Former Dublin star Ciaran Whelan says it’ll be interesting to see if Kildare can bounce back against Louth this weekend and get their second win of their Allianz Football League campaign.
The Lilywhites have lost three of their four outings in Division 2 thus far and will know that defeat in Ardee this Sunday will leave them in serious danger of relegation with two rounds to go.
Speaking on the RTE GAA podcast, Whelan said he expected Glenn Ryan’s men to find it difficult to break down the Wee County this weekend.
"There's a sense of an unhappy camp there. It's going to be interesting to see can they get anything from the game in Louth,” he said.
"They'll find Louth difficult to break down; they are well organised, have a good structure of play, and are playing well on the counter-attack. We know the Mickey Harte template.
"The criticism of Kildare is that they don't look like they know what they're doing."
On Louth, he added: "They have a tight have a tight defensive shape, have loads of really good workers in that team, but also enough bits of quality sprinkled around it as well at the other end."
