Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[ose 14]

the fitness thing only becomes a big issue in the last 15 minutes when a team has to do a lot of chasing, and unfortunately tyrones lovely direct football in first half was more to do with the wind than anything else.  the coaching set up has had that much stick they eventually caved to a change. second half different story tyrone back to the sideways shite as they havent the ballers to kick it long when pressed nor the stomach to break lines. once dublin started soring easily in the second half and the difference in class became more apparent heads dropped and the panic set in. pyschologically the heads go down, the damage from the annihilation in the summer is imbedded in the psyche of this group. i would have thought any team that got roasted in croker the way tyrone did in he summer woud need 7 changes at least. it must be quite demoralising for us all to think that mickey  has been hammering for 3 months and the dubs have been back 3 weeks.

What team would we like to see for Sunday? I'm going for the following

                        Morgan (Could be O'Neill due to rotation)

McLaughlin         McCarron          McKernan

McCann              Hampsey          Harte

            M Donnelly           McClure

R Donnelly          Sludden            McShane

Lee Brennan        McAliskey         Bradley


I think McLauglin did enough last week to earn another start with a few great tackles. Also think McKernan did well when he came on and is definitely worth persevering with. I read that McNamee has been struggling with flu and after playing Sigerson midweek could probably do with a rest.

I noticed McClure had strapping on his knee when he came off last week, was this the reason for his withdrawal? He had been getting himself into great positions although his shooting obviously let him down.

Richy Donnelly deserves a run of a few games i think. They way he plays with his head up and looks for the pass into the full forward line would definitely help us develop a new style of play even though some of these didn't come off last week. Also thought he did some great defensive work v Dublin.

Hoping to see a more attacking player brought in for Aiden McCrory. McShane spent very little time actually in at full forward last week and mostly operated around the middle so I've lined him out at wing forward and brought in Bradley. Think we could use Bradley in a similar role to the one he played in 2015 and where he currently plays for Jordanstown, in front of the full forward line playmaking and popping up with scores.

This would leave a full forward line of Skeet and Lee. Mindful that this would be Lee's 4th game in under two weeks between Sigerson and Tyrone although if he is fit I'm sure Mickey will be keen to give him another go after last week.

I realise the attacking extent of this side is maybe a bit extreme for Mickey's tastes and it's more likely we will see a Kieran McGeary or Ronan McNabb in for McCrory but the above is what I would like to see

Did T McCann come of injured vs Dublin?

C. Cavanagh is back available I think unless he's over celebrated and maybe Harry Loughran will get a bit of game time after all his championship goals he may be worth a game or 2.

I was listening to Colm Cav on Newstalk last night, he is struggling with the flu at the minute and indicated that this weekend might come to early for him. Agree Harry Loughran will probably get a game or two at some stage but I don't expect it to be this weekend

Ah yes, the old flu one.

Used it the odd Monday back in the day myself.

[Dire Ear]

Moys players should be given a few weeks off,  if Tyrone can't stay in Div 1 without them--so be it

[The Trap]

We were much better when the team was named on a Thursday night!

[GlenMan]

Niall Morgan; Hugh Pat McGeary, Padraig Hampsey, Cathal McCarron; Tiarnan McCann, Rory Brennan, Ciaran McLaughlin; Mattie Donnelly, Declan McClure; Conor Meyler, Niall Sludden, Peter Harte; Lee Brennan, Cathal McShane, Connor McAliskey.

I like the look of that team, looking forward to this game now. For those that can't make it it is deferred on TG4 at around 5pm.

[GetOverTheBar]

Nice to see Lee Brennan named again, another good test for him this week.

[God14]

Like the look of the team also, 
Don't like to single one man out,  but Cathal mccarronn well well off the pace now.
Fine servant over this past decade but jesus lads there has to better about at this stage.  Its up to others to take the shirt of Cathal, what's taking so long?

is up to Harte to hand the jersey over... Michael McKernan

He's been looking really sharp, but lets hope he doesn't end up like young Clifford and Moran in Kerry and getting hurt out of high intensity games every few days with Sigerson and league this last wile

[Thebigdog]

It amazes me why players like McCarron and McCrory are in contention when they can't defend(Colm will bail us out) or can't shoot. What doesn't greybeard put two extra "forwards" onto the team instead. The wides Tyrone have been kicking has been their problem this last ten years. As for beating Kildare this weekend I think it will be very tough as these players are psychologically finished after last August.
