i have to agree with with most of your post and after yesterday I’m not looking forward to the league match's.kinnittyman wrote: 1) David King and Chris McDonald both struggled either side of David Kenny
2) Kevin Brady is a mile away from an inter-county centre back
3) We gave away 0-03 from losing our own short puck outs.
4) Shane Dooley can get some brilliant scores
5) Brian Carroll's workrate needs to up 50%
The second half was very poor from Offaly but in fairness to the players on the field our tactics were mad and worst still we stuck to them for the whole second half.
Shane Dooley work hard at centre forward but we need him closer to goals if we were going to win yesterday.
Our half forward line didn't win any balls yesterday in the frist half or the second. The two Carroll's were hurler off the pitch by their men. I can't remember them winning one of the Offaly puck-out in the whole match but again in fairness to the two lads they keep at it for the whole match and keep trying. The management should have moved them if for nothing else just to give them a rest. Dooley was doing well on the Wexford Centre back but 5 mins before half time Wexford brought on a sub, Moved the centre back to Full Back and Moved Number 5 to centre back and Offaly scored only 5 point for the rest of the match.
The second half was James Demspey pucking the ball out one of the Wexford midfielder or half back winning it and sending it back in on top of the Offaly full back line. No Back line will hold up against that pressure.
i would love to see the stats for the match yesterday. i think the stats for puck out won by Offaly would have being a lower than 10%.
