The improvement in Patrick McBrearty this year underlines the work that Jim McGuinness has done with this squad. McBrearty was a huge talent when introduced as a minor, but even though he is still not 19, he has developed as a real team player and was Donegal's best forward in our two championship games to date. He won the penalty for our goal in Cavan and was involved in setting up both goals on Saturday night. His pass to Colm McFadden for the second goal was perfectly timed.
