I wouldn't go so far as to say that I agreed with his tactics, but even seeing some kind of plan at all, even a bad one, is preferable to anything we've got from county managers in recent years.
In fairness to Clive Murphy, I thought he did okay on Casey. It was never going to be a day for long ball into the full forward, so other than when Casey got around him in the first half and Duffy had to make the save on the shot for goal, I thought Murphy did fine. Neither of the WI corner men stood out for me in a defensive sense, though the guy wearing 2 did well pushing forward. A better wing back perhaps.
I agree regarding the third midfielder, but I suppose the logic was that the Connors would do the fielding, he might have been there to fight for breaks. It coulod be just a knacky thing he has - though we didn't see much of it God knows.
