Derry manager Rory Gallagher says he wants his side to produce consistent performances for opposing teams to fear them.
Having already secured promotion, the Oak Leafers will go head-to-head with Offaly in the Allianz Football League Division 3 final at Croke Park this evening (throw-in 5pm), the only decider across the four divisions to be played. The Fermanagh native believes this is just the start of bigger things to come from his charges.
“I'd like to think there are bigger days to come for them,” Gallagher told BBC Sport.
“I do sense there is a bit of pride in the county team now and you don't want to go in with a flat atmosphere hoping you can pull of a result.
“We want to go in producing consistent form and being a team other teams fear.
“We are not at that level yet. There are four teams in Division One and none of those teams would necessarily fear us yet.
“We have a long way to go before teams fear us.”
