Jack Sheedy: Parking the bus not what I'd like to do against Dubs

Dublin should not expect Longford to "park the bus" against them if their manager Jack Sheedy's words are anything to go by. 

We will have live coverage of that match against Dublin on Off The Ball on Sunday with commentary and analysis from Dave McIntyre and James Horan.

Speaking to Off The Ball tonight, Sheedy is not planning a drastic change in tactics to combat the power of the Dubs.

"To be fair to ourselves, we've got to keep doing what we're doing and do it the best we can on the day because two weeks is not enough time, other than just throwing 15 guys behind the ball and parking a bus. It's not what I'd like to do. I'd prefer to try and play football as much as possible," he said. 

Sheedy also discussed the strength in depth within Longford's ranks.

"There's the 15 best players available to us and the next 11 guys that are in the squad on Sunday are the next best 11 guys that are available to Longford and we can't concern ourselves with the guys that aren't there. Yes, there are one or two, who if they were available - and all are very genuine and honest reasons for not being there -  we'd love to have them in. But we don't concern ourselves with that anymore," he said.
