Why are you cherry picking stats?

Explain? He asked who our top scorer was. I merely pointed out how Mckiernan is nearly on a par with McCarron in this year's league stats. Now people have rightly pointed out how Johnston seems to have lost the scoring touch. Monaghan lads use that as evidence that cavan don't have the forwards to win Sunday. Mcmanus had a pretty poor league also. Therefore by your own crowds logic you are also going to struggle for scores?

The big problem for Cavan is they will have to deploy 3 to 4 players to look after McManus and jack. There next problem will be what to do with Mc Carthy. I have only named 3 players here and it will take most of the Cavan defence to look after these 3. mon07 (Monaghan) - Posts: 139 - 07/06/2017 21:46:27 1996689 Link 0 |
Well that's optimism for you. Why not take the third Monday in September off while your at it. No one is gonna mark Mckiernan, Mcvitty, mackey, Johnston, etc.

The difference is we have equally as good defenders so 1 on 1 with a sweeper not 2 on 1 and a sweeper.

God help us. Monaghan could have 10 free men. It will be a turkey shoot for ye.

Imagine if he had to stay where he was for a couple more years yous would be starting to look for the key to the back door

He deliberately tripped a player. It's a non debate in terms of being a black card.

However, without the ball yous were pretty defensive in your last game in the championship. Sorry for reminding you of another little fact. Last year your brilliant defence failed to handle a division 3 forward line and robbie Smith ran riot against you at home. Go back to your own forum and send a few lads over who can give a few digs without making a fool of themselves.

You heard it here first....Cavan will deploy a very defensive system on Sunday, the aim being to stop McManus & McCarron. They've been deploying those tactics in training for the last 6 weeks, so it will be up to Monaghan to break them down, and in my opinion, if Cavan keep their discipline, they could win this game. cavanblueman (Cavan) - Posts: 636 - 08/06/2017 12:28:16 1996882 Link 3 |
Well said Cavanblueman but Cavan deploying a defensive system is hardly a surprise as they have been at it for the last 5/6 years...!!! Sean.66 (Cavan) - Posts: 293 - 08/06/2017 13:43:52 1996921 Link 0 |
They weren't defensive in 2016.. They wouldn't have conceded 5 -17 against Tyrone if they were.. FoolsGold (Cavan) - Posts: 2791 - 08/06/2017 13:56:38 1996932 Link 0 |

He knows yous are desperate under pressure he's playi mind games clearly now ur players will be feeling the pressure cus everyone is on about yous as all Ireland contenders but yis need to get ur heads out of the clouds and realise yis are only the 4th best team in Ulster

Cavan team named. doratheexplorer (Cavan) - Posts: 1467 - 08/06/2017 22:24:32 1997131 Link 0 |
Good luck to the lads and the new management on Sunday. The closer this game gets the more confident I'm starting to feel. Monaghan are raging hot favourites in most peoples' eyes. Some of their supporters are unusually confident going into this, almost to the point of losing the run of themselves. Now I know genuine football people will be expecting nothing easy but it still reflects what a lot of people in Monaghan are thinking. They've been building nicely in Division 1 for a while now. They've added some new forwards to take the load of McManus. Achilles heel sorted! They're on the up and up, next level here they come. Cavan on the other hand are average at best, relegated, no forwards, where's the scores going to come from? They cannot possibly beat Monaghan and this game is just an inconvenience to the Farney. Get it out of the way and roll on to bigger and better venues. Hopefully some of that pressure gets to their squad as it invariably can with football teams. Monaghan may be nervous going into this and if they're not they should be. Hardtimes (Cavan) - Posts: 1056 - 08/06/2017 22:45:20 1997146 Link 1 |

If Dara McVetty is fit to play any part we have the following options to come into the game Fergal Reilly, Ciaran Brady and Joshua Hayes for defence Tomas Corr midfield and Dara McVetty, Joe Dillion, Caoimhin Reilly and Ryan Connolly in attack, Breffnisbest (Cavan) - Posts: 472 - 09/06/2017 10:23:31 1997218 Link 0 |

Full forward line is all I,d be worried about, I would love to see joe dillion and dara mcvitty in there, and maybe figs in at corner back.
