What will posters regard as a successfull season ahead? I personally think survival in Div 2 would be classed as an improvement . Not really worried about the championship yet but a winless league campaign would be a disaster. We would be right back at square one despite our underage success. We need to show we can compete in Div 2. dirtybag (Cavan) - Posts: 242 - 17/12/2014 11:29:29 1679054 Link 0 |
I agree, maintain Division 2 status is a must. We are well capable of doing this. Westmeath, Down, Meath, Laois, Kildare, Roscommon and Galway we are capable of beating on any given day. In saying that the same can be said about the other teams beating us. A good start to the campaign is the key I feel. Everyone cant his the ground running in Division 2 and Galway and Laois were very lucky to avoid the drop last year. Likewise Westmeath whom we beat last year in the qualifiers had a awful run in Division 1, need to pick themselves up also. cavan97 (Cavan) - Posts: 369 - 17/12/2014 12:05:19 1679069 Link 0 |
Stay division 2 and win a few games in Championship. Better performance than the Roscommon debacle. doratheexplorer (Cavan) - Posts: 1467 - 17/12/2014 14:18:53 1679105 Link 0 |
Cavan lost to westmeath last weekend or recently theres no hope of anything positive this year, although I believe having a challenge game this time of year is ridiculous!!!! Dr.Phil (Cavan) - Posts: 109 - 17/12/2014 19:53:41 1679209 Link 0 |
There has been very little word coming of the Cavan camp and with the McKenna Cup coming up, jut wondering does anyone have any information on the squad and panel. It seems like the debate about Seani has gone quiet again, and while I think it is the wrong decision, we must move on. It is clear that several players have stepped back from the panel, and one must see this as a response to the disastrous Championship had and the tactics used. Toastie and Givney are huge losses, and lets hope their shoes can be filled sooner than later. It is a capable McKenna group and it must be used to try out new players. The Division 2 league table is going to be tough, and lets hope Cvan can bring on new players in this competition looking ahead to the summer. Joe Dillion would have been a great new factor to the team but is another huge loss through a back injury. He was unstoppable against Dublin, with little ball, till the Tipp ref's dodgy black card. Cavan have plenty of talent, but the players who hid and did not shine last year must step up now! An Ulster final, the last one maybe ever in Clones, is very achievable this summer!

Lads Seanie is after having major ankle surgery and is not in contention for the county and if he was asked in my sources tell me he wouldn't go back in.he might not even play football for the Gaels in 2015. gaelsutd (Cavan) - Posts: 602 - 18/12/2014 11:46:29 1679279 Link 0 |
Well at least that puts an end to the speculation about Seanie. It sounds like we have more pressing problems facing us getting a team to play a bit of decent attacking football but then what can you read into a challenge game in this time of year?

Cavan did not play Westmeath last week or at all this term so do not know where that info is coming from. They played Louth however up in Darvar last week and won convincingly BootIt (Cavan) - Posts: 136 - 18/12/2014 18:18:13 1679371 Link 0 |
Seanie injured, what a shock. fredflint (Cavan) - Posts: 1483 - 18/12/2014 20:57:26 1679411 Link 0 |
I see the usual suspect(s) are posting inaccurate information again. Genuine posters please ignore this ruubish. BreffniDub (None) - Posts: 377 - 19/12/2014 11:01:57 1679461 Link 0 |
If we can stay in Division 2 I would see that as a success . Hardtimes (Cavan) - Posts: 1056 - 19/12/2014 17:07:29 1679530 Link 0 |

We are probably too good for div 3 and not good enough yet for div 2. So it will be a major achievement to stay up. dirtybag (Cavan) - Posts: 242 - 20/12/2014 09:55:19 1679571 Link 0 |
Down have lost Dan Gordon, Amborse Rogers, Benny Coulter, among others though retirement. Martin Clarke returend from Australia but won't be playing County football in 2015. Caolon Mooney returning should be a boost though FoolsGold (Cavan) - Posts: 2763 - 20/12/2014 14:16:16 1679591 Link 0 |
Cavan are too negative and will slide back down to division 3. Seannie had an operation on his ankle he will be back training in 4 months. If he performs to the standard that are expected off him he will like any other player in the county be considered thats it in a nutshell, as hyland said the door is alway's open. I can tell you however he was not considered for recall to the county panel regardless of what one might have read on this forum. mowbar (Cavan) - Posts: 452 - 21/12/2014 19:12:46 1679701 Link 0 |
Kevin Donwnes and Mchale are not going to have negative football. Downes wasn't going to be involved if it was going to be like what it was. FoolsGold (Cavan) - Posts: 2763 - 21/12/2014 20:24:03 1679711 Link 0 |
The Roscommon game in Breffni was an all time low and I think Terry and the backroom staff realised that. The team will never progress if we continue with the blanket 13 men behind the ball. As I said before the Junior Final against Kerry showed what we are capable of and I dont agree with Posters who keep on harping about Cavan not having natural forwards. That day in Portlaoise Cavan ran at Kerry and lads like Hession, O'Connor, Conroy, Enda Reilly and Tom Hayes were brilliant. BreffniDub (None) - Posts: 377 - 22/12/2014 20:21:22 1679827 Link 0 |
We won't win the division not that I'd want us to anyway because we'd take a lot of hammerings in Division 1. Survival is the aim for now. Hardtimes (Cavan) - Posts: 1056 - 22/12/2014 20:54:04 1679833 Link 0 |
