2019 Allianz Football League Division 3.

[Don Draper]

I love GAA but if Stephen Poacher is the best Carlow can have wel they can close the gates of Dr Cullen Park. His display at the end of the game was the worst I've ever seen at a GAA game anyways.

Really hope something is done about this carry on, looks like Carlow are not flavour of the month anymore..

f**k Carlow and f**k Poacher. They're the past. We're behind that shite.

[Jd]

Ah let's forget about Carlow and concentrate on our own lads. I like the team named. It's a nice mix of pace and size. I remember being here a couple of years ago and we were bemoaning our lack of pace, but we appear to have gotten a few fast lads and still have the strong core of a team. Credit for this has to go to John Sugrue.  Young O Flynn is a real surprise starter but I've been watching him all through underage and have always felt he was good enough. I think the wide open space will suit our half lines and if we get enough ball in not Evan he could create havoc

[Countyminor]

Sean is a really sticky defender. You'd rarely if ever see a man get the better of him. Really, really polite young fella as well, delighted to see him in.

[Countyminor]

Is his job to mark Ger Egan?

He'd have it in him I'd say. It's a tactic John isn't shy to use either. Could see him shadowing someone alright

Great read....

Very wasteful up front hopefully won't rue those misses! Big 2nd half coming up!

[Gmac]

Taking  all day to kick long range frees wide instead of trying to speed the play up and work an easier chance , goal just gone in uphill battle now

Left that behind them too wasteful and too many hit and hope balls in the 2nd half. Hopefully rectify it for championship in Tullamore. Attride one of the few positives today. Ger Egan is some player.

[The PRO]

Ah Jesus, the wides percentage is dreadful. Would remind you of the hurlers against Limerick. Simple misses. Young O'Flynn had two bad ones (fine game otherwise). Cahillane's missed goal chance was crucial. O'Carroll's frees aren't consistent enough. Begley seemed to stroll through the game which might be unfair of me. Attride is a great bit of stuff. What can you say about Brody? I love the guy but sometimes he costs us and one of those times was today. You just can't have your keeper chasing back while they're sticking the ball in the net.

Too slow. Too many passengers on a fast sod. It was only a matter of time before Brody's forays cost a goal. I can't see how it helps, he is usually the link man between 2 lads 15 yards apart. Evan O'Carroll only forward. Need to replace older lads with faster young fellas soon.

What young lads would u suggest using ?

[High Fielder]

Two evenly enough matched sides with their ability to execute quicker the deciding factor. Some days, it really pisses me off that we are so passive in our approach. We need to be busier and we need to be more aggressive. Westmeath are very beatable but that's twice that I've felt we don't know how to do it. I wouldn't be getting too down in the mouth about it but we need to find a new approach and an extra gear the next time we play them. A very similar submission to the one in Mullingar. Credit to Westmeath. Deserving winners

[Countyminor]

A lack of a scoring threat between our half back and forward lines, as well as a glut of diabolical wides, killed us. They were cute and managed the game very efficiently. We paid for our wastefulness big time, we could've been out of sight early on. Timmons and Attride best on the day for us I thought. Our play was slow and lateral, it was easy for them to funnel back in numbers and strangle us. They were very disciplined in defence (black cards aside) whereas we were coughing up frees easier.

I'd still be confident we can catch them in May. They play like a slightly more progressive Carlow, not sure that style will lend itself well to summer ball.

Not sure I have the answers. Benny Carroll for a start.

I'd like to see young Barry from O'Dempseys getting a try. And possibly another look at Danny O'Reilly.
