was'nt at the game meself but what was the team n how did everybody play??
I was asking a few people after match about the two lads,, they reckon forsyth could have cracked ribs,it would be very hard luck for forsyth, his first chance to impress and this happens hope its not that bad though,, paddy did look like an angle injury..i agree about gary and set pieces.. i actually thought that massey might have a go since he has a good left foot for the free kicks..
Thought McCabe had a cracking game for us. Defo our MOTM.[/quote]
McCabe did have a great game, huge improvement from last match. I can't knock him for second peno..
very hard to pick a player to take the set pieces, the game against rovers we wasted loads of gud chances by just hitting a short pass where as cawley would have buried at least one of them. hope the injuries ar'nt that serious. we dont really have any dept in the squad this year. did brennan play??
brennan centre mid?? defo thought he'd be playing centre back. dont rate him as a midfielder but then he didnt play often enough for pats to rate properly
That game had pretty much everything. For 2 supposedly good defences there were an awful lot of goal scoring chances. I don't think Brennan would merit a place in our defence at the moment tbh. Galway look like they will score a shed load of goals this year. Faherty and O' Shea are formidable. If we are the 2 pre season favourites to go down then this augurs well for the league as a whole as there was a lot of skill out there tonight from both teams. Having said that we should have won - again. Draw was probably the right result though.
Solid enough start, this time last year we had 1 point and people were on here looking for Gormleys head.
Does anyone know the extent of the injuries tonight yet?
No, but pretty sure both were taking off in the ambulance.
Yep both went off in the ambulance and from the looks of it both could be out for a while. If forsyth has done his ribs it could be about 6 weeks and paddy god only knows at this stage.
BTW the ref was awful talk about card happy....
Yeah he was but he calmed down in the second half. There were a few heavy tackles that would have been cards in the first half.
I think at that speed it would have been a bit harsh. I thought Mc Cabe was probably a bit lucky to be on the pitch before he stepped up in fairness. He is a bit petulant at times, puts a foot in when he's lost the ball a lot. He did this a bit too often tonight and was lucky not to get a couple of yellows. Was Forans booking right. Thought he won the ball fair and square.
I reckon if he had've been sent off it would have been harsh. Conceeding a peno was enough.
Cant agree with that. Was very poof in the first half, seemed intend on kicking Jay O'Shea. Touch was poor and struggled to get into the game in the first half. Totally different second half, was brimming with confidence and was excellent.
I thought Stephen Brennan had a really good game, tired after about 70 mins but his distribution was good and always looked to get involved, never afraid to get stick in. Looks a good signing.
Really entertaining game of ball last night in the Carlisle. We started very brightly and then the injury to Forsyth knocked us. How the Galway centre half didn't get a booking for his tackle is beyond he, especially seeing as how the ref was so card happy ! Both of Galway's goals came against the run of play IMO but we showed a lot of spirit and dertermination to come back twice. 1st half was very even, apart from the 2 goals, which by the way we gifted to Galway, Skippy had one save to make. We deserved to be level at half time, Galway were not better than us. 2nd half Bray upped it steadily throughout the half, only a couple of fantastic save from Ryan and a last ditch tackle kept Galway in the game. Both penos were stone wall penos, my only compliant is that the ref didnt book either Galway player for stopping goal scoring chances. Galway crumbled in the last 5-10 minutes when we applied real pressure and they were hanging on your thrre lives at the end. Dissapointed we only drew looking back at it.
O'Shea was very poor for most of the game last night. Mulcahy had another very good game in the middle for us, excellent player going forward and defending. McCabe 2nd half tore the Galway right back apart.
Just on the 2nd peno, Ryan was about 4 yards off his line when he saved it.
