gov Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 As we are all still no doubt buzzing over the derby yesterday!! Massive game on Wednesday in the cup! i think Sean Claire has all the tools to be a good player but i think taking him off yesterday was the turning point. Lets stick with the team that finished the game yesterday if everyone is fit and really have a go on our turf. Ryo looks like some player and thought Morrison done really well when we came on to give us more natural width. Hearts for the win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey1874 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Players played with more confidence. Guys like Whelan and Meshino helped that. Obviously be looking for Clare not to be in team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky jamboa Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Hoping for the same starting line up as sunday, minus clare. Would maybe stick Irving in instead, with morrison to come on later in the game. Hopefully mulraney can be more productive with his final ball. Would keep him in, to keep a relatively settled team, but needs to do more. Looking forward to wednesday now. Hope we can kick on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clare on the other hand.... all the attributes but seems to lack the fight for the SPL (hopefully that changes) Spot on about Clare. Contrast with the effort put in by Uche, heart of a Lion compared to the heart of a mouse. Clare looks to have ability but very little passion or game awareness and doesn't want to get involved in the battle at all. Mulraney in the last three games has been starved of support but I think he linked very well with Meshino several times yesterday. Him on the left and Morrison on the right gives us a much more balanced team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
