I can’t remember the last time we had such a pacy direct corner forward as Conroy It’s not all doom and gloom Really impressed by young Mcloughlin again too I said it last week and it’s worth repeating today. Moran isn’t big/ strong enough yet and I don’t know will he ever be

On the game itself, Clarke had a nightmare, Loftus quiet, O’Shea fairly annonymous. How we didn’t set up defensively against that breeze was just diabolical, should have been one, if not two sweepers deployed first half and O’Shea should have been moved to midfield, infuriating. Playing against the breeze wasn’t an ideal situation for Mark Moran to impress today so wouldn’t read into his performance at all, O’Donoghue and McLaughlin did well, and wow, Tommy Conroy, what a player we have on our hands, the type we’ve been crying out for for years and only 21. I actually think Paul Towey can be every bit as good as him given the chance. For the first time in what seems like an age, we have serious depth in the forwards now. We badly badly need another midfielder, CHB and goalkeeper though and these are persistent problem areas. Not overly bothered about championship truth be told, be an asterisk beside it regardless of if we win the All Ireland or not, but I would like to see us go with something along the lines of below: Byrne, O’Donoghue-O’Hora-Mullin E McLaughlin-Keegan-Durkan K McLoughlin (Sweeper) Ruane-Aidan O’Shea D O’Connor-Moran-McDonagh Carr-Conroy Subs-Clarke, Coen, Boyle, Loftus/McHale, S O’Shea, R O’Donoghue, Boland, C O’Connor, D Coen, Barrett, McBrien

Big blow to Mayo GAA in terms of revenue streams and the team in terms of our absence from feasting at the top table. Defensively lots to work on. We were really brought back to earth with the big bang after last week's performance but very heartened by our second half performance playing with the assistance of the not insubstantial wind. Tommy goals Conroy is a gem. Mark Moran will have likely learnt a lot more from today after all the superlatives post his MOTM performance last week. No idea why Fionn didn't start today.Tad strange the withdrawal of Darren Coen and Kevin Mc. I'm guessing Kevin Mc was short on game time. Ryan O Donoghue has much to contribute at inter county level. It's long overdue to be planning for a successor to David Clarke. Colm Reape or Matthew Flanagan??

All of that is a moot point though as the league (If it starts) is about 10 weeks away and will be just at the start of the next lockdown,they'll be no crowds anywhere. We really need to shore up that defender,we were cut open enough times against Galway to indicate its a problem,ditto Clarkie kickouts,it looks like we need a sweeper and we have the perfect player in Kevin Mac.We missed Aido in the middle,if things are going well its great to have him at 14 but you're robbing peter to pay Paul. Lots of positives too,Conroy is some find,Mclaughlin did very well again today.and we have an excellent squad now with competition for places.Not much time too wallow in defeat and have championship in 2 weeks.
