Think we made a lot of basic mistakes yesterday too but lordy they left it all on the field. That said we were not good enough to take on and get by on 1v1's which is needed at this level. Cormac O'Reilly done it a few times but then chose the wrong option. There is a little bit of panic in us rather than confidence when the real big pressure come on players. Playing the better teams does improve this

I'm sure its the end of a few on the panel. We badly need to find help around midfield. We spent most of the year shoring up midfield with half forwards and half backs. Crowe done his best and certainly improved but he needed more help.

Odd thoughts from yesterday
- Dont usually mention refs but we were hard done by yesterday. Wouldn't have changed the game much though
- Faulkner looked dangerous at full forward
- Not sure where Mcveety's best position is.. not getting the best out of him (although he is tightly marked)
- Brady was good in the goals. learn to ping the ball
- First time in fitzgerald stadium, a bit archaic. Suppose all the money buried in the center of excellence
- Killarney is bonkers of a Saturday night

The only thoughts to take from Saturdays match in Killarney is that we were totally out of our depth.. 3 bad beatings in a row is hardly going to be beneficial to any team so it's no wonder that the GAA are dispensing with this ridiculous Championship format.. Good riddance to it

How will that take mask over the issues ? So you just get 2 hammerings instead of one?

Not much wrong with the championship format just a pity that Mayo and not Cavan came through as they would give any team in ireland a run for their money Cavan although a division 2 team should be playing in the tailteann cup where we would be competitive

Agree with you 100% but the nonsensical championship format led to this scenario…. Gone for next year thank goodness

Hard luck to all Monaghan supporters bar lads like yourself and Vetern/Tom. You showed good fight but were up against a better team. To all the lads peeping through the hedge at us throwing out insults, welcome back down to earth. Pick up your 'were the plucky underdogs of the year' medals at the toll booths on the way home.

lads. few of them would show us the same grace but you would have to hand it to meath yesterday. they really threw the shackles off and gave galway a lesson in direct ambitious football. the kingscourt man was worth the ticket alone. terrible thing to be secretly happy for an old rival. getting soft.

Yes they did well in what can only be described as a woeful game… There was light years in comparison to the quality of it and the second game

It's hard to believe after how poor they finished the league. Corey and McMahon leaving midway through the year aswell. But they've now beaten Dublin Kerry and Galway. Matthew Costello is a class act

As for Cavan, looks like we played the best three teams in Ireland
