Replying To matthematx:  "Good game today great result. Full backs wer good today halfbacks were good young carry played well has serious speed power was very good so was harnarn o Sullivan had very good first half and last ten minutes lenihan was excellent menton did well at midfield again very hit and miss with frees and some silly shooting by lads when forwards were better placed good fighting spirit today we hunted in pacts turned over a lot of ball good tackling and not giving ball away easily was big improvement on last few games Flanagan looks like a midfielder did well when he came on did give ball away in last few minutes which could of cost us Mc Mahan was very poor and was angry with him self going off o coileian was poor as well but big improvement on last week watched keoghan closely in last ten minutes and he was brilliant head and shoulders best player on team for me. Don't want to be a kill joy but game was very open not many teams will play as open there were a lot of one on ones which our backs did well on packed defences are a real problem for us but a good win a big improvement and a lot of lads starting to look like definit starters again half backs were good on wards and up wards roll on next game"
Keoghan best performance this year great to see. Graham was fantastic at times and off at other times. Hopefully the two weeks off will rest him bit. Seemed tired at times. Even I can say that.

Replying To Barney123:  "I agree with other posters, the kickouts got Galway back in the game in the second half. POR kept doing the same thing but he had no other options, in fairness to joey and eamon wallace I think they were the only ones who actually made themselves available for the short kickout.

Agree with RD, Power improved massively today, what did other posters think of Carry today? Thought he was good going forward but I didn't notice him defensively which isn't to say he was bad just I didn't notice him. Has a good burst of speed as seen once or twice in todays game."
lost his man alot from kickouts to be honest.

that was the best iv seen harnan in a meath jersey, looked quicker sharper stronger than last year, delighted to see him back as well as Donnacha tobin, still missing that 1 forward who I suspect is mickey newman to compliment the bang in form donal lenihan in a 2 man full forward line, by god we have so much to work on but encouraging win today that isn't a bad Galway team.

You're spot on though.

Meath fans on here are so bipolar lol

last week it was doom and gloom

this week according to dunner cillian osullivan is fast becoming a top 10 player in Ireland hahaha

why do ya think I come on here?? the absolute laughs I get is brilliant and the bites are outstanding. The bait is thrown out there again

in all seriousness though (really..no like....really really) I've had my genuine say on meath on the main d2 thread on the national forum. It was a good win, obviously, but ....ah I won't explain it all again, go to the d2 thread if yous give a damn

Jury out on it for me. Much prefer to see Graham at peak fitness In half forward line.

Improved performance as a team. Midfield a big problem. Menton not at the races at all,and Toher marginally better. Leave Flanagan there,and hope his match fitness improves... Kickout strategy has to vary,to take account of lack of fielders at midfield. Our lack of a plan to pick up breaking ball is surprising to say the least. Our inability to use open spaces in attacking play is equally surprising. Positives Harnan back. Tobin back. Lenihan starting to show he is one of our best forwards toghether with o Sullivan and Reilly. Workrate improved from ream overall. POR may have nailed down no 1 spot. Andy seems to have done some very good work in the last week....We have every chance against Cork. We will be complete underdogs of course !!!!!

toher better than menton?

really??? :)

again midfield is not only the two lads in the middle,we need to be sharper around the area regarding breaking ball.

YEH For me Menton 4 Toher 4.5 {he did have an attempt at frees also] Menton,s poorest match in a long time.....I am particularily critical of his attempts to catch from behind using one hand mostly. NOT midfielder, but would put him at seven. Harnan at 6. Power loosing out as his lack of pace at this level is a weakness imo. In fact i am surprised to see some posters remark on his improvement to day. I did not see that. Overall our inability to cater for breaking ball is most surprising

Decent performance but still a lot to work on. The increased workrate was the main improvement. Harman was brilliant for the first half but the lack of match fitness got to him in the second half. Lenehan was making great runs throughout the game and COS finally found him for the goal.
Negatives: Midfield cleaned out again. Too many of Galway's defenders went forward without being tracked. We went far too long in the second half between scores again.
Deegan was atrocious. Menton and Keogan both made great tackles in the second half but we're penalized which resulted in a Galway point.

Great win. We're still in with a shout of promotion but survival should still be the main aim.

Look I wouldn't be too hard on either Menton or toher , both are trying to plug a serious problem in Meath team. I think Andy would give his left arm for a fully fit Gillespie, or a return of Rooney and Nash.
But we have to make do with what we have and they need help from both half back and half forward lines. Also por (who was v good today) needs to stop with so many long balls , why give opposition a advantage on your own kick outs? 7/10 at least are going to be lost. One thing cork have is a decent midfield pairing. Can't play into their hands.
