We make the 828km round trip to Ballybofey attempting to set a three-game unbeaten run, and in truth, any point accrued in Tír Chonaill would be a notable achievement given the home side's excellent form. Yes, they lost to Cobh recently, but the victory from the jaws of defeat at Wexford, and a draw with Cork highlight that they're arguably the most improved club in the league (alongside Treaty), and in Success Edogun, they've a striker whose a proven threat in the division. Jack Kavanagh may return on Friday, but Dolia's recovery remains ever more protracted, and Nathan Gleeson has acquired a foot infection. A draw is a realistic target, but more likely we'll have to accept defeat on this occasion.
Harps have started well for sure, but really it will be 15 games before we figure out what teams will be top half and bottom half. Glad to hear James Sugrue talk about points and not performances in most recent interview and that needs to be mentality for this one. I’d take a 1-1 draw all day long.
Kerry need to get a win on the board. Harps will pose a tough challenge. Kerry led Bray twice and led Cobh, not holding on to the leads.
Nil all draw and a tactical masterclass from Conor McCarthy with a clean sheet also. Very happy with that!!!
Decision to go with back 3 and wing backs was spot on, really eliminated the pace of Success. Decision to freshen up the team and change formation was all vindicated by the result. As the game wore on in the last 20 minutes thought we looked like the only team likely to score which is testament to Guthrie and the S&C work done. We could have won it in the end!!
More clean sheets and the wins will start coming very quickly.
Picking up points is a good habit to be getting into. Hopefully this run of draws are the green shoots of a winning run soon.
