Might as well get this one up and running. Not as far to travel for this game so hopefully a good turnout.

We might put down a marker but the train might have left the station.

I think we actually have a great chance i expect galway to beat monaghan, no way will they want to lose momentum at this stage and at home in front of an expectant crowd. I only saw the second half of the monaghan game but i was impressed by the fight in the young lads attitude was way better (if not the performance) hopefully foley and morley are fit bog additions i believe the team below is what i would go for if they are. Murphy Tom o sullivan Foley Shanahan Murphy Morley White Moran Maher Obrien O shea Burns Clifford Donaghy Geaney

One eye on Salthill Unless 45000 people turn up and delay the start by 15 minutes Not a good place to be, relying on the hope that Galway would care to avoid Dublin next up. Was looking at the Galway site and lots of people looking for resting their A team for Monaghan, with a view to being fresh for Dublin. They may be jumping ahead of themselves but they expect to have to play Dublin eventually!! We can only do what we have to do and deal with whatever happens.

I think Griffin should start at 8. He would certainly have the legs on Kildare's Moolick. Let Moran battle away against Feeley.
Ronan Shanahan & O Sullivan have shown enough to earn their places on the team once again. Killian Young at 3.
Crowley looks like a man who could do with a rest. If Morley is fit, 6 is the place for him. He did a fitness test of sorts before the game in front of us on Sunday. He was only moving in straight lines and didn't look to be moving well to my eyes. Did anybody else see this & what did they think?
Mícheál Burns gave the team huge energy last Sunday. He deserves to start ahead of Mc Carthy.
I think Jameso is worth a shot at 11, it might give him a bit of confidence if he gets on enough ball rather than living off scraps inside.

The biggest worry for Saturday is that Monaghan are fighting for something whereas Galway are already through with pride and a half notion of avoiding Dublin till the final as their motivation - somehow I think Monaghan will have more fight in them.
Regardless all we can do is play our game and hope for the best.

Difficult one for kevin walsh do you rest your better players to keep them fresh for a semi a week away and run the risk of getting well beat in their home patch? Momentum and confidence are funny things in sport awful risky resting players if for example they do and monaghan beat them by 5-6 points could be damaging for morale and then have to go out 7 days later away to dublin i think they will go for it a bruised and battered Donegal/tyrone with only 6 days rest against a diblin team after a little training session against roscommon no brainer for me id go full tilt to beat monaghan.

Momentum is certainly key and better to be facing Tyrone/Donegal on the back of a third straight win than ‘gathering’ yourself after a defeat and face Dublin 1 week later. That having been said, I suspect Monaghan will beat Galway regardless of what team Galway field for the simple reason that I think Monaghan are a better team than Galway, further along in terms of their development and have a strong momentum of their own.

Worst case scenario for Walsh and Galway would be to fall between 2 stools. Were they to put out their strongest team, get bate and pick up injuries on the day. I reckon they'll put out their strongest team and play to win. They might still be beaten by Monaghan but he'd never be forgiven in Galway if they threw this game only to be beaten by Dublin. He wouldn't risk that fate.

Or... Galway will put the shackles on McManus and possibly limit him to 3 points. All they have do then is foul outside Beggans range and you are left with Monaghans getting a few points from Karl o Connell. In other words...about 10 or 12 points in total like against Fermanagh. And Kildare. Galway at home should get 14 or 15 points with the aid of a few obligatory hometown calls by the ref.

Apart from what was mentioned above If Galway make changes then those boys will want to put there hand up for a potential place in the team for the semi final. I think Galway will approach this professionally and will want to maintain a winning momentum.

Anything is possible Mickmack (although, I'm not sure what you mean about 'outside Beggans range' given what we witnessed on Sunday)but I think Monaghan are much better equipped to deal with the approach you suggest than say we are. Without doubt they underestimated Fermanagh. I assume they will have learned from last Sunday also about killing off games (or the need to do so). Galway beat Monaghan by 4pts in the league game but Monaghan had a player sent off reasonably early in the game I think. I would love to see Galway win (assuming we beat Kildare by 5pts or so which may be a big assumption)but just don't think it's very likely. This Monaghan team is on the road a while and it's possibly now or never. Restricting McManus to 3pts will be a neat trick also....

Galway could pay a price in lost momentum and form if they take their foot off the pedal against Monaghan. You just cant turn it on and off on demand. I expect them to go full tilt against Monaghan. Monaghan beat Kildare by two points and Galway beat Kildare by three in close games so it hard to knock exactly the true worth of this group. Kerry so low and poorly down the table suggests they have been light years off cutting edge in the last few weeks, for what ever reason that is.
Regarding the teams with refined systems they limit McManus to a pont or two from play, he had scored 1-2 or 3 off Kerry before breakfast had begun................

I think Galway will play to win. If a guy is carrying knocks, they might not risk him but I see them starting with their best players. If they win, they are up against a Tyrone or Donegal team who will have played an even tougher game. If they lose, they are up against a well rested Dublin team so they will have no advantage in terms of freshness.

I’d like to see the forwards set up with 2 in the half forward line as play makers with the option of making a late run into the full forward line- this would be Geaney & O Shea,
2 workers who would cover a lot of ground and shift quick ball to the aforementioned 2- this would be burns and McCarthy/O brien (whoever is s better tackler) and
2 inside of Donaghy and Clifford with Geaney joining them from the half forward line when possible.
I feel this would give the lads inside some space while still giving them support and hopefully a good supply of ball. Geaney dropped deep a lot for UCC so can handle this role

Should be a decent battle but galway as you say have a greater spread of scorers i fully expect them to do us a favour just hope we capitalise!

Same here, Morley was working with the physio who immediately they had finished went to Fitzmaurice to update him - not looking good for Morley if we are hoping to start him the next day - maybe the two weeks will bring about sufficient improvement.

For Salthill - probably best to commit any fouls east of Athenry.

I think Galway will want to win this game, They might feel that they can leave one or two guys on the line and still get the win and if things aren't working out bring them on . They have done their part in the super 8's and now for the first time they have a couple of options as regards team selection. I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if Monaghon won.

Completely disillusioned following my recent trips to Clones and Croke Park. I have complete faith in the players but we need a game plan. If we do manage to scrape through and meet the Dubs in the semi I for one will abstain my season ticket as I cannot stomach our negative "tictacs" over the last 5 years

Put yourself in a Kildare players shoes. Would you recklessly dive on a breaking ball like Brian Begley did last sunday to prevent the winning point ...after the DC goal.
They will want to do their best and win etc but... a bit of recklessness is needed borne out of a desire to get the prize on offer...and there is no prize for kildare.

on the basis that Foley and Morley are not right
1. B Kelly 2. R Shanahan 3. P Crowley 4. T Sullivan 5. P Murphy 6. M Griffin 7. G White 8. D Moran 9. J Barry 10. S O'Shea 11. P. Geaney 12. M Burns 13. D Clifford 14. K Donaghy 15. J O'Donoghue
- Stephen O Brien main impact sub in the forwards, Maher bit earlier midfield the next day
Jack Barry bit lucky to hold on , too much chopping and changing doesn't serve much a purpose, you need to give lads a chance to find form. still feel Shane Murphy got a real raw deal

I'll eat my hat if they do something radical like picking Griffin at 6 or 8. Kelly cert to start, couldn't see the goal keeping musical chairs raising its head again this summer.
