There's no such thing as a flawless system though. All you can do is try to hide your weaknesses and keep your strengths. That's what Waterford are doing atm. They have a lot of young lads with great talent and great engines like Dunford, Barron and Gleeson as well as grizzled veterans like Moran and Brick to win ball. They're keeping the house safe by not conceding goals and, although wasteful yesterday, have good long distance shooters like Gleeson, Fives, Moran. Between Shanahan and others coming from deep they have a goal threat as shown against Cork.

IMO they are a couple forwards short and not conditioned enouh because of the youth to compete with Kilkenny and Tipp on a man to man basis, as Culbaire advocates. They got close to Tipp without lads like Gleeson or Dunford firing like they have previously.

This is their best option at the moment I feel. By all means it should be tweaked depending on opposition but the general idea is the right one.

I see your point and yes yere not conceding but there's no real danger in attack and if kk get a lead the problem arises

The worry also is waterford in the last two games start slowly
You will get away with it against every team in the country but not Kilkenny who will blitz any team if they get the chance in a period of the game


I think the system prevents scores yes but fact it won't imo beat the big teams is the worry

A game is about a combination of attack and defence

It's been mentioned i think but yesterday i thought we really missed Paudie and not because of frees or anything.

He was a huge loss in terms general play fair enough but tippeary could argue Noel McGrath was just as big as a loss for them so it balanced out imo

Did they though,they won yes but they didn't unravel waterfords system,they didn't run in 7 goals, they didn't have a sniff of a goal, and Waterford couldn't hit a cows arse with a shovel.

Perhaps Tipperarys forwards also did not perform on the day. A team that usually scores goals, maybe they had somewhat of an off day. Yet against this so called uber tight defence of Waterfords they still managed 21 points!!! Imagine if they happened on 1 goal? Waterford would have needed 25 to win. They scored 16! That's a big step up required.

Kilkenny would match Tipp and perhaps get a few goals. Does Waterford have the capability of scoring 25 plus points against these teams? That's the scoreline required at this stage of the season to win matches.

Talking about a solid defence is all well and good but ye still conceded 21 points. No better than what most teams do defensively.

That's a good post and similar to my views


Tippeary didn't even create a chance of goal and yes waterford didn't allow them that but kk will at least create goal chance

If kk get a goal waterford plan of containment isn't good enough in people have since may in the media said there's definitely an all ireland in waterford in the next few years


If that is so they need to show more ambitious plans going forward
Kk will be around for a while with the average age of the team around twenty five
I agree your point and it's well made in waterford defence still conceded twenty one points so while it prevented goals it showed imo weakness conceding points and is certainly not as unbreakable as it was in may deemed as

Spell it out!! Incidentally you conveniently OMITTED a large part of the post which indicated the type of hurling to ACCOMPANY the structure. Judging by the flippancy of your remarks that is hardly surprising. Lets here your approach in DETAIL. One thing is certain Waterford will not win an ALL Ireland with the current approach. Incidentally I did not indicate IN DETAIL how I would utilize the players in the full forward line. Neither did I indicate FULLY how I would use the two centre field players. I gave a broad outline of the structure. Incidentally you introduced the "10 yards". I DID NOT.
For your information a former Cork coach reckons as well that the structure I outlined is far superior to the current structure. Spell out in detail how you would break it down. Lets hear your plan. Also outline the hurling style you would use to accompany your structure. You are obviously a brilliant Junior B manager as indicated by the massive detail in your post. You post is typical of the "circle the wagons brigade". You just dont want to hear alternative points of view.

I apologise for offending you. My remark was indeed flippant and borne more out of frustration that people are calling for us to completely overhaul something that for the most part works, i agree it needs tweaking (another body in the full forward line for a start) but abandonment of it altogether would be foolhardy. When we went man to man in defence in the last few years we shipped huge scores. You only need to look at Limericks defence against Tipp a few weeks back to see what could have happened if we hadn't played a sweeper. Our main problem yesterday was with personnel rather than a system. Tipps forwards were that bit more composed and that partly comes with experience. We had plenty of chances for points and didn't take them but we have a lot of young forwards and it was a big step up but they will learn from it.

Honestly i think we are a bit off Tipp and Kilkenny this year no matter what tactics we use but I think McGrath's system will get us in with a shout and on our day we might just pull off a shock

skaface

We have to beat Dublin first before we start talking about Kilkenny..
While I think we will have too much hurling for Dublin, if we don't treat them with the upmost respect we could be in for a serious battle if
we become complacent..
Hopefully we will get as much support in two
weeks time as we had yesterday, now is the
time to get behind this young team..

No offence taken at all. I take the points you made. I know we are all a bit down at been beaten by Tipperary. As you know it can be a bit hard to listen to some of the Tipperary supporters in the border areas. But that's GAA rivalry. Hopefully we can take Dublin. Then who knows what will happen.

