Cork Hurlers - Part 2

[Corkfan82]

KK hurling lad in work “not convinced” by Cork and still confident they would beat us! Gotta love the gaa rivalry

Just ask him is he worried about Carlow this year?

 

[Corkfan82]

I think Coleman is a serious worry and whilst Eoin Downey is a superb hurler everyone knows about his physical limitations,and will put a big eunuch in on him like O Brien.
Why not swap the Downeys and that could solve our problem and play either Cormac o Brien or Ger Mellerick wing back

Why not just sub E Downey if in trouble for Cahalane or Mellerick and leave R Downey lord it at CB?

Eoin Downey written off
Ethan Twomey forgotten about.
The" Bull "O'Brien will lord it (FFS)
Coleman just about to be deployed as a 3rd midfielder ( FUCKSAKE ARE WE BACK HERE)

3 week break , we are primed. Over a week out and the bed shitting is becoming Delirious .

Without wishing to sound pessimistic I think Limerick will just shade our encounter in Limerick. Hopefully we'll meet them again in the latter stages of the competition where, in a neutral venue, we'll shade it over them. Doubt there'll be much more than a puc of ball in it either day.

I think the same, Cork have it in their locker to beat them as we know but at home will be a tough task.

As long as Cork battle to the end a small margin defeat wouldn’t be the end of the world.

In saying that I still think we have a great chance against anyone anywhere with our squad.

The difference between these teams next week will come from the line in my opinion

We havent shown well in this regard, most recently up in Ennis. This is the final bit of the jigsaw for me as we have the squad and work ethic now

Spot on. In game moves is an opportunity area for Cork to improve this year

Lots of people very nervous about Coleman again. It would take a near perfect championship for the guy to gain some people’s confidence.

 

[Thanks]

What’s the story with McCarthy not in the Clare 26 for the Tipp game?

You're a good poster on here BR. You are driven to defend Coleman which is admirable.

Colemans positioning and tackling(below average) are not IC standard IMO. R Downey & C Joyce are way ahead as natural defenders at the fundamentals of catching, hooking, blocking, staying goal side of your man and stopping him. COB looked very good is this area during the league.

Coleman offsets his defensive limitations with Al Star touch and classy striking. He looks unreal on the ball, his play is being on the ball. He understandably wants to play the ball and influence the game with his strengths and honestly is a slack marker as a result. This is where a Tom Morrissey can clean up as IMO Coleman is not physically strong enough for Hegarty.

Therefore I can understand other posters calling for COB to start. We are lucky to have Coleman, he played fine very Clare, but dropped his performance in the 2nd half vs Tipp.
