A win is a win... O conhaile at it again taking ridiculous pot shots.. We made some absolutely terrible handling errors.. In fairness Glynn and O Currain made difference. May see Comer togging for next game .. Will need to tighten up more for Kerry.. Galwaymaster9 (Galway) - Posts: 397 - 03/03/2024 17:49:26 2529485 Link 0 |
Expected win for Galway against a Monaghan side in a bad place. Got the breaks on all three goals 1st as on another day they could have bounced away or into the hands of a Monaghan. Closed the game out well then 2nd half with that 6 point half time cushion. Drax_the_destroyer (UK) - Posts: 198 - 03/03/2024 17:54:44 2529488 Link 1 |

Different views are a good thing, but for me a midfielder covering from 21 to 21 and linking play is massive, his coverage also on high ball into the square was solid, we've had issues with this before. John also got a goal, and I'd take that performance every week.

On all known form Roscommon will not get a result v Kerry, or away to Derry.

I' d have given it to Daly or McHugh. Sean Kelly was good as well. I'll post my full thoughts later on a game I didn't think we were great in smallfrank (Galway) - Posts: 429 - 03/03/2024 18:29:19 2529502 Link 0 |
It was much the same level of performance today imo as we got against Derry. Two decent performances with a lot of fringe players involved. A 5 point loss last week turned to a 7 point win this week, because Monaghan are currently vastly inferior to Derry. Pope_Benedict (Galway) - Posts: 3820 - 03/03/2024 18:38:58 2529510 Link 0 |
Depends if Derry are interested or not on the final day. They might be in a league final the following weekend.

Not sure I've ever been as confident in a player kicking frees from the hand as O'Curraoin. He's very accurate with them. Marooned (Galway) - Posts: 2261 - 03/03/2024 19:05:00 2529520 Link 1 |
Is our kit man from Annaghdown out for the league as well. I haven't seen him on duty this year smallfrank (Galway) - Posts: 429 - 03/03/2024 19:13:32 2529523 Link 0 |
Good win gave lots of ball away 2 day and going into contact with ball still good 2 win plenty to improve on without doubt man of match had 2 be Rory Cunningham 1-03 from play 4 shots 4 scores even near end of game back clearing ball in his own back line ,, it definitely make u wonder why he not introduced v Roscommon last 20 mins when Galway had a hurricane of a wind with them ,, Kickitout (Galway) - Posts: 921 - 03/03/2024 19:28:52 2529530 Link 1 |
O'Conghaile will come good in time, he is taking some bad options at the minute but he is normally very sharp and is a proper talent.

Gleeson best day in a long time, he did very well when we did not have Conroy or Tierney to aim at. The turnovers and sloppy passes were shocking and some of the young lads are not strong enough yet taking ball into contact. Still we deserved a bit of luck for a change. It will be some feat if we can stay up in spite of all the injuries. giveitlong (Galway) - Posts: 1254 - 03/03/2024 19:44:18 2529538 Link 1 |
Dropped I believe

He got replaced by someone else I believe.

Well O'Conghaile needs to cop on a bit with his shot selection, it looks like juvenile level shot decision making much of the time, and he needs to put in some serious graft in his own time simply on shooting. Just repeatedly splitting the posts. He needs hard work to get that radar in but is capable of it. Not good enough or cute enough just yet but you'd have hope for him and I hope he gets there.

Agree with a lot of this, it wasn't a great performance and we needed the goals. 1. Gleeson, solid enough but kick outs are definitely a problem. When we needed possession today he just bombed them out and Darren Hughes won the ball particularly after half time. It will cost us in the summer. 2. McGrath, brilliant again on a top forward. One of the first names on the team sheet. 3. Fitzgerald, not as good as previous games. 4. Mulkerrin Caught out a few times and taken off before half time. 5. McHugh, our HB line was our strongest. I thought he was back to his best today. 6. Daly Brilliant defending and covering of space today and always with the head up when carrying the ball. 7. O'Flaherty Very good again today, couple of sloppy moments. Very well conditioned even up against the Monaghan lads. 8. Kelly, good to see him back. Had an OK game. 9. Maher Turned over ball cheaply today but to be fair to him ran himself into the ground. 10. Heaney, slowed up the play a lot I thought and didn't break the line. HF line was our weakest today. 11. Darcy I was watching him off the ball making runs and he couldn't get out in front. Good hearted player but can't see him make the team when everyone's available. 12. Sweeney, mixed the great with the bad, some brilliant cameos and some poor handling. Another who ran himself into the ground. 13. Finnerty, was limping very early and very reluctant to shoot. I don't think he is kicking on at all, huge potential 14. Daly, not great today. Caught for pace a few times. Not sure of his best position. 15. Cunningham, one of the only ones prepared to pull the trigger(will they coach that out of him). One small thing and it's not his fault. Does not have the IC conditioning yet and it was visible today. Got pushed out over the line at one stage. Needs time. Glynn, great cameo, very sticky and carried well Molloy, sloppy enough with possession and tackling, needs time O'Curraion, looks in great shape and very accurate O'Conghaile, worked hard but very erratic shooting Egan, looks the part when carrying the ball, good to see him get a run. Poor enough day on the line. Kick out strategy non existent even when a man up. Black Card, extra player second week in a row and we did not capitalise or have any plan Very ponderous and cautious forward play. Guys very reluctant to shoot smallfrank (Galway) - Posts: 429 - 03/03/2024 20:42:38 2529561 Link 1 |
This aged well, Jellybaby! Cunningham was most certainly good enough today. Hope he can build on it.
