As an outsider looking in I reckon you are very average @ FB, CHB, MF & CHF.
We have a chance next week and the lads need to take it. At the very least they need to prove their championship credentials by winning. We were all over Mayo but in the end had to hang on for a point, we played well against Cork until the last fifteen, we were better than Dublin but lost, we out classed Armagh but only won by a point. I have no doubt they will put in a good shift next week but there is that wee bit of killer instinct missing, that little bit extra that edges one team ahead of another. There is no switch of player or smart tactical move that will solve this it will have to come from within the players and the team.
Everything else is fine. For all our debates, Down are now playing some of the best football in the country, it is just a matter of somehow the lads learning to convert that quality football into victorys. That sort of 1990's Meath spirit.
Kerry are the form team at the minute so it would be a tremendous step up for the lads if they could do it. Who would have thought even two years ago that we would be in the mix for a Division 1 title shot come the last weekend of league games?
