Super performance from our boys today. 2 more points and were back in division 1. Glory days are on the way. Remarkable impact by O Neill. Should be made an honoury Galway man. Fairplay to Joycey for giving O Neil such latitude.

With the Rossies and Derry draw were in for a grand stand finish. Don't blink !!
Why was Shane taken off? Thought he was motoring well.

He wasn't really in the game apart from the pass for Finnertys goal

If we lose Shane to injury our goose is well and truly cooked for league and championship.
Were a bang on average division 2 without him on his game.

No kickout strategy, no Midfield, holes right through our defence, no one laying a hand on runners, no one supporting our man in possesion, a very limited bench.. we are in disarray.
Molloy J Daly with ball in hand or only bright spots.

Kickouts last week all short. At least Conor Flaherty varied it today. Defence was solid and turned over an amount of ball. Ref quite picky. We do lack forward depth and would be worried where we will get scores if Shane or Damo are not firing. For all the negativity on these types of fora we are top of the division and cannot really ask for much more than that.

Replying To SamandLiamSoon: "Hardly lost our own kickout all game other than a couple of poor ones from Fla? Is retaining the possession not the strategy?" We lost three long kick outs at midfield our own, another out over the sideline.. watching Mayos pressing game last night, we will be destroyed here. Its not all Flahertys fault, we were headless in making runs..
There is no leadership on that team...

Our chances will be slim without Shane. We need him big timeto continue to paperover the cracks.
On our last 2 displays Mayo will be having nightmares about an early exit from championship

just home from tuam and till be awhile before im in it again..
on todays performance my judgement was confirmed on this galway team and management.
in terms of s&c., overall fitness., physicality and bite we are miles away from where we need to be to compete
will the best teams in division 1..
what is our style of play?? our transition from defence to attack is pathetic..comer was one on one at least
two if not three times in the first half and we didnt kick it into him when we over turned possession..
the balance of the team in my opinion is off..
gallagher not a 15.
paul kelly not midfielder
heaney better at 7 but was one of our better players today.
liam silke looks lost at 3.
anytime clare ran at us we backed off and didnt lay a hand on them...simple basic stuff like
tracking runners.,comer and kieron molloy the only two too get stuck in and not afraid to throw there
weight around..our TACKLING is terrible., a minor team can tackle much better then our seniors..
whatever about the rest of the league we have no business going down to castlebar in 6 weeks time
performing like this.,mayo will beat us down to cork city playing second gear if we do..
the standard was just absolutely woful and the finger must be pointed at the management.
what the hell is cian o neill/divilly trying to achieve in terms of coaching.,and i wont even mention
what concannon is suppost to be doing..
out skill levels where terrible.,it was actually laughable..
shane walsh lads is carrying an injury and needs a break..
he shouldnt play the rest of the league.,end of story..
for next week we need to start fitzgerald full back..
tierney to midfield with conroy
sean kelly wing back.
o laoi to start also
only bright sparks today was molloy.,john daly, heaney.,tierney at times plus its great to see comer
finding form and scoring goals again.,lets hope he can stay injury free from now on..
on a side note as i was walking in before the game., i met a young man who had 5 kids with him
but he assumed he could buy his ticket at the ground as did so many others..
its an absolute joke that tickets are not made available there and then for supporters especially for
the pensioners..joke.

How did Johnny Heaney go at wing forward, will he stay up there?
It will be interesting to see how the next two games go, but the willingness to win dirty ball will be clear
Lads saying last week that we would be slaughtered by Clare, well that was handy enough
Hope Dylan Canney gets more time in the next two weeks
Has a good mixture of ability and attitude
Keep it going Galway

You'd swear we were a 15 point worse team than Mayo and on to a hiding in 5 weeks time. A lot smarter people have the price around 4/6 Mayo and Galway at 6/4 to win the game, making Mayo about a 2 point favourite. No need for panic.

Disappointing performance overall as Clare are a poor enough team and only had their first point from play in the 70th minute. Galway should be beating them by 10+ points if they have any ambitions of breaking into the top 4 - 5 counties - we're probably only in the top 10 now and Shane Walsh not scoring from either play or frees for the the second match in a row is very worrying. Is he carrying an injury? I know he limped off today so hopefully its not too serious as without him in good form we are gone for the year.

On the tickets I agree there should be opportunity to purchase at the match venue (as some do decide to go on game day) but it has been well flagged since the start of the league that no venue will have tickets for sale at the match venue. Bit of a strange one but same for all league matches.
