Very poor...they're believing their own hype and think they have a right to beat Roscommon.

Kerry could embarass these lads next week.

Worst half of football since Donegal #1 last year. Stopped doing everything that was working and lost the head. Went giddy trying to force goal chances after Campbell and O’Neill made a balls of the big one at the start of the half and never regained their senses.

High defensive press leaving things way too exposed, and directly leading to the Roscommon penalty. No attacking cohesion - summed up by O’Neill’s attempt from 60 yards when he had a dozen other options. And just rank bad performances from many of our most important and experienced players.

Much more concerning that the loss of two points is the way all structures and control just fell apart. I had genuinely thought we had left those sort of systems failures in the past. Lots of food for thought in the week ahead.
 
Cumiskey, again baffling as to how he's there. Average club player.

How was he on ahead of McQuillan.

Complete lack of midfield once again. What did they spend the 2 weeks doing?

Rian looks like he couldn't give a damn.

Terrible performance in 2nd half. We were well in control in 1st half I felt even though it wasn't reflected in the score.

Thats our biggest issue we are unable to keep control of games that we are on top.

Aside from Duffy, Murnin and Rafferty don't think too many players can come away with any credit

Very poor 2nd half. Same as Mayo game - very poor decision making. In a relegation battle now until we prove otherwise. Kieran's will be v disappointed today - lots to work on!

What's concerning for me is that there is a lot of bluster on here from a lot of us about how good our forwards are. They might be good but what's the point when there is no consistency by them or the rest of the team?

Hate playing Connacht teams, they are soft and now they are diving all about the place.
