I think Doyle will start unless he has a knock. We are in bad need of a good Connacht championship performance. We've only had one really good win in Connacht since 2019, the Mayo game also on Easter Sunday in Davys first year. If our intensity and work rate is there, our forwards click and we've a good game plan we can definitely pull off a surprise.

It will be a surprise alright but we live in hope. As said above let's hope for a good performance and see what that results in . Seanfanbocht (Roscommon) - Posts: 2252 - 19/04/2025 11:06:30 2602718 Link 1 |

Hopefully Roscommon can bring similar intensity and 2 point shooting accuracy as Cork did last night. A couple of takeaways from that game. Cork were under huge pressure when they lost their own kickout. They flooded that area with big men but Kerry still were able to get on top at stages. No good having a load of men there if ya can't win the ball. Hopefully we can bring serious aggression into that battle. I thought they over used the hand pass and some absolutely butchered when they should have been on the front foot. Turnovers were very costly for them. We need to make sure we do not give away hard earned possession cheaply. Hopefully we have some sort of a kicking game and that the ball isn't always going through the hands. Some of Kerrys direct kicking was super. FullOfPorter (Roscommon) - Posts: 57 - 20/04/2025 10:15:23 2602979 Link 1 |

Best of luck to the lads today, if we could put in half the effort cork did last night then they are there for the taking. Certain players need to step up if we're to win. hontherossie (Roscommon) - Posts: 123 - 20/04/2025 11:47:07 2603008 Link 1 |

Best of luck to Roscommon. Please God let Keith Doyle start, he's proven himself to be our chief fielder now. Clean fielding leads to scores with the new rules. So if he's not started for some tactical reason and it backfires.. well let's see. I've also never seen that defensive layout before but I'm trusting managment have it all sussed out. Play to our strengths and abilities and we can take a major scalp here today. Safe travels to all the travelling supporters.

On the evidence of the first half Doyle is needed badly in midfield. Conroy picking off two pointers for fun.

This is the worst prepared Roscommon team that I can remmber. No game plan, players not having a clue to where they should be on the pitch. Not starting with Doyle, no plan to stop Conroy. Corner back issues from the league not addressed. imformed (Roscommon) - Posts: 194 - 20/04/2025 17:10:31 2603095 Link 1 |

Anyone that has seen Roscommon play live this year should not be surprised by that result! rossy15 (Roscommon) - Posts: 643 - 20/04/2025 17:49:20 2603108 Link 2 |

Nobody bothering to mark McDaid, Goalie consistently kicking ball out long and Galway winning it at ease. Time for a change at the top. No game plan, no structure, no intensity. reffingmad (Roscommon) - Posts: 378 - 20/04/2025 17:54:33 2603112 Link 2 |

Very disappointing wide open defensively allowing Galway clock up 1-24 at their ease. Scored 0-18 which isn't overly great when you consider New York scored 0-20 against then. The_analyser (Roscommon) - Posts: 4017 - 20/04/2025 17:55:48 2603113 Link 1 |

Tactically inept and destroyed at midfield. Shocking decision not to start Doyle, though we still struggled in the 2nd. No two pointers attempted in first half. Why didn't we go for that 45 in the second? Galway fair play to them are good, didn't have to play amazing. They are very well drilled in everything they do. We are the opposite. No plan A never mind plan B. Everything looks so labourered. Switching off at crucial times. Those issues all rest with management.

Burke and his management team have to take most of the blame. I don't see a game plan at all. Our forwards look like headless chickens when we attack. Defensively we are horrendous and we lack so much bite and intensity. We are a lovely team to play id say if you are a forward. Waste of money and time it was today. When you see Leitrim and Monaghan and Cork leave everything on the pitch and we can't say the same

Going to Roscommon matches a long and hard to remember a more disappointing performance. Both management and players have to take the blame. No kickout strategy and totally wiped out at midfield. letsgetgoing (Roscommon) - Posts: 716 - 20/04/2025 18:31:55 2603129 Link 0 |

So frustrating. Part of me was thinking maybe the league fall off was cos they were targeting this game but that was plainly not the case. There has been a steady decline. As you say, look at how Leitrim, Cork and Monaghan performed. I feel sorry for the players. There is no system. We must be so predictable and easy to play against. How will we get into a QF playing like this?

We won't it will be a group stage exit playing like that. A few teams in the Tailteann Cup including our neighbours Sligo,Offaly would have beaten us today with that performance. Players and management both need to have a strong hard look at themselves for that woeful display today. The_analyser (Roscommon) - Posts: 4017 - 20/04/2025 18:57:51 2603149 Link 0 |

Pathethic performances, our defending was a embarrassment, buying dummies left right and centre. i also convinced my self things would change for championship. We knew galway had a height advantage but we had no one to break ball instead we watched darcy fielding balls for fun all day. our club championship is meant to be competitve but the players who have come in the last few years are just not good enough. Enda smith has regressed big time since winning the all star for some reason. a lot soul searching to be done and a management change may be needed. hontherossie (Roscommon) - Posts: 123 - 20/04/2025 19:16:31 2603167 Link 2 |

That's been coming. Roscommon were poor during the League and were only promoted by chance. We lost at home to Cavan and away to Meath both poor teams. We were totally cleaned out at midfield today. Cian Darcy was able to time his runs uncontested to field the ball. Mayo aren't great at the moment but they will at least compete with Galway. We had no plan, no structure , no strategy. There were some good individual performances such as Ben O'Carroll and Colm Neary is one for the future. The reality though is that Roscommon have gone backwards under this Manager and that's been obvious for some time.

The most disappointing thing about today's game was the lack of fight in the team. In over fifty years following Roscommon this was one of the worst displays I witnessed. It really was men against boys today. Galway just strolled through us at will. I believe the game plan we try is totally unsuited to the players involved. Whatever chance we have my being more direct and causing a bit of panic in other teams the tactic of playing pass the parcel and going nowhere is proving to be useless. I think that style of play in now ingrained in the Roscommon club system and the future looks very black indeed. The only good outcome today was not getting drenched in Salthill. I have too many memories of bad defeats and drenchings there. God help us in the A I series. I for one wont be going to see them play.

Anyone know what's going on with enda Smith. He's not the same player this year? also how the hell did Conor hand not get a run today? He brought on killoran but not hand. dave1988 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1234 - 20/04/2025 20:03:07 2603198 Link 0 |
