Replying To TerribleFootwork: "Last year there was 50 in training and cut to 35-40 between the league and Walsh Cup so probably same again, Kilkenny doing something similar from what I'm hearing." Never a nice job for a manager to cull, but Egan did give a lot of lads chances. Anyone any info on who was let go? Past hurler (None) - Posts: 725 - 30/01/2023 15:01:34 2455297 Link

All the panels probably following the same formula that way. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 11848 - 30/01/2023 16:15:38 2455321 Link
Replying To Afinestick: "Any word on who has made the final panel? Hopefully the young lads who haven't made it take what they've learned and improve again this year" For sure. Its all about experience and desire. Anyone who got cut has every incentive to follow any nutrition and S and C programmes they get given, and give the club championships a right good lash later in the year.

My understanding is the "extended panel" is not cut completely. They still have nutrition and training plans. If we hit a few bumps and injuries there's always the possibility of them being called back in. It's great for the club championships too. To be honest on what I've seen it wouldn't have been an easy job to whittle it down. I'd rather have seen them get a couple of group games in the league to be honest. For now I think carty, Lawlor and Clancy are good additions. James Lawlor is nailed on for me. Banville still has something to offer. Looking back at 2019 for example, we were right there with the best when chin wasn't missing frees. I think paudie is obviously a huge loss, and Morris will be really difficult to replace. We have options now though. It will be interesting to see how much the fringe lads can improve over the next two months. I believe leinster is there for us if we get things right. Beyond that, I'm not sure where we stand, and I don't think anyone can touch limerick. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 2661 - 30/01/2023 18:17:29 2455371 Link

Think we need to get as much game time into the newer lads as possible so they might make a difference come championship if they are called on to start or come on. On the subject of coming on have you noticed how our subs seem to take a while to get to the pace of the game even as regards basic stickwork like getting the ball up and passing. Is it not permitted for subs to warm up with a ball? Passing it to eachother etc? Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 11848 - 31/01/2023 10:09:53 2455442 Link

Replying To Yellow: "Id go with a strong team vs Galway with an experiment in each line- nice to get points on the board and win at home Lalor S Reck Ryan AJ Redmond Scallan Reck Hanlon Flood Dee R Lalor Chin O Foley Dunbar Mac C Hearne" I would give Ian Carty a chance wing back instead of O Hanlon. Just to see could he handle Galway's wing forwards. Past hurler (None) - Posts: 725 - 31/01/2023 12:56:19 2455506 Link
Replying To Yellow: "Id go with a strong team vs Galway - nice to get points on the board and win at home Lalor S Reck Ryan Devitt Scallan Reck Hanlon Mc Guckian Dee R Lalor Chin O Foley Dunbar Mac Pepper" Not sure Oisin Foley is match fit yet. I'd keep with some more of the newer lads- Lawlor S Reck, Ryan, Devitt Carty, D Reck, MOH Mcguckin, Dee R Lawlor, Chin if fit Banville if not, Flood Dwyer, Mac, Dunbar Give some of Fanning, Jacko, Hearne, Donohue, Joe OC, Pepper, Banville if not starting, Higgins, Clarke, Conor Foley, Tucker, Clancy, the 2 Murphys, Scallan, Conor Firman places on the bench in around that order of priority depending if they are fit to play a League game against Galway. Mogie reckoned in his interview the Clare game would be when he would be back up to speed. Not sure when O Foley is back ready to start or play. Not sure if Kyle Firman is still injured.

Id be happy with a starting team like that Saturday . Id also add Corey Byrne Dunbar to the subs list he has really impressed me for both Ferns and anytime he has played for Wexford. Think Pepper could start too done well against Kilkenny and looks to have done some gym work not as easily pushed off the ball Afinestick (Wexford) - Posts: 999 - 31/01/2023 14:18:40 2455554 Link
If Waterford were "flying" then Davy has still learned nothing from his time with any other team. We all said it here before, you don't need to be flying in January. You need to be flying in April and May and if you aren't flying then it is all over before you know it. Wexford (and Dublin) need to use the league to give new faces game time and hope some can be up to speed and take a jersey off some of the established names come April. The problem is, at the moment the only players think who have that capability are the 2 Lawler's and Ian Carthy. I think beyond that the remaining 12 will be as other years.

The thing I'd be mindful of with him, Pepper and Conor Foley also is that they are all u20 this year. They would definitely be more of an addition to our u20s this year than our Seniors.

But we definitely need big performances all round. Galway will come here with loads of talent and a big physical presence. A lot of the new lads have gained valuable experience over the last few weeks and won't be overawed by the opposition or the big home support.However I will reluctantly go for a Galway win. I think they are further down the road in the development of their panel and they may have a little bit too much strength at the moment. Our newcomers are coming on nicely and will I am sure be a major asset as the season gets into full swing. Magpie2 (Wexford) - Posts: 271 - 31/01/2023 17:09:46 2455619 Link

Even if just those 3 succeed in that goal it will have been a very very successful Walsh Cup and League. Barring too many injuries it will mean we have championship standard cover to bring off the bench for every line on the pitch. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 11848 - 31/01/2023 18:06:52 2455640 Link
Think I'd go for a broadly similar team as lined out in the Kikenny game. Need to blend in experience and youth and have to also consider that some players are only just coming back so aren't ready just yet. I'd go for: James Lawlor Shane Reck-Ryan-Devitt Donohoe-Damien Reck-Ian Carty Dee-Richie Lawlor McGuckin-Chin (If he's fit, may as well try Ross Banville otherwise)-Connal Flood (If ready to go) Dunbar-Conor Mc-Dwyer ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 240 - 31/01/2023 18:24:32 2455651 Link
According to Wexford People we'll be short 4-6 starters from last year with O'Hanlon, Rory O'Connor & Oisin Foley recovering from injury while Jack O'Connor and Chin are doubtful add in Paudie Foley been away. That means we can pick our strongest available and still give a few opportunities, Fitzgibbon Cup might effect selection too for Saturday and the Westmeath the following weekend.

I think missing those players McGovern and Flood included we will need to pick our best team available to compete with Galway. Id go with Lawlor , Devitt, Ryan, S Reck, Carty, D Reck, Donohoe, R Lawlor, Dee, Mcguckin, Dwyer, Hearne , Ross Banville, Mac, CByrne Dunbar or Pepper We are going to have to be very smart in possession and not lump ball down on our half forward line or Galway will swallow us up.
