I wonder, in hindsight, did the team management make an error dropping Toher and Burke off the panel when they did? There is a strong chance that both would have been available today and would have been great options off the bench in the second half. It is not as if they were off playing soccer or not training at all. We needed to really up our game in the 2nd half and Toher especially could have provided a springboard for that.

For the first game in well over a year we didn't get a goal. That's what killed us.
We just couldn't make enough clean catches compared to Westmeath. Always needed an extra touch to get control as well.

Hard luck lads. Missed out on the quarter finals by score difference and got relegated. Have to aim for division 1B next season. Cannot afford to stagnate.

management lost it for us today, to slow making decisions. the whole crowd could see where the problems lay but too slow to make them

Disappointing result yesterday.

The fact is the team as a whole did not perform (apart from a few in defence) and we still only lost by 2 and conceded a sloppy goal. Anyone from 8-15 could've been taken off. The dead rubber games in 2B cost us in this round robin. We need to be playing regular games against teams at our level and above. To go down by a score difference of 4 shows how competitive the round robin is.

Pushing for a final in 2A and getting back to Croke Park next year is very achievable. One thing I would say about next year is that if the current management team remains in place they need to bury the hatchet with Toher and Regan.

To many changes - way to many. Supply of ball into the forwards was wrong. Everything yesterday seemed to be so disjointed and that is what made our first touch so bad. Westmeath were up for it and were never going to make it easy. They stopped the Meath lads before they got going but as I said the supply of ball into the forwards was a hit for hope.

Tough result to stomach, gutted for the lads. Westmeath were there for the taking. Poor decisions on the line or slow decisions were telling in the end. Westmeath Full back was a joy to watch.

Major set back for the county to be back in Christy Ring.

Very disappointed for Meath yesterday. To be relegated on score difference is cruel, particularly after the good start to the round robin. Should be very competitive next year in 2A and would hope to see Toher return. But tell me this, will it be back to the transfer market or stick with home grown talent??? That tactic didn't work out for Quaid and Kildare this year. Interested to hear the Meath perspective.

Look i agree with alot said here, i left the ground with many questions including some about the management, but at the end of the day they were just a little bit better. We just need to try an bounce back, it was a good game yesterday

otherlad (Meath) - Posts: 137 - 15/05/2017 14:16:45    1986823

We could question management and point the finger but the bottom line is as beginning uk said earlier from number 8 to 15 didn't perform to what we know they can. First game in as long as I can remember no goal scored. It is what it is now and they must bounce back. The unfortunate thing is this has overshadowed they're league success and there win against kerry. Remember 4 weeks ago there was euphoria over this current set up so let's not be too harsh. They will be back

Cant be anything other than proud of them. Two trophies in 12 months and they've put Meath hurling on the map. Didn't embarrass themselves at any stage and got relegated on the same points as a promoted team. A hairs width between promotion and relegation in that group.
