That is shocking. Body language tells its own story Formertownie (Wexford) - Posts: 340 - 08/02/2025 17:53:01 2590086 Link
I had to turn that off, anyone here who thinks we won't be involved in a scrap to go down to Joe McDonagh is dillusional. WEXILE (Wexford) - Posts: 320 - 08/02/2025 18:04:19 2590087 Link
Puck-outs terrible Working the ball out from the back has been terrible Way too many mistakes in possession Forwards being cleaned out of it in terms of winning primary possession Terrible shooting, both in terms of decision-making and accuracy Not tracking runners, looks like it's 18 vs 12 Seems like there's little to no game-plan, we can't win ball to save our lives and yet we've been pumping way too many long balls in We were missing a good few in last year's league yet we played a lot better than this Yes, there are some playing who aren't inter-county calibre but for me the question really isn't whether we've too many players who aren't good enough, the real question is why they are under-performing across the board They should be capable of a lot better than this, that's the real issue as to why they haven't been performing ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 398 - 08/02/2025 18:14:59 2590088 Link
Replying To Formertownie: "That is shocking. Body language tells its own story" Whatever about the score where is the intensity... Kilkenny are absolutely up for this. Injuries can only excuse so much... OK, go out and get a hiding.. But for God's sake don't just roll over and have your belly tickled. 4 scores from frees... As for body language.. Is there trouble in the camp or have lads just given up? Inaroundthehouse (Wicklow) - Posts: 13 - 08/02/2025 18:15:38 2590089 Link

No game plan, no first touch, no work ethic and no interest in wanting to be out there. It's like stepping back in time to 2023, pathetic. OpenStandWall (Wexford) - Posts: 207 - 08/02/2025 18:24:22 2590092 Link
We can say what we like and blame whoever you like . Ultimately if a player crosses that white line with the purple and gold jersey you got to at least be trying and giving 100% . If for nothing else but yiur own pride. Can't play like that and expect to turn it around come championship . U have to consistently give your best .

Very poor first half, picked it up a lot in the second half. Can't be ignored how bad we were in the first half though. Thought McGuckian, Foley and Lawlor were very good and Hearne is probably our best player now. No presence up front really and hard to see how much we'll improve with Chin etc. back in. That's not a great KK team and won pulling up. beano (Wexford) - Posts: 1469 - 08/02/2025 19:07:27 2590103 Link
Oh forgot to say, we have no centre back. Reck is defintely not the answer beano (Wexford) - Posts: 1469 - 08/02/2025 19:08:59 2590104 Link
I thought that was going to be a massacre but in fairness to the lads they showed a lot of fight in the second half. Need to get our main lads back ASAP ChinCanHurl (Wexford) - Posts: 300 - 08/02/2025 19:14:14 2590106 Link
That was a much improved display in second half. Well done lads for showing us that there's still pride in the jersey. Let's hope they can build on that second half performance and maybe salvage something from this league Does anyone have a list or record of the wexford scorers ? I can't recall any of our starting forwards scoring from play Yellaman (Wexford) - Posts: 149 - 08/02/2025 19:16:07 2590107 Link

I don't know if KK won pulling up, they usually go for the jugular and Lyng only brought on subs after 55 minutes, I don't think they're world-beaters, it's just that we were abysmal in the first half. They don't really seem like they have a lot coming through either At least we showed some signs of life in the second half, you'd wonder how things would've gone in the game had we shown up in the first half The team we had out at the start of the second half was about as young and inexperienced as a team can be, think that's the encouraging aspect, at least the likes of Patsy Molloy, Conor Foley, Eoin Ryan, Richie Lawlor, Simon Roche, and Jack Redmond showed something in the second half ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 398 - 08/02/2025 19:24:12 2590109 Link

Replying To beano: "Oh forgot to say, we have no centre back. Reck is defintely not the answer" He's never been a 6. He was appalling today, even in the second half when most lifted their game a bit. That first half had vibes off that Clare league game a couple of seasons back. At least showed a bit of spirit in second half but game was over as a contest after about 20 mins. Serious question marks about our organisation at the back, no effort at all to play as a unit. Puckouts rubbish, high loopy efforts. I thought Eoin Ryan was very good throughout and Cian Molloy was a big improvement when he came on. Hearne was decent enough. That was it really, some lads improved in second from a no show in first but that's not good enough. Age old problems, S&C nowhere near KK level. Decision making on the ball from lads on county panels for years incredibly poor. Few lads with a horrible habit of trying to control the ball on the stick first time rather than taking a whack on the hand and grabbing it first time.

The only way it could be way off would be if lads on the panel don't do gym work when they are given gym programs. I can't get my head around it! Lads can't get taller but they can definitely get stronger. Past hurler (None) - Posts: 873 - 08/02/2025 21:12:46 2590135 Link

Lads I never want to stick the boot in but you are talking about the lads to come back like they are your saviours. These players have struggled time and again to beat Dublin and have lost to Antrim and Westmeath. Its not like Limerick waiting for Cian Lynch and 5 others to come back, only Chin would get into the Limerick panel. The game has not changed in the past 30-40 years. As a young player, you need to stand up and be a man and take the chance you get when you get it. In the first half today, nobody stood up for Wexford. Second to every ball, wrong options taken. Wexford lack any goal threat, sweepers everywhere in Wexford club hurling at underage are killing the one-one-one battle and coaching in defending without giving away frees and also goal threat and it is not a surprise that the county squad lack goal scorers. I fear for Wexford based on the league so far and reality is no offense intended its closer to Joe McDonagh than winning Leinster where I would put Wexford (and Dublin minus Eoghan), sorry but to me that is the reality of where Wexford are at. I hope I am proven wrong and have humble pie to be eaten. One of us will scrape in to 3rd but I think Offaly and Antrim will be liking what they see.
