Seamus Prendergast: Derek McGrath’s critics haven’t gone away

Former Waterford attacker Seamus Prendergast reckons Derek McGrath’s counter-attacking approach has about 60% support in the county and that critics will pounce if they struggle in the Allianz League.

Prendergast, a starter in all four of Waterford’s Munster championship wins in the modern era, played a season under McGrath in 2014 before retiring.

The attacker said he personally prefers the more ‘off-the-cuff’ and ‘flamboyant’ style to the sweeper system employed by McGrath since 2015.
