bit naive that Terry. "We lost 'cos the opposition played better than us."
Don't think you'd make a very good manager ! Why did they play better ? Are you
saying that no matter what we did we would have lost. I do believe we beat
Donny at their place despite being under the cosh for most of the match.
Explain that one.
It wasn't just that Sheehan didn't play at left back - it also meant we had a
player playing on the left who can't play there effectively and also we had
nobody who has any track record to take free kicks. Add to that a player who is
not a left back stuggling like f'ck with all their attacking down the right in
the first 20 minutes and to be honest we were lucky to get away with a 1-0
defeat. It also meant that Kilkenny was stuck out on the right out of position
and as a whole the team was completely unbalanced.
I think the decisions were poor and the manager should shoulder a lot of blame
for that result. I'm not content to sit back and say eh, they were better than
us. We could have won that game. I am worried by Macca's decision making.
