Dessie Dolan has urged Tom Cribbin and the Westmeath players to approach Sunday's Leinster SFC semi-final fixture against Dublin with 'ambition'.
After suffering heavy defeats at headquarters to the Dubs in the last two years, the Lake County great stresses that they have nothing to lose by going with a more attack-minded gameplan.
"A lot of Westmeath supporters will be very frustrated if we go to Croke Park and play like that again," Dolan told The Irish Independent.
"Even when it was quite clear that Dublin were getting away last year Westmeath just kept their defensive shape.
"What is there to fear? We've lost to them by 13 and 15 points playing a particular way.
"If that's the case again then at least play to the team's strengths and attack them."
