i agree with most of what your saying but to be fair offaly have never managed to get currams mahon kilmartain etc playing together in their best positins at the same time . as for g healion if he was only able to stand at full back or centre back, c fennelly would not run staight through the middle .townman wrote:sam88885a i agree with Kelly not having a clue and yes maybe theres a few players not in the squad that should be, but lets be fair Currams, Conor Mahon, Slevin, Parlon, were there the last two years and we were shocking again laois and kilkenny in 2014, as for Ger Healion great bit of stuff but i think his gone on abit mind you he would be better than most who hurl today. the problem i have with Eamon Kelly is there are players who are getting the run around every game but still get picked the next day, Paddy Murphy had an off day again kerry and was dropped for today, but he was great when he came on and should have started the game.
if we continue with the same backline that have hurl again kerry and kilkenny today we can forget about topping the round robin group, and yes i said yesterday about our midfield today they were like mascotts standing for the throw in. as a kilkennyman said in the stand a traning match between the kilkenny squad would have been better for them, and another said offaly were like a junior B team put together the morning of the game and the sorry thing is i would have to agree,
surely a team like this would stand a chance of competing physically . and if g healion has not got pace enough bring in d shortt .
the problem in my opinion is the 7 softest of that 15 started today .
