Very disjointed effort from offaly u20 at the weekend. There seemed to be no real game plan and only for Dunns goal in the first half there is no telling how much Kildare could have beaten Offaly by. Only three attacking opportunities in the first half, we got two goals and a point, no matter which way you look at it it was a very poor effort. I was reading some post here and some people think this is acceptable and that the year was successful one overall , I beg to differ on that . We beat Carlow, louth . and an injury stricken Westmeath team that only played one half. I was reading in the Tribune over the weekend about the four or five players that should have been on the starting team , and if you look at where all these players would have lined out for Offaly `--- one center-field, and the rest all forwards . This is exactly where Offaly struggled and also at fullback , Offaly were not able to compete at center field and also they could not get enough ball into the full forward line . It seems that things were no right in the dressing room from what you hear on the grapevine. it may be true that there is some up and coming talent in offaly underage teams but rest assured this is not unique to Offaly. If the setup this year was wrong lets not make the same mistakes next year
