Roscommon’s first defeat of the Allianz League campaign at the hands of Monaghan could be a blessing in disguise, according to manager Davy Burke.

Wins over Galway, Tyrone and Armagh had heightened expectations before the 0-11 to 0-14 loss in Clones brought the Rossies back down to earth.

"There’s a lot of talk, a lot of unwarranted talk. We’re a good, hard-working team, we’ve decent players, but we need to turn up every day and do it," Burke told RTÉ.

"I’m glad that whatever that run was, [it] is over now, to be honest with you.

"We wouldn't be happy with a lot of facets of our play. Poor execution, poor shot selection, we didn’t cut through them as we would have liked and hoped."
