Campbell was phenomenal and today showed exactly why he is captain.

Morgan was playing well until taken off...unless that was an injury possibly a mistake.

Why does Murnin only ever get a few minutes in a game? He never seems to get an substantial time.

On the plus side how clinical were our forwards! Was great to see, if we are persistent with that I suspect we would be in an Ulster final this year.

We really need to regulate energy levels better at 60 minutes I remember Roscommon a few years ago having a field day with us after 60 mins, last week it was Tyrone and this week it was Donegal.

We were also understrength, Donegal played exactly the same blanket defence that we did & haemorrhaged the exact same score we did, so presumably they were also not able to defend.
We have issues that have existed for a while but surely even you can see some positives from tonight's performance given the injuries we suffered last week & the hammering we got from Donegal last November.

Morgan, constantly fouls, mc cabe same. Mc Brearty walsed through us at will and donegal left 2-03 behind them in that first half. O hanlon isnt a half back and Mc quillan was anonymous. The difference between donegal and us is that donegal attacked with intent for 70 mins and will kick on when their injured players come back. We wouldnt have fared any better with a full deck becuase we concede heavy every game we play. We cant defend. We either foul, or let players carve us open up the middle. Positionally we are poor and we are sacrificing forwards to try and shore up defence, it isnt working and we really havent kicked on. Im normally upbeat and more positive than most on Armagh football, I just dont see anything improving much at the minute. We will be 4 or 5 up against Roscommon next and then revert to type. Tactically Armagh are a poor outfit and there is deadwood in the team being carried.

Im usually very and overly optimistic about Armagh, but im prepared to call a spade a spade here, thats an Armagh team that cant defend.

Morgan had a decent game. Was unlock to be blown up by Deegan for a free which led to a point. Deegan gave a few soft frees. Both ways in fairness. I like McCabe but agree with ye. McQuillan made a few good runs and scored a good point. Hardly anonymous

I was thinking when McQuillan took that score I thought he would have got a few more from the onwards...he would have tormented the Donegal defence.... Him and Murnin would be great together especially when we seem to start falling apart in the last 10

On another note, Brendan Donaghy was left on the bench again fully fit. Make of it what you will but seems strange as I think he would have really counted at some stage in all 3 games.

Tonight was disappointing yes but given the injury list, the fact the last time we played Donegal the game was over after 20 minutes, how many people were actually expecting a result? We played some good football at times tonight, is there stuff to work on of course but any other year that performance would probably have stood by us to stay in division 1. We have came a long way from division 3 don't you think? I thought we did very well tonight

It was a good performance but it was a game we needed to win. We need division 1 to develop and we are making mistakes we shouldn't be making at any level which is the most frustrating part of it for me anyway.
