I think Derry's weakness ( if you can call it that ) is that they can really lift themselves for the big teams and can fall in a heap against so called lesser opposition - why do you think that it is ?
Good question. uummm sometimes i think you can focus more when your facing whats perceived to be bigger oppositon. Being the under-dog certainly has its advantages. You know you have it all to do if you are to win and progress, whereas whilst being favourites like derry were against Monaghan perhaps a little bit of complacency crept into the heads of the players. Some players that is, depends on the individual i guess. This is where good management comes in IMHO. Plus knowing in the back of your head you will get a nother bite at the cherry maybe had a bearing too.
This same happens down to club level as well.
What you reckon??
