Was no goal, good game, i think we just about deserved it. Wexford's accuracy let them down more than anything.

Definitely wasn't a goal, awful umpiring decision. But look how many wides ye hit, some brutal bad wides from frees too. You have to help yourself too in this world. Ye had more than enough chances to get something from this game. Delighted for Hetherton today, he's been one of the best hurlers in Dublin for a good few years now.

The funny thing is that I don't think we even hurled that badly, just were undone by not having a full-back

Hard to imagine Dublin could have played any better considering they were missing Sutcliffe and Dónal Burke, 4 wides and 3-26 is nigh-on unbelievable although our strategy on their puck-outs was terrible and handed them a few easy scores

Felt like we starved Rory and Cian Byrne of good possession again, hard for them to do much if there isn't much good ball going in there in the first place

We shot ourselves in the foot with the penalty, think if we had Jippo at 3 and Conor Foley at wing-back, we wouldn't have given away those goals so easily

Have to win out now to have any chance of getting into a Leinster Final, don't think it's beyond us but need to start Jippo at full-back next time and cut out the wides, our shooting was a lot better last week, seemed to lose composure when the goals went in

Chin looked to have broken his finger the second time he went off he really didn't look comfortable. I couldn't see from where I was to see the pen but saw pics and is a disgrace. How yer man hitting chin in the throat got away with it is scandalous. I do think the dubs were better and Rossi was slow on the line I would have had jippo on at ht. foley really struggled. Shooting again an issue.

Even Chin as good as he was had two bad wides at a really crucial stage

I think Dublin just about deserved the win but having said that take out the ghost goal and a few really soft frees they got in the last 10-15 mins and we could still could have snuck it. The frees really broke up any kind of fight back and momentum. I can't believe the only player that got called for over carrying was Rory.

Jippo definitely should have been on from half time. What's with us conceding puck outs and not really pressuring and closing down?

Not everything is lost, winning out from here is still possible. Unlikely but our fate is still in our own hands mostly. Jippo and Mac back the next day will strengthen things a lot.

How did Liam Ryan not start on Hetherton is he was able to come on for the last 15mins, sure the damage was all done at that stage??

Conor Foley is too much of a hurler for Hetheron, it was the losing of the game. Ryan would have broke a hurl off him in the first half if he put the hand up that much.

We scored 4-19, which is good but you can't give away 3-26.

Dreadful two missed frees in front of the goal in second half. But spine of the defence was the big problem yet again.

Replying To Yellowhelmet:  "Very frustrating we did not push up. What they didn't win clean in the air their half forward line won the breaking ball.

Galways big men could have a field day in 2 weeks."
All our backs are under 6ft.
Mat O Hanlon, Pauline Foley, Gypo all over 6ft.

Defence starts with attack

Considering all the time he missed they probably didnt want to rush jippo on but dublin were better this evening and could of being a few points ahead at half time. Every time the ball went in around the square dublin looked like scoring and scored way too easy. Dublins biggest problem is lack of fowards and wexfords defense had a really tough evening. Jippo isn't superman there was fires everywhere. Rorys goal could easily have being a free out for steps. I camt understand with everyone in the backroom team how no one could see giving dublin so many of their own puckouts was absolutely killing further up the field. So much goes thru chin i dont know where the next lee will come from.

Chin looked like he had a nasty finger injury if it's broke he will be under pressure I'd say. Cleaned out in the physicality stakes around the middle third and Dublin looked like they could win every high ball in. In fairness Hetherton took his chances well. For Wexford, it was a step back for that team unfortunately.

Brutal stuff, Charlie done the hard work breaks out past 2 lads and turns back towards his own goals and hand passed it to the Dublin forward.

I know Cathal Dunbar got 1-1 but he gave about 4 or 5 simple balls away in the first half that all lead to Dublin scores.

We have zero composure on the ball.
Everything is all panicky and fluffed.

He played till the end so hopefully he's OK because without him we will be in trouble in all the games and should Antrim get a result then we are looking over our shoulder again

Agreed. Composure is poor.

Also don't see where simon d fits into the team. 2 points yes but having no impact on the game otherwise
