Replying To Wexfordgaa:  "Would Jack o Conner be worth a shout at full forward with the likes of cian byrne breaking off him who has an eye for goal or Rory. He's not the best catcher of the ball but the odd time he does he would be hard to stop so close to goal.

Any word on the appeal for Rory o conner"
1 game ban

Replying To Doylerwex:  "He might be but route one isn't really working for us at the minute and is generally easy to defend against in the modern game.

I really think the running game is when we're at our best.

If you look back at our best performances last year and in Egan's time it's all off the shoulder stuff and working the ball.

Trying to do route one against Dublin, Kilkenny second half and Clare is what cost us last year."
Absolutely

Absolutely. And cost us the game in Corrigan Park when we reverted to it in the 2nd half.

I knew that too, and I even saw him after the match in Wexford Park last Saturday.

Just wasn't saying it here, to see how far the rumours and Chinese whispers would fly before somebody killed them off! :D

If we get hammered again Sunday I would not rule him out being in the 26 for the KK game

Once again we have the doom and gloom merchants spinning yarns.
Hopefully Lee is fighting fit and will be back playing soon. By God we need him badly.

My apologies lads I was only going by what I heard on the smaller fish podcast and was also said on the off the ball hurling pod.

Ah I wouldn't worry about it. Rumours are always around at this time of year and we all get swept up sometimes

Good opportunity for Tucker kinsella to make his mark at this level. Been in and around the panel for a while now. Conal Flood named to start, to be honest I thought his ship had sailed at this level. Lots of ability anyway.

Cahill tends to take the league very seriously as seen in Galway. This could be another tough day for us I fear.

Is Eoin Whelan out injured or just out of favour?

Team named

Fanning
E Ryan
Donohue
Murphy
Mcguckian
C Foley
R Lawlor
Hearne
David Codd
Darren Codd
Jack Redmond
Tucker
Byrne
Casey
Flood

Dwyer and Jacko on the bench.

Missing Rory and Shane Reck as well as the rest.

I like the look of the forwards a little better than the last day and good to see the other Codd getting a run.

Be interesting to see what way we set up.

I think that is one if the poorest wexford teams, I seen in years. Especially at full back and number 4 and that set of forward is joe mcdonadh standard unfortunately. I would be worried we are going to take another big beating. Positives is apart from 2 or 3, the bench looks strong enough. Good look to the lads anyway

Yes nice to see a Taghmon man on the team even if he plays for another club!
Hopefully the lads first touch will be way better, and they play harder, like they actually want to win the game.
Looking forward to our first spin away of the year!

Not sure. Daragh Kehoe and Michael Dundon would be 2 others I'd like to see also, see can they make the step up. As Hunting said in his post we are selecting several lads who have consistently shown they aren't good enough. They aren't even young fellas any more. I get that you need some experience in the team, but if the experienced lads picked weren't good enough last year, or the year before, or the year before that, and they have just built up a bank of experiencing poor performances, then are they really the players you'd want our younger lads looking up to and emulating on the pitch?

Tough times ahead i'm afraid. Rory was'nt great last Saturday but he is always capable of doing something special. Dalton got a two match suspension. Didn't hear what Rory got.
Looks like we are in for another hammering tomorrow. No easy games in the weeks ahead, so all we can hope for is that our injured players make a speedy recovery. If not we are odds on to make the dreaded drop.
Too many players for the trip to Tipp
Who are simply not up to intercounty standard.
Maybe we will see some improvement as the championship draws closer but you would want to be a super optimist to think that.

Mad odds bearing in mind the Tipp team named.
