Good weekend for us. Different type of game last night where Galway came happy to get a draw and almost succeeded, would still have reservations over Pats' ability to create chances but it's probably not the game to read too much into for that. Great for Leavy to get his goal, looks like it could be a strong partnership between him and Brown down the right side.

Think there could be goals in Keena and Mata once they start playing regularly and hopefully Leavy can push on and score more , he gets into great positions and should have more goals in him

Fitness-allowing we should have a better spread of goals at the top end of the pitch, my only hesitancy is creating chances for those players. In 3 of 4 games so far we've not created much, and last night was a bit reminiscent of last season at times where we looked a bit lost on ideas and resorted to hopeful crosses. Still early doors though so not reading too much into it, but it's in the back of my mind.

Going by the game last night, Dundalk's game plan on Friday night was very naive. Got caught on the break loads and got punished trying to play out from the back. Worked in our previous three games but Pats had the organisation and players in the team to exploit this. In all previous games Dundalk looked the better team in spells but I never got that feeling on Friday. Regardless of the score line it was easily the best performance against us by a country mile.

How do ye feel about coming to Terryland on Friday? Confident?
We look to be fairly well organised at the back and in midfield but if we're playing Walsh and Lomboto up front we'll be in trouble.

If we perform as we have in the first 3 games then we can be hopeful. It the sort of game we need to be targeting 3 points imo, against a side that you could be in amongst. It will be won or lost on taking chances, not picking up a red card and ceding midfield. Weather? I think we'd suffer on a heavier surface more than Galway. It'll be interesting to see how we'll approach this game. So far we have been significant underdogs so not the expectation. This is a bit different now.

Galway have only conceded 1 goal in 2 home games and that was last min v Drogs. They will be very hard to break down, I`d take a draw right now.

But this means the search for a win goes on to Waterford at home week after, will be a very difficult game tomorrow, and more so as its the 4th away one (including Derry and Rovers) in first 5 games !
