Replying To wicklowsupport:  "I watched Oisin's interview with Michael Sargent after yesterday's game against Offaly. I thought it was a revealing interview. Conversion of chances seems to be our achilles heel. I'm not privy to any inside knowledge and I'm not saying one player can transform an attacking unit but i have to ask the question - is matthew ging not one of the best forward in Wicklow? Under the new rules, the advantage is with forwards but our forwards are not scoring goals and are only scoring 2-pointers intermittently. This makes it hard to win games. People involved in football in the county should listen to Louth chairman interview about how the county has progressed, he was interviewed on rte's morning ireland programme."

We need as many as we can get. I know one won't fix the problem but it would be a start. Watch yesterday's game, Louth had some stand out forwards but equally their half backs and midfielders were contributing on the scoreboard.

Ive been saying for a while that this possession football has become ingrained in our younger footballers. Those young fellows were scoring freely for their clubs prior to these possession tactics bring coached into them. Noe it's all about a fear of losing the ball. Hence you play a game and score 11 pts. I have also said that, in my opinion, based on what I saw over the past few yrs was that Fogarty was the best attacking half back on show. He has had restricted playing time with the county. Someone at yesterday's club game said that he played for his club and scored 3 pts, and C Fee played some of the game also and scored a few pts. This round the houses type of play that Wicklow play doesn't seem to be working. Then again, maybe that's as good as we are.
