It appears terry has lost a vital cog in his backroom team as peter donnelly is taking up a position in mickey hartes backroom team next year. Peter had a huge influence on the u21 teams of the last few years and also the senior team and will be a huge loss. who can terry get in to replace him?

Defensively Peter will be a big loss but I feel we suffered badly in our attacking style of play. Was Peters sytem and game plan built around more defensively minded players? Were attacking players sacrificed? Brownred (Cavan) - Posts: 229 - 05/09/2014 11:25:02 1648314 Link 0 |

Changes in the backroom can only be good to freshen things up, McGuinness made changes in his backroom team this as they went a bit stale last year,Gallagher and Maxi Curran left, Damien Diver and John Duffy came and it has a had a good effect. Obviously I wouldn't expect Cavan to be in the All Irelannd final next year but new ideas and style can only be good. FoolsGold (Cavan) - Posts: 2752 - 05/09/2014 14:06:02 1648417 Link 0 |
Best of luck to Peter with his new appointment. However, with Three Championships behind him Terry needs to make a few changes to the set up. kildare blue (Cavan) - Posts: 578 - 05/09/2014 15:52:37 1648482 Link 0 |
He's a very impressive young man and helped Cavan football a great deal. Good luck to him in the future ochonlir1 (Cavan) - Posts: 88 - 05/09/2014 16:05:37 1648491 Link 0 |
I'm very sorry to hear that Peter Donnelly is leaving. He made an enormous contribution to Cavan football especially at under-age level as the record shows. And he gave us a defence as well, something we hadn't for years. RoyalBlue2 (Cavan) - Posts: 198 - 05/09/2014 20:36:49 1648611 Link 0 |
I thought he had signed a new deal earlier in the year for 3 more years, but suppose the chance to work with Tyrone his native County was too good to turn down when Mickey Harte approached him. FoolsGold (Cavan) - Posts: 2752 - 05/09/2014 21:57:06 1648645 Link 0 |
Best of luck Peter, thanks for helping revive Cavan Football cavan97 (Cavan) - Posts: 369 - 07/09/2014 11:34:23 1649001 Link 0 |
Losing Peter Donnelly was possibly predicable, given the top class job he did in establishing a successful defensive system at several levels in Cavan. He now has a profile base to launch himself from, if need be. I'm sure he always had a desire to return to his native county so good luck to him and many thanks for such a professional contribution to Cavan football. ondforty (Cavan) - Posts: 458 - 08/09/2014 10:05:45 1649387 Link 0 |
best of luck to Peter. He has been working with Cavan football for a long time now. Before he was involed with the Senior/U21's he was coaching the primary school kids. StirringIt (Cavan) - Posts: 374 - 08/09/2014 16:13:15 1649678 Link 0 |
Lads who is going to replace them though, have we thought of this. Rory Gallagher has been mentioned but its a long drive from Kilcar and if McGuinness goes this year then Gallagher would be in a strong position to replace him. Tony McEntee mentioned but he is gonna get the Down job. Plus Donnelly done both jobs S&C and coaching so we either get a person who covers both roles or we have to get 2 people in. chancey (Cavan) - Posts: 32 - 08/09/2014 16:25:23 1649687 Link 0 |
Looking at the canditates to replace Peter Donnelly and Joe Mc Carthy , did anyone think of Peter Canavan. I think he would work really well with Terry. I know he is with the Gaels but he could still do both jobs. Peter has a great football brain and as well as being one of the greatest forwards ever to play the game he would be a huge inspiration to our young players. Just imagine the tactical battles between Terry/Peter and Micky Harte, Jim Mc Guinness, Kieran McGeeney. And to replace Joe Mc how about Ronan Carolan? Another legend!

not bad but once again lads we need a s&c coach and a coach, Peter Canavan is not going to do weights with the players, if he is then he is a mighty man altogether. What we are looking for is a top level s&c coach and a top football coach, it is very hard for one man to combine the two unless he has a lot of help. So lads let start thinking outside the box, stop dreaming about the dream team and start thinking about a s&c coach and a football coach and a selector to replace Joe. chancey (Cavan) - Posts: 32 - 08/09/2014 20:46:18 1649857 Link 0 |

Why don't we have a good look at the kind of football the Gaels are playing under Canavan before we come to conclusions. Seems to me that Fermanagh went backwards under his management and developed a lot of nastiness that wasn't in their usual game - at least that's what Cavan and Meath supporters thought and neither of us are angels.

There is far too much emphasis on S&C coaches. Look at young Ryan McHugh you would hard think he did much of it !! What we need is a top class Selector who has inter county experience and who is tactically aware .. Aware of what's happening during games and be knowledgeable and experienced enough to advise switches or substitutions. That's what we are lacking.
