Tomás ÓSé and Lee Keegan pick through the wreckage that is Derry’s championship season.
WHILE DERRY MANAGER Mickey Harte might be clinging to the hope that they can rescue their season with a potential win over Westmeath in the final round of the Group 1 round robin, the nosedive in form from the league champions was closely scrutinized on the Sunday night highlights show of The Sunday Game.
“But that belief, that pomp, that confidence… Teams feared playing them, recently battered over the last two months, I’d say.” “The same players, the same core group of players, but the confidence is smashed. And if you take the four goals they conceded against Donegal in the championship, the two goals against Galway in the championship, the three goals for Armagh, all in convincing wins for the opposition, then, you’re in trouble. You’re in serious trouble.
“I don’t think they have learned anything since the Donegal game. If anything, they have gotten worse and it’s evident from what we have seen today,” said Keegan.
