Lack of goal chances concerns Keegan

Mayo aren’t creating enough goal chances for Lee Keegan’s liking.

Despite finding the net in three of their four Allianz Football League games to date, Keegan has concerns about Mayo’s ability to raise green flags.

“I wonder does our devotion to running the ball from deep starve our forwards inside, who then don't get enough supply to do consistent damage,” the former Footballer of the Year asked in his weekly column for RTÉ.

“Certainly, we're not creating enough goal chances. We did hit the net twice against a Galway team, who weren't switched on in Salthill. The goal against Dublin came from a point attempt which dropped short. In Omagh, we got a goal through a fortuitous penalty. In Tralee, I don't think we even created a goal chance, let alone score one.

“I know [Kevin] McStay is keen to develop and fine-tune Mayo's attacking game. We're waiting to see real evidence of that yet.”
