Based on the oxen fm commentary the ref was terrible and both sendings off we're poor decisions.  Don't know why pat did not make a move to combat quicken.  Best team won another game where we plane for only one half. Some players were very poor and were hardly mentioned.
Lot of work to do

Ah there's no doubt we're struggling. Fermanagh was a must win game. After tonight's disaster we could be looking at Div.4 if there's not a serious improvement.

I spoke to a friend of mine on the way home from the game who had a different take on the sendings off. Relying on that Ocean FM commentary is not great.

We're in a bad place. A good few lads not really up to it and some of the more established (better) players not playing well. At leat we have the 2 points from the first game in the bag - we could easily have none.

I'll make this very simple, Kilcullen deserved to be sent off 100%, i was right beside it, he took a player out of it way after the ball was gone, he was on a yellow and knew exactly what he doing, it was like he wanted to be sent off, disgrace imo,

Cawley who was Sligo best defender by far, was very unlucky, several times he was the only Sligo defender to front up physically and block runs, fermanagh forward ran at him, cawley stayed strong fronted up and player went down, sent off, a free at most imo..

Lads don't let the 2 sending offs fool you either, were in big trouble and would of lost tonight with 15.

Also to say the ref wasn't that bad either for us beside the cawley sending off imo, not sure why ocean fm would be spouting that..

Listened to the game on Ocean. Who was the no. 23 for Fermanagh who went on? The 2 lads said Seamus Quigley was listed, but was dropped from the panel yesterday for playing soccer.

I said it last week that I was impressed with Fermanagh. They were the first team so far this year that had Cavan panicking. They will take points of a lot if teams and I think they will finish nearer the top than the bottom. Sligo seems a real Jekyll and Hyde team, they could beat anyone on their day but often play well below their best. Tough game for us in Tullamore today, by all accounts we are missing up to 5 of last weeks team through injury. I'm fearful that Offaly will ambush us.

It would be an incredible result if Offaly beat Cavan.

I don't think it would Cavan missing there Captain,two midfielders from last week and Mackey. 

[rodney trotter]

Offaly put up a decent performance last week away too Wexford,  and with the injuries Cavan have it wouldn't be that incredible

[Shamrock Shore]

We're fooked 

[Itchy]

Good win for us today. Great heart and work even if everything didn't always come off. All damage done in 1st quarter with Dunne and Keating putting on an exhibition in finishing. But Offaly were dire, they will struggle to stay up on that performance.

[Syferus]

Roscommon putting on a dominant display in a big game. Been a good few years since that happened.

If Donie's free-taking boots were on it would have easily been a 10 or 11 point win, such was the one-sided manner of the game. Apart from a ten minute patch in the first half Wexford never looked like bridging the gap on the scoreline that we opened up with a 1-04 to 0-01 start.

Donie put on a show in the middle, winning more high ball cleanly than I've seen in many years of watching Roscommon. He was nothing short of spectacular and his passing matched his catching, always looking for the pass whenever he had the ball in hand.

Senan ket rolling too, got the goal off a rebounded shot that hit the upright and worked others into the play well. Missed a couple of tough frees against the wind in the second half - Cregger was our best free-taker on the day!

Cregger was beating his man all day and looks strong as an ox. Scored a couple big points in the second half that extinguished any hopes Wexford had.

Higgins scored three points too, very good performance from him. Thought Cathal Shine was his usual efficient self, just a very good midfield performance where everyone, HFs and HBs, all contributed to us winning lots of breaking ball.

Backs cleaned out Wexford on multiple occasions. Apart from that ten minute patch they were rock solid, particularly in the second half against the wind. Seanie is Seanie, as always.

Enda Smith was impressive off the bench, two points from play including the first after Wexford's purple patch to settle us. Ciaran Murt came off with an injury late on.

We need to work on our frees but Jesus if we're not in pole position for promotion now. See it through, lads.

[ross4life]

Good win in what could turn out to be massive 2 points for us.

When you consider the quality of players we have that performance today should be more common from us, hopefully we can kick on now & get rid of our inconsistency.

[mylestheslasher]

Long way to go yet Syferus ,try not to get too excited. We beat Offaly with out playing well for more than 20 mins today but Offaly were poor, not sure what there game plan was.

I think the first two weeks do show that Wexford are not, at least at this point, as good as we might expect. I still think Fermanagh will be dangerous to a lot of teams while Cavan and Roscommon in Breffni in the 2nd last game could be a game that could promote one of them. Glad of the 3 weeks break as we had 5 lads out injured today and hopefully they will be back then.
