Look lads we all want to see Cavan winning but we need to believe we are better than Fermanagh because of our underage success this part few years.it's the best draw we could have hoped for. If we drew London we would be expected to hammer them and if we drew Armagh we would be expected to get hammered..all I want to see is players contesting 50-50 balls. Players knowing what the specific job is. Fergal Flanagan really did not know what he was suppose to be doing against Donegal. Was he running to instruction because that's all he was doing... Running..I also hope management have cut out some bad habits. Notably this diagonal ball off the outside of the boot that goes badly astray..kicking of the outside of the boot is all very well If your Darren o Sullivan or Daniel Goulding . Countless times possession is lost by players unable to perform this skill. So it's best left until it can be perfected.I wouldn't expect too many changes from the Donegal game. We need to develope the spine of the team like Tyrone did this past 9 years..I think if we get direct ball into Keating he can so damage especially with some nippy corner forwards either side to feed of him.I think we can win by 4.

Ritchie has finally realised that he shouldn't be commenting negatively on the Cavan team because he doesn't actually attend any Cavan matches. He relies on what he hears, reads or sees on the Tv. Those don't always tell the full story e.g. Ritchie's views re Martin Dunne. If he had attended either the Offsly or Sligo games, Ritchie would know why Dunne is not playing with the senior team.

Following Leinster J. Final the other night have to give credit to the management, team selection, use of bench and tactical changes were decisive, for once as a Cavan supporter I felt confident ther was someone on the sideline who knew what they were doing. Very impressed with R.Dunne, Hayes, Brady, D.Mc Kiernan, Conroy, 0'Connor , Mc Clarey and M.Dunne. All of these should really feature now in Senio panel for Sunday. My own selection would be, Anyone any ideas on the injury/availability situation??
My team v fear managh
1 James Reilly
2 K. Clarke
3 R. Dunne
4 D. Reilly
5 K. Brady
6 M. Mc Keever
7 Joshua Hayes
8 David Givney
9 G. McKiernan
10 C. Conroy
11 D. McKeirnan
12 J.Morris
13 P. O Connor
14 Eugene Keating
15 M. Dunne

So hoping for a win, best of luck to all

Jasus Richie I nearly fell off me stool. Has this man been converted on the Road to Damascus or maybe there is a blue moon in the sky.
Anyway we will always welcome you back, and remember keep it positive.

Lets not get carried away with the Junior Victory. It's miles behind Senior level and I don't see anyone forcing their way into first team action based on one or two decent games with the Juniors with the possible exception of Hayes.

1. James Reilly
2. F Flanagan
3. Killian Clarke
4. Damien O'Reilly
5. McLoughlin
6. Podge
7. Hayes
8. Givney
9. Gearoid
10. Jack Brady
11. McKeever
12. Tierney
13. Niall McDermott
14. Keating
15. Bud Fitz

That would be my effort at a team although I can't see Hyland going with that combination up front, he is likely to be more conservative. We need a proper free taker on the right hand side, I have two in that team but to not even have one against Donegal was criminal. We need to be rock solid in defence, easy goals have killed us in qualifiers in the past, Podge held his on at full back against Donegal and could well go back in there again to provide some experience.

If we show composure and don't shoot ourselves in the foot I think we're in with a good chance but it's absolutely vital that Fermanagh and Cananvan are not taken lightly. Fermanagh have lads that have played in AI Quarter and Semi Finals and an Ulster Final, our bit of underage success will not frighten them one bit. Best of luck to the lads and lets do what we did for the U21s and give them a 16th man on the day.

Agree Jon Smith big difference in the standard, judging by Wednesdays performance thought both Hayes that you mentioned and O'Connor were exceptionally good, , both looked very fit, comfortable on the ball and thought Hayes had a very high work rate. These 2 could give the managementoptions to have that extra edge at both ends of the field. Besta Luck lads ye can do it.

should we hold of on playing any of the Juniors and give the junior all-ireland a good shot? No point in playing them in the seniors, getting beat within the next game or 2 and then losing the junior All-ireland cause of it too?
