It is vital to nullify the extra defender’s role and get good ball to Conor Mac, and if Lee Chin can continue to excel in his deep centre role and we use direct ball to bypass the sweeper, it could have a huge impact on the game.
We will also need to defend in numbers as Waterford (when in the zone) move forward very quickly. The approach used in the league quarter-final was effective and the first 20 minutes will be vital to sow a few more seeds of doubt in the opposition mind.
Gleeson will need to be monitored wherever he is playing, and the free count kept to a minimum.
So, going back to my original question I feel we need to reinforce any doubts early but my gut feeling is that the Waterford reaction will be positive and they may have a little too much in the tank when Sunday comes.
But by God we have learned about the honesty and passion of these Wexford men over the past few weeks and the ability is there to make it an uncomfortable afternoon for the men in blue and white.
The Minors have the ability to get the day off to a positive start even without captain Rory O’Connor, and good luck to every Wexford man who hits the hallowed Thurles sod.
We will strike every ball with you. Up Wexford.
