An All-Ireland semi-final and no Dublin or Kerry left. The sense of opportunity was already huge but Armagh's heroics yesterday ramped things up another level.
An All-Ireland semi-final and no Dublin or Kerry left. The sense of opportunity was already huge but Armagh's heroics yesterday ramped things up another level.
The drug is McGuinness, and in terms of performance enhancers, it appears unmatched. But whose journey is ending this weekend with Sam so tantalisingly close?McGuinness will be confident that in Brendan McCole and Eoghán Bán Gallagher he has the perfect foils for the key Galway talismen of Shane Walsh and Damian Comer. The potential of Eoghán Bán on Shane Walsh has the added benefit of not just putting tabs on a dangerman but presenting an attacking advantage.
Rather than a classic talisman, Donegal are an attacking unit and in many ways are harder to shut down as a result. Take for example their half-backs who will cause Joyce more worry than perhaps any of their forwards. in a game of bluff between two friends, who between McGuinness and Joyce will blink first and alter a key line in their team?It’s easy to foresee McGuinness in his Donegal planning bunker circling Conor Gleeson’s name in big red pen.
I feel this is his more likely choice. Galway will kick long and at every opportunity try to force Shaun Patton to do the same. The one risk is that Donegal have a tried and tested punch on tactic from their long kick-out that has got them goals on many occasions and with a major so potentially decisive, Galway will have to stay mindful of this threat.The two attacking shapes will likely remain as they have been.
I would imagine whatever Donegal player ends up beside them in a phase of play, the directive will be the same – run.
