Tomorrows game is too close to call for me. The bookies have us as 2 point favourites. Last week will have taken a lot out of the Waterford players, have no doubt. On the other hand they will have the proper match sharpness and if they can eliminate the crazy amount of wides they shoot, that will give us plenty.
We know what Waterford are going to try and do, based on last week. Compress half-back/mid-field/half forward and try and break with speed when winning ball. They got very little change trying to go down the middle of Limerick , so one would hope that we don't see 4 or 5 white shirts running at our full-back line at any stage tomorrow.
As for our beloved rebels a few quick points :
1) Puck-out strategy
2) Forwards willing to track back behind our half back line
3) Backs willing to get forward in support.
4) Old school as usual from me but I want to see skill!! I want to see the sliotair picked first time, passes sticking to hand, plenty of hooking and blocking. Basics need to be on point.
5) Just once Id like to see us come out of a schmozzle with the sliotair, just once please!!
Starting with a clean slate tomorrow. Can't wait for the match. Rebels abú!
