I know we should have done better defensively but we weren't that far behind Galway and small margins win matches. I think some some of the criticism of AC is over the top. Every great team needs a great player and we don't have a Dermot Early or Shane Walsh. MachaireConnacht (Roscommon) - Posts: 784 - 24/07/2022 21:39:21 2434075 Link 0 |

Come on we were 9/10 points down at one stage against Galway. Yes the lads never gave up and kept fighting. We have been conceding big scores all year. Even during the league very average teams were walking through us. If we don't cop on and sort out the big issues in our team then we will get an awful kicking back down to division 2 next year. Cunningham needs to take a very close look at what Joyce and O'Connor have done this year with bringing in a top top defensive coach that's proven. We have good forwards on their day but to many times our big players go missing. Cunningham has lots of work to do if he stays on but he knows if he fails again next year he is gone.

Now that the county season is over, would anyone like to have a go at completing the following for county Roscommon. Could we keep it positive folks as all of the players gave their all for Roscommon this year, and some were obviously more successful than others. letsgetgoing (Roscommon) - Posts: 506 - 25/07/2022 11:30:28 2434158 Link 0 |

We are miles off that Galway team, let's be honest. Based on performances this year only Ciarain Murtagh and Ultan Harney would have any chance of making their starting fifteen.

True and I agree we were far too easy to play through but we had a good few chances early in that game that we missed through lack of composure. I'm not saying we would have won but that sucked life out of us while they opened up a gap which played perfectly into their style of play. I can't remember what game it was, but a few years ago Brolly was analysing Roscommon misses in a Connacht championship game, I think it actually was our 2018 defeat to Galway in the Hyde. Roscommon got into good scoring positions but we missed chances either by making the wrong pass or rushing shots. Brolly commented that there was nearly too much emotion in Roscommon's play. A lot of the time, especially in big games it seems like the occassion gets to us. I think we were being tipped to win that game to get back to back Connachts with the game on home soil. Some of our scoring attemps in Salthill this year in the first half were like that and some in the first half against Clare as well. We definitely need some defensive expertise in the coaching team but we also need something on the sports psychology end of things as well. Galway, Derry and Armagh would have believed they could beat anybody they met in Croke Park this year, Roscommon just don't have that same belief.

Manager of the year -- our own AC, with his county winning the Connacht title, or was it Henry, with his beloved KK winning Leinster?

We shouldn't be miles off Galway. That's for sure. Galway had 1 Forward, 1 Midfielder, a couple of good defenders, a dodgy goalie and no subs of worth last Sunday. Galway are beatable and indeed there's no great team around at the moment. Kerry are ordinary enough themselves without David Clifford. Roscommon are underachieving with what we have. The team's progress has stalled. That's why a change is needed before opportunity passes a lot of these players by.

I was going to give Lavin most improved, maybe that was better category. Actually some of Keith Doyles points in general were brilliant.

Galway have more than one forward as Roscommon found out but most of them excel when given room to cause damage, Kerry did not give that and while Shane Walsh scored high a number of his scores was unmarkable. Best part of Kerry is their defence they are the bench mark now for everyone and will be the team to beat in 2023. What they conceded in the league and championship this year 0-13,0-11,0-7,1-12,0-14,0-13,1-15,0-13,0-11,0-8,0-13,1-13,0-16 which I think shows the standard of the top team in Ireland. Roscommon aren't underachieving at the other end of the field the scores they produced in a number of games was as high as Kerry and Dublin would score but until things are sorted out defensively no progress will be made regardless of manager.

3 requirements Close marking Stop letting opponent with ball saunter through unchallenged Fast "transition". No more Pearses sideways and backwards walking pace handball. Seanfanbocht (Roscommon) - Posts: 1417 - 27/07/2022 11:05:44 2434794 Link 0 |

We need a massive mentality change to. Once every so often we put in a 70 minute performance with aggression and intensity but 90% of the time we are flakey and only play good hard football for 15/20 minutes a game. After the Clare game flakey was the word I heard everyone call us. That's on the players themselves to get right also.
