Gavin seeks consistency

Jim Gavin says Dublin need to address their inconsistency ahead of their championship.
The All-Ireland winning manager was quick to pick faults in his side's performance after they had come from 10 points down to beat Cork by seven in an incredible Allianz Football League semi-final.
"For the full 70 minutes we were very inconsistent obviously, being that amount of points down," he said.
"That's something which we're still searching for from the National League, you know we haven't got that consistency of performance. We haven't got it and you know with eight weeks to go to the championship, it won't be good enough."
Gavin did, however, give his team credit for their never-say-die attitude.
"You know they demonstrate it day-in, day-out whenever we are with them, and we would have seen that mental resolve last year as well in a lot of the games," he continued.
"But it's pleasing to see that it's still there and they can tap into it on a technical level and tactical level that lack of consistency is an area that we really need to work on. Just a lack of focus in some technical areas that is hurting us and when you play against a good side like Cork, they are always going to punish you.
"We will be coming up against another quality side in two weeks (Derry) and if we show that lack of consistency we are going to be punished."
