McStay says the ROSSIES are going to win, what more incentive would you need to put best foot forward and make him eat his words!! desagov (Cavan) - Posts: 208 - 11/07/2014 20:47:41 1617577 Link 0 |
Really struggling to call a winner here, on current form its Roscommon all day, we could well be playing Mayo tomorrow only for a bit of inexperience to cost Roscommon. Yet, I think we have to snap out of this bad spell at some stage, luck got us over the line against a poor Westmeath team and we all know what happened in Armagh. But we can't stay in that rut forever we know we're capable of better. This year was always going to be tough after last year, teams have copped on to our system and know how to deal with it. Its up to the management to come up with a plan B. So far we have not seen a plan B. BreffniGuide (Cavan) - Posts: 474 - 12/07/2014 08:56:53 1617626 Link 0 |

I agree with these posts; we have a lot of good footballers but they can only do what management allows them to do. We saw over and over again that when the pressure is on us we can suddenly up it several gears and have won a lot of matches that way. That's because we abandon this lateral passing and run at defences but seemingly players are not allowed to do this very much. So it's up to management this time to come up with something more realistic for a game plan and let lads show their ability. RoyalBlue2 (Cavan) - Posts: 198 - 12/07/2014 11:01:43 1617675 Link 0 |
best of luck to the lads this evening we will all be there shouting you on asitis (Cavan) - Posts: 233 - 12/07/2014 11:15:06 1617682 Link 0 |
so what we are saying really is that Hyland is the "trappatoni" of Cavan football. He has done for Cavan what Trapp did for Ireland.. turned a team that was disorganised and non-commital in to a team that is "hard-to-beat, well organised,disciplined and plays to it's strengths. For this to work you need all the players to buy in to the philosophy , no one should show any creativity if it means putting the team at risk. defence is paramount. We will not be hammered by anyone (apart from Croatis/spain/Italy/Germany).... kerry and possibly Roscommon Today. Basically the Trapp/Hyland Philosophy will take you so far but it won't help you to compete with the top teams and ultimately the players will lose trust in the management and the fans will turn against you. s goldrick (Cavan) - Posts: 5518 - 12/07/2014 13:00:07 1617727 Link 0 |
Its a wonder Cavan were in the doldrums for so long before Terry got hold of the U21s and then seniors given the tactical geniuses in the county as evident from comments on this board. Anyone remember games such as losing to Fermanagh in Breffni, hammered by Donegal, Longford, Kildare etc. Some short memories. Did yis ever think that maybe Terry might know a bit more about his players and Cavan football than yous? fredflint (Cavan) - Posts: 1483 - 12/07/2014 13:53:42 1617753 Link 0 |
I would be seriously concerned about todays game, we seem to building up for our own destruction, I think the major problem is that management has a system they want to play and the select players they want to play it, unfortunately this system isn't working but it seems they are too stubborn to change it, If this whole situation isn't changed soon in the senior county set up all our years of u21 success will have been in vain, with more players opting to leave in the summers to America because they know unless there a favourite or willing to buy into the system that isn't working they wont get game time. maybe the players will take the shackles off themselves today and we could have a chance against the rossis,, like the 15 minutes spell against Westmeath, Good luck to the team today! goonie (Cavan) - Posts: 308 - 12/07/2014 14:05:10 1617756 Link 0 |
S Goldrick.... I think u are spot on woth your post.. We should be playing a more attack minded game and see where it takes us.. At least the poor unfortunates that has to pay in wouldent be bored to tears.. Trap and Poney drove thousands of Irish fans away and Cavans style of play will do the same... Come on Terry let them express themselves as we have lots of talented players....!!!! Sean66 (Cavan) - Posts: 440 - 12/07/2014 14:14:34 1617764 Link 0 |
So goonie. McVetty and Killian Clarke went to the US as they were not the managers favourite as they didn't fit his system?? What a ridiculous assertion which is at odds with all evidence. fredflint (Cavan) - Posts: 1483 - 12/07/2014 14:22:50 1617769 Link 0 |
Look Fredflint, everybody remembers the bad days and we are really grateful for the work Terry has done. But we also remember some good days as well.So dont be so selective. BreffniDub (None) - Posts: 377 - 12/07/2014 14:46:05 1617772 Link 0 |
If Donegal fans were so concerned about the way they play since Jim McGuinness took over they would have very little support, he has delivered success. Thats what its all about at the end of the day, winning. Sure be naive and go all out attack, thats what cost Kildare against Meath 2 weeks ago.

That's a glorious list of good times there breffni dub. Beating a cork team that didn't train in breffni and nearly beating armagh. Is that the fruit of this glorious attacking football. Cavan are developing a slightly more expansive approach but we do not have forwards in the top tier so all out attack would be suicidal. We woukd be badly beaten if we go to a shoot out with roscommon today. If you think otherwise then good for you but you are wrong. The manager has earned the right to be trusted to do what is best and not listen to know nothing's on the side line. So stop moaning and support the lads today and get off Hylands back! fredflint (Cavan) - Posts: 1483 - 12/07/2014 15:17:52 1617779 Link 0 |
Can I ask why people are using the U21 success as proof that we have the players to play attack focused football at Senior Level? Have any of you seen the U21s style of play since 2011? Inactive x5 (Cavan) - Posts: 1452 - 12/07/2014 15:40:06 1617783 Link 0 |
I find it a worrying fact that 3 of this years u21 players are opting for America this summer, .time to go and surport the lads now!! goonie (Cavan) - Posts: 308 - 12/07/2014 15:51:30 1617787 Link 0 |

5points in a championship game at home is a disgrace, big changes needed, system not working and no plan B. Never getting soaked to watch this setup again. finea3 (Longford) - Posts: 63 - 12/07/2014 19:36:39 1617916 Link 0 |
