Pretty poor anyway you put it, the style of football, basic errors, lack of directness, lack of power, lack of fight. I could hardly pick out anyone who showed a bit of class on the ball. Fed up watching boys coming out with the ball and throwing passes to the ground.

I honestly think we are playing the old rules, management have to adapt and there was no intention of that.

That was our golden generation of underage footballers and I'm struggling to see any of them starting for the seniors in the next couple of years.

That was the prime time for to get that team to win something, u20s will start to tail off again now with the last couple of minor teams nowhere near as strong

JGDoire

Sideways and backwards. Awful stuff !

Lesson to be learned, 1 team kicked the ball in and won, 1 team played conservative football at a snails pace and lost

At minor, individual good players can get you by, at U20s ,senior club and County senior you need proper tactics and ability to play to the new rules. We running round playing fball u seen 2/3yrs bck. It was awful stuff, scoring 12pts under the existing scoring system.

I'm also questioning the way we are trying to bring players through to senior football. Some of these lads looked top class players at minor and watching the games this year they don't stand out at all. I agree that when you play better teams with good structure you need proper attacking plans but still the lack of ambition, pace, basic skills was very poor I thought.

Gallagher telling a few home truths. Can't say I disagree with anything he said.

I would like to hear Mal call it out on this Derry Gaels podcast because that performance was shocking.

Video clip on instagram, Mcerlean failed miserably with senior. Well known his coaching is not upto scratch. Failed the players
