Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[Jim Bob]

Why did  Morgan not start ?

Kilpatrick had a great game - and mccurry. Great team performance...McGleenan some size of a man - he'll be making things awkward for a few opponents this year all being well. Hopefully they can maintain the run of form

McKernan and Kilpatrick probably been the pick of our players from the league imo. Even when we were losing games I thought those 2 still stood up. It looks like a settled line up at this stage now that McNamee is back in and barring maybe McGearys spot being up for grabs, I can't see any more changes to the line up. McGleenan and R Canavan are probably ahead of McShane now in the full forward line pecking order.

I think we'll beat Monaghan and then who knows about Derry in the semi. I suppose in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter too much but it would still be nice to get one over them in Ulster after last year.

Good league for Tyrone - 8 points
Good few new players introduced and given game time
Off my head - Mulgrew, McCarron, Munroe, R Canavan, C Quinn, Oguz, McGleenan, R Jones, B Gallen all got game time as (relatively) new players.
Some of the other established players are hitting a bit of form again

Niall Devlin also started or came on in every game bar yesterday.

The lads who got game time yesterday will have had their eyes opened as it was closer to championship pace than the earlier rounds. They will have quickly learned that another gear is needed.

Don't know what it is as he is a fantastic player and scores a lot of super points but Darragh Canavan seems to miss an awful lot of 1 v 1's with keepers.

I would agree. The amount if forwards who blast the ball at the keeper is unreal. Low and hard is the way to go. Can't remember which famous person said it but they said forwards need to "pass" the ball into the net instead of aimlessly blasting it.

You'll probably never see a better example of that than Peter Canavan against Kerry from Mulligan's pass.

Funny I thought the exact same thing yesterday as well. That's a right few I can remember him missing now even going back to the 2021 semi final v Kerry when he was lucky McShane was following in to punch it to the net. Its surprising given how composed he normally is.

That would be a quote from Mr Joe Brolly

I thought it was Stevie McDonnell

Yes. His da probably sick of dragging him by the lug and making him watch his 05 final goal
