Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[StPatsAbu]

The excuses on here.  It's not as if Logan & Dooher are starting with a blank canvas ffs. This squad have been to AI semis
and AI final and but for a peno miss prob would've been beaten by a depleted Armagh playing with 14 men for 10 mins.  Defence and midfield a shambles. Kerry and Dublin will rip them a new one if management don't get their act together quickly.

Peter Harte and McCurry were excellent today and I thought Mattie Donnelly looked a lot more assured in a settled position.
McClure showed well early on and Morgan made a fantastic save for the penalty. Lots of positives today, keep it lit lads 👍🏻

They have probably had about 3 weeks of training together.
Bear in mind also the Covid restrictions that they are working under, eg no indoor meetings, no indoor changing rooms, not even a shower.
They are clearly trying to implement a new style of play. They have had no McKenna Cup to develop it or players. People spent years on here complaining about Harte and his style of okay. Now they complain about the new set up after two games player. I would say in terms of this season it's a write off for them and they deserve a by ball.

Big issue for me is how poor mckenna seems to be playing. He seems frustrated and not enjoying his position. Played only a few games last year but made a huge impact while he seems to he struggling so far. Early days yet so hopefully he can turn it around.

Shooting needs worked on, a number if men had a few poor wides. Burns and hampsey come to mind.

McKenna is a huge worry. Seems very frustrated at how little involvement he's had. For me he's not an inside player. I know we are short McShane and need a ball winner inside but it's not McKenna. He should be playing out the field, preferably at 11.

McCurry won a lot of ball in the second half when the supply was right to him. We could do with McNulty or McAliskey in there if they are available.

McClure was another one who had a very poor wide earlier. I'd be very worried if Burns is picked again to start next week. He was poor again yesterday.

Is Kilpatrick still in the squad? Surely worth a run at midfield.

I find myself agreeing with most things you say Angelo so good man, keep it up 😉

I think we need to stay patient and realise this is a new management setup with a good few new players brought in.
Fergal and Brian seem to be willing to give everyone a chance to prove themselves and I was surprised to see young Munroe get a start so that must give everyone in the squad great hope that everyone has indeed a clean slate and if you are performing in training then you'll get your chance.
It was great to see Canavan, McCurry, Bradley and Donaghy flair and sharpness on full display and I think most of us would rather see the right combination of those players rather than playing more defensive minded or physically minded forwards.

Richie Donnelly is our best foot passing "big lad" we have to play at MF. Obviously his continuing fitness worries will be the main problem but I wonder would him and Mattie or McKenna be the best options for midfield.
I also hate bad mouthing any player but to me Burns always seems to be an accident or yellow/black or red card waiting to happen.
Yesterday penalty a prime example as he doesn't seem to know how to pull back from a tackle.

McGeary can do the same but I think he brings a lot more positives to the table.

So where is the Monaghan game being played next week and are we being allowed in?

Healy Park and a maximum of 500

How would you even distribute them out?

[God14]

Dooher, in post match presser, confirms McShane won't be available next week. Was quite positive though on his prospects for Championship

[Angelo]

We'd want to see McShane for the League relegation playoff/ semi final pending the outcome of the league next week.

It's great that all 4 teams have something to play for next week.

Good result yesterday and finished the game strongly. MC curry and canavan have to start from now on. Burns is a liability. Peter Harte was much better and Mattie too. Definitely a better balance to the team in second half. Moving in the right direction for sure.

[trailer]

The Team played better as a whole because they had natural forwards. The limits of McGeary and Myler aren't as evident when McCurry and Canavan are providing a threat.

McCurry simply has to start. He has all the talent you'd ever need.
Mattie Donnellly, and Harte were much better.
McGeary gives the ball away far to much.
Burns is a very limited footballer
Myler needs to offer more, much more.
McKenna was quiet.

What game were you watching?

Meyler had another very good game again.

Set up a number of scores including a brilliant 50 yard pass right onto the chest of Bradley which was converted by a mark and a brilliant score on the outside of the foot at the end. And the volume of work he gets through, the tackles he makes and the defensive work he does is all taken for granted. He's probably the most improved player I've seen in the first two games under the new management.

Is Kilpatrick still in the squad? Surely worth a run at midfield.

Still in squad. Possibly being held back as the most inexperienced member of the panel probably at moment.

How would he be any more inexperienced than someone who just joined the panel this year?
