The big mistake has been building the team around a core of senior players who have been around for 10 years and whose basic skill sets are the same as they were back then, how a management team thought that half forward line was going to enable a team win at this
Level is beyond me, the use of the panel is abysmal, we are bringing on subs almost reluctantly and leaving fellas on who are cleary shot.
The basics of the team are way off, the kickout ‘strategy’ and playing runners as opposed to players who can run and kick is something that other counties did 10 years ago, cork football hasn’t been innovative ever imo.
It would be more preferable to see how the likes of Buckley, murphy, cashman, herlihy would get on rather then the current selection thst is clearly just wrong.
As things stand we are getting relegated with a relatively old team leaving the next man up, god help him with an even bigger job, and relegation is a certainty, as someone said leaving yesterday with the way this team are at the moment it is more likely they will end up with zero points as opposed to 6 or more.
What is the coach doing and how is he getting away with the kickout set up? How is this not being challenged at this stage by any senior player?
I don’t believe that Cavan or Louth have much better players than us, but they are more coherent and better coached.
This group have been supported to the hilt in terms of what an intercounty team need and it has produced nothing, this year is turning out almost exactly like the year after we
Got to the super 8s with McCarthy a few years ago and we have a lot of the same players involved.
