I thought the effort was spot on, with the exception of Carney

Someone needs to tell him that if he keeps bottling every 50/50 he's got no future.

Other than that i thought the effort was there from everyone, no one lacked any desire our commitment.
They just lacked ideas and ability.

I find it hard to criticise them for not being good enough, when they've tried.
Sadly that's it. Without Hollihan and to a lesser extent, croft, there is simply no invention or threat in that side.
We looked good when we Mooney, Gow, Hoolihan all in the same side, they shared vision, moved well and could find each other. Now we have no one capable of unlocking a defence, and no one capable of giving lee the one thing he needs, crosses.
