I would be interested to know why the fixture has been changed, not that it makes any difference to the game itself. It's one we just have to win. I've taken a real dislike to Fermanagh over the last few years and the thought of them winning promotion against us is a horrible one. At the same time it's remarkable how well they are doing with the players they have. They have a couple of top players like Cullen and Donnelly and the rest work perfectly to the suffocating system they try to drag you into and then catch you on the break.
I think there's a bit of frustration on our part as fans, as we've seen glimpses over the last few years of what we can do and it makes it makes it even more frustrating when you see how a limited side like Fermanagh can succeed when everything comes together for them. Our two main forwards, Campbell and Clarke are only back on the panel this year and are still not back to the level they were from a few seasons ago. Other key players like Murnin, Burns, Rafferty and Hughes are either injured or only making a comeback now. Losing Donaghy has been a huge loss. We've seen the likes of Grugan really struggle with his form, which effects the team's ability to perform, such is his play making importance to it. Our discipline and poor tackling is costing us massively. It's at the stage now where we don't really get the benefit of the doubt on certain decisions from the ref because our track record is so bad. We've chucked away two extra points with the draws against Kildare and Clare that would have us safe at the very least at this point. So I think there are a number of contributing factors to where we are to date. Staying in Division Two should have been our main objective at the start of the league and if we can do that, then it's a positive. Going back to Division Three would be a real kick in the teeth.
