I think it's very easy to sit here now today and say everything is wrong and then you go and, you know...
They're on the floor and then kick them now when they're down.
We go back three weeks, they're most people's All-Ireland finals, maybe winners.
They're the obliterated carry, a strong carry team in the league final.
and they do it again down in Killarney mitigating circumstances with the red card of course but still they did it they performed really well in that game and now we're looking we're rolling on two weeks and we're saying well Kerry are miles ahead of everyone else and Donegal are at the bottom of the basement that's I don't think it's as stark as that I think I hear you what you're saying in relation to Jim in the sense that
the communication hasn't been as clear.
And that's come true then in how they've played, because their whole game plan hasn't been clear.
The decisions that are made have been a mystery to me.
Why Ryan McHugh didn't start that game yesterday is baffling.
He did not look injured.
Why Usain Gallen is not back, who has just been, had probably one of his better years.
Obviously he wouldn't have lost that a couple of years ago, but he's been great this year.
it seems there's something there that he just doesn't back him and that's the that team didn't look like they had the backing of their manager yes if you know what I mean that's a bizarre way of saying it but they just didn't look like they had full confidence in what they were doing every Donegal team you watch under Jim over the last number of years you've always felt these guys know exactly what they're at
the game plan is clear they deliver most of the time to their perfection yeah unity of purpose exactly and that has not been there in the last couple of weeks it wasn't there like in the down game and you're just saying okay everyone's entitled to a blip it came back you know in Killarney I said wow they're back and then again in Cork the Cork one last week just baffled me like and again yesterday I was just like
underwhelmed by them do you know what I mean like as much as I was impressed with Dublin I was still just left thinking what has happened to Donegal over the last number of weeks and it just always feels to me that there's just like there's whether it's because most things come from the top you know obviously and whether something has gone on in the background or whether James has kind of
lost his way or he lost his motivation or his mojo or something has happened, but it's playing through on the team.
He's the leader.
There's no question marks who's in charge up there.
You always get some teams, oh, there's a real player-driven team, but not with them.
So if he's off a little bit, it's going to have an impact on everybody.
