He has plenty of time to find a corner back and settle him in O Byrne Cup, McEntee wasted in there, we will need a battler like him out the field as the middle is looking a bit shaky at present don't worry to much about getting forward, need someone who can do his primary job-defend. seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2142 - 30/11/2015 19:11:22 1810680 Link 0 |
I am with smallhouse on this one. I don't like the idea of McEntee at corner back at all. Its not just that he wasted there, I just don't think he is a good enough corner back at inter-county level. anfearbeag (Meath) - Posts: 1134 - 01/12/2015 11:52:16 1810762 Link 0 |
anfearbeag- I would agree with you and add that we are also very short off half backs who can defend. browncows (Meath) - Posts: 2342 - 01/12/2015 12:19:47 1810767 Link 0 |

Most futile debate ever. Obvious that mcentee is not a defender. He is a top class club forward/midfielder with huge potential to become one of the mainstays of the meath team. To play him there would be absolutely no sense. To be honest the thread has not really developed or put forward any legitimate cases for possible defenders and unless MOD can find some, meath will have the same issues in 2016 as in his tenure to date.

yes people seem to be reluctant to pick their defence.. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 01/12/2015 14:23:46 1810826 Link 0 |
I'll just throw in the observation that if a team doesn't have a proper workable defensive plan, any full back line is going to be destroyed. And we don't have a proper workable defensive plan. anfearbeag (Meath) - Posts: 1134 - 01/12/2015 19:24:48 1810925 Link 0 |
Future isnt too good if were only mentioning 4/5 players that could play here! Is there not any young talent coming true that could push the regulars DMman (Meath) - Posts: 17 - 03/12/2015 14:27:48 1811240 Link 0 |

I am going to be controversial just a little. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 04/12/2015 14:46:46 1811442 Link 0 |
I wouldn't disagree too much with that Royaldunne. While he was never going to be game-changer, Chris O'Connor was a decent player who was probably a bit hard done by being dropped when he was. He didn't do too much wrong in a Meath jersey. I would have no issue with him being given another shot. anfearbeag (Meath) - Posts: 1134 - 04/12/2015 16:08:31 1811463 Link 0 |

RD i'd agree with you on Chris O'Connor being brought back in... god shout out... nothing controversial in suggesting him brian (Meath) - Posts: 1954 - 04/12/2015 19:27:33 1811480 Link 0 |
Don' think it would be much of a risk to bring in O Connor, would also bring in a bit of experience seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2142 - 04/12/2015 20:31:06 1811493 Link 0 |
Im glad to see my shout out for Chris O'Connor has got broad approval, i don't think been dropped means no return, he was excellent for the juniors last term is consistently one of bracks best players, now as was said he is not a game changer or the most flamboyant player, but he is solid and is a good defender who does the basics right, i also agree with ziggy in saying he has experience and could be a good role model to the younger lads. Also there is a bit of aggression in him, nothing ott but he can give and take , something i think we missing in back line. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 05/12/2015 17:45:13 1811584 Link 0 |

Gavin McGowan has to be brought in to CB allowing Keogan to drop back to CB. Tones (Meath) - Posts: 17 - 06/12/2015 21:35:03 1811733 Link 0 |
