Very poor stuff indeed. really disappointed with the lack of pressure put on Galway defenders coming out with the ball and it seems we don't have anyone to send a decent 40m pass into Marren and Kelly.
I cant believe how long we persisted with the ridiculous kickouts! I really hoped that this was a thing of the past with new management and keeper in place... unfortunately not. but the most disappointing thing was the lack of intensity.
We really have no idea how good Galway are from that game.

When is the qualifier draw due to be made? We need a handy home tie to get the show on the road and give more game time to the lads who have just come back from injury - although Flanagan should probably start with some of the younger lads in the qualifiers as it seems some of our old reliables are coming to the end. Maybe a bit of a qualifier run might cheer us all up a bit.....

Does anyone want to hazzard a guess at naming the Sligo team? All this talk of injuries to marren, Harrison and McIntyre has me all depressed!
I'm generally a stupidly optimistic Sligo supporter but I'm a bit worried this time I really don't think we have the panel to handle this.
What would the HB line be without harrisson and McIntyre? I guess Egan should slot into CHB pretty well.... Although we could probably do with him at midfield and wing forward aswell!

It's very hard to see a way out of it for us. Ros have head to head on us. We play Meath in Navan. Don't see us beating Cavan or Fermanagh. Meath in Navan will be a relegation head to head and I wouldn't be exactly confident we'd win.

That said if Ros lose to Meath this weekend they could be in awful trouble. Their last 3 fixtures look very tough so we could escape with a win against Wicklow.

Of course the likelyhood is that we'll get a few surprise results along the way. Hopefully Sligo provide a couple of them but honestly can't see it.

I reckon Sligo will stay up.... maybe Im over optomistic but i think we will win both home games and might even get something in meath - considering Meaths recent form. I know Cavan are going well at present but we usually do well at home and I fancy us to catch them on the hop this weekend. If it does comes down to a survival battle at home to Wicklow we should just do enough. Any chance James Kilcullan will start on Sunday? Hopefully his additional to the squad will be the timely boost we need to stay up. (no pressure on the poor lad then!!)

Try to make sense of this.
Sligo against the wind are 1-8 to 0-4 up at ht.
sligo are with the wind 2nd half and scrape a win against 13man Antrim by 1-12 to 0-13. Effectively lost 2nd half 9-4 with 2man advantage and wind....
The positive is we won a vital game, as we have 2tough games coming up away to Monaghan and Meath, will do well to get anything out of either...

Struggling to find any detailed report on this one. Don't suppose anyone knows the team selection, scorers, good/bad performances etc?
Did McIntyre and gilmartin start midfield? Any info would be appreciated
Cheers

Sligomanabroad - based on your username you might want to check out ocean fm who usually stream the games live.  However this past sunday was a nightmare as they decided to speak to some clowns at the sligo park hotel about sponge cake, biscuits, djs and wedding chair covers when Antrim were making a big comeback.  I almost went off the head, hopefully they wont pull that stunt again.

thanks lads,
I have some experience with Ocean FM alright - what a disaster! Mid Wesht was the only job!
An important 2 points gained which keeps us in the hunt for promotion I guess. Realistically though I think Promotion will always be difficult with 4 games on the road this year. If we were to get a total of 2 points out of the next two games against Meath and Monaghan I would be delighted - a big ask but not beyond us by any means.
One general point - Everyone seems to point to a weak Sligo Mid-field and poor catch rate on Kickouts... while we may not have two all star mid-fielders surly the problem is with Greens Kickouts? From the few televised games I have seen over the last few years his kickouts are shocking! Who is the current second choice keeper? Is the Guy from Owenmore Gales still in the mix? Farrell maybe?
