Fully agree but when everyone is fit i cant see either lad making a 26. It will definitly benefit them being around the likes of Conroy for a season. This current u20 crop is littered with potential future senior players and Costello and Mcglinchy are probably the two important players to Savage and are core from that Minor All Ireland group. Along Jack Lonergan, Sean Dunne, Charlie Cox, Eanna Monaghan, Ross Coen, Vinny Gill, Shane Canavan, Luc O'Connnor. Even with the loss of Farthing and Trayers to other sports, this group has All Ireland potential. After stong seasons from Oranmore, Dunmore McHales, Killannin and Mountbellew in the u19A, it will also be interesting to see who Savage has picked up on and brought in. Not sure if U19 POTY Darragh Clery was part of previous panels underage. Is Ciaran Mulhern still u20? I think there was 7 Claregalway lads in that u17 panel in 2022, there will obviously be a big shift here with the emergence of other clubs in the underage scene.

Could do with getting Patrick Egan back into the 26 soon. I believe he isnt far away. galway19 (Galway) - Posts: 822 - 15/02/2025 13:45:56 2591134 Link 0 |

Are Shane Canavan and Luc O Connor u20 still? Thought they were overage now. Don't remember either being involved with the minors three years ago

Your right Luc O'Connor is overage. Shane Canavan played u19 for Corofin this year, so I assume that makes him eligible for Galway u20's.

We are 8 points up, Gleeson is getting loads of possession and space. Perfect time to give Conor Flaherty minutes smallfrank (Galway) - Posts: 454 - 15/02/2025 18:06:11 2591163 Link 1 |

Decent so far but - How many times does one player have to get turned over before we will make a change? Wake up sideline. togoutlads (Galway) - Posts: 1012 - 15/02/2025 18:11:13 2591164 Link 0 |

Whatever about turning Gleeson into a goalkeeper, we're never make him an outfield threat. Derry aren't even picking him up. Time to put an outfield player in goal.

Got cleaned in midfield. Would've lost that match if there was another minute to play. Should've lost too, Derry missed a pile of chances jam83 (Galway) - Posts: 184 - 15/02/2025 18:36:31 2591169 Link 3 |

After looking at this game it's obvious we still have no knockout strategy

The 2 points rule is covering up a lot for Galway. Joyce won't make changes. it's like Kevin Walsh all over again players struggling and left on the field. Derry got 15 scores Galway 10 Kew (Galway) - Posts: 136 - 15/02/2025 18:38:14 2591171 Link 1 |

Flaherty deserve a go to see how he goes. Add in the issue with olaoi who also doesn't need picking up as doesn't offer a scoring threat we will be hoping 12v11 goes out of all div1 teams. First 45 minutes was nearly perfect but we got no impact off bench while Derry got a huge impact Overall plenty room to improve but safety nearly guaranteed Lots of positives too Shane going well, another clean sheet. Kelly conroy due a rest as was tough going last 20 minutes jm25 (Galway) - Posts: 1345 - 15/02/2025 18:40:49 2591173 Link 1 |

Awful collapse in the second half. They stopped playing, slowed it down and tried to sit on a 9 point lead. Painful watching Gleeson trotting up the field tapping the ball on his foot. Lost all momentum after that. Couldn't win a kick out the last 20 minutes and Murray caused wreck after he came on. Couldn't get our shooters on the ball in the second half. O'Laoi and Daly both dropped handy ones short into the keeper. One of the Derry points was definitely wide. While one of Walsh's looked over but was given wide.

Put a goalie jersey on a forward and give Conor number 14, its a no brainer. suckvalleypaddy (Galway) - Posts: 1710 - 15/02/2025 18:48:19 2591178 Link 1 |

There were 3 key moments. When we got caught for the 3v3, we actually only had one up. The Conroy intercepted hand pass. The free on Gleeson for delaying the kick out. Every game now when we really need possession. We just balloon it out to the middle to big men. Will work a treat some days, not against Conor Glass and the like. We were wiped on our own kick out and the hooter saved us. smallfrank (Galway) - Posts: 454 - 15/02/2025 18:50:18 2591180 Link 0 |

Odd match and mixed views for Galway. Nine points ahead at half time, should have been game won and enough cuteness and experience to close the game out but managed to get outscored 0-12 to 0-3 2nd half and lucky enough Derry kick a number of chances short. Still its 5 points from games against Mayo,Armagh and Derry and certainly would have taken that before the league. Drax_the_destroyer (UK) - Posts: 316 - 15/02/2025 18:50:25 2591181 Link 1 |

Ah go away out of that Finnerty and comer are clearly scoring forwards over last 2 years. 8 points from HF line today I'm sure you won't mention that jm25 (Galway) - Posts: 1345 - 15/02/2025 18:54:13 2591182 Link 0 |

O'Laoi has been nervous, and has been taking too much out of it in all 3 games but he can still come good hopefully, a few scores could turn it around for him. After 3 games it is unforgivable for any team to be getting caught out not having 3 up. That was the difference in winning and getting a draw. Anyway good to get 5 from 6 points with 2 away games. My main concern is our sluggishness moving the ball up the field with good kick passing. giveitlong (Galway) - Posts: 1259 - 15/02/2025 19:00:08 2591185 Link 0 |

I would have taken a draw before the game, never easy going up to Derry who are fighting for div 1 survival. First half flawless, second half we simply sat back , and once they got a few scores and the crowd behind them.. Gleeson getting punished for taking too long on the kickout was long overdue and he needed that.. One of the Derry scores clearly wide, but I'm glad we were poor in the second half, don't want to be getting ahead of ourselves, loads to work on. Finally OLaoi is a workhorse but not a scorer in a million years, we need scorers as well.. Belclare7 (Galway) - Posts: 178 - 15/02/2025 19:04:43 2591186 Link 1 |
