Cork Hurlers - Part 2

[red&blue]

Is that the "royal we" or do you imagine you are speaking for Cork fans in general?

I am speaking for myself no one else, that is my opinion

They all need to have a great work ethic. That's been the case since time immemorial. Work without Skill or Skill without Work just won't cut it at the top level. You need the guys who excel at the hard work to make space and time for the guys who's forte is skill but by God you need both, in my opinion anyway

But we don’t have a panel full of players with a great work ethic do we?

I'm a ROF fan but 100% agree with TOT here.

He's won the hearts and minds of the banner faithful, An accolade worth far more than any medals

I don't think he won too many hearts and minds of Clare followers after the Munster final last year tbh.

I think the picked against Clare was very close to being as good as we can have. As it happens I think that is very good.

Midfield is the one area I think that has not been sorted more than any. I think Ethan Twomey may be one part of that jigsaw and for me I would like to see TOC tried again there or Brian Roche with Dara moving forward.

After that I simply think the team needs to be coached to defend.

I am inclined to agree with you there, After the 6 changes after Waterford a bit of continuity would be good

if we have a Brian Roche or Tommy O Connell in midfield with Ethan we will be much more robust and have a greater work ethic.

How Darragh Fitz is not playing at 11 is baffling, he would be a major asset to our foward line.

I think when our subs came on, the gap in physicality/ball winning between the teams increased significantly.

100%. Most accurate post here all week. Management need to look at how we want to present and line up on each line of the pitch in the first minute, and ask how we can still have that shape and use the game plan in the 70th.

Jesus the wums are having a field day.
If Tipp dont beat Waterford on the weekend I'll be giving this thread a miss till next year

Come back for the club championship though. If looking for reports on Glen games check the Senior A thread.

Is this Lohan's fourth year in charge of Clare ? I wonder what he won in his first 3 years ?

Lohan is some craic. A gas man full of the joys of life ?
The inspiration behind Fr Stone apparently

The management could start by being consistent in selecting a natural defender such as Ger Millerick.
