can ye read lads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i'm trying to say it will take a few years for o'shea to develop the awareness donaghy has to be able to link others into the play. FFS will ye read the posts properly and don't be so quick to criticise. I'm not saying drop O'shea.
Thats why i think he is better served at 11 for now until he develops that tactical awareness for 14...
i was also pointing out that our management and not O'Shea are to blame for a lack of a game plan with his position. Conor Mort stood too near him against Cork and morts man was able to double up on O'Shea knowing he was going to try and barrel his way through. Thats where the majority of balls were lost for Mayo.
Mort should be away from O'shea and then run onto a possible lay-off.
If we are trying a big man full-forward why don't we copy the best exponents of that (donaghy). Makes sense. If we are to leave him there for Summer i'd tell him to watch every clip of Donaghy he can get hold of. I'd also tell the no. 5 and no. 7 to deliver the ball into him diagonally. Tomas o'Se plays the best ball into Donaghy. He floats it from right to left. Usually you have Dec O'sullivan running on to it at speed. When they do it right it's poetry in motion.
Thing with Aidan O'shea also is he is young and young players like getting their names on the scoreboard. I think that is hinderiing him a bit. He prob feels like he is being judged on the scores but in reality he should be our focal point who assists more so. Again that comes with experience
