The panel Damian has assembled will be hungery and eager to impress and bring success to the county. I sincerely hope we can make positive steps forward in 2018. It would be more advantageous to integrate new talent into an experienced team instead of other way about. Jim McGuinness built his team on experience with a minority of young and upcoming talent. Rory Gallagher continued this and integrated more talent over the next few seasons. I hope we are developing systems of play, we have been to one dimensional for years. It made us to predictable and easy too beat. If Damian uses the same philosophy of play that he used in this years Minor Final we will whipping boys. Senior football is a big step-up and you need players and management all pulling in one direction. The manager must be respected and we can't have players throwing the dummy out of the park as in the past. Finally, we need the whole county getting behind the team.

Good Enough Panel, bit disappointed that a few of the top players in the county aren't in the panel for a varies amount of different reasons, would be great if Shane and Danny Heavron were there, McGuckin should be there, Sammy Bradley and Keelan Feeny would be great, Niall Loughlain is a huge miss due to traveling, Ryan Bell should be there and Dermot McBride would have been solid in defence, Hopefully a few of them will be added later on. A few of the U-20s will be up for the McKenna cup and the League so if any of them do good enough they could cement their place in the panel after their season is over, hopefully. The McWilliam brothers could get in there including Brian Cassidy, Teirnan Flannagan is not half bad and can get a place there aswell, There is another few who could get there, Calum Browne is a definite if he plays anything like he did for the minors last year. oakleafersir (Derry) - Posts: 596 - 10/12/2017 15:31:25 2064781 Link 0 0 |
I agree that he needs to entice Mc Bride and Mc Kindless into the panel, did he even select Mc Kindless in the first place, same as Heavron, not selected, completely nuts. Both are county player standard. I also believe that Bellaghy's Peter Cassidy should also be there, we need midfielders and he is very mobile, he is carrying Bellaghy. I don't see Paidraig CASSIDY from Sneil as being a county midfielder, not big enough, see him at whf, due to his mobility. Don't mind young players being introduced but Mc Erlain worry's me, his inexperience shone through in the minor final and also by selecting so many young players whilst disregarding decent older players some of whom are county standard. He needed a vastly experienced man in his management team. MickeyMouse (Derry) - Posts: 172 - 23/01/2018 23:07:02 2070242 Link 0 0 |
