Brian Cuthbert: Cork had to change the way we played

Last week, Brian Cuthbert mentioned mistakes were made in 2014, writes John Fogarty.

Specifically? His own post-mortem is done and dusted. He won’t get into the forensics of Cork’s oscillations now.

“It’s obvious enough. Last year we changed the way we were playing after the Munster final. Every year there seems to be a copycat system in terms of what suffices to win an All-Ireland. I’d expect a lot of teams to be very defensive at the start of this year anyway. We’d a very good league last year but it seems that type of football — especially in the Kerry game — left us wide open. I think it’s simply a case of developing a game-plan that suits the guys we have.”
