Former Tipperary manager Liam Sheedy believes Kilkenny are 'lacking' in the forwards and claimed he doesn't 'see them in the pipeline' at present.
Derek Lyng's side recorded their second win of the Allianz Hurling League campaign on Sunday, beating a resilient Waterford 1-21 to 1-20 in UPMC Nowlan Park. - READ MORE HERE
"Kilkenny are as honest as ever and bring a great attitude to the pitch every time. To me they are lacking up front and are going to ask a 38-year-old (TJ Reid) to come back in," Sheedy said on RTÉ's League Sunday programme.
"They could do with one or two forwards coming through but I just don't see them in the pipeline, so far in the league.

"In the last two All-Ireland semi-finals they were within a puck of a ball of getting to a final. The team that beat them both times went on to win the cup," he continued.
"I don't see the real quality of forwards coming through when you think about the quality of forwards in the game - I don't see Kilkenny having enough.
"Adrian Mullen is a big loss as well. I could not see them having enough to make a consistent push, though the likelihood is they'll be in an All-Ireland semi-final again."
