Replying To dstuction:  "Every time a defensive system loses the managers/players are deemed to be playing with fear. In most cases the teams just aren't able to carry out or maintain each facet of the game on that given day. Its all about small margins alot of the time. How often do we see team defend great in the first half and then in the second they get tired. That is when player either chose to attack and not get back or just sit back defending. I have heard the term "Get behind the ball and you can rest there" more than a few times a sligo club level. I think Dublin are the best transition team there is and it is this reason that they are hailed the best. They most certainly do not play 15 v 15. They drop men back and protect as good as any team (Tyrone and Donegal included) but the thing about Dublin is they are trained and have the player to change tactics and adapt throughout the game. I would say that Sligo club teams (based on the games I have seen this year) do not. BTW I live in Sligo which is why I have an interest in Sligo football. No club in particular but due to location Id follow the town teams more than some from the country."

Replying To Maggiepie:  "Can't say I disagree much with this summation, but I would add the following. Sligo will not win any tight physical game from now on if Mark Breheny is playing, we really only penetrated the Armagh backs when he was gone and Marren came roaming out the field. I did'nt now that Murphy had been sick prior to the game but it showed in his game that he was a bit off. His vocal chords were unaffected however. The Tipp match will be a better test as to where were at, as they will play football for the most part in the traditional way and a good performance here would bring a lot of confidence. I wouldnt read a lot into yesterdays game as Armagh are a very one dimensional team in the Mc Geaney mould and whilst they may steamroll their way over Div 3 teams , they are going nowhere."
