The Laois senior football manager wants his players continue their championship campaign with belief.
Justin McNulty says his players need to be ready to leave their disappointment behind them after their draw with Carlow.
The O'Moore County surrendered a six point lead in the dying moments of their Tailteann Cup opener with concession of two goals.
The Laois manager believes his side were too open throughout the contest.
He says the draw feels like a loss and his players need to bounce back.
Laois play Wicklow on Sunday week.
