Egan obviously didn't want a repeat of the Clare scoreline so sacrificed Rory to keep it half respectable. Nobody really knows and probably Egan doesn't know himself where this Wexford team is really at until we get our best 15 out against Galway in the Leinster championship. Lose against Galway in the first match and then more than likely we will need to beat Kilkenny again in the last round robin game to get through.

As long as Management keep picking Fanning it's not his fault. He can't drop the ball into his net and keep Making these costly blunders if management don't pick him. Past hurler (None) - Posts: 919 - 19/03/2023 16:53:13 2464812 Link 1 |

Dublin in Parnell Park in round 3 is likely to be a key game.

In fairness in 8 games so far between Walsh Cup and League himself and Lawlor got 4 starts each so Egan gave both of them ample opportunities.

Why have the previous managers always played fanning??ive seen lawlor and he does all the basics right and doesn't go jumping up and down..ye also need to get a very reliable free taker who will score 8 or 9 out of 10 every day..chin is a great hurler and leader but a manufactured free taker..it looks like ye May have 18 or 19 to realistically pick from..injuries will be crucial for ye to contend in leinster,if ye lose anyone it might be curtains..

The best natural freetaker in Wexford is Ross Banville but in fairness to Egan, I don't think Banville has done enough to warrant a championship start, hasn't really featured enough in the league. Chin will be the freetaker. Past hurler (None) - Posts: 919 - 19/03/2023 20:08:02 2464898 Link 0 |

Fanning was decent enough for a good while in goal for Wexford but last 2/3 years he's been shocking. The excuse that's usually trotted out here is that we have no one else but as you said yourself, Lawlor hasn't done much wrong this season. It's at the stage now where Fanning costs us a goal or two in nearly every match he plays. And as for a free taker, we have one lad who is a much more natural free taker than Chin but he's probably not good enough from open play and doesn't work hard enough so he doesn't usually start.

Ross Banville is excellent on frees and an excellent scorer from play but marks space too much when the opposition have the ball.

The League has given us maybe an extra 4 or 5 players to spring from the bench or start in case of injuries. Maybe 1 or 2 might start anyway. Much more useful than last years League which just gave us 5 wins from 5 in the group stage. Job done. Move forward to the real hurling.

Always felt Ian Byrne was messed around by Davy. I actually think we are missing a trick not including Cian Byrne more in this league campaign. hunting (Wexford) - Posts: 1122 - 19/03/2023 20:56:43 2464923 Link 0 |

Yes. Rory wasn't sweeper he was playing centreback. And played very well there too!

Yes. Rory wasn't really a sweeper he was playing more as a centreback. And played very well there too! Kevin who was supposed to be playing centreback played more of a deep midfield role.

He's the standout back but Cathal Doyle and Stephen O Gorman would be just as important to the team at club level. Dwyer is Fethards best forward from what I've seen of them. Higgins, Lawlor and O Connor are probably Rathnures. Mac would still be Goreys. Chin is Harriers. Hearne and Mcguckin have been 2 of our better intercounty players this year so far. Who are the forwards you are talking about? Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 15621 - 20/03/2023 08:11:36 2464964 Link 0 |

I know he is under 20, i dont think that matter, forgot about mac.what your take on the match viking?I taught the scoreline was slightly unfair, limerick the better tem no doubt and could go up another gear but we were well in there for long stretches. Conceding 1 3 for goalkeeper errors and missing so many frees was the big killer. We were very defensive too, felt sorry for the two boys inside. But valuable game time for a lot of young lads.

Wasn't at the game but listening to Spratt ( which is difficult to put it mildly) okay we lost by 11 points but we all knew that taking into account our injury woes that it was always going to end in a drubbing. Magpie2 (Wexford) - Posts: 447 - 20/03/2023 08:31:20 2464969 Link 0 |
