4 good chance in the first half!we were the better team. With a bit more balls they would have been dead and buried by half time.They Galway are a poor side and we should won that game easy.But your right we got what we deserved for the effort given.These are the game we need to be picking up points in!Quote:

Faz and Judge werent what they have been of late - they didnt have bad games as such but they have both set themselves high standards in the last while so a drop off was going to happen sooner or later
Judge was still a threat mind you - was always looking to play people in with clever balls but maybe failed with the simpler balls at times - Faz was out of the game for long periods
I know everyone has been positive about Ventre but I disagree v strongly - I thought he was poor - I know it was his first game so he needs longer to settle in but if he doesnt improve from yesterday then playing him at left back ahead of Kelly isnt an option
Having said that
- Ventre was playing at left back and that can be tough for a right footed player
- he doesnt seem at all at all comfortable with his left foot
- coming back on to his right foot slowed down a couple of moves that had potential
- he is obviously more used to playing at centre back
- On the two occasions he was taken on , he was comfortabley beat and Galway got a dangerous cut back ball in to the box that could have cost sligo dear
- he went over the top with a two footed tackle around the half way line and was very lucky not to be booked, another referee could easily have over reacted and shown him red
- he repeatedly looked for offside from the left back position with his hand raised etc after stepping up, nothing wrong with this per say but on the majority of occasions the other 3 defenders were not even entertaining the idea of stepping up or looking for offside
- he wasnt caught out positionally
didnt think it merited a card, there was nobody near the ball at the timeQuote:

Thought we should have had a penalty just before they broke up the pitch and equalised.We seem to overplay the ball around the box.Great when it comes of like against UCD but it'd be good to see a bit more shooting on sight.A draw was a fair result last nite

think the peno would have been harsh, thought judge handled the ball as much as the galway lad.Quote:

Ventre is not a left back, I think he let too many crosses get by him into the box.
No he's a CB apparently. Was playing out of position and did very well imo. Although Cook did say he can play any position across the back.Quote:

I don't think Cook rates Foy full stop otherwise he would have made the logical subsitution of moving Cretaro to right wing when Cash was injured and played Foy on the left.Quote:
