Mayo GAA Discussion - Part 4

Hulk Hands

The comparison was silly. Walsh could be argued as the worst of those three and Mayo sacrificed their best player on Saturday to follow him everywhere. If Walsh jumped into the first row of concrete benches around the edge, Keegan would've hopped in beside him. Hardly conductive to getting easy space and ball

Horan said it wouldn't be decided until after the Meath game and there's been no announcement yet.

Is Stephen Coen captain for the year or has it been named yet?

Is Gary Boylan not cutting it in training? He looked good in that game V the underdogs, a few months ago. They were poor opposition, n but he still looked like a player who could make an impact on a full Mayo team..

Carr simply must have some kind of injury fitness issue and is being eased back in
Not even Horan is this mad

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for giving the young bucks a decent run out. The point was more that I had seen more from Carr and even Tommy goals than I had from ROD before those last five minutes.

I think the problem will be trying to fit ROD into the same team as Boland and Kev Mc. Yesterday's half forward line was very light. Come Championship you'd expect a team with more size and strength. James Durcan will also struggle with that in mind.

Agree fully with you regarding Carr and Conroy, not sure why they were hooked. Carr in particular, I was surprised he was taken off against Dublin at half-time, seemed to be holding his own in there. Maybe Horan is asking more of him or it's a fitness issue?

I watched the match yesterday but was at the previous two, had commented that I'd seen nothing from Ryan O'D to impress me. He then did well for the goal but other than five minutes yesterday I've been very underwhelmed. Yet its Carr who is taken off at HT in all three games? To me hes showing a lot better, a bit erratic with his shooting but that should improve with experience.

I'd like to see himself and Conroy on the pitch for a full game where the wind isnt such a big factor. The tactic against Dublin to kick it long to them was good but one dimensional, with both on the pitch it makes it a lot harder for the opposition to mark them

Fair play to McLoughlin, I was roaring at the telly to not take that free but he nailed it. First time in a couple of years we've seen him at the level he was yesterday, great to see.

Keegan is a massive worry, he just hasnt been the same player since that injury

Hennelly - gets way too much abuse, thought his kickouts yesterday and against Dublin were good. Lads holding onto them would help him out a lot

Worrying how we got opened up so easily for both goals and the chance in the first half. Surprised more wasnt made of that, I'm not sure what the exact rule is. It isnt a foot block cause he didnt kick it but I doubt you're allowed kick the ball as someone else drops it to kick it, very unusual case.

I disagree on O'Donoghue. I think he has shown improvements game on game. I thought he did more than just the 5 minutes towards the end setting up McLoughlin twice. He scored a very good point at one point and it seemed to me he was reading the game very well and was picking out decent passes to keep the play moving in the right direction. Just my opinion, but i think he has something but is taking time to build his confidence at this level.

I do agree that he seems to take Carr off too early though!

Either way, Horan is putting his faith in the youth in every game so far, they all need the game time.

Onwards now and i reckon that we need another 4 points from our last 4 games to guarantee safety! :eek:

That’s sports analysis. I felt they played incredibly poorly. This is the problem with us as a county, we constantly accept mediocrity from our team

How is that sports analysis?

X and x were a disgrace today is not analysis

And one of the players you named is a player I have been critical of in the past in analysis of certain games
He was fine yday. He certainly wasn’t a disgrace

The other player you named did not have a great game . You could have pointes out why as I believe some posts before you did
That’s analysis

Do the players owe you something? Do you think that it's for your entertainment that they put their lives temporarily on hold whilst they train 3 times a week and abstain from the vices in life that the rest of us take from granted.

There's definately a disgrace in our midst - but it's not the Mayo team.

You called 2 players a disgrace after the game yday. That was the entire post. What exactly did you think would happen a post of that nature?

There's a pretty strict timeframe for proper recovery from a cruciate, I hope he doesn't do anything too hasty or he'll just break down again.

We need Hennelly to perform and Boyle to be healthy to have any chance. I have a bad feeling I won’t be getting my traditional brekkie in Feericks on the way to Croker this year

Up on the Mayo GAA twittern account.

Following today's game James Horan confirmed Colm Boyle suffered a bad knee injury last weekend against Dublin and is already working hard with the medical team on his rehab.

There's a pretty strict timeframe for proper recovery from a cruciate, I hope he doesn't do anything too hasty or he'll just break down again.

Haha, I think they were saying they were living outside the county, not Eoghan.

One of the up and coming Westport crop James would have worked with recently. Has shown well in underage the last few years, though hadn't heard much hinting at him joining the senior panel so soon relative to the chat around folk like Oisin.

Big vote of confidence in his potential blooding him in with the way the game was going today. Not a cameo he'll be putting on the highlights reel I'd imagine. Better to come.

Yes. Younger brother of Oisín who was on Mayo panel last year.

He seemed a bit raw when he came on, but hopefully he can use the game time to grow into it.
