Replying To BostonGuy: "Lets not get carried away here and put a Halo on Cunningham, he was/is a decent manager. Remember there was a revolt to get rid of him and MD was appointed. MD brought in a serious S&C guy who I think made a huge difference, he won in 2017 and was a puck away form winning in 2018. Joe Canning was a big part of why they were successful and we had the raw material there. MD "tweaked it", roving Joe Canning and a young Conor Whelan, a Conor Cooney who could score and a huge blocker with Gearoid Mac in the center, like a Brian Hogan not a great hurler but hard to get past. Point is we had a solid team for a number of years but couldn't get over the line. I think Henry will be proven to be a good manager in the future, he simply did not have the talent, neither does MD right now and it starts out with Minor and U 20 if we plan to be competitive in 4 years. There are so many kids hurling in Galway, by law of averages there has to be some raw talent we should be able to harness but it has to start now with U16, 18 and 20 we can forget about seniors for a while. TBH I would prefer to see Galway win a couple of underage titles now than see Galway Seniors get to a semi or final and get hammered."
You will be waiting for those underage titles. Galway U20s blown away Dublin, Minors blown away by Clare and the U16s will struggle too. I believe Saturday evening was one man's last appearance and that's why he started. A few more must go. MD needs to be ruthless. Make the big decisions and build but I don't think it's in him. His interviews would nearly put you asleep so I wonder what his motivational speeches are like before a big game. Maybe I'm being harsh.
