Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[WT4E]

I seen a good few lads there, Niall Kelly, Peter Teague, Peter Óg McCartan, Lorcán Quinn, Conor Shields, the two Jones', Pádraig McNulty amongst others were there sitting behind the substitutes. David Mulgrew was there too wrapped up so assume he was injured today as was originally listed to start. I heard McShane was down with the flu.

Yeah, fair play to Mickey, Louth going very well.

Flu wasn't that bad. I seen a picture of at the six nations Saturday evening. Obviously out of favour and rightly so.

Bit like last season, this Tyrone campaign could have ended in a League final with more momentum early on. It's still only two League titles which is not great return for a team who've been in Division 1 for most of last 30 years.

is that better?

 Logan said he was injured in after match interview and out for couple of weeks

Am I correct in thinking tyrone are more or less safe from relegation and it would take a bizarre set of results to relegate them?  If correct I would fire a few new faces in there again or give game time to those that haven't figured so far

[sam03/05]

Seem to be safe - unless they get beat by about 16 points and Monaghan win v Mayo.
They can also make the league final ,if Kerry beat Galway by a narrow margin  and Tyrone overtake them both on score difference. Both scenarios unlikely. Would require a 6 or 7 point win over Armagh

McCarron, Quinn, Oguz, Ruairi, Niall Devlin all got game time again yesterday and acquitted themselves well. A quiet, under the radar rebuild is underway.

I would like to have seen McCarron get longer. We still need a 6.

[Redhand Santa]

Thought McNamee might have got minutes yesterday. Is he an option at 6 if back fully fit? Leaving defence of Quinn Hampsey McKernan Harte McNamee Meyler and Burns playing sweeper?

This is last outing before championship and chance to test ourselves against a defensive team which we've struggled to play against in last few years. I can't see wholesale changes but likes of Sludden/McNamee/McShane could be doing with time. Could be a chance to get a look at McGleenan at some point too.

[CK_Redhand]

It's taken Daragh a couple of years but he's really established himself as a top intercounty forward. Probably our best player of the year so far.

Definitely good potential with the rebuild with players named above. Overall in a much more positive place than 3 weeks ago.

*edit intercounty not intercontinental

[Jim Bob]

Sooner we get rid of Logan & dooher the better.

Well Scout ....what you reckon now ?

It cannot be underestimated the difference Mattie Donnelly makes to that team. Simply immense this last few games. We need to either find another one for the next 10 years or regenerate him.

[An Watcher]

It's a bit alarming that when you take him out of the team the wheels tend to fall off a bit.  Hopefully he'll stay injury free but some of the more senior players need to step yo when he's nit there

He brings a level of leadership and calmness than is sadly missing when he is not on the pitch.

The professionalism of M Donnelly needs to be matched with the under 20s coming up through, when first on the panel was a bit lightweight but in a short space of time was well fit for it. Him coming back in the side with a re-jig in the half back line along with McCurry and Canavan inside has worked well. Hope Oguz keeps on it as his speed and height in half forward is needed and can be real asset
