Always had a soft spot for Galway. Given Tyrone are unlikely to get that far, I’d love to see Galway go on and win it this year. They are rightly favourites and it all depends which Tyrone turns up. If they’ve been working hard on their glaring issues then they have a chance. A forward line that potentially could have The 2 Canavans, McCurry, Mattie Donnelly can cause damage to any defence. And the likes of McShsne, McGeary etc busting to prove a point in the background. Need more from the half forward line, so I’d like a bit of a re jig there.
The defence is the real issue. Plugging that 6 spot is a must. PH needs to move to the wing. I’d actually think about giving him a role on the half forwards. But whoever comes in there at 6 will be the key. If we get that right then, we’ve a chance. If not, then we screwed again. If we get a drubbing now after having weeks to work on a plan then it won’t get any better regardless of whether we squeeze through the round robin games. Tight game, win or lose we’ll still have plenty to play for.
