Lads forget about ifs and buts Saturday comes first... let's pack the place and get a great buzz and and atmosphere like the kk game last summer.... I think we can beat Galway Davy is the best around at studying where we went wrong in Leinster final last year and drilling it into the players... in my opinion we lost the Leinster final in the 5 mins before and after half time...we didn't have Recks speed or paudie Foley's physicality last year and in my opinion I think team is better balanced now... we have to get match ups right reck on Conor whelan Ryan on Conor cooney Donohoe on concannon... Paudie foley on Joseph Cooney o hanlon on joe canning and O Keefe on Mannion... also what way do we play the forwards chin and jack o will start on the wings... but what we do after that do we play mac at Rory o at full forward and try pull Burke over the place or McDonald at center forward to try take McInerney on physically which no one can in my opinion... anyway roll on Saturday can wait

I wouldnt like to try taking on McInerney physically. We should pull Burke and him all over Wexford park. Perhaps we should put Kevin Foley on McInerney! It may sound stupid in the first instance but it might work. I would play Chin full forward and give him plenty of space.

a galway man was in today.he said he thought galway might not play strongest team.
he said they would rather play wexford in a leinster final,beat them,after shadow boxing on saturday.
through to all ireland semi final.said donohoe was playing this as a test the squad.
and they doubt they would lose to dublin in salthill.
would be very surprised myself.

Team named we re unchanged. Davy not putting out a weakened team never thought he would......

This is a total shambles. We have no panel. Our tackling is dreadful and very indisciplined, with too many late tackles giving away silly frees.
Shaun Murphy has swept up a lot of ball but I don't think he has hit one accurate pass.
Chin is totally anonymous
So is Jack O Connor
But we have no one of any use to bring on.

Well as far as chestening experiences go, that tops the bill. Although a lot of posters on here have become as touchy as Liverpool fans when it comes to any form of criticism towards the team, I'll still voice my concerns. The Wexford hurlers are hardly that much of a sanctity that criticism is sac relige? When you think about, us fans are essentially share holders in the team so are entitled to our opinion.

The only players that can hold their hands up as playing anywhere near their standard are Paudie Foley and Aidan Nolan. In fairness to Morris too he had his bright moments up front and worked hard given the lack of supply. You'd have to be concerned about Chin's form. Only came into it when we were nine points down, and I'm beginning to wonder whether his standing as the public face of the team is getting to his head. Yes he scored 1-4 from play vs Offaly last week, but today shows how far off the pace the Faithful are.

Dee was hardly mentioned either, while Jacko again struggled to make an impression at wing-forward. Our wide count is an ongoing concern, but the two biggest worries today was how we appeared to give up as Galway kept tagging on scores, and our lack of proactivity from the sideline as things were going south from an early stage. Donohoe vs Cooney was reminscint of the mismatch in last year's Leinster final, and while it was addressed at half-time, the horse had bolted long before then.

Canning proved he is one of the all-time greats, and certainly more of an all-round threat than Reid, and its perhaps testament to the Tribesmen's superiority that the usually dominant McInerney was anonymous.

Someone mentioned our lack of creativity from sideline cuts, and I initially thought it was clutching at straws, but Joe really demonstrated the value of being adroit at them. I will say though, they need to introduce something similar to a black-card in hurling as cynical fouling has reached pandemic levels, not that Wexford have the cuteness to partake in such antics.

I'd have to question removing Kevin Foley, although not one of his better games he was more useful than chin and would have been more useful at delivering balls than Murphy. Because he played sweeper Murphy was the player who had most touches of the ball of any player on either side, but the number of times he misplaced passes or sent the ball out over the sideline was simply unacceptable, and it has been the case throughout the league, yet management don't seem to be addressing this massive issue at all. And how on earth did any management team worth their salt decide it was a good idea to leave donohoe on cooney. Dreadful on both the field and the sideline

Bad night lads but instead of criticizing our lads I'm going to go applaud Galway there size skill movement are unreal and as for joe canning i think that man is getting better... as for us our big lads didn't show up chin jack o d o....Ryan Morris Nolan and Rory o thought Were our best... Shaun Murphy distribution tonight was so poor it was unreal... anyway roll on next Saturday night

Thing is we still so far off the mark to be contenders, we not near physical enough. One question How Davy didn't take off Chin? He was so poor today and has been all year. Galways forward movement is something else, they have scorers everywhere. Shaun Murphy distribution was so bad today. How many times did we give the ball away with bad hand passes and what's this thing with trying to flick the ball over Galways heads? Chin,McDonald,Kehoe? Why didn't Davy throw on Dunne and Dunbar for 20 mins instead of Chin and Morris? At least their pace might trouble Galway. It's gonna be hard to pick themselves up from this flat display to go to Kilkenny next weekend.

A serious reality check, important to remember that Galway are a serious outfit, we simply couldn't cope with their size and physicality. Few worrying things, why didn't we empty the bench given the kk game next week, chin needs to get back to basics, so disappointing it's unreal, Murphy's distribution was shocking, thought Aidan Nolan stood up well. Was a shocking spectacle tho, the sweeper system has brought us a fair way but when it goes wrong and u persist with it it's very deflating. RThink Reck is wasted corner back. Will be a huge ask to go to kk next week and win, but Galway really look the outstanding team, Canning as good as I've ever seen, magnificent hurler

I afraid now to be honest because we looked tired and flat, a bit like last year from the Leinster final on.Are we putting to much in the league and then falling flat come championship. Not using our squad more early in league is coming back to haunt us now. Also we can't afford to have our best men not performing I.e Mac and chin. 4weeks in a row lot to ask now going to Nowlan park

DRaw or a win we into a Leinster final. Lose again we into a qualifier. Still a long way off winning an All Ireland. Five or six players were totally anonymous tonight and we can't afford that. Galway are different gravy

sometimes beano it depends who is saying what and whether they say anything positive or are just knifing them while never saying a bad word elsewhere.
back to the match.it was terrible. we never even laid a punch on them.all our big men outclassed.
where has the like of chin been throughout this year?i dont get to many matches but i have heard so much criticism of him.for a man in the papers every week.
but lets be honest here.we have 15 hurlers.the like of dumbar and dunne are average a5 best.
is eoin moore still not fit?
hard to find positives,big job on hands to pick them up for saturday.
