Yeah, I felt we'd win that by 6-7. That an issue for you?

And you were on the Donegal forum talking about dung a few weeks.

Beaten by two division 4 teams since then.

Oh dear :)

Well done to Wicklow. They kept in touch and in the end got the result. That was another annoying and avoidable loss. Westmeath 'won' the game three times but couldn't hold onto the momentum or composure when most required. Aughrim has been the graveyard for many teams!

Replying To CleanShoulder:  "That's a disgraceful match to lose from being 8 points up in the second half and with wind advantage. Absolutely no clue when it comes to game management, the turnovers given away in the last few minutes were ridiculous… in possession with less than a minute on the clock and a point up and Wicklow putting no pressure on, just hold onto the ball… handed it back to them for an equaliser and twice more after that to give them a winner. Unbelievable"
Bad decision making cost the game. First 20 could hear McCabe talking about staying out of the 'd' and holding the ball which worked. Game plan differed after where Performance dropped and lead to giving the ball away constantly. Especially the last few attacks toward the end kicking the ball into 3 men near the sideline when hooter gone. Ball only needed to be kicked out.

Hard to know. Generally has attempted to do a lot of good things but we've only managed wins against Antrim,Laois and London. Far too many avoidable losses. Going forward and I think he will get another crack at it, different options required for a number of positions. Very naive at the end in the way we managed game time both on and off the field.

The keeper issue has been a risk and it's a major question mark over McCabe and his selectors. No other county has done it, crucial position and finding two quality keepers will be vital in club championships.
