Willie Maher says he's noted some poor performances in the second half at Glenisk O'Connor Park.
Laois will have to reflect on their loss of application that preceeded their loss to Offaly in the Walsh Cup yesterday.
The O'Moore County dominated the opening 35 minutes of the game in Tullamore thanks to strong defending, and unerring shooting by PJ Scully.
Offaly were reduced to 14 men just before half time but it was Laois that found the going tough in the second period.
The Faithful county went from being 8 back at the break to winning on the final whistle by a point.
Laois boss Willie Maher says his players have plenty food for thought:
The final score was 2-21 to 1-23.
