Pre match For some reason I thought we'd have a fair cut off kerry down in killarney the last day , after watching us play our league games I thought we were converting our scoring chances much better this year and I had a bit of optimism before the game of giving kerry a rattle anyway.
After getting D1 promotion I had hopes of us being more adventurous in this game with nothing to lose.
But it was fairly disappointing stuff,
I didn't watch it back on tv, but from what i remember it was way too much lateral play, recycling, low risk passing and so slow at moving the ball forward and we become some predictable from the opposition point of view. its become expected and accepted that we are just terrible Tactically.
Like if you just tuned in After 58 or 60 mins there was only a few points in it after driscol goal , all to play for , game on you would be thinking but being there watching it , our style of play, I don't think the players truly believe in themselves or the fans really.
We all know we wont win Sam this year but when you see the success that roscommon, West meath had from playing more adventurous football that could easily be us, in some of our league games we were more adventurous like the 1st half against kildare was very good , 1st half against limerick was decent, but against decent opposition its like our players are so poorly coached or is it our game plan is so bad I dont know
God forbid if we started taking risks for rewards, for starters maybe being more direct and more aggressive in our attacking play i honestly believe we'd have a decent team .
The league game between us and meath was quiet entertaining and we were closely matched on both occasions. Hopefully we get the job done this Saturday.
