They probably have the best set of forwards in Ireland yet managed a paltry 9 points against Roscommon. They are epitomised by Shane Walsh who always looks like a great player but yet far too seldom delivers what his ability suggests that he is capable of.
The same Walsh that wasn't playing yesterday?
It's getting a bit ridiculous the slack he takes. He's had one bad season since 2017. There were multiple times over covid he was sensational but Galway were disjointed and got knocked out. Narrative then follows that they can't get the best out of this 'maverick', one that has still somehow has man of the match awards coming out of his ears over the years
Yesterday was a poor game in terrible conditions. Galway will be disappointed they didn't win given the flow of the game but on paper Roscommon were decent favourites going in. Galway are without their 4 most important players by any objective standard and 3 other starters, a situation that won't improve short term. Survival will be a serious achievement at this point
Agreed, not expecting them too stay up but on a positive note the like of Fitzgerald, O'Currain & O'Conghaile are going to get valuable game time at this level they might not have ordinarily got which will hopefully benefit Galway later in the summer. Have my doubts on Mulkerrin but Joyce obviously sees something there and I'll be the first to admit that I didn't see McHugh becoming the player he is so I've been wrong before.
