You’re in a glass house throwing boulders now

You could see Kilkenny have been working on this style of play a long time, short 20 to 30 yard passes to take the spare man in each time and working the ball up accurately and slower than usual. Almost football like in its approach. I think a few things went against us today tho. Conceding so much in the middle of the first half against that wind. Players playing well below ability. Very silly decisions and play that they haven’t normally being doing. It’s no harm to get a bit of a trimming now and then, gives a huge chance to learn the weaknesses and cut them out and improve. But only if they learn of those mistakes.

Conor Mac has looked better in his last 3 games than he has done for quite a while now. Free taking looks to be somewhat solved now too. Depth in defence is definitely a worry tho

It was only the league pal

But it was only the league fir the last few weeks as well

Its caught out plenty on here this season. This little pisshorn of optimism the league brings.

We all know a pisshorn is no good to man nor beast though

Davy is just playing mind games before the real hurling starts in May.

Hurling is more individuals than systems, and Kilkennys stronger players are better than yeres.

But playing with expectation is a strange beast too, you can only shake it with experience, so plenty of that, plus the bandwagon slows down, never a bad thing.

West Limerick the home of hurling, Kerry and Meath in the conversation, only one ball ever found in Tipp, dropped by someone passing through

Last night’s match was like pitch and putt compared to this. Kilkenny very fired up for it.

carryharry · April 1, 2018, 6:12pm

Club level tempo last night.
