result Kildare 12 Cavan 16
Duffy came on TK was on the benchI think so much of our inconsistencies lies with not having a firm starting 15. Certainly confuses me when it comes to our style of plan and game plan.
No disrespect to Crealy or Mackin but not the midfield I would be starting with. Evident tonight that we were lacking a target man in the full forward line, albeit Grugan, Soupy and Forker did well to try breakdown a Louth defence with Mickey Hartes stamp all over it.
I'd like to have seen McConville get 10minutes of play and for Grimley or Oisin to have been introduced a bit sooner to contest the opposition kick out.
Ref was a bit inconsistent but we did also get a number of questionable decisions in our favour.
A poor display tonight but does need to be seen within the context of missing Rian, Murnin, TK, Duffy, Nugent to name a few.
Plenty of work to be done, but it's only January.

That comment from him was a disgrace imo,After geezer taking a pop at armagh fans expectations during the week a lot more was expected.
Personally im not expecting armagh to win an all ireland, what i do expect is for us to play some kind of decent football and not the absolute shite we are being fed at the minute. I really really hope that was just a rusty early season there at the office but going on previous seasons we are just set to see another frustrating season under a manager that should not be so comfortable in his job
I half understand the tactics in first half against the wind but with the wind we should of been more attacking, I don't understand dropping off the kick out in second half, and some of our tackling was poor, I just hope we improve because that's as poor as the Monaghan match for me, I dunno if we have to blame mcgeeney or blame the other coaches like McKeever who looks after the defensive stuff,Really, really poor. Slow, ponderous, everyone having to bounce and solo rather than move the ball when breaking from defence. If Mulroy has shooting boots on we're beat and rightly so.
Every time we go ahead we retreat back. So nervy looking as usual when ahead. Same old, same old at the end, hanging on for dear lives and panic everywhere including the line.
A number of players nowhere near it at this level and individual brilliance from Soupy saved our skins.
Positives = 2 points and can't get any worse.. I hope.
He didn’t have a pop ffs. It was tongue in cheek. If you read the programme today you’d have seen his true thoughts on our fansAfter geezer taking a pop at armagh fans expectations during the week a lot more was expected.

Good result for them. But put it into context. Dublin missing majority of players and recent years haven't took league that seriouslyGood job we weren't playing Monaghan tonight
No doubt. One game at a time.We do need to have our expectations tempered, new season and everything. Focus on getting out of D2 to D1 first.
It's a great win though as you say. That Monaghan team would have beaten our team well tonight.Good result for them. But put it into context. Dublin missing majority of players and recent years haven't took league that seriously
