'Derry are crumbling' – Keegan and Ó Sé review Armagh defeat
Derry are regressing as the championship progresses and look devoid of confidence, according to Sunday Game analysts Lee Keegan and Tomás Ó Sé.
Mickey Harte's side slumped to a third consecutive championship defeat and must get over Westmeath in their final All-Ireland series group game to remain alive.
The 3-17 to 0-15 thumping at the hands of Armagh at Celtic Park demonstrated yet again the defensive frailties that have engulfed the side in all three championship outings to date.
Having seemingly laid down Sam Maguire ambitions with Division 1 success in April, the wheels have come off Derry’s season in a big way, with the porous defence again coming under scrutiny.
Speaking on live coverage of the game, Sean Cavanagh suggested Harte’s stubborn streak may be holding the Oak Leaf County back.
Cavanagh: 'Why have Derry not learned their lesson... stubbornness seems to costing them right now.'
