New Cavan manager Tommy Carr insists he will have no problem dropping players from his panel if they are no fully committed to the cause. The former Dublin and Roscommon supremo is determined to revive the Breffni County's footballing fortunes, but says this can only be achieved if the players are fully committed. "The one thing I've learned in my experience as a manager is that if you have players on the panel and they are not fully committed, then no matter how talented they are, you are better off without them," he said. "No matter how much effort is being put in by the management and selectors, it will not bring success or an improvement of standards unless every player in the panel is willing to give his all. "For me, that will be important in my working with Cavan. And neither should the manager feel that taking over a county team should be some sort of opportunity for the glory of playing in a big championship game in Croke Park. "For a start, you have to want to do it and I've given a commitment to Cavan and want to try to do a job for them to the best of my ability. "I feel that perhaps too many guys look at the TV and they see Croke Park and big qualifying games and All-Ireland semi-finals and think that is brilliant. "But that is only a very small percentage of what is involved in the whole thing. At the end of the day, it's the commitment from management and players together that makes for a successful county team." Tweet
