Replying To Viking66: "You are watching hurling a long time Barney. Its not just today or yesterday we get caught out. Could happen Sunday like a shot." It could be be very surprised. Main interest for me be the winning margin. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 2629 - 13/05/2024 21:35:43 2544605 Link
Replying To BarneyGrant: "It could be be very surprised. Main interest for me be the winning margin." I think that won't matter Barney. If we beat Carlow we will beat Kilkenny. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 12179 - 14/05/2024 08:13:05 2544617 Link

My team for Sunay v Carlow. Fanning S Reck L Ryan E Ryan C Foley D Reck M O'Hanlon C Hearne R Lawlor L Og Mcgovern L Chin C Dunbar S Casey C Mcdonald R O'connor I named Dunbar hesitantly as I'm not sure he has the physicality and tends to drift in and out of games but I'll give him the nod because he has experience and on his day can get a few scores. Casey to Replace Cian Byrne is a no brainer for me. He always has an eye for goal and that could be a valuable asset in this game. No need for changes anywhere else barring injuries.

Replying To Afinestick96: "Statements like that could come back to bite us Viking :D" I do believe it. I'm not saying that's what definitely will happen though. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 12179 - 14/05/2024 09:23:10 2544630 Link

Agree with you on Dunbar thats why Jacko is a big loss for us and long term issue Oisin Foley Afinestick96 (Wexford) - Posts: 160 - 14/05/2024 10:24:53 2544639 Link
Replying To Afinestick96: "Agree with you on Dunbar thats why Jacko is a big loss for us and long term issue Oisin Foley" Jacko isn't the most physical player either. He is big. There is a difference. Jacko is a very skilful hurler, excellent striking off both sides. And good at finding space. They would be his biggest strengths. He's not great at catching or winning dirty ball. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 12179 - 14/05/2024 11:11:41 2544660 Link

I'd rather Dwyer than Dunbar but would agree with the rest of that team for Sunday. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 12179 - 14/05/2024 11:13:10 2544663 Link
Key to winning is having options in forwards the balance between winning ball workrate and scoring thats the dilemma rossy has . Balance was good v Galway. Maybe move lawlor to forwards and kfoley to midfield if fit. think with jippo bsck we don't look as vulnerable through midfield to full back line . Loads of options to move in and out Ie chin foley lawlor Rory it has to be fluid when it's needed. Keep them guessing try create panic in their defence. But be able to revert to defensive structure too when needed. We have enough cm scoring options if okayed right way to keep Carlow honest at the back and nit give them time to bulid and create from the back Formertownie (Wexford) - Posts: 185 - 14/05/2024 11:15:10 2544665 Link

Kevin has been a great servant to Wexford for many years now but to play him would be a mistake imo. To pick players on reputation is old school and does not happen in the modern game. The team that lined out against Galway is the team to go with. Of course changes have to made in the absence of Jacko and Cian. Formertownie who would you drop if Kevin was picked? I presume it would be Dunbar as it was him that replaced Jacko the last day. Magpie2 (Wexford) - Posts: 297 - 14/05/2024 13:51:52 2544725 Link

Replying To Viking66: "Hamstring" I heard he broke a finger. Anyway whatever the injury he won't be playing. Magpie2 (Wexford) - Posts: 297 - 14/05/2024 17:00:04 2544787 Link
