Roscommon’s mindset must change, says John Evans

Roscommon senior football manager John Evans believes the mindset must change within the county as they prepare to re-ignite their championship campaign in this afternoon’s All-Ireland qualifier trip to Cavan.

The Roscommon manager’s comments about his side possibly challenging for All-Ireland honours in the near future following April’s Division Two League success against Down seemed to back to haunt him following a shock defeat to Sligo at Markievicz Park last month. But Evans doesn’t regret talking up his charges

“The mindset has to change in Roscommon. It has changed among the players. It’s their aim to be at the top table competing for honours with the top teams in a few years time. That’s what they want and they’re working fierce hard at it. There has to be more ambition in Roscommon.
