Mayo must stop conceding goals

(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post


The two goals were not "bad luck" or just unfortunate. They were both due to defensive errors.

First, a set piece, the 3 full forwards pull out and made lateral runs, Connolly picked up the ball instead of Rock. Action required here is sweeper to spot something unusual is happening and get to the penalty spot asap.

Second, no one picked up fenton as he wandered into that left flank.

I'm sorry, but how do you expect every Mayo player to read every single Dublin players movement over the course of 70 plus minutes when they play football at the ferocuous pace they do?
