Corner back Niall Devlin's goals and points papering over a dire performance

Niall Gartland reporting only 3000 at the game. Worrying times.

Truthsayer · June 02, 2024, 02:44:47 PM

The other 14,000 are lucky

Tyrone attendance had been low for the last few years. Question is does a higher fan attendance create a better team or does better team performance increase attendance. Probably a bit of both.

But its far easier justifing attending games as the cost when you know you are going to see a good performance

Comprehensive scoreline in the end I suppose. Is an inevitability about it. Can't understand the default position of taking off McCurry.. and putting on McShane..

Tyrones best player yet again was Niall Morgan. Provided the attacking spark time and time again with his line breaks. We just hope he has several years left in him.
Kennedy, Devlin in the first half, Clarke had good games as well. Two Canavans and Mattie prominent when things opened up in the last 15.
Performance again must improve, the opening 50 minutes or so won't cut it against Cork or anyone we face after that. Tyrone not utilising the pace in the middle 8 remains an issue, for too long the play was too slow.

Was Petey came on for McCurry

I'm aware of that hence the... before McShane reference. Not saying he put McShane on for McCurry

O'Hare done well
Handled a lot of ball
Always looking to go forward with pace. Will see plenty more of him

Quote from: RedHand88 on May 28, 2024, 03:49:34 PMDo Tyrone need to drop the policy of only employing from within the county?

Can't see that happening. Think only us, Dublin and Kerry have this policy (I stand to be corrected). Personally, I want the policy to continue. It would be an admission that there's no one good enough within the county to do the job. I would never believe that.

John Donnelly was a Fermanagh man. Think when Tyrone won Ulster in 56 & 57 Gerry Brown was from Down. 1st AI minor team was managed by a Dub Peter O'Reilly.

Is there an argument to try and rest up this weekend? We're facing 3 battles in a very short period of time with the last one being up against a fresh kerry,dublin or armagh/galway.

Take the foot off the pedal, focus on an away game the following week. Or, go hell for leather this weekend and chances are, still end up in second place.

Just thinking of that debacle last year against kerry

Likely we will rest up this weekend and play cork next weekend

That would be perfect

Given the most likely scenario this weekend is still second or third regardless of result as Donegal should beat Clare with plenty to spare, management should use the game to build the fitness of Harte, Burns, Oguz, Kilpatrick and give extended game time to O'Hare. I would also stick with Clarke who had a good game against Clare and stick with Ruairi Canavan whos confidence will surely improve with 70 minutes under his belt and a few good scores late on. Having 20 odd players in good condition and competing should have us in reasonable shape for Prelim QF and Quarter Finals.
Morgan; Clarke Hampsey McKernan; O'Hare Donnelly Harte, Kennedy Kilpatrick; Burns Oguz O'Donnell/Daly; McCurry D Canavan R Canavan. Still leaves Devlin, Daly/O'Donnell, McGeary, McShane, C Quinn, M O'Neill.

Cork will be formidable opposition and if I'm correct, second place gets home advantage against third place team in next round so be best to beat Cork.. for that reason I wouldn't be putting Niall Devlin (MOM on Sunday) on the bench.
