Kildare v Galway. Super 8s Round 2. 22 July 2pm #newbridgeornowhere

[Maroon Manc]

Kildare pick up any injuries last Sunday? Is Feely still not 100% fit?

[CornUladh02]

It will be interesting to see how Galway go this weekend after the high of last week v Kerry. Mentally tough to peak for 2 games in a week. Same challenge for all super 8 teams though! For Galways sake, I hope it's not a case of after the Lord mayors show!

[TheClubman]

I think this will be a tight one for Galway. When the game opens up Kildare will drive at Galway in a way Mayo did and Kerry didn't. Still feel Galway will get over the line but it could be closer than many think.

[Rossfan]

If Galway and Monaghan win this Group is over, although both will want to avoid Dublin in the semi so their game might be competitive enough.

I don't think Monaghan will beat Kerry. Their quarter final record for the last few years has been poor

[Rossfan]

But none of them games were in CLONES!!
Kerry won't know what planet they're on by the time they find their way there

I always think Clones should be in Tyrone.

[Captain Obvious]

Will be interesting to see how Kildare fare in this game as they aren't as conditioned like the top teams are and this will be their 5th game in 5 weeks and they are now coming off the back of defeat. The siege mentally they had for the Mayo game won't be there for this game and I highly doubt Galway's defence are going to give away 21 scores in this game.

All logic points to a Galway win but under the circumstances a win for Kildare in this game would be ranked higher than their win over Mayo IMO.

[seafoid]

Galway are ranked 2nd for Sam. Kildare are ranked 7th.
I think Kildare will be happy with getting to the Super 8 stage. Galway want to get to a semi at least.

[Duine Eile]

One change for Galway, Peter Cooke in for Conroy as expected. Couple of positional switches also

1. Ruairi Lavelle

2. Declan Kyne

3. Seán Andy Ó Ceallaigh

4. Eoghan Kerin

5. Cathal Sweeney

6. Gareth Bradshaw

7. Johnny Heaney

8. Peter Cooke

9. Thomas Flynn

10. Michael Daly

11. Shane Walsh

12. Seán Kelly

13. Ian Burke

14. Damien Comer

15. Eamonn Brannigan

Blue pills can help with that.

O'Neill has named same, would be surprised if they all start.

I can't see any changes myself. Maybe Feely might struggle to play through injury again but O'Neill has been very averse to making any changes even after defeats. None of the usual subs did much against Monaghan either.

[Dinny Breen]

If he goes with the same 15 I think that is madness, you can't talk mental fatigue and then not introduce a freshness with 2 or 3 changes. Whatever about the subs making an impact what did the 2 Cribbens and Brophy do to be retained?

[del_carroll]

Would totally agree that that - think we need an injection of energy and slattery, McNally and Kelly should all be in the reckoning
