We played in about 2nd gear yesterday. Upped it to 3rd for a while in the 2nd half to pull away. Well done to Sean Martin on his senior debut as well.
I don't think we'll be as lax in Sunday against Kerry, if we are we'll be on the end of a hiding so expecting us to push up through the gears again. Should give us a good indication of where we are at.
McGee was phenomenal again yesterday. Himself and Hugh will have a point to prove this weekend having missed out from the start last July.
Looking forward to the trip back up to the capital, hopefully we have a sizeable support travelling.

That was criminal in a game which we were coasting in.

Replying To Square_B: "What your thoughts on your hero celebrating the death of former FBI director, Purple Heart recipient & non draft dodger, Robert Mueller? How do people like you square that one up?" I don't care who likes who. None of my business. Just like those on the left that cheered Charlie Kirk's death. There's all types out there.

Replying To totalrecall: "Sure when he goes you can replace him with the dream ticket of Haran and Mulgrew..." Well I guess a wins a win. First goal followed by a few points and thinking was a comfortable day at the office but the goal concessions were very frustrating. Not tracking runners and understanding the real danger. It reminded me a bit of a covid match against monaghan in ballybofey a few years ago. Just way too open.
They tightened things up at the back and unlike last week there was real strength coming off the bench. Mchugh helped though and Shane O'Donnell really helped. He really does conduct the attack and is very hard to dispossess and is very composed. He has lovely control of the ball, very good balance and a nice turn of pace.
Mcgee has been very good the whole way through and monaghan really struggled with his size and power.
The game will have surely helped shea malones confidence as well.
Hopefully mulreanny and mccole are ok for next week and maybe a few others. Kerry will be looking to flex the muscles next week and performance like today wouldn't lead to a pretty result.

Replying To Maroon Heaven: "Speechless after that. Westmeath love the last min drama.
Good luck to Wexford. Can't fault them in our loss. PS. Whittaker and Cooney were immense today." If there are any positives to find from the league campaign it was the performances of Matty Whitaker and Brian Cooney. Overall as a team it has been bitterly disappointing, very frustrating to watch. I try to stay positive but have enough after today

Replying To mintyfresh: "Absolutely disastrous result. To be 8 points up and lose like that. Stuck in Division 3 and not ideal form heading into championship" We are playing with a goalie / 3 defenders / 2 midfielders / 9 forwards / and then to defend our lead of 7 points we introduced 2 more forwards. While the lads were unlucky today, Wexford missed 3 other solid goal chances to our zero. It is no wonder that all the strong teams in the Division have beaten us. Hugely disappointing.

Can we realistically expect progress by tearing the thing up and starting again?
Can't build a house roof first.
Look how long it's taken London to become competitive under Maher.
Co Board wanted rid of McGeeney only for club delegates to back him at a meeting and they went and won Sam.
Today's performance was abject by all means but Longford were one point away from being in Div 4 for 2027 and more moans about how they're going nowhere under Solan.
Look at what Wexford have done today, back to back promotions, they are a team we would have traditionally never been afraid of, home or away.
Disappointing today but reactionary chat doesn't do any good.
Far more cause to be alarmist this day next week by the time the U20s and U17s play again next week. Both campaigns will be sobering.

Much better 2nd half in certain ways but still no forward play at all. Very reliant on finnerty and afraid we are a very ordinary team. A lot of fit and athletic lads but with the new rules not feel we are still missing 2 or 3 more footballers. Of course this is without Walsh, mc daid and comer.

Brian Cooney has had an excellent campaign and was best player on the pitch last week. Didn't have the same influence today but played his part in what should have been a win. Matty Whitaker has that really rare ability to beat most defenders he faces from a standing start. Has ever played at 11, we need a key to unlock Luke Loughlin who has been below his usual high standards?

Replying To Spinx: "I don't think we are ready to go up. We have being gradually improving over the 2 campaigns under Solan. I just think if we go up this year, we'll be straight back down." After the never give up attitude shown today, the last part of my message is null and void!! Fair play to the players, but especially Mike Solan who has, bit by bit rebuilt this team. There will be some good tests for them next year. Onto next week, although it would be great to win a bit of silverware, we have to remember that just getting promoted is a huge huge step forward for this very young squad. Enjoy your night tonight lads as it is richly deserved.

Wasn't expecting that TBH but some performance. Connacht again to have 3 in Division 1 is mighty. Ross and Mayo I believe will be the only teams in Ireland required to beat 2 division 1 teams in order to win provincial title. Avoid injury is the main thing now. Despite heavy defeat today I think Leitrim will have too much for Sligo but in reality Galway are effectively in the final already

Replying To GDL: "Great win, it wasn't looking great for a long time. The changes were positive when they came. Mulhern is a joy, always looking to kick. Rob was brilliant but for the penalty. Finally, we need to sort out the long range frees and get McDaid back." Mulhern I think is getting turned over more than others on the team. He needs a fair bit of strengthening over the winter to hold off the first tackler.

Solid league campaign and finished it on a high against a side who's need was greater.
Lots of new or newish faces who have put their hands up for championship selection.

Replying To galwayman2: "Actually I hadn't noticed beforehand but looking at the bench for the Monaghan game there was only one out and out forward on the bench - Colm Costello.
Very strange" Similar to today's match day squad, apart from Mikey Mulryan there is no inside or out and out scoring forwards on the bench.

Replying To SaffronDon: "Perhaps you could explain what was ignored, I prioritised your point at the start of my reply. You chose one isolated incident, an incident that is also being reported as a punishment for crimes that merit the same death penalty in America, by the way.
Nobody said it was angel vs devil, but America and Israel attacked Iran during negotiations, multiple times. So stop pretending you dont see the oil/empire greedy elephant in the room please." I'm more anti Israel than you so I'm not happy at all with Trump right now as far as that topic goes. Trump attacked the Bush's and Cheneys years ago about all the ENDLESS WARS and I was fully behind him on that so I'm very disappointed that negotiations didn't continue like he did with North Korea in the past.
