Replying To Magpie2: "We didn't beat Dublin last year." Didn't say we did beat them, only that if he'd played the entire match fully fit, I think we would have won that game. Fulgrim (Wexford) - Posts: 277 - 20/02/2026 15:56:00 2657505 Link

Replying To ExiledInWex: "I think that is it. Wexford are a bit naive and honest, players go down over the ball and just wait for the feel of the player behind before collapsing. Diving is rampant in the game and its time for Wexford to join them and stop trying to beat them. Win that free, get your point, no point being the honest losers any more. Winning breeds winning, losing breeds failure, it was ever thus in my view. But also, I hate this "not showing your hand" lark that mid-rank teams go on with. Go out and win these league games with the best team available and put Kildare on their backside and lay down a marker. Play at full speed, up your game. Because senior hurling is no hiding place. But having seen the Dublin team, I have to honest knowing who Wexford have available I'll be disappointed if we can't win by 6-8 points tomorrow night. I'll be the first to shake hands and say well done and I'll congratulate you on here if my prediction turns out to be way off. We all know April in championship is when it matters. But I want to see us up in 1A, I would like if Wexford joined us but I don't see it happening because I can't see Wexford winning in Clare with all the changes in personnel. I don't believe you are replacing players with better players and that's just my opinion. If I'm wrong, so be it. Safe journey up the N11." There's a 4 point spread with the bookies which I think is fair enough. Open spaces should suit us, but that's a much more seasoned Dublin team so I think we'll struggle to win clean possession. Regardless I'll be there for the lads. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 4257 - 20/02/2026 17:10:00 2657522 Link
Full strength Dublin team at home, if we can keep within 6, with a couple more new lads showing up and fighting to the better end and no injuries, ya couldn't really complain to much at the moment, I suppose hunting (Wexford) - Posts: 1176 - 20/02/2026 17:22:29 2657525 Link

The players that played that day in Ennis last year that need to be replaced are - Seamus Casey Cathal Dunbar Jacko Eoin Ryan Charlie Mcguckin I left out Shane Reck as he didnt come on until the 68th minute. Jacko had one of those days when he was invisible, scored nothing, and I actually had to ask the friend from Ennis I watched the game with was he still on the pitch at one point. Dunbar got a couple from play but disappeared at times also, Seamus had a game that day, but was helped by Rory Hayes being very poor, he doesn't seem to play well against us for some reason. Eoin Eyan was ok, Charlie had his usual sort of game. Honestly I don't think any of the 5 of them played any better that day than the lads that will replace them tomorrow night would have done. And thats not being overly positive. Just in case you think Clare had put out a weak team- Eibhear Quilligan; Rory Hayes, Darragh Lohan, Ian Macnamara; Cian Galvin, John Conlon, Adam Hogan; Cathal Malone, Ryan Taylor; David Fitzgerald, Mark Rodgers, Patrick Crotty; Tony Kelly, Aidan McCarthy, David Reidy. Agree with you the team you have picked and the fact that you have been building momentum since the start of the year you probably should be winning by 6-8. But hopefully games arent won on paper! Safe trip yourself to you and the family! Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 18442 - 20/02/2026 17:32:23 2657530 Link
Has Seamus Casey opted out or is he injured? Always looked good in league and when championship started his time was limited WEXILE (Wexford) - Posts: 464 - 21/02/2026 08:58:54 2657586 Link

Although my expectations aren't high, I must say I'm really buzzing for today. Just love the feeling of walking in when you get the first look at the pitch. Never gets old and feels exactly like it did when I was 6. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 4257 - 21/02/2026 09:38:10 2657589 Link
Will take a moral victory today if nothing else, really this is must win for Dublin and they pretty much have their full arsenal available ….if we can keep within touching distance for 50 odd mins I'd be relatively happy with that going back down the road tonight.
