KEVIN WALSH IN AN INTERVIEW IN IRISH TIMES ON GALWAY STYLE OF PLAY. Cornetto2 (Galway) - Posts: 165 - 03/03/2018 22:01:20 2081768 Link 0 |
Tomas o se on the independent today is in no doubt Galways system is like Tyrone which the dubs showed up so badly last year. Cornetto2 (Galway) - Posts: 165 - 03/03/2018 22:40:36 2081770 Link 0 |
I would've called it ugly last year. This year I think it's great to watch. Mayonman (Galway) - Posts: 1829 - 03/03/2018 23:02:22 2081771 Link 0 |
I haven't seen enough of Tyrone to comment, apart from our first game in Tuam. They weren't great that day, and really struggled to create too many openings. It was the first outing of the league however, and conditions were also pretty poor. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2042 - 03/03/2018 23:08:22 2081774 Link 0 |

Galway have been playing roughly this system for the past couple years. It's not new. Only difference now is that they have a few new players and they are much better at it. I know Paddy Tally is from Tyrone but Donegal under McGuiness is probably a more accurate comparison than Tyrone. Marooned (Galway) - Posts: 2216 - 05/03/2018 15:05:26 2081945 Link 1 |
Galway are starting to play like Donegal in 2012 but have a way to go yet to be All Ireland contenders, not sure if they have the players to play that flat out transition game, time will tell, Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 2748 - 05/03/2018 21:47:35 2082065 Link 1 |
Success?? we won 4 games and everyone is getting carried away.. Mayo are the best team in the West and will win Connacht and Sam this year! Belclare1 (Galway) - Posts: 1626 - 06/03/2018 08:02:40 2082116 Link 0 |
Galway have been playing with a blanket defense since Kevin Walsh took over, not sure there is anything new in that except that they have become very good at it. However now that they are becoming successful they can expect flak, that is just the nature of it. They have some excellent forwards with pace to burn so can play the blanket defence whilst counter-attacking at speed. But has the game moved on now? Donegal played this way for 3 years under Rory Gallagher and didn't have any success. The two most defensive teams Donegal have faced in the league this year have been Galway and Kildare, so the blanket defence is alive and well.

Doing well in the league, while nice ultimately means nothing in the quest for Sam. Our goal this year has to be super 8 football and the most direct route to that runs straight through mayo in may. I don't think this squad will be losing the run of themselves winning a few games in February and March. It's all about peaking at the right time. I trust Kevin will have us doing that.

It's ridiculous that punditry has yet to move on from 2002. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13707 - 06/03/2018 10:20:36 2082138 Link 3 |
Yep that connacht final in May should be Galways main aim.

Where have you seen the stats on foot passing? Galway certainly look to kick the ball into the forwards a lot more than Tyrone have done in recent years but would be interesting to see what the stats are. JDF (Galway) - Posts: 322 - 06/03/2018 13:43:49 2082193 Link 0 |
Do you have a link to the stats? You be an interesting read.

Belclare, I cant argue against the fact that Mayo could possibly win Connacht and Sam this year. But the way you disrespect your own county really annoys me. They have won 4 in 4 in Div 1, that is a good acheivement (be greatful) its massive progress from what they were like 4-6 years ago. Dont forget they are on a 4 or 5 win streak against Mayo. On May 13th it can go anyway but I honestly think Galway will come out victorious and win Connacht. Will Galway win Sam? Not yet, I give it 1 or 2 years till we see Sam in Galway. Time will only tell. Cheer up Lad!!!

Oafleafer you really should know belclare at this stage. His comment is tongue in cheek and he has an intense dislike for Mayo.

Thanks for the question, I jot down stats at half and full-time from the telly, very avant-garde. Galway still quasi-traditional. Good luck on Saturday.
