Cant remember the last time we lost by 19 points or 16 points though. Even when Tipp scored 5 goals against us in the 2017 League semifinal we only lost by 11 points. Although later that summer we reached our 1st Leinster final in a good few years. Hope that's a happy omen! We have work to do. And 3 weeks to do it. That's the bottom line.

We had good and bad days under Davy like we have so far with Darragh, weather its 19, 16 or 11 of a difference doesn't matter too much in the general scheme of things, all I'm worried about now is Galway on Easter weekend.

Lee was a worry for me tbh. Looked like he was restricted in his movement and was limping towards the end. After the game he spent time on the ground with the physio. As you say only fit for 15 mins in the first place and in close to goal at that. Northcountyball (Wexford) - Posts: 17 - 27/03/2022 21:16:28 2407570 Link 0 |

Well that was chastening. I thought Waterford might do a job on you but not by that much. There's some limitations in the Egan gameplan. People were talking about him as being some sort of genius during the week. The guy has been spanked by Limerick as part of the Tipp backroom team for the last few years. bloodyban (Limerick) - Posts: 1710 - 27/03/2022 21:17:07 2407571 Link 0 |

The big result of the weekend was the minor result yesterday. Being honest this current senior team are never going to win a national title. Nowhere near good enough sadly. I've said this before, until we start producing underage teams that are seriously competing for All Ireland championship's, were never winning another All Ireland. This attitude of 'all we need is one or two' is mediocre bullshit. The current minor team looks pretty strong (should have beaten Dublin by at least 10 points from what I hear) and I hear the U21s are very strong also. Are they good enough to win an All Ireland, I dunno, but that should be the standard within the fanbase and county board not just have they a shot at Leinster. Everyone needs to think bigger IMO. As my Dad said, Wexford think they can win while serious teams know they'll win. Finchfurlong996 (Wexford) - Posts: 255 - 27/03/2022 21:19:22 2407573 Link 1 |

Yes chastening experience today but been totally blunt after you claimed Flanagan didn't deserve a red in last years Munster Final for a hurl to the neck I can't take you seriously.

Believe it or not no. The best team lost that day. We left it behind us and I thought we'd come back better. Today reminded me of kilkenny in 07. Thought we were in with a good shout and were so off the pace the build up seems kind of silly.. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3836 - 27/03/2022 21:57:42 2407599 Link 0 |

Nothing just stating why I don't worry about that poster says, read earlier posts I've already given my views on today.

Sometimes you need to take the beating, realise its the league and completely irrelevant and look ahead. I've had this word whataboutery thrown at me on this forum which I find amusing but wexford were miles off today which I feel isn't a true reflection and I'd hold tight for another few weeks before making any assessment. That's the time for a performance like that not in 3 weeks time. All this stuff lately is meaningless. Happens year after year.

Better off finding out that some of the players being touted during the league are not ready now rather than in three weeks time. That's tough to accept if you went up and paid to get in but hopefully it may mean that the next 20euro won't be a waste

Lads that was an abject performance yesterday . Had the feeling of the Kilkenny defeat in 2015. I said before the game I was worried about the half forward line and that came to be the case . Why was Oisin Foley and Jack O Connor not starting ? There's only 3 weeks to championship and we need to be finding our best 15 and get them used to playing with each other . Pepper starting was questionable also he's only a leaving cert and extremely light for this level yet . He is a good prospect but we threw him in at the deep end yesterday . Donohoe was miles off his man yesterday . Flood has to start. Chin is also a huge worry . It's clear that his knee problem is being managed and he's going into championship with just 15 minutes hurling behind him . We are going to need a huge reaction to pick things up before Galway . Let's hope for a similar response like we seen in the Limerick game Afinestick (Wexford) - Posts: 999 - 28/03/2022 09:03:56 2407619 Link 0 |

Looked like we were trying to lose! Waterford looked class, but we made them look good with our tactics and team selection! LarryOBrother (Wexford) - Posts: 412 - 28/03/2022 09:25:05 2407625 Link 0 |

I know only too well how a player feels this morning, I had it more times than I care to remember. So first things first, for me yesterday was "one of those days". StoreysTash (Wexford) - Posts: 1897 - 28/03/2022 09:37:44 2407629 Link 0 |

Must say I've gone from being optimistic about the championship to now being very worried our year could be over after first 2 games. Over reaction? Maybe but Yesterday was the first time we had to play a team who brought a championship pace to proceedings and we were in trouble all over the pitch. That's not a good sign 3 weeks out. I hope I'm wrong but there's loads of issues to be sorted out… corner back, centre back, midfield, half forward line, chin's fitness and free taking spring to mind

Horrible day at the office yesterday Yellow (Wexford) - Posts: 589 - 28/03/2022 10:21:45 2407648 Link 0 |

Exactly my feeling. Halfback line and half forward line likely to be very different come championship and the middle 3rd is where any game is won or lost these days. Hope your clubman Shane is back for some of the games too. I think he would be our best man for Dessie Hutchinson if we meet them again in the All Ireland series . Certainly Simon wasnt the man for him although he had to face him 2 on 1 alot of the time as our half forwards weren't tracking back. Tbh we looked leggy all over the pitch and the players and management looked relaxed after the game. It was like they weren't too bothered about losing that game and tbh neither am I.

Waterford were superior in every line. They simply just blew us away. Our backs were the worst I've seen for years. Flood should have been in there from the start. I think most of the team will have to take a close look at themselves in the mirror this morning. Rory was snuffed out throughout the game and constantly ran into roadblocks. Looks like Chin has a way to go before he's back to full fitness. The only lads that played fairly well were Dee and Reck. What about our championship prospects? Not good if you base it on yesterday's gutless display but really what they can do and i believe they will is forget about that game and hammer out the errors that cropped up time and time again. I honestly believe that we will see a different Wexford against Galway and in the games to follow. We are Wexford and we simply can't lie down and die.
