Thought we done reasonably well against a very decent Roscommon team. Some days the balls go over the bar more than wides but not yesterday. You can't have shooting accuracy like yesterday and expect to win. Real positive was the fight back to the very end. The new rules make for much more exciting games though and I'd rather lose in a game like yesterday than win a game 0-0-08 to 0-07 which was happening under the old rules.

The 3up/back rule will be un-manageable in club games. There will be murder on the sidelines as there's no way one ref can police that especially when you add in the mix games played in long grass and poorly marked pitches.

It was great to be back in Drogheda and see a full bank this early in the year.

Roscommon much better team on Sunday, fully deserved the win, wont criticize our lads too much , still a few missing and craig lennon early departure a blow.

Definitely need to beat Cavan or we will be looking down the table instead of upwards in my opinion.

One thing i will say about Sunday, our goalie making more bad kick outs/lack of concentration, cost us 4-6 points, similar in Mullingar the week before.
Great shot stopper, but collectively as a team and him , must improve.

Rossies the better outfit and good luck to them, they'll get promoted. Our lads battled well and with so many missing players its great to see so many young lads and new players getting a run out. Cavan is a must win for sure and they badly need a win on their home patch.
