Brian Dooher: Tyrone must find right balance between attack and defence

Brian Dooher has said finding the right balance between a desire to attack and a duty to defend is a work in progress for a Tyrone team searching for its identity.

The arrival of the double All-Ireland winning captain as joint manager along with Feargal Logan heralded a shift to a more offensive approach from the Red Hands this year, but they were ruthlessly exposed in Killarney as Kerry put six goals past the Red Hands in the League semi-final.
