tough one to take for him. Quality player though

Fagan_ODowd · August 8, 2022, 5:56pm

Flaky as fuck.

Watchthepost · August 8, 2022, 5:57pm

True, but naturally very talented.

Davy is freeing himself up

Stand off in Waterford seemingly. County Board were all set to unveil Davy as the new manager on Monday afternoon. Players have apparently let the County Board know that they don’t want him and there’ll be departures if he’s foisted on them.

Who do the players want?

Big_Dan_Campbell · August 10, 2022, 9:29am

Skippy Ryan

Derek is warming up the BBQ and preparing the self help books as we speak.

glasagusban · August 10, 2022, 9:33am

I think he’s the best choice.

ChairmanDan · August 10, 2022, 9:41am

Don’t know. They don’t want Davy anyway.

Wasn’t there a similar scenario in Galway last year? Galway County Board were all set to appoint Davy and senior players stepped in and said, no way.

carryharry · August 10, 2022, 9:48am

You would

ChairmanDan · August 10, 2022, 9:49am

Derek is one of their own. He understands the Waterford mindset. He’s also got Waterford the closest of anyone in the last 60 years to winning an All Ireland.

glasagusban · August 10, 2022, 9:51am

Yeah. You should pay attention. I have a far better record than you on such matters.

myboyblue · August 10, 2022, 10:31am

To have a Derek, and choose a Davy, would be the most Waterford thing ever.

Ralphie · August 10, 2022, 10:38am

Derek and Davy = Dreamteam

The calculating wordsmith who bonds with his players and understand the soul of Waterford and a deranged lad from Clare

Elvis_Brandenberg_Kr · August 10, 2022, 11:06am

Neither would be a good appointment, though Davy would arguably get more out of them in the short term.

They seem to be mentally scarred are are no longer built to win soon. This is a project and needs someone who can build it. This current squad will not cut it anymore.

Big_Dan_Campbell · August 10, 2022, 11:11am

I think the diminishing returns from TDB and Barron due to injuries means that the ship for this current group may have sailed.

ChairmanDan · August 10, 2022, 11:14am

De Burca looked a much diminished player all year. I had it from a fairly good source before a ball was struck this year that he wasn’t at all confident in the knee and didn’t think he had long left at inter-county level. He looked and played all year like he was minding his knee and wasn’t comfortable on it.

Barron with a proper rest and recuperation May overcome his injury travails.

Big_Dan_Campbell · August 10, 2022, 11:16am

Barron is there since 2012, he may well get back to form with a new manager but he is on the road a long time.
