Philip Murphy to play in goal or outfield? WX2017 (Wexford) - Posts: 12 - 10/05/2018 16:25:44 2097908 Link

Ya I suppose a few have been in over the past couple of seasons and maybe just said no..iv only seen him playing In goal for bannow and hes been fairly good anytime I have seen him kickouts are very good also daryl walsh of Adamstown isnt a bad keeper either but our keepers don't seem to be a problem think we are short one or two class forwards a fully fit lyng would be a huge boost and Lee devereux could offer something. oneills09 (Wexford) - Posts: 130 - 10/05/2018 18:25:46 2097950 Link
One day to go till championship time.... this is really the adult Christmas eve . I am not expecting much bar our usual never say die attitude. It would help if we could maintain 15 men on the pitch for a change. All in all if we go in give it 100% I won't complain.

Loch garman abú" I have to agree Wexcore, all we can ask for is 100% effort and application. Any team captained by Daithi surely wont lack for effort. If we get that never-say-die attitude then anything could happen, but it would be fantastic for these lads if they could grind out a result. It is basically a very young team, a lot of them with little or no championship experience. As I said a few months ago, we will need to have patience and give them time to mature and gel as a team. Paul inherited a squad very much in transition but I believe training and preparation has gone well , so here's hoping !! Anyway, best of luck to the lads tomorrow, with the old style "retro" jersies lets hope we have a retro Wexford performance. Here's hoping . . . . . yelowbelly (Wexford) - Posts: 409 - 11/05/2018 09:52:18 2098076 Link

Loch garman abú" Id like to think we'd set our expectations higher than giving it 100%, we should expect 100% from all our teams. Having seen them a bit in the league Id like to see improvement mostly, they are a relatively young bunch and need time. Id also like to see encouragement from the sideline, wasn't always evident in the league. Good luck to all, Laois are poor so we are not without a chance. dumptruck1 (Wexford) - Posts: 206 - 11/05/2018 13:44:52 2098762 Link
McLoughlin has played a blinder in managing to have us all hoping for a team which just tries hard. I think that this must be the least optimistic Wexford football fans have been going into a championship in about 25 years? Hoping not to get hammered by a team coming out of Division 4. I hope the lads can play well and be satisfied with their performance. Laois were in Division 4 for good reason and we should really be looking to win or lose by up to two points. Any bigger loss than that will be a big failure in my opinion. Yes, we have some new players. Some experienced players were cast aside don't forget. That panel still has Brosnan, Waters, three Rossiters, two Malones, Carty, Furlong, Shanley and Curtis. Anything worse than a two point loss will be a failure in my opinion. This manager has lowered expectation to an unacceptable level I think. We are not Wicklow or Waterford lads (no offence to them). We are better than we have seen so far this year. icehonesty (Wexford) - Posts: 2553 - 11/05/2018 17:43:31 2099467 Link

Where are some of the young lads who featured in the league, I see there not even in the panel? Have management decided not to play any under 20 players? logger (Wexford) - Posts: 296 - 11/05/2018 19:12:22 2099725 Link
Noticed only 3 of the starting 15 named came from good counsel (furlong,brosnan,Curtis). Swaine in goal of horeswood is originally from ferns I think. Wexford district looks to be the backbone of the team at the moment. bostonredsox (Wexford) - Posts: 4368 - 12/05/2018 00:17:09 2099767 Link
Heart broken after that ... so proud of that team but jesus some very very questionable calls.. losing jim Rossiter was huge had we got him I don't think Kingston would have had such an impact. Swaine amazing saves Glenn malone his energy was incredible Tubrid- hoping this is the start of him fulfilling the undoubted potential he has. wexcore (Wexford) - Posts: 740 - 12/05/2018 21:49:19 2099894 Link
Cracking game of football terrible support from the Wexford people but you know what those who were there can come away proud of our team. Gave it their all and played football the way it should be played hurlorhurley (Wexford) - Posts: 1660 - 12/05/2018 23:40:21 2099904 Link
Decent game of football, we didn't have anyone able to mark Kingston, he ran the show in the second half. We very naive at times and Midfield totally anonymous in the second half, no way we should of thrown away a 10 point lead to Laois like we did, they not exactly Dublin or one of the top teams.

was working,could not make it.wont make hurling next week either. disappointing result,the few supporters who were in agree that jim rossiter a big loss and we had nobody to mark kingston. disappointing concede a 10 point lead. decent qualifier draw and can have a decent summer possibly? perfect10 (Wexford) - Posts: 3929 - 13/05/2018 10:27:06 2099929 Link
I have to agree with some of the comments here. A good game of football but a heartbreaking way to lose. As everyone says, Jim Rossiter was a huge loss but surely we should have "doubled up" on Kingston in the second half when he was dictating the game. The lads played great football in the first half, breaking at speed and kicking some lovely scores. Laois main attacking threat stemmed from Attride at wing back, his running caused problems and he wasn't tracked a few times. It was obvious that Laois would up their game in the second half, unfortunately we didn't seem to have a solution for about 25 minutes. In fairness, the lads finished strongly, and even after Laois were " given" the penalty they didn't drop the heads. Conor Swaine really surprised me, some brilliant saves and confident handling. A couple of kick-outs went askew in the second half but that was at a time when the whole team were struggling. The Laois start to extra time caught us cold, that 1 - 2 that they scored was the difference at the end. I was great to see the pride & passion back in the team, it was a pity there were so few wexford supporters there to witness it. yelowbelly (Wexford) - Posts: 409 - 13/05/2018 12:11:00 2099955 Link
somebody made a good point last night. the round robin in leinster and munster hurling is going to hurt attendences across the board. people are not going to shell out 60-70-80 quid 4 times,for a round robin. unfortunately,our footballers are another casualty of a society where people have other interests beyond gaa,be they ed sheerin or leinster rugby,or whatever. 20-30 years ago,there was not much to do in rural ireland other than gaa.as bob dylan said,times they are a changin. perfect10 (Wexford) - Posts: 3929 - 13/05/2018 12:51:50 2099967 Link

Yes, the times are a changin, but that won't stop our supporters turning out in their thousands when we have the round robin hurling games in the Park. You have some valid, legitimate reasons for falling attendances there perfect10, but that still doesn't excuse the paltry support the lads received last night. yelowbelly (Wexford) - Posts: 409 - 13/05/2018 13:39:46 2099978 Link

It's not €60/80 for a ticket. On the gaa website, tickets for next weekend are €20 (down to €5 with concessions) for the 2 Leinster round robins, and a max of €25 in the 2 Munster games. That's not bad value at all. extranjero (Wexford) - Posts: 375 - 13/05/2018 13:46:05 2099980 Link
Don't understand all the comments on the small crowd unfortunately that's status quo for the footballers at this stage. Great game for a neutral but disappointing how we completely ran out of the steam in the 2nd half. Agree with most of the analysis here on the game, I think it was the correct decision to take the point from the penalty, all we had to do we see out 1 phase of play following this but still laois managed to create an opening. bostonredsox (Wexford) - Posts: 4368 - 13/05/2018 14:47:02 2099996 Link
I don't know if it was the correct call for the penalty . When you look at it, we were suffering a 10 point turn around in the second half, and calling out for any chance to kill the game. Surely you go for goal when the chance presents itself? Even in the 50-50 chance the keeper has to save it, you'd expect a foul to made immediately to halt any counter.
