Replying To PoolSturgeon: "He has been good in the last few games alright. But would I start him against a Limerick or Cork? No I wouldnt...likely to get more out of him sprung from the bench. Our new style of mainly a short passing game suits him well but imo he's not that effective in a long ball game."
I agree completely. His role is perfect as a "finisher" as they call them these days to pop over 2/3 points when legs get tired and space opens up later in games
Against the top teams, you can substitute some hurling ability for athleticism and the ability to break tackles etc.
Replying To 1shot: "Is it just me or am I the only one that can't understand MD interviews after a game. Yesterday he focused on the come back and the fight of the players which is all well and good but surely we should not have be in that position. How many games is it now that teams are going straight through our defence and scoring goals for fun. Surly he should be trying to fix and strengthen the defensive package. Does he not see it? Dublin will target that area for sure. Please tell me he see it?"
The usual best tactic for a manager is to talk as much as they have to and divulge as little as possible, talk about the obvious and avoid the tactic issues they they may be contemplating or devising.
