Replying To ChinCanHurl: "Absolutely putrid stuff. We are gone" Terrible, 11 points scored in 75 minutes hurling is a very poor return. Yellaman (Wexford) - Posts: 182 - 22/04/2023 18:35:59 2472474 Link
Hurled to our ability yet again. Its nearly a crime that jacko is left on the line behind certain starters who dont even stand out with their club. We were very lucky with the two goals and that galway were so poor. Waltermitty2 (Wexford) - Posts: 278 - 22/04/2023 18:44:10 2472476 Link
Wexford forwards were poor. No aerial ball winner. No real goal threatening forward either. No game plan that I could see. Any long balls weren't won in the air. Rory was a mile from the goal. For a forward that excited me so much a few years ago he hasn't really delivered yet. Injuries haven't helped. Mc Innerny perfect player for Mac. Playing two man forward line doesn't suit McDonald. He hasn't the speed and when he was breaking the ball no one around him. Very poor penalty, big turning point. Thought the wexford backs did OK but hard yo say as half the wexford team in the Wexford half!! Losing Chin was massive. Very disappointing 2nd half. Antrim and Dublin playing a draw makes it interesting. Wexgirl96 (Wexford) - Posts: 10 - 22/04/2023 18:45:26 2472477 Link
Said earlier in the week I would've been happy to get a performance . What we got was just awful. No game plan…. same old problem with puck outs… .. free count against us…best forward is playing in his own half….dreadful stuff. Looks like we're trying to play hurling like the Italians play soccer. Thought Liam og tried very hard and jacko added something when he came on. Good to see ohanlon and Rory get through the game. Other than that I don't see any positives. Don't want to even think about Antrim at the moment. Could get very ugly HurlingBuzz (Wexford) - Posts: 556 - 22/04/2023 18:45:58 2472478 Link
No game plan. No aerial ball winner in the forwards. No goal threatening forward. Mcdonald not suited to two man forward line. Doesn't have the speed. Breaking the ball down to no one!! Can't understand playing Rory so far from the goal. Baffles me. Hate to say it but had a feeling Mac would miss. It was a massive turning point. Rory done well on frees would of let him take it. Chin was a huge loss. His aerial ability alone. His leadership. He creates such space for the likes of O Connor and Dunbar. Very disappointing 2nd half. Backs did OK but the wexford half was so crowded, very defensive...... Wexgirl96 (Wexford) - Posts: 10 - 22/04/2023 18:57:04 2472485 Link
Replying To Yellaman: "Terrible, 11 points scored in 75 minutes hurling is a very poor return." And Galway are poor aswel, I am not sure what the hell kind of game plan Darragh Egan was trying to play but it didn't work. MacDonalds attempt at a penalty was something you'd see at an under 15 match. A lot of players are not up to Liam McCarthy level, Antrim will give Wexford plenty of it next week and they will take great confidence drawing with Dublin today.

Given you only appear here after defeats( No sign of ya since the end of the league) I don't value your opinion in any way whatsoever.

Playing Rory as sweeper after Dee went off was criminal especially when Chin wasn't involved, that's our 2 best forwards right there,14 scores even allowing for the conditions is very poor, looked to be no shape in terms of forward play, full credit to McGovern and O'Hanlon 2 absolute warriors, today was never going to define our year but the next 2 weekends certainly will go a long way to doing so.

Mogie could barely run for the ball coming up to half time yet played the full match, bizzare decision. Was wishing Mark F was there for some of the long range frees and the peno. Thought Conor Hearne made too many mistakes. Liam Ryan needs a few games under his belt. Felt bad for Damien Reck who looked devastated to walk off during warm up. You could see Chin trying to console him. Hope he is not out again for a while. Ref was poor for both sides, thought Galway supporters were going to lynch him at half time. Not confident at all for next few matches. Final point is Egan has no command or presence on the side line. I am struggling to get behind him and think the team are the same. goreyll (Wexford) - Posts: 165 - 22/04/2023 19:19:42 2472498 Link

Look, Antrim will be a tough game but we will get over them next week. Lawlor was solid in goals, Foley was very good as well. Loosing by 6 away to Galway isn't that bad considering everything that has happened this year. You loose Chin and Reck, two of the most important players in the spine of your team before throw in. We are literally having no luck this year at all. By the Dublin game I expect us to be playing far more cohesive if we can keep the same 15 with Chin and Reck hopefully back. You may be right about Egan. I have my doubts but we see after championship what happens. If he fails this year, you'd imagine he'll be replaced. On a brighter note I read on Twitter that the Celtic challenge teams are flying it. One of the teams beat Cork and another beat Waterford and Dublin. U20s, i thought were very good and unlucky not to beat Galway last night. Wouldn't surprise me if their in a Leinster final. Green shoots and all!

I don't like being negative but I couldn't believe it when Rory started in the half back line. Total madness to say the least. A natural scoring forward and he is put back there!!!! Mac should not have taken the penalty. Jacko has a much stronger strike and I really think he would have hit the net. We started welll and finished well. It's the huge chunk in the middle that worries me. Chin was a massive loss and we have nobody that comes remotely near. I would be very concerned about our remaining games. Okay we might beat Antrim and Westmeath but based on that performance I wouldn't be sure of getting into the top3. Damiens loss left gaping holes down the middle.conor Foley hadn't the experienc or knowhow to cope against a powerful Galway half forward line. A 6 point loss flattered us greatly.

Replying To Doylerwex: "Can you please just find a different hobby?" So you think its ok to have bang average club players at best starting ahead of one of our best forwards? Waltermitty2 (Wexford) - Posts: 278 - 22/04/2023 20:13:46 2472520 Link
Replying To TerribleFootwork: "Given you only appear here after defeats( No sign of ya since the end of the league) I don't value your opinion in any way whatsoever." Thats not true. Id be writing posts every weekend if that were the case. Anyone that follows the club scene in wexford that aint deluded can see that the selection of certain players is crazy. Its as if manager and selectors are complete spoofers which is very, very common in the gaa. Waltermitty2 (Wexford) - Posts: 278 - 22/04/2023 20:27:34 2472522 Link

Throughly inaccurate there's been 3 u17 and u20 games in the last month, no sign of you, if the seniors win there's no sign of you, your bluff has well and truly been called.

Our star forward taking line ball in his own full back line, enough said, why was D O Keefe taken off? Efan has to go in my opinion hunting (Wexford) - Posts: 1150 - 22/04/2023 20:52:09 2472529 Link

What are you waffling about? What has me not posting about our minor and u20 team got to do with our senior teams shambles? If there was a positive post to be written i would write it. When did our seniors last win a competetive game apart from westmeath? Waltermitty2 (Wexford) - Posts: 278 - 22/04/2023 20:59:20 2472534 Link

Just on Egan there, fairly silly to pick up a yellow card for presumably the handbags in the tunnel at HT, but does anyone know did the fella from Galway get censured as well? I agree that he doesn't exude much confidence on the sideline, especially when the gameplan seems to be spur of the moment and not very defined. beano (Wexford) - Posts: 1504 - 22/04/2023 21:26:52 2472542 Link
