 Gormley says that a few Tyrone players may have got carried away |
Tyrone's Conor Gormley believes that their heavy Allianz NFL defeat by Cork last time out could benefit the team for the remainder of this season. Gormley acknowledges that the team "perhaps got a bit carried away" by their McKenna Cup triumph and opening NFL wins over Dublin and Fermanagh.
"Maybe we were hyped up as All-Ireland champions already and maybe that got into a few heads," he told the BBC.
Tyrone face Donegal in the Allianz NFL at Healy Park on Saturday evening.
The Carrickmore man is expecting a tough game against Donegal, who have the only 100 per cent record in Division 1A.
"Donegal are contenders for the Ulster title and they maybe will want to prove a point as well after we beat them in the McKenna Cup final.
"We would hope that the Cork game was a blip although there is no doubt that we were outplayed by them that night.
"You have to give credit to Cork but we were disappointed in our own performance.
"We've now got the Donegal game to look forward to and the batteries have been recharged for Saturday's game."
