Midlands 103 commentator Brian Gavin is hoping to see the Faithful's ball handling improve.
Fitness and conditioning should be taken care of, now Offaly need to deliver on their ball skills.
That's the perspective of Midlands 103 commentator Brian Gavin ahead of this weekend's midlands league opening derby with Westmeath.
Dessie Dolan's side were six points the better against Offaly when the sides last met in Division Three last year.
This season it's the Faithful County that will enjoy home advantage.
Offaly's pre-season in the O'Byrne Cup involved a win over Laois, and a one point defeat to a second string Dublin side.
Gavin believes Offaly fans can be moderately positive ahead of a new era under Declan Kelly:
Throw in at Glenisk O'Connor Park is set for 2pm.
In Division Three, Laois open their campaign at home to Longford.
