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."
'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

I'd agree with you completely

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

Replying To Viking66:  "1st decent performance by Jacko since 2019."
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.

Replying To Viking66:  "Kevin is the only man for that job. Hes years of experience doing it and is probably the best in the country at it. We finally looked solid when he came on."
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.

Replying To Waltermitty2:  "Id disagree with 7 but have to concede that things are not as bad as i first thought after reading your post. With that team you named we are capable of getting results but will we see that team start at any stage?"
I'm hoping so Waltermitty. Hope that post cheered you up a bit!

Replying To hunting:  "Galway the better team, penalty miss and score up the other end was big turning point. I know it was a brief cameo but I do like the look of Richie Lawlor he has great potential and that game today will stand to young Conor Foley 19 year old play centre back. Liam og and Hanlon our two best players but Hearne Dok, Rory and Devitt we good as well. How bad is the injuries to Chin and Reck?to lose u centre forward and Centre back just before throw in is a massive blow for any team."
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.

Replying To Viking66:  "Can't remember your last positive post lad and Im posting on this myself a fair while now......"
It was probably after the last positive performance and cant remember myself.

Look we lost by 6

Missed a penalty so let's call it 3

No Chin or Damien Reck which surely would have created 3 points between them

We need to push on now and realise that we are up there with the Galway - 2nd favourites for the All Ireland

Replying To Waltermitty2:  "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."
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

Replying To Finchfurlong996:  "They call me negative! 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!"
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.
