A misstep from Clare in the dance of percentages

Lacking immediate inter-county action to contemplate, I got thinking about tangles subsumed under the heading ‘tactics’. 

The issue is topical because what Clare attempted last Sunday, defending the Cork puckout, ended up pure daft.

The matter was hardly that complicated. Defending the Cork puckout, Clare should have dropped Conor McGrath to half-forward and John Conlon to midfield, with Colm Galvin or Tony Kelly screening Conor Lehane’s movement.
