Unless my maths are wrong, since the Leinster Final in 2019, we've played in 11 Championship games that were one-score games at the end of the regulation 70. Our record? Won 1, Drew 4, and Lost 6 Won: Kilkenny (2023) Drew: Kilkenny (2021), Galway (2022), Westmeath (2022), Dublin (2024) Lost: Tipperary (2019), Clare (2021), Dublin (2022), Dublin (2023), Westmeath (2023), Antrim (2024) Think we've played nine other Championship games in that timeframe and our record in them is Won 5 and Lost 4 ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 247 - 27/04/2024 21:18:47 2541040 Link
We've played seven games this year between League and Championship, six of those were one-score games: one win, four draws, and one loss. It's funny because I know some people like to write it off as League =/= Championship but we were in trouble against Offaly who are Joe McDonagh yet were able to compete with Waterford, Kilkenny, and Clare. For me, it's the same old story, we raise our game against top teams and we lower it versus non-top teams, hence why we are in so many close games. Again, it's not a question of ability, it's a question of mentality ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 247 - 27/04/2024 21:24:16 2541042 Link

Replying To Tiger1: "If we beat Galway at home next week we have carlow and kk in last 2 matches which will leave us on 7 pts no need to be so downbeat now is the time to get behind the players." Spot on. Its up to them to get themselves out of the mess they've put themselves in! Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 11879 - 27/04/2024 21:54:17 2541053 Link

We have to comment on the last 2 games tho. That's our problem in wexford always looking to next game. Nothing suggest we will get results in the next 3 games. It's been awful.

Difference between Wexford and Dublin is that Dublin win the games they should win and lose the games they should lose whereas Wexford lose the games they should win and win the games they should lose ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 247 - 27/04/2024 22:23:01 2541067 Link
