Cuthbert reveals Cork footballers are ready to adapt

Season two of Brian Cuthbert’s regeneration project with Cork’s footballers, and the playbook gets more voluminous by the week.

“If you look at any of the games, even on Saturday night, the middle eight players are crucial in terms of your set-up. The number on their back doesn’t seem to matter anymore, you need huge mobility and I think we have that”, the Cork manager declared after another good start to the Allianz Football League.

“It’s a case of setting your stall out in games and playing a certain way. That was a lesson we learned last year, we went through the league and everything was rosy playing a certain way — it was 2-20 to 1-19, but then you get to championship and it was what it was.