I'm giving an opinion about the match nothing more nothing less
I simply didn't post after the cork match as we had reached cross roads where views were different

We have moved on from the cork game and Cork have thankfully as the last two games showed and were now a fully fit squad for the ist time all year

That's the only game I'm here to debate and waterford future games

Back to the topic on hand waterford will be huge favourite and justified so should beat Dublin

Would you change anything for the Dublin game

I would put Glasson up at half forward the next day and see how it works

Deise189

I think one player who rarely gets a mention but deserves it is Shane Fives. He was absolutely incredible yesterday and took his scores superbly! One of the most underrated players in the country and undoubtedly one of the best corner backs in the country at the minute. Delighted to see him playing so well this year after being used as a scapegoat at times last year when our defence was being scrutinised.

I'd agree in line for an all star as himself and Barrett are in pole position for corner back awards

This game with Dublin is a tough one for ger Cunningham in he's lot affection for waterford hurling from Ballygunner

I know himself and Paul flynn got on very well
Also humphrey Kellher the ex Dublin manager from waterford so there's connection on boat sides

True indeed.

Shane is an example to any young lad trying to make the breakthrough. This lad has been on the panel since 2008 and has been f*cked around by every manager since, including the present one. For the lad to be dropped last year for the first round against Cork was unforgivable, especially after being one of our best players in the league.

For Shane to prove the doubters wrong this year, including the selection committee showed unbelievable resolve. He is now undroppable!

If only ever player had to work as hard for selection, our chances would be even more greatly enhanced.

Midfield? We have Jamie Barron and Kevin Moran there, leave Shane in the corner where he's having a super year. Lads TTM is a gas man, like we're all saying...not a peep out of him here since the Cork game, after the loss yesterday look who's here all of a sudden haha.

I'd agree he's been sustained excellent and is with out any shadow of a doubt one of the best corner backs around

Himself and Barrett of tippeary are the best in the game

Moran was outstanding with elven plays two superb point and one assist


Barron I had doubts at the start of the year but he was superb

Nothing really should change in the defence bar Gleasson worth a try as a forward as he has all the skills for it and to become a better team ye must score more
Out of all the teams left ye with Dublin are probably the ones with least scoring threat from play
Dublin is and ideal chance to work on this

Playing Shane Fives in midfield is not as far-fetched as it may at first seem. Jamie Barron doesn't really play in midfield, but in the hole between the wing backs created by Tadhg de Búrca's withdrawn positioning as sweeper. Fives's combination of drive & energy, mobility, ability in the air and good ball skills may not be most effectively used in the corner back position and could be more effectively used in conjunction with Moran in midfield. Stephen Daniels has shown in the past that he can be a very effective corner back.

Darragh Fives should have been brought on last Sunday instead of Shane Bennett to replace Eddie Barrett, as he is much more suited to the kind of role that Barrett was trying to play (but not very successfully). We cannot afford to have a player as good as Darragh Fives on the sideline. Long-term he should take Austin Gleeson's place in the half back line. Gleeson lacks defensive technique (for example, he can't tackle), gives away stupid frees (he could easily have got a red card last Sunday for his swipe at Bonner Maher), wastes good possession with his ridiculous long-distance shooting and rarely gives good ball into the forwards. He showed with his late run which nearly produced a goal his ability to run at defences and should be moved up to the forwards where he could greatly enhance our scoring potential.

I agree with you there i would move Gleeson forward and would want more scores from Stephen Bennett or else I'd start Shane or Patrick Curran.
Look I would say we all think we will not win an All Ireland this year, what are looking for is continuous improvement which I believe we seen again Sun even though we lost as the opposition was much more tactical and of better quality.

blueflame

Have read a lot of alternatives such as pulling out the half forwards into midfield, the aim I assume being to crowd the midfield area and leave space in front of the full forward line. In my opinion there is nothing new in this tactic as most counties will allow there center back to sit back and cover the area in from of the full back line to prevent ball being played into the space created The congested area of midfield where our entire half forward line are now operating will result in our extra man (our center forward) being swallowed up amongst the masses. The congestion also results in little time and space to play good quality ball in, which is what is needed to bypass the deep lying center back. Tipp in that past caused us problems using a tactic on Brick by withdrawing Noel McGrath into the center of the field and pushing on their wing forwards. This left Brick with the option of staying at home and covering the space, thereby giving Noel McGrath freedom in midfield with time and space to hurt us with good quality ball or to follow him out and leave a gaping hole in front of our full back line. This type of tactic gave rise to the sweeper system.

I agree that ground hurling has gone out of the game , but that is because the current game is so much about possession. When rucks form, which they do quite regularly, the option of pulling on the ball is gone as the first player who tires it is going to be penalized and possibly booked for dangerous play. I noticed in the recent games that KK seem to have adopted the tactic of almost stamping the ball into the ground to prevent it being moved.

