Individual mistakes but I have to blame the management. A game plan that doesn't work, same plan as Davy's, too defensive, no support for the fowards. Always trying to play out from the back even with the wind. WEX98 (Wexford) - Posts: 548 - 23/04/2022 19:36:49 2412572 Link 0 |

When looking at the first half of the Limerick-Waterford game, I genuinely think the winners of Leinster wouldn't get out of the group in Munster. beano (Wexford) - Posts: 1503 - 23/04/2022 19:47:14 2412580 Link 0 |

We are just not good enough. Simple as that. Cant expect to be competing at the highest level of intercounty hurling when starting players that dont stand out at club level in what i think is the weakest club championship of all the so called hurling counties.

"When looking at the first half of the Limerick-Waterford game, I genuinely think the winners of Leinster wouldn't get out of the group in Munster". That's a bit unfair on Kilkenny, and maybe Galway, don't you think? You haven't seen Kilkenny play proper Championship hurling yet.

Munster hurling is like a different sport to Leinster at the minute. The skill, , speed, intensity and hurling nous is like a different planet when it comes to championship. Wexford wouldn't win a game in Munster. Past hurler (None) - Posts: 974 - 23/04/2022 20:37:34 2412594 Link 1 |

Well the chances Galway squandered last week would be gobbled up in Munster. As for Kilkenny, given they have been knocked out by Munster teams every year recently, 2019 aside, there is no reason to believe they'd contend for the top two there at present. They aren't the team of old. beano (Wexford) - Posts: 1503 - 23/04/2022 20:49:30 2412601 Link 1 |

New management team but already losing Faith. To set up the first day badly fair enough but to learn nothing and go out with the same plan same half forward line. Absolute madness. Why oh why did Ryan hand pass that last ball, if he had of took the shot and it went wide fair enough but to pass to Pepper was madness. In fairness to pepper he wasnt even expecting the pass. alwaysasub (Wexford) - Posts: 508 - 23/04/2022 20:51:37 2412602 Link 0 |

Davy may have been negative but it's hard to say Darragh Egan has brought anything to Wexford. They seem to have gone backwards.

But at least he gave young lads a chance in the Walsh Cup and championship eh? Never mind getting wiped out in puck-outs across two games, and persisting with no discernible game plan. Predictable subs after it's all said and done too. beano (Wexford) - Posts: 1503 - 23/04/2022 21:21:38 2412615 Link 0 |

One more thing, I noticed that Wexford twitter had the post-game stats posted up and it didn't make pretty viewing from an attacking perspective. I wonder why it was since deleted from twitter? beano (Wexford) - Posts: 1503 - 23/04/2022 21:23:54 2412616 Link 0 |

Their tactics is to take QUICK short sidelines to retain possession, the problem is they use Dee to take them all, even if he's 50 yards away, it's a metaphor for the current strategy.

Another example of a poor game plan. I watched the game last night on TV. It was as bad as seeing it in the park. Charlie and k Foley should not start the next game based on current form. I may sound like a broken record but conceding the Puck outs is a crazy idea. Yesterday it allowed Dublin to play into the corners without been challenged. Dublin game plan 9/10. Wexford game plan.

Part of Dublins plan was to foul Rory every time he got ball, they gambled that we would miss the frees and it worked. We played at part by playing every ball into the corner.

Hard to know where to start after those two games but suffice to say our championship is all but over. Could've/should've won and had the chances to do so but the scoreboard says different. Definition of madness is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Well our management must have earned a Phd in it after the last 3 performances. Conceding puck outs, a half forward line that's not good enough forminor let alone senior,aimless ball hit into the forwards. Our forwards scored 2 points from play last night, Dublin's contributed 12. Too many of them contribute nothing to the scoreboard. They may work hard but that's not enough. Forwards number 1 job is to score. One of our half forwards drove a ball 10 yards wide from 50 yards with all the time in the world. Same guys substituted as last week and some left on the pitch way too long. Could go on and on but Ultimately we're not good enough and I fear we're facing into some tough times ahead.

A few corrections lad after I watched the game back. Too gutted to post anything when I got home yesterday. 1-Not sure I agree about giving up the short puckouts. They actually scored more of their points off turnovers and long balls up into the corners. 2-Agree about Rory he was excellent from open play 3-Dublin definitely didn't win all the dirty ball. We won slightly more of the rucks. 4-we didn't have a poor game overall. We played fairly well. Maybe better than Dublin in open play. And much better than we did against Galway. 5- we need a freetaker who takes frees for his club at least. The 1 Rory dropped short into the Clonard end from around 30 yards out with the wind behind him was the worst miss. He had 2 other really poor missed frees too. Chin missed one that he'd normally get but got all his others. 6- as regards the penalty Fanning couldn't have placed it any better it was an excellent save. 7- thought the ref was good. Overall we lost a close game by hitting too many wides. Especially from easy enough frees. How far off in open play are Casey and Banville from being given a start if Chin can't start? Could we carry either of them? Both are good freetakers. We aren't out yet despite all the doom and gloom merchants. Most of these lads have won in Nowlan Park before. Its not impossible. Finally on positives I thought Ryan had a good game up until the handpass to Pepper when he had loads of time and space and ability to shoot himself. And Kevin Foley was much improved. Both players will be very important if we are to win our last 3 games. Its not over yet. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 16752 - 24/04/2022 11:07:42 2412681 Link 0 |

Team selection a shambles. Same 15, I didn't comment during the week as I fully expected changes but no, I mean the same half forward line, really? tearintom (Wexford) - Posts: 1542 - 24/04/2022 11:11:44 2412682 Link 0 |
