    I wouldn’t say disaster as it’s very early days. But we’ve a lot of work to do!

    For a team that was in an all Ireland final a few months back it's an embarrassing performance. Defence were abysmal ,the captain in particular . 5 goals conceded says it all . No threat beyond shooting from distance .

    I know its the first game and all that but our defence looks junior C standard. There is some load of work needed. This beating might be good in the long run...... desperately clutches at straws.

    A well oiled team vs a very rusty one

    Cork are far from a well oil team. Marking was very loose today. Can't give any team the space Cork got

    Flip one of those days, Cork were pretty good tbf and as was said we were very rusty and have a lot of work to do

    We need a big score next week against Westmeath

    Didn't look like a red at all ? Lyons barely touched him.

    That particular ref has previous, he's very fond of showing the cards.

    On the positives, Aussie and Bennett are again in great form. I’m especially happy to see Michael Kiely come on, win his own ball and score a nice point. And in fairness I suppose Kearney deserves a mention considering all the stick we give him. He played well but whether he does it in the championship remains to be seen.

    Defensively and in midfield, we were in trouble. Not one of Calum’s better days but we know what he can do.

    At worst, it was a yellow. Wasn’t Callum’s day even before that.

    In addition to those already favourably mentioned, I thought that Darragh Lyons ‘put in a good shift’, as well as McNulty.

    Pleasing to see Miikey Kearney doing well on his introduction and also delighted to see Kiely come on near the end.

    I wouldn’t blame Prunty for all the goals - his fellow defenders must also shoulder the blame - plus, marking Horgan is a handful for any full back. Today may not do much for Billy Nolan’s confidence but overall, nobody died.

    In general Wford were a long way off the pace.
    The defence was very poor.
    In midfield Cork swallowed up Waterford players when they were in possession, Waterford never got any pressure on the Cork lads.
    Some nice points scored but conceding so many soft goals was worrying.

    Westmeath next week and then a trio of hell in the following rounds

    Limerick (home)
    Galway (away)
    Tipperary (home)

    Lyons pull looked worse in real time. In replay wasn't bad, yellow was enough

    A trio of hell! Nice!

    Form is not for now. I'd expect Waterford to shore up what went on today as they go on.

    Pure utter lunacy the half backs following their men out the field,leaving acres of space in front of full forward line


    Bit of inexperience and obvious not much skills work or collective training done so far.....hard to pick positives up,except the sublime form of stephen bennett,who has picked up where he let off last year


    As someone who tradionally suffered serious enough issues,if he ever gets injured,we're in serious problem

    From the outside looking in Waterford are a tier 1 team with Tadhg de Búrca, tier 2 without him.

    After 10 mins or so,at 3 points each,i could have told yous,our full back line wasnt coping


    Theres no excuse to be shipping 5 goals at this level,no mind 5 goals,whose build up was near identical.....time to stop.the rot is now



    We're likely to be relegated this year in the league and for what end.....its ball winning forwards we need,not inexperienced defenders following their men out field leaving a mile of room infront of an at best average full back line and againest one of best full forwards of last 20 years,who excells in running onto ball in space?

    Will same tactics be repeated vs limerick and how many goals will aaron gillane and limerick full forward line score in such scenario,8 or 10??

    Westmeath will be happy with that. Is there is any relegation this year.

    Some fellas overreacting to what was essentially a Munster League game given the circumstances this year. We'll see where we are come Championship.

    talk of relegation is hysterical, that is essentially predicting we lose to westmeath

    Bit of Arsenal Fan TV vibe to some of the stuff here, just to clarify if Waterford were relegated Laois, Antrim and Westmeath would stay up at their expense.
