If Johnston is not getting up off the ground, hes falling on the ground. cant seem to hold his feet, cant win a ball-its not great for you go-to forward. madden and dillon should be persisted with to give them a chance. mc dermott and brady the other options for inside.our inside line is an issue though-we have enough half forward type players kanu (Cavan) - Posts: 181 - 30/03/2017 22:37:50 1973368 Link 0 |
I disagree. I think he has real potential actually but he is young and needs time. He did very well for us last year. David Moran cleaned us last weekend and we have nobody to compete there at the moment. I think Buchanan can do a job there for sure. Mossy is not big enough to field but does a good job for us. McKiernan is not a consistent fielder. Buchanan can give us the stability in the middle to let Gearoid roam or else we can go with Corr and Buchanan and push Gearoid forward.

Well lads we meet again after numerous battles in last few years.we have had the upper hand in most of the meaningful games of last few years(league final and two championship matches) but having a great start to D1 last year we have fell apart largely down to change in magement.

If Cavan play an open game they will beat Roscommon of that I have no doubt but if they allow a negative game creep in we might as well say hello to Division 2. Mattie and the new management have got a nice crew of players together all wanting to win and to express themselves with their football skills. Unfortunately our destiny is not in our own hands after we gave Kerry a very soft point last weekend. This was a game we should have won comfortably but we did not so now we are depending on Kerry taking a point from Tyrone and Donegal beating Mayo. I can see Mayo losing all right but will Micky Heart like the good manager he is field a team to beat Kerry and send us sadly to division 2. Sadly our score difference is to bad should Kerry surprise me and take a point from Tyrone and Donegal do us a favour and beat Mayo score difference does not matter for we are ahead of Mayo on the head to head. So to those of you that are traveling to Roscommon please become the extra man and urge this team to drive it on and who knows what the overall result will be at 4pm tomorrow. I will not be there as there are matches on in the park but I will be there in spirit. My first target was for us to stay in Division 1 and then we can talk about Ulster.

An open game?? If we play an open game, roscommon have the forwards in Smith and Murtagh to hurt us. We didn't play an open game against Mayo and we beat them. I wouldn't go changing our approach at this point. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5199 - 01/04/2017 12:06:52 1973798 Link 0 |

Whats up with Seanie Johnston - don't see his name on the panel at all for tomorrow ? tenyearplan (Cavan) - Posts: 147 - 01/04/2017 14:56:20 1973831 Link 0 |
Roscommon seem to have a hex over us from the last few encounters but I'm reasonably confident we can reverse the trend tomorrow. I think we are much more solid defensively than we were the last time we met. From what I recall last time we were missing our 1st and 2nd choice full backs, 1st choice CHB and Roscommon easily walked through a patch work defense. We have improved on our counter attacking as well so it will be interesting to see how the Ross set themselves up. If they're open at the back and rely solely on their forward play they will see a very different Cavan. Hardtimes (Cavan) - Posts: 1056 - 01/04/2017 16:25:46 1973850 Link 0 |
Johnston has a shoulder injury he had it going in to last weeks game so it mustn't have mended. I hope Killian Clarke is in the backs I don't like to see him named midfield . Best of luck to Cavan tomorrow.

Sean , I heard mattie saying it in a interview last Sunday evening, he said seanie had a difficult week training with a shoulder injury, so I'm just guessing that's why hes not listed for Sunday

Mattie McGleenan said it in his interview after the Kerry match. You can hear it on the "we are Cavan " podcast.

Headin down to the Rossies today feelin a bit disappointed. This could go either way. Can't help feelin we shoulda done better in division one. Yeah we choke teams up but we haven't develop at all as an attackin team fact is we were more of an attackin force under Hyland. shannon414 (Cavan) - Posts: 228 - 02/04/2017 08:25:54 1973995 Link 0 |
Mc Gleenan needs to go and watch a few club games hopefully he might see a bit of balance between forward and defensive play. Otherwise we haven't a hope of doin anythin and after today the season will be over in 3 Games. Not a good return for a group of lads who showed so much promise. We are in month of March, where are Mick Argue, Jack Brady, Tom Hayes, Paul O Connor gonna get game time to develop as forwards? If we get relegated today it's a double defeat , we have not only dropped back a division we have done nothin to develop the team. Yeah depressin stuff. Tool on the clubs now for a bit of decent football. shannon414 (Cavan) - Posts:178 - 02/04/2017 08:25:54 1973995 What you need to remember fella Mattie came to cavan when all the football had been played yes all the footbal. He had no chance of watching anyone play. This year relegated or not he will have plenty of time to watch so called games and try and set his own stall/stamp on things so like a good man stop pointing the fingers. Three of the above players above you mentioned are injured, Jack Brady and James McEnroe just starting to play a bit of football now so one might see them soon if not even today. We lost our way last Sunday we should have buried Kerry but we did not so now we are depending on Kerry and Donegal also off course we must get 2 points ourselves before their results come into play. I am hoping that today the lads will pick up a good score and who knows if Kerry and Mayo are well beaten we might still have it in our own hands to stay in division one. I am hoping that Tyrone will give Kerry a point and Donegal beat Mayo and we win and we have nothing to worry about we will be Division one players next season thanks to Mattie the players and no one else.

Not about fingrpointin Sean. If we can't criticise and suggest alternatives we will never progress. The alternative is to say ah sure we are doin grand we can go back to division 2 and start to build again, we've done that already. Grand will not beat the Dublins or Donegals, they did not progress to their fantastic standards by settlin for doin grand.....Cavan fans or players don't want to settle for grand either. shannon414 (Cavan) - Posts: 228 - 02/04/2017 11:38:57 1974028 Link 0 |
Looking forward to another massive effort today from the squad and management remember the harder you work the luckier you get. This will not be easy and we have no special entitlement to anything, though you would think so from most of the opinion on here. I prefer to support the lads come what may.
