he was and was about to come on with 15 mins to go then cookie changed his mind and never put him on
strange dose cookie really know how to make subs to change a game
very poor performance a fasle dawn after the pats game i think
too many players not up too it a local derby they should have being flying in to the tackles
Bitterly disappointed with that result last night. I suppose when I look at the result against Pats now I have to wonder were we good are were Pats tired from their Europa exploits. Sadly now I'm opting for the latter.
Last night was a shambles from our point of view. From the viewpoint of a United fan they should and will be in a more optimistic position than us. Credit where credit is due their defence did a superb job to a man. Their man marking and how they kept their shape was something our defence just don't seem up to this season. Last night if I was a neutral I'd say Ventre and Keane hadn't been introduced prior to the game not alone played together. Our players don't seem to have any idea what the other guy is trying to do. They certainainly don't play for each other.
The most disappointing thing for me last night was the responce from our bench immediately after Galway went a man down. The responce was nil. Here we were with a huge advantage and our manager didn't try and change things for a whole 20 minutes of the action. It baffles me as to his thinking. Only when Turner was introduced in the 74th minute did we start to impose any real threat.
We are far too causious and this needs addressing. We are in a real dogfight and only by throwing caution to the wind are we going to go anywhere near getting out of this mess. More urgency is required. We have to start games with our best eleven, This business of the manager being loyal to disloyal players has also to be addressed. If a player is not willing to give 100% he doesn't deserve a start.
Fair play to Galway, a great result for them but I'm sick and tired of listening to real good die hard supporters making excuses for lack of effort simply because their love for the club is blinding them from the facts. If we don't achieve the results we go done it's a simple as that. On last night's showing we simply don't have the bottle to stay up.
did ya see camano he was mad to get on and at half time he was out on the pitch giving o grady and mcgrath advise, if he has any ability he may be great as id say he will take control at back and organise us .
From last nights performance, it looks as if we don't train full stop, never mind not training together, we were 3 steps behind Galway. One of those nights i suppose. Ref was shocking too, even the decisions he gave against Galway were horrible!
I wasn't at either the Pats game or this one but from other games it's obvious that Keane and Ventre just aren't up to the job as a partnership. Ventre can look decent if you put Peers in with him but without Peers it's all over the place.
It was all optimism on here after Pats and all doom and gloom now. Whatever about politics, a week is definitely a long time in football!
Would be nice to get a win on Monday but it's all about battling in the league and every game is a cup final now. I just hope the players and management can respond to the pressure.
300 travelling is excellent. Hope to see the same in the Jodi on Monday.
i was,nt at the game but heard we had big numbers down there. i am trying to remain as constructive & positive as possible but this result has really gutted me. we should have introduced cantano at some stage and moved boco to the middle where he might have created something. from speaking to a good friend of mine who was at the game he said that it was aterrible performance and made the point that the players did,nt seem to realise that it was a local derby and galway were more aware of the importance of the game & points.trying to remain positive , we have a game on monday and a chance to redeem ourselves. the next few weeks will determine our season if we can remain in the fai cup by beating derry it will help us to fight off relegation. i think also that a problem we have at the moment is raf is playing with a new partner (blinkhorn) and the combination should improve going forward. next weeks game against dundalk, we simply have to get a good result. hold tight lads the season ai,nt over yet and lets all try to remain positive. this might be a small matter to some but i think the fact that gerry carr wasNt in the dug out made a difference cause he is always very vocal.
Im pretty sure Gerry was in the dugout RA.Quote:

I did notice last night he was ready to come on waiting for a break in play but for whatever reason the gaffer changed his mind - mind boggling?
Like everyone else I'd love to win silverware but survival has to be our top priority at this stage. No good being league cup holders and playing in the first division - who wants that?
The Dundalk game is now crucial, we need our fit best eleven on the park for this one, let's hope Cookie realises it too.
Watched it again, seems like we could still be there now and not able to score.Quote:

Totally agree!Quote:

Can Keane not stay on his feet and win a tackle?
?????????????????
Lads, what's the story with Galway's support?
Maybe there was a crowd under the camera but that is a shocking turnout for a local derby.
We had no ideas whatsoever, worrying stuff.
Painful to watch last night.
The camera is in their main stand for all non-televised games, just like ours. The stand our boys were in is always the emptier of the two.Quote:

You should be worrying about how your team played, and not at our crowds. Its been well documented that our crowds are well down this year, we don't need reminding of that. The old stand, where the Sligo fans were, is usually empty, apart from the lads in Section C, and one or two others. The New Stand had a fairly decent crowd last night and was very voicerous for the last 20 minutesQuote:

Well done on the win.

Hopefully we can gel over the next few weeks and put a string of points winning performances on the board otherwise it will be panic stations, and panic never makes a better team only a nervous one!
think its a nervous team allreadyQuote:

Nobody mentioned it, but i though McGrath and Blinkhorn did well all things considered
O'Grady and Raf, not so much
Ventre is your best player IMO although he gets a lot of yellow (and red!) cards.Quote:

Fixed that for you;). Ventre does try but that doesn't always make up for his lack of footballing skills. He is a liability at times.Quote:
