Jasus we're a hard bunch to please, one thing we'll all agree on is Armagh are inconsistent. On our day we're a match for any team but can't do it every week, this im afraid where we find the answers...the difference between Armagh and top Div 1 teams are they're similar quality players to us but they do it week in and week out on a consistent basis and that's what makes them top players (IMO). A manager will know who his best players are but sending them out on match day hoping they're going to perform whereas Dublins of this world go out knowing they're going to perform. Someone mentioned the Cross and Kilcoo teams, they as club players and that level perform every week to their level (club) and that's what make them great teams.
So to break it down for us all...our players are good but not great, we keep going on about having a Div 1 forward line. I'm not so sure on that TBH, we'll only know when we get there and are being marked by the best defenders, no doubt we have quality up front and are prob more talented than most in Div 2 but lets be real here the difference between Div 1 & 2 is massive and would be a big step for this Armagh team.
As far as i'm concerned Armagh are doing rightly and the players all seem to be behind KMcG, is KMcG tactically astute? not sure but he's been around the game long enough and def has a shrewd man with him in Jim McCorry so if them two can't get more from these players i doubt anyone else will....I think that's what is so great about following Armagh (Roller coaster ride) we never know if we'll win and we always know there is a big scalp in this team too, we moan, we complain, we shout, we want players dropped, we want managers sacked but we turn up the following week again to go through it all again...
C'mon Armagh
