Well... probably best not to criticise something you haven't actually watched yet still consider it essential that people need to hear your musings on realityBig reality check. Missed the game but it seemed Cork lacked composure and discipline. 1 red card and another should have got one.
Although we need to be careful now lads lest we be accused of talking ‘poison’. We can’t criticise these players lads.
As somebody who actually went to the game- my initial thoughts are that poor first touch, a lack of understanding between attacking players and hesitancy around decision making hurt us badly.
The defending, or lack of, for the first goal was baffling.
everyone seemed to be waiting for someone else to get a tackle in.
Rob Downey was mighty, and given that we were down to 14 I thought we showed some resilience in preventing a rout.
Shane Barrett slipping, when heading towards goal in the first half, after a lovely pass from TOC stands out in my mind as the missed chance that could have changed the momentum, would have brought the Cork crowd roaring into the game.
The amount of dropped and fumbled balls was painful to watch.
Hoping that it's something that will be eradicated and that first touch is light years better come the end of April
