O'Rourke: We need to be more clinical

June 20, 2008
Fermanagh manager Malachy O'Rourke is looking for a more clinical display from his forwards in Saturday's Ulster SFC semi-final against Derry. The Erne County's shooting left a lot to be desired in the win over Monaghan, and this is an area O'Rourke believes they will need to improve on if they are to reach their first provincial final since 1982. "The last day we only scored 2-4 from play. We wasted a lot of chances and can't let it happen again," he said. "We have to be far more economical with possession, and have to concentrate on getting that right. No doubt, every team is constantly striving to improve their scoring, but it has been an area that has given us bother over the years. "We did create chances against Monaghan, we just didn't finish them. Against Derry, it will be that bit harder to create chances but when they come we have to make sure of them." O'Rourke revealed that Tom Brewster is a major doubt to play any part in Saturday's game because of his ongoing injury problems. "Tom has had a fair bit of trouble this year with a groin injury, and picked up knocks. He has worked very hard to get back to full fitness. "Every time he gets near enough, he seems to pick up another knock. It's frustrating for him. He has been unlucky."
