I imagine he meant it in a "there's no i in team" kind of way.
Nash is actually one of the few Cork players who would even get on the Clare team.

You really do talk an uncontrolable amount of scutter If you actually believe what you posted those it not make Davy one of the worst managers in the history of the GAA that he couldnt beat such a clearly inferior team as Cork??

An amazing amount of insecurity from some of the Cork fans here
This Clare team have been better hurlers than their Cork equivalents at every level and know nothing but winning.
But suddenly it's blasphemous to suggest that Clare are the better team?
Cork's amazing history and 30 AI wins won't matter a bit next Saturday (unless JBM himself is planning to tog out)
I personally think it will be a really close game with one team pulling away in the last 5-10 minutes,
but if I had to put money on one team to win convincingly I'd put it on Clare, and I'm sure many neutrals would take the same view.

As for Cork players that would make the Clare team, there's 4 or 5 I'd take, no more.

Lets completely gloss over the fact that Cork pasted Clare in Munster this year.

How many Clare players would get on the Cork team?

Yeah sure some Clare fans think that game never happened. Played Cork twice in championship this year with 0 wins. Yes Clare are completely superior.

If that's what you call a pasting you could well be in for a rude surprise next weekend.
And I suppose we're also ignoring the league while we're at it?
The relegation playoff was a particularly interesting one, Clare put up a massive number of wides that day, they've been much more economical as the year has gone on. That's been Clare's problem, putting teams away. If they find a solution it could be an awesome spectacle

Davy needs to decide if he's going to actually put high balls into Honan or not.
If not, then perhaps Cathal McInerney could be a better option, with Honan to come on if we need a goal

I'd start Honan myself, and hit the opdd ball into him to see if we could work a goal in the replay. If we could get even one past Nash it would give us a huge lift.

Pointless hitting high ball into Honan unless the ball is dropping in front of him and he can attack it. If its a high 50/50 ball he's unlikely to win it.

I'd start MacInerney myself, put in Honan for the last quarter.

I suppose league form is the same as championship? I do think Clare have more to worry about next day out than Cork.

I don't think they will worry too much. They just seem to love playing hurling. A lot of them boys are delighted to have another massive day out.

Cork love hurling too..

I'm going for Clare myself on three counts:
1)If Clare play anything near how they played in the drawn game I can't see them being beat
2)I don't think Cork can improve on the last day -like ourselves they just don't have the players
3)I just couldn't be listening to the Cork lads crowing and the Clare lads whinging for the next year

I'm from Clare and I hope we don't see a 'regression towards the mean'

I think both teams are evenly matched, and last time, Clare played superbly while Cork underperformed. This means Cork are likely to play better next time while we it remains to be seen whether clare played exceptionally well last time, or whether they are of that standard that they can match that performance consistently.

I hope the guys can keep their focus and play to their potential in the replay. I don't think Cork will make the same mistakes again.

Thats a fair assessment and 100% agree. Both teams have the potiential to win. Both teams have another crack at it.
