John Mullane's GAA related absences also left them struggling massively at centre-back on occasion, despite the fact that everyone and their dogs were aware of Brian Fitzgerald and Paul Danaher's respective fitness statuses pre-season.
There's only so long you can get away with patching up those holes that should have been filled, and three defeats from their last four in all competitions indicates that the patchwork ain't holding anymore.
