I wasn't at the game yesterday, so can't comment on the action itself and what the referee did. However, to draw a game like this when you're so far in front, collapse and need a late goal to equalise is unforgivable. There's no doubt in my mind that Armagh under McGeeney have developed in their attacking game and we have a forward line that is the envy of teams outside of the top four or five. However, defensively we are a shambles at times. It's almost like we've sacrificed the defensive side of things to just outscore teams and then hope to hold on. Maybe we just don't have enough players that are defensively good enough? It's rare that you will dominate a game from start to finish and you always expect the opposition to get on a bit of a run and reduce the score, but to overturn that sort of score speaks to a team that is defensively naive and can switch off mentally when they think the game is won. This is something that we've seen time and time again in McGeeney's time in charge. In the first few years it could be put down to a young team finding their way at this level. At this point though, they are all, bar one or two, experienced county players and should know how to see out games. But they don't and as long as they don't, it's what will hold this team back.
Yesterday should have seen us taking a big step towards promotion. Now we are one of a number of teams that are in with a shout and if we continue to switch off like this, we don't deserve to get promoted.
