I think we showed in the league match how to beat Wexford. Keep plenty of men behind the ball on their attacks. Let them take the ball in to contact when we have lots of defenders, play breaks down then we attact them up the wings with fast ball. Wexford love runners off the ball and quick passes in to space. Crowd our defence and hit them quick like we did in the first half of the league game especially. Yes they will score long range points but will have plenty of wides too. If their running game is frustrated we will beat them. Midfield pairing of Leahy and Reid will do for me. Good men to track back and defend and then to launch quick attacks. Codys team for Saturday. Murphy, deegan, lawlor, walsh, Browne walsh, Corcoran, Reid, Leahy, keoghan, Walter, Donnelly, Bergin, Tj, Ryan. Not sure of injuries but Cody won't stray too far from the team that started the league game.
Looking at the weekends matches it looks like teams were paying different attention to the league than others.Laois were very poor but still got a healthy score.Its a huge game for us and it's hard to call.Id say the team that started against clare won't be far from this weekend but donnelly should be back. Tactically this will be intriguing.Have we really learned how to play against this running game?Will we give up puckouts like teams are doing now?have we learned from the clare game?puckouts,delivery's etc?
Mullens injury the last day was more of a precaution.Leahy and Richie Reid probably be midfield.Hopefully we get it spot on this weekend but I'd be worried bout our defence.
This game is absolutely massive. KK or Wexford will not come out the back door route. Possibly Davys last tilt at a Leinster with Wexford or Brian Cody's with Kilkenny. I would have Cody and Mullen ahead of Bergin every day of the week.

Can't see Wally being involved. Mullen and Cody would be ahead of him
I wonder if today's announcements end the 8k proposal?
Also, the 2020 Leinster Minor Final versus Offaly has been brought forward to 12 noon on Sat in Portlaoise.
With no cameras now in Portlaoise on Sat, I fear live coverage access to this match is now looking unlikely.
GAAGO doesn't have it (as yet) on their list for this week.
That's great.
TBH I am looking forward to it more than the senior.
The winner goes straight to AI final the following weekend
AI semi between Galway and Limerick is on TG4 on Friday night.
Galway yet again look very strong, seven of 2019 minors that won the AI trouncing all comers, starting.
Including four of the starting forwards.
