'Only appear'? Wexford have lost 5 out of 6 games this year (League & Championship). If people were to only appear when Wexford won, it would be like a ghost town on here.

I was trawling through the records there and our current four game losing streak across league and championship is our worst run of form since Bonnar's last season, when we lost our first five league games on the spin that season. I knew it looked familiar beano (Wexford) - Posts: 1504 - 22/04/2023 22:38:26 2472578 Link 0 |
I'd agree with you completely

I'm not just talking about the last 4 months.

Thats just not true. Has got some good scores and had good games since then although i will admit has not played near his potential. Still alot better than a player who i dont think offers anything even if he gets through "alot of work". Its a hurling match where highest score wins. If a lad cant stand out at club level the chances are they wont make an impact at inter county. Iv said it before that its no surprise that the likes of ian carty had a positive league campaign because anytime iv seen taghmon play he catches the eye because he is a good stickman and well able to hurl. Its not rocket science. We cant afford to not start jack. Mcdonald has been very, very poor for wexford lately but id make the same arguement for him that he has to start as hes a scoring threat and alot better than what would be replacing him.

Hopefully he can rediscover his form, his drop off in the last 18 months has felt almost like losing a player, he's top quality when he's going well.

I'm hoping so Waltermitty. Hope that post cheered you up a bit!

Richie is an excellent hurler. Hopefully he gets the operation to cure his foot sooner rather than later. I know it means him missing a chunk of playing time but surely it's in his best interests looking forwards. He could be a great intercounty player in years to come.

It was probably after the last positive performance and cant remember myself.

Jacko....wouldn't even put his hand up for the first ball he got. Bottled a decent goal chance. Don't make me laugh....if Wexford are serious about IC hurling, we need to rip up what we are doing and start again.

Rubbish, Jack o stood up when many others didn't, was the only forward threat in second half

Jeez lad have you had an epiphany or what! You were writing the obituary of Wexford hurling here a few months ago, I maintain what's a problem for us at the moment for panel depth is we didn't have strong groups coming through from the lads born 1999-2001, only lads from those age groups in the 26 today were James Lawlor, Mcguckin and Ross Banville only others in the panel are Niall Murphy and Jack Doran, think there's plenty of potential the lads younger than that which are this year and last years u20 teams and hopefully lads even younger can drive on too. Real pity Cian Molloy isn't involved this year think he had the potential too push for starting 15, of the lads aged 18-21 those with the most potential over the next few years in my opinion are him, Richie Lawlor, Conor Foley, Luke Murphy and Cillian Byrne. Just to clarify on the Celtic Challenge we've 1 team who beat East Cork today, we lost to Kilkenny last week but qualify for the next phase, each county are approaching it differently Cork have 4 or 5 teams entering, most seem to have 1, Waterford didn't enter any team. It was u14 where we had a blitz with Waterford and Dublin and got 3 wins and a draw, as I said previously Leinster u20 looks a very good standard this year and stronger than Munster, Offaly could be a tricky opponent too for ourselves or Galway in the QF aswel given their recent record at u17.

Has he broken it twice now? Real shame he didn't get a league campaign under his belt. Probably would be a serious contender to start today if he did. One of the better lads to come through. We need more of them though!

Well that's certainly an interesting way of looking at it

Exactly missing our 2 best players we were right in that match yesterday. Will Chin and Reck be back for next week ?

A natural forward. Wish he was just left in around goal. He's great aerial ability and explosive over first 10 yards. Could do serious damage if provided with quality ball..So talented underage that he was asked to do everything for the team and ended up playing in a different position from game to game. Just wish management would leave our best forwards closer to goal as we just don't score enough the way we're playing.

He hasn't been used in his best position by Egan, who seems to prefer Dee there.
