Desperate times calls for desperate measures. Tonight is the big one when Tommy either makes a meal or amess outta the rest f the season. We're not gonna go far but two wins would restore some pride after Antrim shambles.
My team would be:
1) J. Reilly
2) Fannin
3)D. Rabbitte (is he even stil on panel)
4)R. Dunne
5)R. Flanaghan
6)P. Brady
7)J. McCutcheon
8) Givney
9)Mulvey (anything is better than walsh at this stage)
10)S. Maguire (has to be better than brady)
11) Lyng (best half forward in county on the day)
12)C. Macky (No other choice here)
13)Johnston
14) R. Cullivan (will deliver)
15) G. Pierson

Not really sweeping chnges. We have to admite our defence is awful and soft. Its gotta change cos we're never gonna score much anyway. Wicklow r no tyrone but Micko will have them fired up. Back to basics, hard hittin, let the ball do the work and hopefully we'll pull thru. massive underdogs though. See u in Aughrim afterwards.

For the last five years managers have being saying we must sort out our defence, still has not happened, players mentioned in the above lists some are good players but will not play for the county maybe because of work or just have not the time, you mention defence well Darren Rabbit is the best full back in the the county but will not play, Anthony Ford even at 33 is the best center half back in the county but has stood down, a pity they would not just play out the last few matches and also bring in Mark McKeever and Dermot McCabe I would rather have 20 minuets of this person than 70 minuets of a lot of players in this panel, young Smith a talent that is going to be lost to the game what a shame for he is a natural.
Before you guys start shouting about McCabe I feel right now we need a person with passion, remember the last fifteen minuets against Down a few years back when he beat them almost on his own in that never to be forgotten period, roll on the good days again./

Hope I'm v wrong but i think a team with S Brady and Keating in the half forward line is doomed to fail. I'd rather have Mackey and Martin Reilly there any day. Also the failure to change the full back line is amazing considering they have been brutal all year - Cahill in for brides at least. I'd have cullivan on the 40 and Mulvey or Gibney in MF with Walsh. Flanning in HB line is a good call. Hope it goes well tomorro, i'll be there roaring them on regardless, the lads on the field can only do their best - lets hope the management give them some sort of a gameplan to work with and react quickly if it doesnt work!!!

pity about the same full back line again would liked to have seen fannin in there...wheres mackey???good to see cullivan in midfield should always have been there in the first place in my opinion..great to see larry back also...if our midfield break even we should sneak it by 1 or 2 hopefully..

love to know why walsh is getting another run he was terrible the last day!!!! the half forward line is also poor eugene keating getting another run makes no sense id much have mackey in there as he had 1 blip in form this year and that was against antrim when very few of the cavan team played well!!!!!

What does Eoin Smith from Killygarry have to do to get a run at fullback. In my opinion Sheridan is not up to it and neither is Brides.

I dont think Tommy Carr can lift a team. He knows the game well in conversation but does not seem to be able to react in a timely fashion during a game. He waited too long to make changes in the Antrim game and the performance was rock bottom. We need more bigger players too on the panel as Antrim seems to be able to push Cavan players off the ball at will.
