So lads whats our thoughts and feelings towards sunday is there many heading up?i know a good few making a weekend out of it.
I think we'll give a good account of ourselves.I was suprised jason cleere wasnt given a run last sunday as there was talk he was going well.Galway havent done much yet this year but they have 6 very good fowards with size and pace that will cause most teams trouble.If we win sunday people will say we had momentum since the 2nd round of the leauge and if we lose it could be galway were fresher and injuries and fatigue caught up with us but probably better meeting galway now than later in the year either way we'll have a good idea sunday evening where we stand.
Hopefully wallys injury isnt serious and he was holding him back for sunday

Heard Wally out for a few weeks with quad injury and Ger Aylward damaged his knee in workout against u21s last night. That narrows down forward options.

I was reading on the independent today hogan could be in line to make the match day squad after coming through the match against the 21s without any setbacks

We now have TJ Reid, Walter Walsh , John Donnelly, Ger Alyward, Luke Scanlan, Bill Sheehan, Ritchie leahy, Ritchie Hogan, Ger Fennelly Mossy Keoghan, Liam Blanchfield and the younger Murphy 13 players vying for 6 starting places. Personally I would start Reid, Walsh Keoghan Scanlan Blanchfield Donnelly.

To be fair Ger Fennelly must be well in his 60's now so I'd agree with leaving him on the line as an impact sub!

I think he meant to refer to Colin.

Kevin Kelly another guy to come back in.

tbiggertycome · 25-05-2018 1:26pm

Injury reports:
Enda Morrissey has Glandular fever so he's gone for a month or two at least.
Wally is unlikely to be ready for the team this weekend. Hopefully this is wrong
Lester Ryan is like Wally unlikely to make it but perhaps just a slightly better chance than Wally.
Ger Aylward unlikely to be ready after injury picked up on Monday against the U21's
Kevin Kelly not ready yet but not too far off
Conor Fogarty should be ready
James Maher should be ready hopefully
Richie Hogan will hopefully be ready for a place on the bench.

I think that will leave us with a team like
Murphy
Holden, Walsh, Deegan
Delaney, Buckley, Murphy
Fogarty, Maher
Fennelly, Reid, Keoghan
Donnelly, Blanchfield, Scanlon

Subs
Brennan
J Cleere
C O'Shea
R Lennon
C Browne
R Leahy
R Hogan
B Sheehan
P Lyng

That leaves us 2 subs short and there are loads you could throw in to those spots.
Jason Cleere continued to impress in training against the U21's I wouldn't be shocked if he started. I would expect him to be the first defender in.

Some load of b****x this post

Don't be a nasty git.

JJs Left Hand · 25-05-2018 9:24pm

Disappointed Leahy is dropped. Hope we're not playing lads who aren't properly fit

I'm not surprised Morrissey is in ahead of Joey but I am surprised Leahy doesnt start. Wally is ok afaik but from what thebiggertheycome says o hope Morrissey is ok too.
Maybe cody sees it that bringing in Leahy, fennelly and possibly hogan m8ght make an impact. In fairness after last week Scanlon deserves another pop and blanch although he should have had a few more goals he hurled very well and his 1st touch was good.

peakedatU12 · 25-05-2018 9:45pm

Strong team - really strong bench (if subs are all fully fit & on form). As tough a test as is out there Sunday. Will be some statement if they can pull it off.

Thanks very much.

I'd heard the Enda Morrissey bit from a lad who is usually spot on we can all get things wrong. It's great he's ready
The rest was not far off, Wally was touch and go and thankfully he made it.
Lester is on the bench
Ger Aylward is gone
Kevin Kelly not ready
Fogarty ready
Maher ready
Hogan on the bench

Murphy
Morrissey, Walsh, Deegan
Delaney, Buckley, Murphy
Fogarty, Maher
Fennelly, Reid, Keoghan
Donnelly, Blanchfield, Scanlon
Not too far off but I'm not Cody so it's never going to be 100%

brookville · 25-05-2018 10:26pm

Infairness your usually spot on with news from the camp and its usually hard to get any info.i was told during the week that wally and maher would be playing but i wouldnt be shocked to hear leahy starting for maher before throw in.Best of luck to the lads we have nice strenght on the bench.I think morrissey is worth a try corner back but some baptism going in on conor whelan.Its maybe a pity we didnt try more corner backs during the league.
Its a big ask sunday this galway team is together 3 or 4 years but id be hopeful we'll give them a rattle.

Will you ever fcuk off?

Pat Treacy · 26-05-2018 5:27pm

The best of luck to the team management in Salthill I know ye will do us proud.

mullinr2 · 26-05-2018 7:35pm

If our full back line can hold their own, then I give us a good chance tomorrow. With hogan and Fennelly to come on, we should give the Galway backs plenty to worry about.
Still think Galway will win by about 5 points

Cornerback1 · 26-05-2018 7:59pm

Galway couldn't buy a goal last year but are banging them in for fun this year. If we can keep the goals out, we're in with a decent chance. Need to keep it tight at the back especially in the first half.

Big game but good luck to all concerned.

usualstripes · 27-05-2018 1:07pm

I would expect fennelly and Leahy to be in early enough. It all depends if Walter gets the nod to start. Blanch and Scanlon deserve to start after last week even if blanch should have scored at least two more goals. His open play was very good.

And I saw enough positives over the league campaign to suggest we are in a stronger position this year than where we were last year.

As an aside I am intrigued by your reasoning for downgrading Tipp to 4th/5th team in Munster, on your own admission (incorrectly but how and ever) they had a depleted team out with only one of their starting forwards and you were fully expectant that KK would win comfortably so on what basis are you reassessing their ranking in Munster and what exactly have any of the other 4 done to overtake them??[/QUOTE]

You were "intrigued" by my downgrading of Tipperary (a few months ago) to not being in the top 3 in Munster and any explanation I offered was rubbished by you. I hope that your intrigue is now satisfied.

Great supporter, on a kk thread during a match to gloat that his own team is ****.

usualstripes · 27-05-2018 4:52pm

Jaysus our half forward line were cleaned in the 1st half. Backs under serious pressure from long puckouts and galway uning the wide ball. Hopefully we start getting more possession in the 2nd half. Fennelly in in place of Donnelly who was quiet. Scanlon doing well but we need to up intensity

mullinr2 · 27-05-2018 5:00pm

We are poor again lads

mullinr2 · 27-05-2018 5:05pm

We're dreadful from open play

Garyp88 · 27-05-2018 5:28pm

As much as we have been poor aiden harte should have been red carded and so should mcinerney. Also why was Walshs goal disallowed. We made Galway look good

He dropped the hurley on the handpass

mullinr2 · 27-05-2018 5:34pm

I'd put us behind
1. Galway
2. Tipp
3. Limerick
4. Cork
5. Clare
6. Wexford

Just desperate stuff from open play. You can't win matches with frees. Shocking and gutless
performance.
1 score from play in second half

me89 · 27-05-2018 5:36pm

Forwards bar Wally were bullied out of it. Very poor all round

kksaints · 27-05-2018 5:41pm

Reality check there. Forwards were awful from open play only Wally did well enough. Padraig Walsh exposed again at centre back. Wexford match is crucial now.
