Goals win games but can be prevented. it was 15 scores to 17.
I can never understand this post match analysis which counts the number of scores rather than total up the number of points. There is a reason why a goal is worth 3 points and that is because they are supposed to be much more difficult to score.
Mickey Harte has yet to prove that he can adapt tactically to prevent goal chances against his side while still carrying a goal threat at the other end of the pitch. He did neither last weekend.
The latter was in no small part to the way Donegal set up. Derry was scoring goals for fun coming into last weekends game.
