Replying To Timbertony:  "Agreed, tactically we were confused last year. League with likes of Casey up front we simply had to play shorter ball and we looked better for it. Championship, Chin was flying in early games but we became very predictable later on in the games that mattered by going direct too often. Chin himself hardly won a ball in last two games.

Agreed on lack of ball players in half back line, look at McInerney for Clare, when he gets ball into his hand he isn't just lumping it, measured passes into space usually. Conor Foley sure can be developed, Molloy maybe, huge problem at 6 with no easy fix (wouldn't be against moving Chin back there like Conlan did without complaint).

To be honest I thought we blew a great chance this year to make a Leinster final with Galway so poor in a very average Leinster championship. Despite the Antrim debacle, we were in a great position v KK and I thought we collapsed in key positions when the game was there for us. Same v Clare early on, they ran through us at will. Time to be bold I think and let some of the more experienced lads move on.."
I agree about last year. We were in a position to be in the final before ever heading to nowlan park.

Hopefully we'll improve and others will be in transition.

I'm very worried about Davy's visit being first up.

Replying To Viking66:  "Kyle always struck me as being a better footballer. Shiel would be more of a stickman but wouldn't have Scallans strength. Both would need to improve on the heads up aspect, and taking the right options, and taking them faster. Not sure either are good enough for intercounty hurling on a side with ambitions of winning an AI tbh."
I was reading a lot about kinnerks training techniques last night and you could argue he has personally monopolised the all Ireland as 8 of the Clare lads had him too.

Is there a Wexford academic hiding somewhere who can replicate this?

Apparently their training games are 3 Vs 3 in small patches at above my match intensity trying to keep the ball with passing drills. That shouldn't be complicated to copy.

Plenty of coaches doing similar drills at clubs down here. Those will improve heads up hurling under pressure, basically speed of thought, and basic skills like movement, footwork, touch, handling, pickup etc., basically the speed players can execute at . You can shrink the area down to whatever you want to make the drill harder, and increase defenders to 4 or even 5 if you want to make it really tough.

Kinnerk brings way more than just improving individual players, or groups of players, though. He's constantly tweaking team set up and tactics. The drills you mention just prepare his players individually to carry out the team tactics he wants to pursue.

I think that if we're getting worried about Antrim playing us first up at Wexford Park, then we're in for a very long season
