Replying To sceptical: "Now this is silly. Typical monaghan man exposes his own weaknesses whilst trying to expose ours. Jack McCarron scored 3 29 in seven games greatly inflated by an extraordinary performance against Dublin. Minus that game he scored 3 18. Gearoid Mckiernan scored 2 17 having missed the majority of the Dublin game. Therefore they are almost equal in the scoring stats. Mcvitty scored almost as much as Mcmanus. Cavan had a number of other scorers who reached double figures. WHAT'S YOUR POINT?" Why are you cherry picking stats? Iamlegion666 (Monaghan) - Posts: 285 - 07/06/2017 20:40:04 1996664 Link
Replying To Iamlegion666: "Why are you cherry picking stats?" Explain? He asked who our top scorer was. I merely pointed out how Mckiernan is nearly on a par with McCarron in this year's league stats. Now people have rightly pointed out how Johnston seems to have lost the scoring touch. Monaghan lads use that as evidence that cavan don't have the forwards to win Sunday. Mcmanus had a pretty poor league also. Therefore by your own crowds logic you are also going to struggle for scores? sceptical (Cavan) - Posts: 544 - 07/06/2017 21:46:08 1996688 Link
The big problem for Cavan is they will have to deploy 3 to 4 players to look after McManus and jack. There next problem will be what to do with Mc Carthy. I have only named 3 players here and it will take most of the Cavan defence to look after these 3. K Hughes is going to have the game of his life to make up for the black card he should not have got. mon07 (Monaghan) - Posts: 139 - 07/06/2017 21:46:27 1996689 Link

You heard it here first....Cavan will deploy a very defensive system on Sunday, the aim being to stop McManus & McCarron. They've been deploying those tactics in training for the last 6 weeks, so it will be up to Monaghan to break them down, and in my opinion, if Cavan keep their discipline, they could win this game. But, there's a lot of gibberish coming from a lot of Cavan supporters. Monaghan are among the better teams in the Country, they've held their own in Division One for a few years and won two recent Ulster Titles. Cavan have won nothing since 1997, we are on par with Tipperary & Clare as it stands, both better known as hurling strongholds. I'm afraid thats where Cavan Football is at the moment, and unless that get a good run in this years Championship, we'll still be on par with them. Outside of Cavan, nobody actually cares about Cavan Football, we are not a threat to any of the bigger teams, they view us as they view the likes of Westmeath, Laois etc - if even we beat Monaghan on Sunday, Tyrone and Donegal will see it as a very comfortable Ulster Final for them. So take off your blue blinkered glasses and get to grips with the fact that Cavan Football is where we belong, in the 2nd tier of Gaelic Football. cavanblueman (Cavan) - Posts: 636 - 08/06/2017 12:28:16 1996882 Link
Well said Cavanblueman but Cavan deploying a defensive system is hardly a surprise as they have been at it for the last 5/6 years...!!! Sean.66 (Cavan) - Posts: 293 - 08/06/2017 13:43:52 1996921 Link

Good luck to the lads and the new management on Sunday. The closer this game gets the more confident I'm starting to feel. Monaghan are raging hot favourites in most peoples' eyes. Some of their supporters are unusually confident going into this, almost to the point of losing the run of themselves. Now I know genuine football people will be expecting nothing easy but it still reflects what a lot of people in Monaghan are thinking. They've been building nicely in Division 1 for a while now. They've added some new forwards to take the load of McManus. Achilles heel sorted! They're on the up and up, next level here they come. Cavan on the other hand are average at best, relegated, no forwards, where's the scores going to come from? They cannot possibly beat Monaghan and this game is just an inconvenience to the Farney. Get it out of the way and roll on to bigger and better venues. Hopefully some of that pressure gets to their squad as it invariably can with football teams. Monaghan may be nervous going into this and if they're not they should be. I honestly don't know what Cavan team will turn up. Could be awful or could be sublime if their League form is anything to go by. But there's certainly a vibe coming from them of a team steely determined, going about their business under no illusions of the task ahead of them. The myth that we don't have footballers? We're missing a talisman but we certainly have footballers. And we certainly have players capable of scoring. It's just that we've been inconsistent and on any given day we could have no one to multiple players racking up the points. There's nothing like the sight of a Monaghan jersey to raise our ruff and if it clicks for us on Sunday then our dear neighbours will be unpleasantly surprised. Our new manager is a bit of a maverick too. God knows what plan he may have but one thing about him is he is not afraid to try anything and he is certainly a very shrewd football man. He will have learned an awful lot from the league and I really hope he's a success here. Terry got a lot of unfair criticism while here but in fairness most of his successes were in League and we always seemed flat come Championship. Hopefully with our new man and new methods we will see a change from that and a massive improvement in the team from League to Championship. And what better way to announce a new era than Sunday in a packed Breffni! Hardtimes (Cavan) - Posts: 1056 - 08/06/2017 22:45:20 1997146 Link
