Andy Moran also stressed that responsibility ultimately lies with the players on the pitch.<\/p>\n
The players take to the pitch, they have to lead it.<\/p>\n

Moran\u2019s comments, along with his suggestion that Mayo are only in year one of a three-year project, have already drawn criticism, and Joe Brolly has now weighed in with a far more cutting assessment.<\/p>\n
Joe Brolly Names Six Major Issues For Andy Moran In Mayo Defeat To Roscommon<\/p>\n
Writing in the Irish Independent,<\/a> Joe Brolly outlined six key areas he believes Mayo got badly wrong on the day, and notably according to Brolly, none of them were mentioned by Andy Moran.<\/p>\n He did not mention: (a) lack of defensive organisation, (b) absence of kick-out variation, (c) lack of forward organisation, (d) absence of a plan for attack to defence transition, (e) confusing team selection, or (f) confusing team positioning.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a damning list, and one that suggests systemic issues for Mayo rather than a one-off underperformance.<\/p>\n For Mayo, the Roscommon defeat has raised serious questions about both execution and the direction of the team.<\/p>\n SEE ALSO: Rory Beggan Hails Monaghan Teammate’s Unseen Role In Dramatic Referee U-Turn<\/a>
