The Midlands 103 commentator is concerned Down didn't test Laois sufficiently for their game on Saturday.
Laois can expect a "real tough" game when they meet Carlow in Netwatch Cullen Park this weekend.
Willie Maher's side claimed their first competitive win of 2023 when they dismantled Down with a 31 point victory.
Carlow drew 21 points a piece with Kerry in the last round of the Joe McDonagh Cup.
Midlands 103 commentator Jack Nolan says Laois can fall back on a strong bench but he's worried Down were poor prep for Carlow:
