Get this wrong and we will be relegated next year. Carlow and Antrim will be targeting wexford at home as the game to separate them. We are in transition, need an experienced inter county manager to come in with Rossiter as his number 2.

Said on Rte sports news this morning that it was down to 2 for the Wexford manager. They named them as Dereck Mcgrath and Keith Rositter.
They said that the new
manager would be announced before the county final on Sunday.
Looks like there was a leak from the county board to Rte.

Our return from these 2 fixtures was abysmal under Egan. 1 point from 4 attempts. And the Board should be making every effort to get us fickle fans to attend both in great numbers! Antrim and Carlow are games that we need to keep our players feet on the ground for. I still think apart from under Davy our lads have struggled to do that.

Both Dublin and Galway feel they have Wexford's number at the moment and Dublin are just as good as Wexford, Galway a bit better in my opinion.
I don't care what anyone tells me, Wexford should be losing no game in Wexford Park and supporters should never justify such a loss. Also going to away games to beat Carlow and Antrim because they are better hurlers than them. Leaving lesser teams in games and letting teams like Westmeath overturn a 16 point deficit needs to be completely unacceptable standard wise.

Replying To Viking66: "They are trying to put a little pressure on Keith Rossiter to take the job." How would releasing a statement by the county board to our national broadcaster stating that there was two in the race for the managers job be putting pressure on Keith Rositter to take the job?
Sorry viking, maybe I'm missing something but I can't work your reply out. Surely the board will make the decision. Both Mcgrath and Rossi obviously applied for the gig and whichever of them the cb consider to be the best for Wexford hurling will bo appointed.

Replying To Viking66: "They are trying to put a little pressure on Keith Rossiter to take the job." That's what it looks like. I'd be stunned, given his very average record with the Harriers, if there was any genuine interest in giving McGrath the gig.

We should be aiming to win every championship game we play.

I believe Keith Rossiter has been offered the job but hasn't said yes yet. I'm a lad living up a lane in the ####hole of nowhere so I could be wrong all the same; )

I don't think Keith Rossiter actually applied for the job. But I do think we need to get behind whoever is appointed, regardless of their experience etc. I'm sure it's not an easy gig for anyone who gets it, so let's try be positive going forward if it's Rossiter or McGrath or whoever.

I don't think he did either. Nor Skippy.

To be fair I think performances outside of leinster, and recent qualifications suggest wexford are still ahead of Dublin.
Tí be fair Dublin are always good money for a result against us but on balance we still have better players.
We normally get a result against kilkenny, but we'll be all at home when they're contesting the all Ireland final more often than not

If our heads are right we'll beat them every day.

Replying To Viking66: "I don't think he did either. Nor Skippy." So if he didn't even apply for the job why is it being reported that he is one of the favourites to get it…has he even been interviewed? This plus the fact that he has apparently been offered the job but hasn't accepted yet doesn't look great. Seems like there was a shortage of quality applicants and Rossiter doesn't want it.

Former Waterford manager Derek McGrath has been linked with the race for the vacant Wexford position.
McGrath is understood to be one of the figures under consideration for the job along with former Wexford inter-county hurler and U20 hurling manager Keith Rossiter to fill the position vacated following the decision of the county board not to extend the term of Darragh Egan.
Rossiter was considered the favourite for the role last week but it has since emerged that McGrath is now very much in the running to return to inter-county management.
The schoolteacher has spoken with members of the special committee set up by the county board following last Sunday's county senior hurling semi-finals.
McGrath has been involved in the Wexford club scene over the past two seasons having being coach to Lee Chin's Faythe Harriers, a factor that saw him come very much into contention having helped the club avoid relegation over his term as coach.
However, Oulart-the-Ballagh clubman Rossiter has many admirers in the county, coupled with the fact there is much pressure to have a Wexford man appointed to the helm of senior hurling affairs.
However, McGrath is now looked upon as a serious contender giving his inter-county management experience with Waterford, while more recently being involved with Laois minors.
In contrast, Rossiter has yet to sample the pressure which such a position brings.
Wexford are striving to have a manager in place and it is hoped that an announcement could be possible before Sunday's county senior hurling final.

Very true now I'm living in waterford myself and waterford be my second team and I would have gone to games when mcgrath was manager and it was a painful watch at times especially the way they set up in the forwards,, on the other side of the coin when he was waterford manager at the start he brought in a good few young players and did well with them, would he work well with our u-20 players that will be coming into the panel and give them the chance who knows it's all if's and but's at the moment..
