Absolutely wasted in the middle. If he insists on starting him, then why not up front beside McGonigle? We did miss Dummigan on Friday night (and most of Monday as well) too.
Harps, as teams seem to do these days, came to the Brandy to win. Not used to seeing that from an Ollie Horgan side! McWoods was likely offside for his goal, but Harps still deserved to win the match. We certainly caught lucky with some sloppy defending at the end.
Don't know what's gone wrong with our team. Perhaps it's been discovered that if the opposition press us, we can't really handle it? Higgins has got some things wrong in the past few weeks. Himself and Reynolds need to sit down and work on things during this break.
The players are certainly tired, but they've played the same amount of games as anyone else, so it's not much of an excuse.
A good break will do us a good. We should have Dummigan, P McEleney back by 17th June, and hopefully Duffy a couple of weeks after that. Then maybe we can see about strengthening over July.
If we don't sort things out quickly, we'll be getting tanked in Europe.
