Tyrone County Football and Hurling

Fuzzman · May 22, 2017, 04:26:17 PM

Thought it was interesting that Donegal started so many new lads yesterday and were able to bring on McBrearty, Lacey, Eoin & Mark McHugh and Martin McElhinney.

Most teams that are challenging for All Irelands always have a strong bench but with Tyrone I often feel we don't really have any game changing players to bring on any more unless Mulgrew or Lee Brennan start to impress.

There was no 'love in' before you came along. You and your probable aliases just wrecked the topic by posting about nothing else.

STG, you were extolling the virtues of Malachy O'Rourke a few weeks back. What'd you make of Monaghan's 13 men behind the ball tactics on Saturday evening. Bearing in mind they were playing Fermanagh?

For those of you who know club football well, do people think Lee Brennan will get a chance this year to show us what he's like or will he be held back for another year?
I know he's quite small and Bradley is also not the biggest but I'm just curious to see the young lad given a chance or is young Mulgrew ahead of him at this stage.

I see young Conor McKenna is doing very well for Essendon in Australia.

Omagh_gael, I think it's best not to be asking stg direct questions as most of us would rather to not have to read anything he/she posts.

Is McCarron def out for the weekend and Justin McMahon.... Cant see Derry collapsing like last year the way they did after 20minutes...

Tyrone Gaa · May 23, 2017, 11:10:44 AM

Derry are all over the shop, I see their keeper left the panel this week just before the championship opener, that tells you they are in turmoil. I gather he was dropped and huffed off, which is a pity because he is an awful keeper would of liked to see him involved. Barton and McGuckin are a shambles, if we can't beat Derry comprehensively we may quit. I expect a minimum 8 point win on Sunday and then hopefully kick on for Donegal which will be a real test.

I fully expect to win by something similar,, Derry bound to make some sorts shape at it to half time at least is my opinion...They cannot be worse than last year can they...

If you look at the games last weekend they were all fairly close early on with the underdog keeping it tight and working hard, then in the second half the Division 1 team's (Mayo, Donegal, Monaghan) superior conditioning and quality shone through and they each won by at least 9 points. Anything less than such a convincing display this weekend and Tyrone should be disappointed. Regardless of the history between the sides and the fact Derry have always had the upper hand in Celtic Park, Tyrone are now two divisions above them, have much more quality available at the moment and the whole mood in Derry in relation to the county team is shambolic.

My Tyrone team (assuming McCarron and Justy are injured would be as follows)

1. Morgan
2. Hampsey
3. McNamee
4. McNabb
5. McCann
6. Brennan
7. McGeary
8. Colm Cavanagh
9. Mattie Donnelly
10. Harte
11. Sludden
12. Meyler
13. McCurry
14. Sean Cavanagh
15. Bradley

Realistically though I think McCrory will start corner back with McNabb pushing out to the half back line, leaving McGeary competing with Meyler and McClure for the number 12 spot.

Fuzzman · May 23, 2017, 12:53:53 PM

I think McCrory will also start at corner back with McCarron out as Mickey seems to like his experience in the full back line.
I expect McNabb to be at 6 with McGeary and McCann to be on either side

You would expect one half forward and one corner forward place to be up for grabs.
Last year Ronan O'Neill started and did well but he seems to have gone off the boil again this year.
I notice Bradley has scored 1.20 for his club and McCurry has 2.16 which is quite good but Lee Brennan is away out in front with 3.34.
Jeepers Sean has scord 6.22 for Moy in Div 2. Does he play at FF for them or further out the field?

I don't expect Sean to stay in around the square anyway so it doesn't really matter if he's named at 14 or not.

Derry have nothing to lose as they seem to be majorly written off and don't forget they are at home.

I think Derry being at home has little or no bearing on it. By the sounds of it Derry wans will hardly be out in force so it won't be as if there will be a hostile atmosphere.

The majority of those are frees against Strabane.
