Replying To Past hurler: "Team named 1. Fanning 2. Donohue 3. Jippo. 4. Devitt 5.MOH 6. D.Reck. 7. P. Foley 8. DOK 9. Liam Og 10. Jack. 11. Oisin Foley 12. Chin 13. Morris 14. Mac 15. Rory Egan seems to be nervous about getting the win and has put no faith in the youth. I would of liked to see Conall Flood and Conor Hearne start." Defintely looks hes fully reverted to the tried and trusted so to speak, which I wouldnt have thought was going to happen early in the year. However, that is a very strong looking team on paper. Leinster is very much in Wexfords hands from what I can see. A draw in Nowlan Park in the final game maybe enough as Wexford could well have a better score difference by then. Either way Wexford are far from out of contention and I'd give them a great chance of a result in Nowlan Park with that team. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 13/05/2022 11:36:15 2416835 Link
If Galway and Wexford both win this weekend there are three possible outcomes Current standing: Dublin 6 Galway 5 Kilkenny 4 Wexford 3 After this weekend there are three possible results. Kilkenny win, Dublin win or a draw Kilkenny win would mean Galway 7 Kilkenny 6 Dublin 6 Wexford 5 Dublin win would mean Dublin 8 Galway 7 Wexford 5 Kilkenny 4 A draw would mean Galway 7 Dublin 7 Kilkenny 5 Wexford 5 I dont see any results that can see a WX v KK final without a big shock from Laois v Galway Yellow (Wexford) - Posts: 589 - 13/05/2022 12:29:47 2416853 Link

Strong team named the strongest possible with the exception of Flood in half back and MOH instead of Devitt. If we do qualify for the AI series will Shane Reck be back? Bailey and Murphy are out for the year I think. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 16752 - 13/05/2022 13:14:50 2416867 Link

That's by far our best team, Maybe Flood in for Devitt and MOH back to corner back but finally we have our strongest team out. As someone earlier in the thread alluded to what in god's name was Egan thinking with that half forward line at the start of the year. Hopefully another big confidence boosting win against Westmeath and then set up for a titanic tussle with Kilkenny in Nowlan park.

Egan was thinking towards a year or two down the line when he has to re build the team totally. He has to give these lads match time. In addition, he did not have Chin, Jacko or Morris available. StoreysTash (Wexford) - Posts: 1917 - 13/05/2022 14:32:41 2416883 Link

McKuckian is not the answer anytime, never mind a year or two down the line. countyman2022 (Wexford) - Posts: 872 - 13/05/2022 16:55:11 2416911 Link
We should be able to win this match comfortably. Perhaps not as lop sided as the Laois match. Very strong side announced. I really can't see Westmeath holding Mac, Lee and Rory so i think there will be plenty of goal scoring opportunities. Good to see Paul Morris back. Always worth a few scores. Im a bit surprised Flood isn't starting but if all goes well Darragh will surely empty the bench. The midlanders will fight all the way as they gave Kilkenny and Dublin tough enough games. However we will I'm sure prove too strong and we should win by at least 10 points. Samson55 (Wexford) - Posts: 103 - 13/05/2022 18:03:16 2416921 Link

Plenty of time to give lads game time thinking of the future i.e Walsh cup and the league you don't do it in must win games in the championship ffs. McGuckin not being good enough was clear from early in the season yet he persisted with him. ChinCanHurl (Wexford) - Posts: 302 - 14/05/2022 10:53:13 2416961 Link

Very loathe to criticise players and I have a certain degree of sympathy for mcguckin in that he's been thrown into the heat of championship hurling in his first year as a result of injuries to various players. The team starting today is very close to our strongest 15. Don't think flood has done anything wrong and is unlucky not to be starting and shane reck / murphy areinjured but other than that I think it's the best we have available HurlingBuzz (Wexford) - Posts: 556 - 14/05/2022 11:56:03 2416983 Link
Can't believe how hard lads are being on McGukian. Fair enough, he doesn't contribute on the scoreboard very much which is something he needs to improve. I don't know whether lads aren't watching or just don't understand but his man never wins a clean ball and every single time he goes into a ruck he come out with it or knocks it on. One of the best workers in the team. I don't think he's in our best 15. But writing him off is silly. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3866 - 14/05/2022 12:00:32 2416985 Link

Please can we stop naming players on this forum in a negative way let's just say they are certain players not up to it in my opinion rather than naming names thanks Tiger1 (Wexford) - Posts: 410 - 14/05/2022 13:02:46 2416995 Link
I'm pretty new to this and I Completely agree regarding the negative comments. This is a forum for debate not sledging. McGuckian is a young up and coming hurler and remember Charlie doesn't pick the team it's Egan that picks it and he puts him in so get on with it. I'd love to know the identity of some of the lads on this and see it the know have they had much of a "hurling career" themselves or are they pub pundits. This is a national forum and looking at other counties forum we are definitely the worst for turning on our own. Heres to a great day in Mullingar.

Replying To countyman2022: "McKuckian is not the answer anytime, never mind a year or two down the line." Think he has got alot better over the course if this season. He has bulked up considerably also from when I saw him at u20. Remember he has been asked to play what is effectively a defensive midfield role though named at wing forward. From the deep positions covering back he was never going to score a fateful of points. Maybe you have unrealistic expectations of him lad?

Holy Moly, that is a disaster ,a shocking result. Imagine if this happened in any other county would Management keep their job? Tox73 (Wexford) - Posts: 185 - 14/05/2022 20:10:36 2417072 Link
Going backwards at a rate of knots in all honesty. But will probably get the usual suspects coming on here with the usual rubbish like unrealistic expectations, manager not miracle worker etc blah blah blah. tearintom (Wexford) - Posts: 1542 - 14/05/2022 20:12:15 2417073 Link
South East radio are saying we can still qualify if we beat Kilkenny but that can't be true Dublin would beat us on head to head Yellow (Wexford) - Posts: 589 - 14/05/2022 20:18:10 2417076 Link
Absolute disaster. As bad a result I can remember in my lifetime and reminded me of the Bonnar days. Yet again, hit too many wides. We will never contend with anyone so long as we trail so far behind in the accuracy stakes. The heart wasn't there, particularly when they got Glennon sent off- it's as if we just assumed we'd win. None of our big name players stood up when it mattered. But at least we had a good league campaign eh? One win out of four, against Laois, who were subsequently hammered again today. Dublin looked like last-four contenders against us but were unravelled against KK. Whatever way you paint it, it's being a poor start to Egan's championship tenure. And he hindered our under-20s chances too with the furore with Pepper, who he didn't even use again today. beano (Wexford) - Posts: 1502 - 14/05/2022 20:19:44 2417079 Link
