KERRY SELECTOR MIKEY Sheehy has stated that Tommy Walsh will not line out at full-back this year.
Kingdom manager Eamon Fitzmaurice suggested earlier in the year that the 2008 Young Footballer of the Year could be suited to playing at either full-back or centre-back, but Sheehy admits Walsh isn’t suited to it.
“Not at the moment,” the former Kerry star said.
“It has been said before, I have heard several people saying it, but we haven’t tried it yet anyway.”
“You can pick a guy at number three but he need not necessarily be playing number 3 the way guys have to change positions. Defensively we will have to improve, we’ll be hoping to do that in the championship.”
Kerry fans are eager to see Walsh return to the starting fold for Kerry but Sheehy has asked for supporters to be patient.
“People are going to have to be patient with Tommy. He’s been away since the end of 2009. It’s a different game.”
Two years ago he had a very serious injury. He tore his hamstring off the bone.
“He’s fine fitness-wise but we have to be patient with him in relation to his football. He’ll have a major role to play at some stage during the year.”
Other questions revolving around Fitzmaurice’s team selection for the Munster SFC semi-final includes the debate about whether or not Paul Galvin has a place in the side.
Sheehy didn’t give much away ahead of Sunday’s trip to Semple Stadium, citing that players’ performances in training are much more important than their reputations.
“It gives us another option up front. He was out of football for a year but Paul is one of these guys who looks after himself very well, came back in great condition. He’s working very hard.”
What I would like to think about us as a management is that we’ll be consistent like we were since 2013. No matter who you are, reputations count for nothing. Whoever is playing well in training and in the A v B games will get the jersey.
Scousers don’t care about this game. More interested in Utd losing to Spurs.
@Olllie B: No not really you don’t have to be from Liverpool to be scouser. Northern Europe sailors brought a stew recipe to ports in England but mostly Liverpool. The dish was called Lobscouse. Those people in Liverpool who ate it were called Scousers.
Huddersfield fans out in force I see… who knew?
Come on Huddersfield
Well its Huddersfield for me…
If Klopp loses this…he’ll have to walk alone !!
@dannyboy: never!!
@Joe Kennedy: tbf Klopp is a joke at this stage.
But but but No Coutinho??? Ahhhh sure the January transfer window is nearly upon us so his back is probably playing up again
@powerfix: numbskull
If that defence is correct, I give up.
Im not even sure Lovren shagging Klopps missus would put him out of the team, Might be his downfall.
So Lovern’s punishment for being absolutely useless last week and costing his team 2 goals is to be rewarded with another start? The mind boggles
@Brian O’Loughlin: its common knowledge amongst real pool fans that lovern’s Mrs ran off another guy. So idiots here should really give him a break.
$hit happens to everyone from every walk of life. If things happen in your personal life that effect your performance or prevent you from doing your job properly you shouldn’t be there. Would you want a depressed pilot flying your plane? How is putting him in the firing line supposed to help him anyway? If anything it will make him worse
@Mr Nimziki: oh lord. You drop him till his heads right ffs.
@Nial D: so kick a man when he’s down is the answer
Klopp took off Lovren after 30 mins last week but now he’s starting again wttttfff
Sacked by your best man…,you’re getting sacked by your best man … sacked by your besssst mannnnnnnn ..you’re getting sacked by your besssst mannnnnnnnn….
@powerfix: nitwit
@powerfix: Jeez. My 12yr old has more imagination, and he’s far less childish than that. I’d say your parents are very proud.
If we don’t win kiss top 4 goodbye YNWA
@Ollie Watson: that ship sailed ages ago dude. Ye will be lucky to nick Thursday night ball next season.
Well wagner said he best friends with klippty that goal proved it
Is Coutinho dropped?
@Nollaig Elliot: “injured”
Time to get a run going after some recent blips
Glad for Sturidge to score his first goal in two months great player
