Big ask though if it's Jamie Barron and Kearney midfield, they'll be up against Brendan Maher and Michael Breen, 2 big lads.

Barron is in the form of his life. He has been excellent in the first two games so have no fears there. I think Dunford will be beside him and Kearney will be in a deeper role aswell just further forward. My worry would be our strength in dept I think our bench isn't as strong as we think. Devine, O Halloran, 2 Roches, Gavin O Brien and we'll be struggling a bit after that. It will be interesting to see how Tipp combat our set up? They struggled for alot of the Munster final last year and only for Bubbles coming deeper in the second half we were well in it without having a go in the last 10 mins when the game was in the melting pot.

They'll surely have to have a rethink on the direct style of play against Kilkenny last year, would suit Waterford down to the ground you'd have to think.

I think we are a bit light upfront with that team, but glad to be proved wrong

Well that scoreline fron croke park tonight pretty much confirms we need to win one of our last 3 games to secure a QF place anyway...

A win or draw is a must tomorrow to take pressure off us. Dublin will be a tough game

Waterford 0-11 Wexford 0-12 FT in the football. A second one point defeat of the campaign against highly fancied opposition.

Best of luck to Derek and the lads today in Thurles.

Is it me or is McGrath not utilizing his panel? Surely he could play three or four new guys? He could end up like Justin in calling in guys that have no match time experience. The likes of brick, Connors and Moran could all be rested at different stages.

I'd like to see a few more players getting action too but I can understand their want to ensure qualifying for qf's first. The more competitive games we can get before the championship the better. I would like to see a few more get action though, McNulty, Kieran Bennett, Tom Devine, Tommy Ryan. All of these could do with playing a league game or 2, as well as Kearney getting his chance today. And I don't mean 5 or 10 mins here and there, a meaningful run like 50 mins or so would tell a lot as to where they are at. Hopefully if get a win today might see some few changes. Important to have some depth to the panel come championship. Mahony will add another dimension if gets back to match fitness but no guarantee of that this year.
