Replying To royaldunne: "Which rwo" McGill and McGovern who was down to play corner back for Meath seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2257 - 11/01/2017 21:21:13 1944981 Link
Also Burlingham's kick outs were excellent and I was impressed with the general movement of the players from the kickouts. In the first two games so far,you cannot question the workrate of the players and that is very positive. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 11/01/2017 21:22:01 1944982 Link
Lenihans best game in a Meath Jersey. He's definitely a confidence player. Second half strategy was go blanket with quick ball into lenihan. He scored two beauties just inside the 40 Would love to see Andy get the best out of him. bert09 (Meath) - Posts: 1859 - 11/01/2017 21:31:53 1944985 Link

Replying To ziggy32001: "Yeah decent crowd. Good display especially when you consider we made 15 changes.I can't say that anyone had a bad game,but Lenihan stood out.He scored about 1-4,but his general workrate and movement was top class.I thought we were physical,fit and the workrate was very high right to the end.Don't think DIT scored in the last 20mins either." agree, he got 1-5 and on another night it could have been 1-10 due to a few uncharacteristic wides, class performance.. redser123 (Meath) - Posts: 431 - 11/01/2017 21:37:57 1944988 Link

Which is a great thing. Did Joe get a run out? royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 11/01/2017 21:39:29 1944989 Link
Alan Forde and Sean Tobin played fairly well too. GlasagusOr (Meath) - Posts: 1348 - 11/01/2017 21:40:15 1944990 Link
No, Joe didn't feature. GlasagusOr (Meath) - Posts: 1348 - 11/01/2017 21:42:17 1944992 Link
From watching that game a number of players could make good contributions to the team 1.burninham 2.Douglas 3.Forde 4.Power 5.Bobby O'Brien 6.o couilean 7.Sean Tobin 8.Lenihan Thought Bobby was excelent and could be a good wing half forward if not 11 grahamc9897 (Meath) - Posts: 1178 - 11/01/2017 21:43:02 1944993 Link

Replying To seadog54: "How did McGill preform for DIT?" He did ok. Calm off with a knock. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 11/01/2017 21:48:29 1944995 Link

But we defended very well and in packs.Very hard for DIT to get through the middle.Over the last few years too many teams have run through the middle at ease.We look like we are working hard on stopping that. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 11/01/2017 21:50:18 1944996 Link
Ziggy, what did you think of Stuart Lowndes? He's mobile and gets around the pitch well, but I'd have liked to see him get more involved in the play (look for the ball more). Hopefully, Meath will get five games out of the O'Byrne cup this year. Give management more opportunity to evaluate everybody all the better.

We are blessed with half forwards at the moment, hopefully he and others can fil in other gaps. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 11/01/2017 22:21:08 1945005 Link

Didn't make it there tonight but you're right, teams have been running through us with criminal ease over the last few years, I think it was one of our main problems, the other being our catastrophic second half mental breakdowns. Hopefully McEntee can address those problems in the coming months and set us up for a good championship run, only time will tell ziggy. Htaem (Meath) - Posts: 8657 - 11/01/2017 22:37:22 1945014 Link