Having looked again and again st last Sunday's game feel the areas we need to tweak are :

- We need a minimum of two in the full forward line and the ball into them has to be into area not right out in the corner but in the general vicinity, because the full back will think twice about abandoning his station in front of goal to support his corner back, At least then we have one on one battles. A big key in this is that when we get the balls in we must have serious support runners coming through the center, and this is where the likes of Moran, Shanahan and Gleeson, have a big part to play.

The experiment with withdrawing Colin Dunford to midfield is not working - he lacks the ability to score from distance, and two many times uses up his touch to son and ends up striking for scores off the hurley. Playing him in the corner though is a different matter entirely and no corner back will like to be isolated on him because he is direct, aggressive and has a good first touch. We should ensure that the opposition sweeper or deep lying center back as the case may be has effectively got someone close to them to ensure that they are occupied, and also give us the option of a man breaking through the center in support of the corner backs when they get the ball - fro me Stephen Bennett would be ideal in this role.

Finally agree that the experiment with Barrett did not work last Sunday, but i feel this had much to do with Match practice and being up to speed. I genuinely feel that Darragh Fives would have suffered from the same problem. Think last Sunday will have done Barrett the world of good. I have seen him in some challenge games recently and he was very effective, so would not be writing him off just yet. As regards Fives the sooner we get more game time out of him the better but do not want him breaking down again so soon. Fives to wing back and Gleeson to Center Field / Half Forward sounds very appetizing.

There is alot of hurling to be done this year yet, let's focus on Dublin and if we get past them, then we will worry about KK.

Fair enough, but would be an option if you wanted to push Moran up front later in the game
if you were behind like we were on Sunday, going into last 10 mins

Jjjjjjjbarry

I think pushing Aussie up in the forwards might be worth the gamble while the risk is changing a defensive line that has worked well.

We have lads who can step into half back but we need a bit of spark and fire up front and he might be the man to do it. He'd be a handful for any defense and that would free up Maurice, Bennett etc a bit more to pick off medium range points and might give Dunford more freedom to run at goals.
At present we might just be a bit too predictable in attack but the one thing with Aussie is that he's unpredictable and that's a forwards biggest weapon :cool:

Good question... I would nearly just go into any of the bars that show sports, or one of the hotel bars and just ask if there's any chance they might stick it on. A lad I know does this all the time, and unless there's something being actively watched, they are often happy enough to oblige, as long as you've bought a drink.

Twiceasnice97

derek mcgrath needs to hold his nerve here.
the reason waterford lost is because they hit bad wides when tipp were in disarray.
the waterford system had tipps backs in a mess. padraic maher showed for certain that he cant play as the sweeper as his distribution was cat.

if waterford had taken the three or four points they should have gotten tipp would almost certainly have been in serious trouble mentally

I've said it many times - I love seeing the clueless supporters at the games. We were all new to the game at some point and some fella without a clue shouting in the stands might very well be an intelligent hurling fan in a couple of years.

Now fellas knocking hurlers is a different story altogether. There was a guy near me in the terrace giving out about Maurice at the start of the game. Sure what could he do fighting for ball outnumbered by Tipp men?! It turns out he could still score 3 points from play which was great in a way to shut him up, but it's beside the point really. Lads should be allowed to have bad games and people are entitled to criticise them, but not to get at all nasty about it.

Would try Nicky O'Regans (Iggy's Father's) in the Mayors Walk between Barrack Street and Ballybricken they have a few tellys and while there is nearly always racing on they normally have one on the GAA, a good pub and normally a grand place to watch a game.

Don't know about that. I've been to over a hundred Waterford matches at various levels over the years and I still feel like I know nothing about it.

Why is the Limerick vs Tipperary u21 semi on Thursday and ours on Wednesday, they could of easily put the 2 on Thursday giving our senior players another days rest

If we play to our ability 2morrow we will win as this is not a really strong Clare team but they still have class such as Shane o donnell. Our senior players will be hurting since Sunday. Cusack park is also a hard place to beat Clare. Hope it's not a draw

A lot to do with it being the weekend of the 12th (holidays for many in North)

And people used send there teenagers in many cases away for that weekend (sometimes Leinster finals) so not to have them around getting into trouble/riots....this is one of the gaas good points for many in the north

Got my tickets today, in Super Valu in the city. Section 210 which isnt fantastic but i needed to get a good few tickets and got caught for the Munster Final, left it too late and ended up in the terrace, which was good craic but with the double header the seat is more appealing.

AFAIK there's minor on at 12 (think its Limerick)

Have a feeling both brick and Shane o Sullivan will call it a day at the end of the season. Kevin Moran hopefully has about 3-4 years left
