Replying To redser123: "I'm afraid I'm not a fan, he offered no scoring threat against a pathetic enough Derry team, i think we all know once Newman returns to full fitness that 14 Jersey is his, I have nothing against Brian personally but I just don't think he's up to intercounty standard" you may not be a fan,but he played well today.. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 12/02/2017 22:01:15 1955714 Link
Replying To nobull456: "Yes i was at the game. i was surprised Sheridan was not taken off earlier.. I have no club loyalty !!" Quick question does anyone else think Brian should have been taken off earlier ? grahamc9897 (Meath) - Posts: 1174 - 12/02/2017 22:01:44 1955716 Link
Replying To ziggy32001: "yeah agree with this,maybe I'm wrong,but I thought Sheridan did everything you want from a full forward.Was aggressive when he had to be,won alot of clean ball,worked hard to get out in front of his man and set up a lot of scores.Just because he doesn't get 1-4 doesn't mean he had a bad game. Some of the comments about Sheridan,McEntee is just wrong and disappointing,we won by 15 points.." If some people don't see the forwards score 1-7 every game they think they're no good. But onto our next game, we really need to win and I think we will. I only expect one or two changes with one of them being Biggy coming back into the team.

What exactly did he do wrong ? grahamc9897 (Meath) - Posts: 1174 - 12/02/2017 22:07:02 1955724 Link

Sometimes i think agendas or club loyalty can get in the way of objectivity. nobull456 (Meath) - Posts: 1226 - 12/02/2017 22:12:44 1955733 Link
He was better than the last day and better than Lenihan today, but still very limited. There were times today he dropped deep (around midfield area) so we didn't always have a target man inside to kick ball into. Granted that was in the first half (playing into a strong wind) but still, I think he should have stayed in a more forward position to give others in possession the option. I like Alan Forde's style of play, but he does need to channel his aggression in the right way and at all times. Wasn't Andy shouting at him not to get involved in afters, just before he goes and gets a second yellow (albeit for nothing much). But when you get a reputation, you do not get any goodwill from refs. Some other players might/would. GlasagusOr (Meath) - Posts: 1348 - 12/02/2017 22:16:23 1955735 Link

Very happy with the managers substitutions today. bert09 (Meath) - Posts: 1792 - 12/02/2017 22:27:39 1955748 Link
Replying To browncows: "Thought that the ball played into him when he was double marked was terrible - what one would expect in junior match." Congrats on the result today, however I am not sure what the Meath management can take out of it as my own county was absolutely pathetic. We brought nothing to the game apart from physicality. Derry are in a very bad place and I can say it will be ourselves and Down who will be relegated. The win will give your guys confidence to kick on for the rest of the campaign.

Replying To bert09: "Taken off and replaced with who?" Sean Tobin offers more. He's certainly more mobile (helps to link up the play) and also more likely to kick a score from play or a free. GlasagusOr (Meath) - Posts: 1348 - 12/02/2017 22:29:36 1955752 Link

Replying To grahamc9897: "OK so who would you have played at 14 today? What exactly did he do wrong ?" I don't understand why fiachra ward isn't playing there, don't think he's injured.. Sheridan is just keeping mickey Newman's jersey warm, our best full forward line is 13. McMahon 14. Newman 15. Lenihan redser123 (Meath) - Posts: 403 - 12/02/2017 22:30:59 1955754 Link

Replying To ziggy32001: "grow up" We just want what's best for this Meath team, Kildare who are a half decent team destroyed him, Sheridan shouldn't be near this Meath team, I think fiachra ward is a much better player, Sean Tobin too, but mickey Newman is the number 1 option once he's fit, that's 3 better full forwards redser123 (Meath) - Posts: 403 - 12/02/2017 22:47:43 1955764 Link
