Canning must be let wander

HOW many goals will Joe Canning score tomorrow?

It’s a simplistic question, clearly. It may well turn out to be an irrelevant question, given that Galway could win without Canning sending the green flag flying. But it’s a question that has to be asked nonetheless. On two counts.

First off it’s relevant in tomorrow’s context. On the one hand we have a man who’s scored 13 goals in his 17 championship appearances, on the other a team who conceded seven goals last time out. Make it 14 or 15 in 18 appearances and, unless Galway do something stupid in defence, that’ll be that for Waterford.
