yea i need it for pricks

1142

Bit ridiculous that the team hasn’t been named at this stage. Honestly hard to know what Dunne will come up with. Surely has to be a few changes from the last day.

1143

Are we ripping up the script, mate? A load of changes?

1144

This is team I heard but players haven’t been told so it’s just speculation. Think it would be good to see Chin centre forward.

  1. Fanning
  2. Ryan
  3. O’ Hanlon
  4. Moore
  5. Foley
  6. Shore
  7. O’ Connor
  8. Redmond
  9. Nolan
  10. O’ Keefe
  11. Chin
  12. Byrne
  13. Foley
  14. McDonald
  15. McGovern

I still can’t get over the decision to realign our defence for Kilkenny after Chin played centre back all year. Whatever about surprising them with our attacking game plan and positioning, it was dumb to unsettle the defence. Chin was a real positive in a league without many and had become a lynchpin. Now the possible team above has him being moved to centre forward when we’ve just conceded 5-25. I know he can hurl there and has played there with the Harriers last season and this but I think he’s very much required at centre back.

1146

If that team lines out its time to just write off the Dunne reign and start afresh.

A very strange selection if true.Hard to believe Fanning would keep his place and also the moving of Chin to centre forward .Hope the young lads do well, and that Wexford don’t make a hunt of themselves.I was down in Cork during the week and anyone I spoke to expect Cork to win well. Up Wexford!

Team confirmed

Foley for Waters
Foley for Kenny (I think)
Nolan for Tompkins (I think)

Big gamble throwing Kevin Foley in at centre forward. Really doubt we’ll line out like this but would be very interesting if we did. Apart from McDonald, we’ve no big forward for under puck outs so god knows what fucking plan Dunne has. Our half forward line is seriously athletic but seriously small. Again, we won’t line out this I’d be nearly sure.

Good? Are you Happy with that

1150

I’ve learned the team announcement doesn’t really mean anything Joe. Dunne is a crackpot.

1151

50/50 game pal against Cork, they are in disarray and they won’t fancy wexford park.

I hope ye bate the bastards anyway, good omen their minors losing to us last night when they should have had us bate by 15 points.

1152

Are we charging, lads?

I think that team, if it lines out as selected, has 12 of my preferred side and they’re lined out in positions that suit them.

I wanted Breen in goal, Andrew Kenny in the full back line alongside Ryan and O’Hanlon and someone else upfront for O’Keeffe.

I fully support the selection of Aidan Nolan in midfield and Foley x2.

Of course, the team bears a striking resemblance to the team posted before the official announcement by Wexford1996, except it had Chin at centre forward. This wouldn’t surprise me but I wouldn’t agree with it for reasons already stated.

If Chin isn’t moved forward then we’ll need to have an imaginative enough puck out strategy as O’Keeffe, Foley and Byrne are all small enough and far from aerially dominant. More fast, dynamic, creative types.

So to finish where I started: is it worth a charge? Hard to know when you don’t know the way the team will be set out on the pitch but it looks a capable enough team.

I read Patrick Horgan’s interview in The Irish Independent. I’m not so confident now. Off to read the Liam Dunne piece in The Irish Times now.

1154

I wish he’d stop talking about Jack Guiney’s attitude and commitment in the national press.

1155

I’d like McGovern to play in the half forward line. We’ll see if they do that.

1156

O’Hanlon wins toss and elects to play against the strong breeze. Sun will be in Fanning’s eyes in first half too. Breeze often dies down in Wexford Park too. We usually opt to play against the wind but surprised by that call given Kilkenny game and need to build confidence and get ahead early on.

1157

Time to witness the Conor Mac and Kevin Foley show.

CMAAAAANNNN

1158

half empty stadium, jesus that wexford crowd don’t deserve a hurling team after that

1159

The decision to play against the breeze was brainless,but then again not surprising give the capacity for fcuk ups from the current set up.Dunne has to go after this!

Should JJ be given the job before the u21 game on Wednesday or is it right and proper to wait?

McDonald has regressed something awful. His touch was woeful tonight.
