Good to see us comeback and get the draw, things weren't looking good at HT, but we got out with a point, didn't really see that coming so it was a nice surprise. Htaem (Meath) - Posts: 8657 - 19/03/2017 17:04:57 1968572 Link

Great comeback! I thought when cork were 7 ahead going in at ht we might have a bit of a chance but when they came out and scored 2 more the game was over, it really was a great game. They seemed to get a lot of their scores from the right hand side in the first half. Credit to the management as well, thought they made some very good decisions at the right times. We really pushed all our players up on their kick. Our own kick outs also improved a lot from the Galway game, players were looking for the ball and when they weren't Andy wasn't shy about roaring at them. Was biggy injured towards the end of the game? Seemed to be short of energy even though he did earn the free to level the game. Still improvements to be made but today was encouraging, we need to go and win next week , past teams would lose after showing a bit of promise, let's put it right next Sunday and win the game easily.

Replying To ziggy32001: "andy had a real go at the players on lmfm. said we stood well off in the first half. had a real go at silly shots when we were on top." Yeah, it seemed that we lacked that little bit of composure at the end to see out the game. Games like today will bring on this team a lot. bert09 (Meath) - Posts: 1825 - 19/03/2017 18:12:20 1968631 Link

hard to know from listening to Lmfm, Did we get wiped out in midfield? who was our best performers today, sounded like Keoghan was brilliant once again, and also sounded like Paddy O'Rourke was excellent with his kickouts but was their any other stand out performers? redser123 (Meath) - Posts: 412 - 19/03/2017 18:19:54 1968640 Link

We left the win behind us but plenty to work on. Promotion is still on and what ppl don't realize about promotion is that it will give us an extra game against good opposition probably Kildare in the division 2 final. More games the better to develop this team further. Great number of Meath supporters down in cork which was great to see. We need a full 75 mins against Fermanagh but think we should have too much for them. Up the Royal. Meathmen (Meath) - Posts: 73 - 19/03/2017 18:53:11 1968668 Link
Well that was eventful, I think if we had got a couple more points in the first 10 minutes when we were in control we would have won, also some wild shots near end, however cork missed a goal chance. Decent travelling support, unfortunately promotion is not in our own hands , but we must keep the pressure on. A win v Fermanagh is a must royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 19/03/2017 19:45:41 1968700 Link
Couldn't make the game today but nearly wrecked my precious iPhone hopping between LMFM, Twitter and the match tracker here such was the excitement at the end of that game. To get a draw away from home after being 9 points down and seemingly playing rubbish for 45 minutes is a great result. Just as against Galway plenty of fight, heart, guts and determination in show which are huge plus points in themselves as unless we have those qualities we will go nowhere. Plenty to work on of course and to hear McEntee after the game convey his disgust at some of the shot selection was greatly refreshing and a sign that the players will be well tuned for Fermanagh next Sunday. Promotion still a possibility but we need Galway to slip and win our last two, we can only focus on our own business and either way it's crucial we win these last two games Richieq (Meath) - Posts: 3748 - 19/03/2017 19:52:15 1968707 Link

Midfield still a problem, won very little primary possession, Cork lost two of their midfielders early on, Walsh to injury and Maguire to black card. But we still struggled. I thought Toher worked very hard and covered a lot of ground seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2217 - 19/03/2017 19:54:34 1968709 Link
Support was good, game was there for the taking with 10 to go, but we adopted a very cautious approach keeping 12/13 men behind the ball. Overall a fair result, Cork have the look of a team with serious confidence issues. Great to see James McEntee back. seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2217 - 19/03/2017 20:01:02 1968715 Link

Still the biggest area of concern, but we knew that and in fairness the had better support today. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 19/03/2017 20:01:38 1968717 Link

Played most of that half as individuals, picked up quite a bit 10 mins into second half. seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2217 - 19/03/2017 20:05:09 1968720 Link
