[QUOTE="JPM, post: 7383464, member: 49847"] As a Cork exile it’s been a long day - leaving home at 8.30 to get a series of trains to exotic Ennis. Now on my way home I’ll offer some comments. Making space and denying space are fundamental to the game. Clare created space easily and we struggled to do so because of short passing and poor positioning. They denied us space most of the time and we stood off. Again knowing where to be allied to a poor work rate were the causes. On the individual performances; Apart from the usual quota of scary puck outs PC did OK. SOD played well. ER did not dominate but his man was replaced and not much damage came through 14. NOL is not an instinctive defender. CJ was magnificent. TOC fought hard and used the ball well but we cannot use him in the HB line. COB was in front of me in the first half. He was roasted by Fitzgerald and I didn’t expect to see him in the second half. Our midfield was non-existent. The EC experiment didn’t work and BR has regressed. As I previously posted Shane Barrett is a superior midfielder. Our forwards looked threatening in the first half and we looked forward to a take over in the second half. Hoggy has surely ended the debate about his selection. He was by far our best forward. I would like to see Deccie D back for the long range frees. ST was the next best forward and deserves to be persisted with. BH seemed to have improved his touch and I wouldn’t have replaced him. I’m a fan of ROF but after a promising start he had a stinker and should have been replaced much earlier. Finally the two black sheep: CL had a good first half and used the ball well. Not much came his way in the second half. SK had his usual problems winning the ball but worked hard and effectively in the second half. Shane B played well when he came on. A few other points: Bringing on subs with a few minutes to go is insulting. Management replacement seemed too slow. Taking short puck outs with a strong wind, especially early in the second half, is hard to understand. If I was picking a championship team only 4 of today’s team would be on it. That and the Fitzgibbon complication eases my pain. [/QUOTE]
