Replying To OpenStandWall: "Have we missed the boat as far as league semi finals go this year do yous think? I think we'll be in 1a next year, can see us beating one of Waterford or Cork at the least" Two wins and we could be there. That's hard to imagine though Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3884 - 26/02/2024 22:14:58 2528510 Link
This is probably the hardest time we've had picking a team in a long time which is fantastic. 1. Not fanning 2. S Reck 3. C Foley 4. Jippo 5. Molloy 6. D Reck 7. O'Hanlon 8. R. Lawlor 9.Hearne 10. Mogie 11. Chinner 12. O. Foley 13. K.Foley 14. ROC 15. Casey 16. Not fanning 17. Murphy 18. Donohue 19. Devitt 20. Dee 21. Mac 22. Jacko 23. Dunbar 24. Byrne-Dunbar 25. Tucker 26. Charlie This is a very difficult exercise. It's a solid defense with some physicality, class and sticky markers. A workman like midfield but slightly lacking in strength. A couple of targets in the forwards with serious scoring power. In terms of impact, imagine being able to bring jacko, dee, Mac, CBD or Dunbar on with 15 minutes to go in a close game. Finally we're starting to build the type of panel you need for the round robin. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3884 - 26/02/2024 22:35:40 2528511 Link

I think we beat waterford. Also with possibly a few more back by the time of the Cork game I wouldn't hold much fear of them either at this time of year. ChinCanHurl (Wexford) - Posts: 302 - 27/02/2024 06:58:24 2528528 Link

If Lee, Dee, Mogie, Matthew, Kevin, Shane, Damien, Jippo, Oisin and Rory are FULLY fit they have to start. Devitt, Dwyer, Donohue, Jacko, Mac and Dunbar are currently fighting for a place I feel. I need to see more of Duggan. I'd like to see more of him. I'd like to see Doyle and Mark Byrne get a good half against Waterford or Cork. Assuming, from rumours heard, that Oisin isn't fit before the start of the championship in around 8 weeks, and that Dee, Mac and Mikey are only fit enough for a half game, hoping like mad Rory is fully fit, and wanting the team nearly to be as strong finishing as starting, I'd go- Duggan Shane, Foley, Jippo Devitt, Damien, Matthew Kevin, Hearne Dunbar, Chin, Jacko Mogie, Casey, Rory. Jacko to be replaced after 15 minuutes if he's not in the game. Hard enough to pick that without condensing the other 20 odd lads into 11 places so I'm not going to.

Think he needs to be back to stake his claim in the next 2 games though. Its great we finally have game changers to come of the bench . Managing Chin will be key through the round robin . Lee just wont be able to play 5 games of 70 + minutes over 7 weeks Afinestick (Wexford) - Posts: 999 - 27/02/2024 08:59:10 2528541 Link
Watched the match last night here, a solid performance overall with lots to work on. It is February. Good to see new faces put their hands up and some old timers might be forced out to the bench. We need that. I still think Fanning is the best goalkeeper in Wexford and none of the other options have convinced me otherwise. Didn't concede a goal at the weekend. The whole setup looks and sounds fresh and rejuvenated. I know people involved and hear the buzz at the moment is good. StoreysTash (Wexford) - Posts: 1923 - 27/02/2024 09:47:22 2528547 Link
Oisin Foley out for the season according to the independent. ChinCanHurl (Wexford) - Posts: 302 - 27/02/2024 10:55:18 2528566 Link
Do Wexford want to win the league? Final is 2 weeks before championship. If I was a Wexford supporter (who am I kidding saying I am not at least sort of at this point, especially with how we are going), I would settle for getting in to Division 1 and get ready for Antrim and us. Win those 2, Wexford have every chance of Leinster final. Lose both it could be like last year. ExiledInWex (Dublin) - Posts: 1461 - 27/02/2024 11:10:10 2528569 Link

Given the 7-8 experienced players we still have to return id be delighted if we got to a league final to get more game time into those lads and more top level exposure for our younger lads. We arent in a position in Wexford to be turning down a place in a national league final. We would still have 2 weeks to prepare for Dublin and would probably be playing a challenge game that weekend anyway. It's hard to see us reaching the league final at the moment we would need to beat Cork and Waterford, get ahead on Clare or KK on score difference and then beat one of Galway, Limerick or Tipp in a semi final Afinestick (Wexford) - Posts: 999 - 27/02/2024 11:48:50 2528581 Link

After being at the league games it's brilliant that lads are getting exposure and willing to dog it out but shows the step up from Wexford club hurling to inter county is huge. McGukian stand out performer in the club champ but will struggle to make wing back based on Leinster Club and league to date. Pity that Cian Molloy didn't commit sooner and do the same S&C as McGukian has for the last 5 years as has all the hurling but looks too light and breaking down with injury now regularly If everyone fit I'd go with this team for the all ireland semi 1 Fanning 2 S Reck 3 C Foley 4 N Murphy 5 Jippo 6 D Reck 7 Hanlon 8 Hearne 9 Dee 10 Jacko 11 Chin 12 Moggie 13 K Foley 14 Casey 15 ROC grassroots01 (Wexford) - Posts: 182 - 27/02/2024 11:52:17 2528584 Link

Replying To ChinCanHurl: "Oisin Foley out for the season according to the independent." Dissapointed to hear Oisin is out for the season. Has done well for us the last 2 years is probably a certain starter if fully fit. Hope to see him back in a Wexford jersey next year. On the injury front Joe O Connor and Cian Molloy are expected back in the squad for the trip to Waterford. ROC , Dwyer , Mac and Jippo could be back for Cork game while Dee and Mogie will only feature at the end of March if we reach a league semi.

Is the Cork game on the 16th or Paddy's day? Hopefully it won't be clashing with the rugby. OpenStandWall (Wexford) - Posts: 286 - 27/02/2024 12:22:33 2528591 Link
