Replying To Afinestick: "I would expect lee to be fit. Id let him completely rest up this week. Damien completely pulled up he could be under pressure for the Kilkenny game. Jippo was carrying his leg the whole game aswell so hard to know if he will be ready. Its an awful pity we have had no luck with injuries this year" Damien was holding his foot when he pulled up so fingers crossed Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 16387 - 09/05/2023 13:20:12 2477017 Link
Replying To Afinestick: "Think Mac deserves to start after the last day. He is still our best goal threat" I agree. Mac should definitely start and I bet he will. Dreadful mistake leaving him off against Dublin. He might have given us the edge if he started. Some if not most of our forwards were brutal and that's putting it mildly. Yes I know they were miles away from goal but where were the runners from midfield or half forwards? They should have moved forward and be ready to get passes in the scoring zone. Let's hope that the silly errors of the last game will be rectified. Magpie2 (Wexford) - Posts: 524 - 09/05/2023 15:40:22 2477061 Link
In my opinion the Westmeath game could go either way, the lad's confidence will be rock bottom and I can't see injuries healing in time. goreyll (Wexford) - Posts: 164 - 09/05/2023 15:43:44 2477062 Link
Replying To wexfordwin: "Just listened to the "interview" online. I think even Storey found it uncomfortable after a few minutes as Corcoran was on a click bait run. Corcoran who likes to present himself as a great hurling man is leading the charge of negativity at the moment. Surely we get behind the team for the tow last games and hold the post mortem then!" This is the same Alan Corcoran who didn't go to a Leinster final involving Wexford a few years back because he 'had a cold'. I'd say his knowledge of hurling doesn't amount to too much in fairness.

Agreed about the injuries its hard to see all the 3 lads being right. Hopefully they are. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 16387 - 09/05/2023 16:31:36 2477079 Link
Replying To Purpleandgold72: "This is the same Alan Corcoran who didn't go to a Leinster final involving Wexford a few years back because he 'had a cold'. I'd say his knowledge of hurling doesn't amount to too much in fairness." Genuinely don't know who Alan Corcoran thinks he is to be able to attack the management like that. Is he a GAA pundit? Has he played the game? Does he even attend games? He reminds me alot of Joe Duffy, stirs for the attention. Story's management record does not read to well either. Ultimately, the management did not hit 19 wides. They did not drop 6 balls short. Did not give away scores from free's due to turnovers. Had we won the game on Saturday as we should have, Mr Corcoran would have been on the attack about something else on Monday morning, like a lot of posters on this forum also. This negativity and poison everyone seems to have towards Darragh would be less. Its typical of the bandwagon that Wexford is. Players need to carry a lot of the responsibility for Saturday too. countyman2022 (Wexford) - Posts: 826 - 09/05/2023 16:49:55 2477087 Link

You'd swear we got totally outclassed last weekend by some of the reaction Countyman. By Warwickshire. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 16387 - 09/05/2023 17:13:43 2477097 Link
Replying To Viking66: "You'd swear we got totally outclassed last weekend by some of the reaction Countyman. By Warwickshire." It's ridiculous. Left game behind us. Had we won, there would be nout about. Maybe it just sums up out support. Hopefully I'm wrong. countyman2022 (Wexford) - Posts: 826 - 09/05/2023 17:32:17 2477100 Link
Replying To Viking66: "You'd swear we got totally outclassed last weekend by some of the reaction Countyman. By Warwickshire." It's not about being outclassed or thinking Dublin are sub-par, but most of us agreed on here that we were sacrificing the league for the championship and the Dublin match was our test on where we are. We failed that test, both through management game plan and poor play. Re your proposed team for Westmeath, if Chin can feature at all, even sitting on the box, I would like to see him on. I'd also have Mikie Dwyer or Richie Lawyor in before Banville and would agree on trying a few alternatives to Conor Hearne. Think Mac deserves a start too. goreyll (Wexford) - Posts: 164 - 09/05/2023 17:37:19 2477101 Link
Hold on a minute, the players have to take responsibility as well no doubt about that, but egan is our manager and getting well paid for it too. The criticism of him here is not personal and the truth is, he has not done a good job with this team. No game plan (2 years into the job), not pushing up on puck out, playing our best players out of position or not at all, resting an all star in one of the biggest games of the year, I could go on and on and on(sadly). If I was not doing my job well enough well then people would question me and I would be pulled up on it and rightly so too. hunting (Wexford) - Posts: 1149 - 09/05/2023 17:54:45 2477107 Link
I'm guessing Lee's injury is the sort of one that'd need a lot longer than three weeks to heal and it looks like the sort of injury you can play through so we may as well start him versus Westmeath. Damien Reck's and Liam Ryan's looked liked hamstrings so I doubt they'll be back for the Westmeath game, the Kilkenny game might also come a week or two soon for them as well. Here's how I'd start versus Westmeath: James Lawlor Shane Reck Matthew O'Hanlon Simon Donohoe Conor Devitt Diarmuid O'Keeffe Joe O'Connor Kevin Foley Cathal Dunbar Jack O'Connor Lee Chin Oisín Foley Rory O'Connor Conor McDonald Liam Óg McGovern They played a sweeper last year; if they do so again this year, I'd drop Liam Óg out to midfield and leave them with two spare men in their own full-back line, you'd think they'd have to push up one of the spare men then, leaving more space inside for our full-forward line.

Replying To countyman2022: "It's ridiculous. Left game behind us. Had we won, there would be nout about. Maybe it just sums up out support. Hopefully I'm wrong." Be interesting if we beat Wedtmeath and kilkenny how many of these negative poster will come on here very few I'd imagine and then you would have posters on saying we will win the all ireland ythen as well.Real truth is with injuries bad luck and some wayward shooting things not working out so well but we just didn't turn into a joe mcdonagh team either.What a load of rubbish.

Replying To Viking66: "Damien was holding his foot when he pulled up so fingers crossed" Did no one else notice he didn't want to go off? He seemed bemused by the fact he was being taken off. Fulgrim (Wexford) - Posts: 270 - 09/05/2023 20:10:18 2477135 Link

U20 team named. Good luck to the lads 2moro looking forward to it! Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 16387 - 09/05/2023 22:25:19 2477151 Link
Westmeath have gone back since last year so id be shocked if Wexford didn't get the win at home. Dublin have a dreadful record against kk and its really hard to see them getting a result in nowlan park. A win for kk here means they're through to the leinster final so anyone with any kind of a knock will be rested. Plus they will want to give squad members gametime and they will know Wexford will be fighting for their lives so kk will be happy to see what the squad has to offer. Huge match Wednesday night in the u20. It's do or die now and alot if the lads will know they left a leinster final behind last year. Billy drennan isn't even a sub and altho we don't like to see anyone injured he is a massive loss for kk. Denis walsh who was excellent last year isn't a sub and niall Rowe who played alot of league is only a sub so I think it's a wonderful chance for wexford to get to a leinster final.

A great version from kind neighbor. I just wish I was there that night. Talking about lifting the roof, Bowyer blew the damn thing off the rafters. Probably my late father's favorite song ever. Come on lads, "fight or die"! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRYdCHR7C1I foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 2318 - 10/05/2023 04:38:36 2477158 Link
