Tyrone County Football and Hurling

Because of what happened 2 years ago, you cannot write this squad off. It's just that you haven't seen more than 20 mins at that level for 2 years now and are hoping it suddenly happens this Sunday

If they leave it to Sunday it could be too late...

Your just hoping that they can get through this week and the sight of a big team next week in Croke Park really draws the best out of them. Our record in Ballybofey this last decade has been miserable, can't face another defeat there again this week. Though we're undefeated in knockout championship games there.

Canavan has stepped up arguably giving us a greater threat up front than two years ago. It's legs around that middle zone that has been a big issue. Even the likes of Hampsey and McNamee aren't getting forward as regularly either.

Donegal knocked us out in 2020 at Ballybofey.

Forgot about that - was thinking the super 8 was the only knockout game.

Maybe it'll be delayed til 10pm, then extra time and penalties.

There is the likelihood of another John Heslin get out of jail card on Saturday.

And there is the (mad) likelihood of beating Dublin or Kerry the following Saturday.

Conor mckenna a big miss.

[An Watcher]

He was never outstanding but had a bit of an X factor and unpredictability about him

[Delb123]

no consistency - he could either be a 2/10 or 9/10 from one week to the next

Conor mckenna a big miss.

Would you switch him for Darragh Canavan who has effectively took his place?

Not in the form Canavan has been in this year in that position no but there would definitely be a spot for him the starting line up if he hung about.

McKenna in the first short spell he was back looked a level above. By his own admission he wasn't great in the AI win but probably wouldn't have won AI without him. Didn't seem fit enuf in his last year

[square_ball]

He was poor last year but maybe his head and heart was already in Australia at that stage. He had some big moments in 2021 and I think he is a big enough miss for us.

Yes a fully fit focused McKenna starts all day. Nr11
