The very best of luck to the minors and seniors today. For us to win, we need to do a lot of things we haven't done this year so far. Hopefully we can raise it and get over the line but it the heart ruling the head stuff:)

Minors with it all to do at HT, their full-forward-line is skinning our full-back-line and our full-forward-line just can't make the ball stick, we've made too many handling errors across the pitch, commentator was saying we had a very strong wind although Galway long puck-outs were still going reasonably long, don't think the current black card rule is fit for purpose and especially at minor, a ten-minute sin-bin seems disproportionate in a sixty-minute game, think the rule has got out of hand and it's gone away from what it was supposed to punish in cynical fouls and now just punishes any foul that stops even a half-chance at getting a goal

Bit of a disaster from the Minors, pretty much everything that could have gone wrong did go wrong, were second to every ball and were second to every break, Kennedy TBF to him brought it to Galway and Tobinto some extent but it was a very flat performance compared to the second half from last week

Galway hit a good few wides but they were mainly in the first ten minutes and the last ten minutes, felt like they couldn't miss in between that period bar the one time where they missed three goal chances in the same attack

I'm not going to write the Minors off anyway, this Galway side had beaten Laois by 4, Kilkenny by 2, and drew with Dublin, KK beat Dublin by 1 in the other SF so strictly on formlines, there shouldn't have been much between any of the four sides, would say today was just a write-off and they're capable of much, much better than that, this sort of thing can happen regularly enough at Minor, disappointing to play as poorly as that and to miss out on what could have been a winnable Leinster Championship but on the plus side, they still have another game to come against Munster opposition, important that they put this one behind them and show that they are much, much better than today

Dear god our 1st touch is shocking ive not seen enough in 1st half to suggest we can turn this around,im hoping to be proved wrong but it doesn't look likely Unfortunately

Another pathetic display here so far in Wexford Park.

Conceded 2 awful goals. Terrible defending for 2nd and huge error for 1st.

In Portugal looking at match with a crowd of dubs. Hoping the breeze is strong.

Play breaking down trying to play it short. Playing too defensively. Forwards have no hope.

Absolutely desperate stuff 1st touch is poor shooting is as bad i said few weeks ago we depend on chin too much he gets doubled marked and that's most if not all of our attacks stopped we never looked like we could get back in to it another early exit,a very very poor day all around for wexford hurling let's hope the footballers can get a win.

That was a poor game of hurling

Bit more huff and puff in second half but precious little quality.

Very dissapointing result, and aside from a rally after HT and in the last five mins, it was a bit chastening again.

At the end of the day we scored less in losing than Kildare did vs. Galway and as usual had some horrendous wides in the second half when trying to maintain momentum. Two from Foley and one from Lee alone from memory. Didn't create any goal chances on top of that either so can't complain. In truth, Dublin weren't really too concerned, knew they had the likes of Burke, Donohoe and Hayes to pop up with a settling score when needed and could afford to block the avenues back there to keep a clean sheet.

There were some positives. Jippo was excellent and has to be our most consistent championship performer since breaking through. Thought Reck did well too and Chin dictated things a lot more around the middle. Has to stay around there. Say what you want about Fanning and Donohoe, the former kept us in the game with at least three saves and wasn't solely at fault for the first goal (hard to hit a lad with a short puckout when he has his back to you), while Donohoe is a far better stickman than he gets credit for and is by far our best option in that regard.

Special mention to Cillian Byrne too (some assist for Codd's point), who worked his ass off all day, its the best I have seen Banville play as well.

However, Carley struggled again, Hearne seems to have gone off the boil a bit too and we are running out of positions to try Conor Foley in at this stage.

That was our best chance of salvaging the season, its more than likely gone now

Goals killed us in the first half and wides killed us in the second half, wouldn't have been that far behind in the first half against the big wind had it not been for the goals but that first goal was an inexplicable mistake from Fanning

Wides in the second half cost us any chance of getting close to them, we were able to whittle the lead down late on but it was too little, too late, might've had a chance to get something out of the game late on when me made that spurt had the wides not left us so far behind

Bit of a free fest and there was no flow to the game at all, neither side scored much from play in the second half, I'd say it was a hard watch as a neutral

I wanted Chin out in the half-forward-line but it was clear in the second half that we should have had him in at full-forward when we had the wind, only brought him in there in injury time which was way too late

Fanning was also too slow on puck-outs, gave them a chance to double up on Chin

Were getting cleaned out of it at times in midfield and in the forwards, this isn't really a surprise, hard to win games when you physically struggle like that

Cillian Byrne is still realistically a year or two away in terms of his physical conditioning, Simon Roche found it tough going again but I suppose that's part of the learning curve, if we're being honest, we have a few players who have given a lot to Wexford but are probably the wrong age now and then we've a good few who I think have a good future but need the experience at this level and need another year or two to physically develop, Banville was our only starter today born between 1999 and 2001 (25-27yos) and we had six of the seven youngest players on the pitch, you look at that Dublin team and you're looking at a lot of 25-28yos
