Looking at the side of the qualifiers we are in I think Cavan has a great chance of progressing far. The team needs games a few handy ones to start with would be a help, 10 weeks of a break from the league to championship showed on Cavan Sunday . Also if we progress through a couple of rounds we have a 50/50 chance of meeting our neighbours again , goonie (Cavan) - Posts: 308 - 13/06/2017 10:40:32 1998929 Link 0 |

As I have said before these back door games are a waste of time.... Sean.66 (Cavan) - Posts: 293 - 13/06/2017 12:17:00 1998996 Link 0 |

I wouldn't say they are a waste, it will give mattie more time with the squad to play the way he wants, and possibly a few of the young lads experience. I hope they take qualifiers seriously

I think you are well of the mark. Once you can keep players together and motivated and if you can get over the line in the first game of the qualifiers momentum will soon start to build fairly quickly. If you go back to 2013 remember the buzz around the county during our qualifier run. The excitement and buzz around the place was brilliant and we got some good days out in croke park. We played division one football we are the big guns in the back door nobody will want to play us. We have only faced division one teams this year and that will stand to us. We are also on the favorable side of the draw. I seen enough on Sunday to think we will have a good summer yet. And if we can get tho croke park on the august bank holiday we wont fear anyone as we have now the experience of playing them throughout the league. There will be disappointment in the next few days but if we can get over the line in round one momentum will build and we are well placed to make a serious run in the qualifiers.

What for the life of you makes you think Westmeath or Offaly will be a 'handy' game? They are around the same level as we are so it'll take a huge effort to beat either in their own back yard

Cavan don't have the players to blitz teams. Offaly and Westmeath whoever it is, will be a struggle away from home. Offaly have McNamee a top forward. Westmeath are strong from Midfield up with Paul Sharry ,Heslin, Kieran Martin. FoolsGold (Cavan) - Posts: 2763 - 13/06/2017 14:35:36 1999119 Link 0 |

Has Mattie sent the same starting 15 out in successive games yet, or even the same finishing 15? Cavan_Slasher (Cavan) - Posts: 10253 - 13/06/2017 17:28:43 1999228 Link 0 |

Offaly and Westmeath are at a different level than us, id have no fear playing either of thoses two teams, the game between them was suppose to be terrible, As a poster pointed out there Mattie has to get a settled team, He cant keep changing line out expecting lads to know there role,, hopefully the qualifiers will sort that out . If a player plays well in games he shouldn,t be dropped, I think that could be a reason why we shed a lot of players in the last few years , must be dishearthning to have a great league campain and be dropped come first round of championship ,, Fergal reilly is an example of that. So hopefully leasons learn and we will have a good run in the Qualifiers

Watch Galway playing with the wind and watch the Monaghan kick outs with the wind. Have a look this evening when you get in from school.!!

Dear lord, am I reading this team correctly - Gearoid McKiernan at FULL BACK??? Hahaha Then you have Argue in midfield who is not even playing this year and then Givney at full forwrad who also is not playing this year. Maybe you could draft in Dermot McCabe and Larry Reilly to the full forward line as well?? This highlights what is happening on this forum all too often - people throwing the team and system under the bus when they clearly don't even know whats going on with the set up!

Listen lads, I know I have been talking plenty of tripe on here but I love winding up those Monaghan lads - I live near the border so sick of my back teeth of them. Anyway, I think there is nothing stopping us from getting an All-Ireland ¼ final. You can treat the qualifiers 2 ways, either give up like Monaghan did last year or go on a run like Tipperary. Mattie is a winner and I think he will take it seriously and get the players revved up again - I think we should go toe to toe with every team in order to improve our attacking game plan for next year. Rome wasn't built in a day. foxes_denn (Cavan) - Posts: 129 - 14/06/2017 08:59:35 1999415 Link 0 |

I personally feel that any time you're still involved in championship football is a good day. Cavan got to an all Ireland quarter final following a similar route a few years ago. Tomas O'Shea seemed very buoyant about our chances and when you look at the points he made on the Sunday game, there's nothing there that can't be fixed. Our biggest problem is up front and key players not showing up on the big occasion. Cian Mackey was the only senior player to stamp his mark on the game. Let's see how we get on against Westmeath or Offaly and see where we go from there. Virginia (Cavan) - Posts: 101 - 15/06/2017 13:21:27 1999920 Link 0 |

Lie down like Monaghan did last year?? We had a 6 day turnaround from two gruelling games against donegal when we only lost by 1 point. If Cavan had played those gruelling games instead of getting beat by 17 points they would of had too many men in shape to play a fresh Longford side who hadn't kicked a ball all year.

Don't ruin the over exaggeration by monaghanmad, we were bet by fifty points!!, and poor Longford never participated in the O'Byrne cup, National league or Leinster championship. Jaysus they musta been rusty that day in Clones

Thats the problem with a few Cavan supporters....they think Cavan are better than they really are. We are Division 2 team, no better than Clare & Tipperary, who are actually two hurling strongholds. Wake up and face the facts...we are an intermediate team. cavanblueman (Cavan) - Posts: 636 - 15/06/2017 17:14:20 2000036 Link 1 |

I know exactly we're Cavan stand ,, we are as the rankings released yesterday says , we are ranked at 10 at the minute which would be fair, we lost by a kick of the ball to a team ranked 5 th, drew with no 2 in the league, and beat 7th place but also lost to 12th ,, As for beating Westmeath at 17 or Offaly at 23 we are far stronger than them teams so I can't see an issue there , Surporters knows the ability of the team but also knows there not consistent. All people on this wants to see is Cavan playing to the best of there ability
