Having said that, I would have preferred Drake or Crowe to get a chance there instead. Horan said that Harrison was cramping up during training on Tuesday which is probably why he's out.

Vaughan for Ruane, Ruane can be eased in and a bit daft putting him in for his first start after playing Sigerson a few days previous. Reape for Regan, because Regan. Harrison for Caff, because Caff. Hate being harsh on players but I'm not sure what's being achieved by persisting with Regan & Caff. We've built up momentum, it would be great to keep it going and there's very little point given debuts to lads in a weakened team... see how they get on with quality around them or you'll never really know.

Cavan will be much more defensive than Tyrone and if this wind keeps up, it could end up like the Roscommon game. The team named wouldn't fill you with huge confidence either. Ruane and Colm Moran are completely untested at this level. A couple others are lucky to be getting another chance. Don't know too much about the Cavan team but our full back line could be skinned for pace if Caff and Coen start there.

Before Kildare, when was the last time they lost to a significantly weaker (on paper) team? Okay they've suffered a few in the league, but by definition any defeat to another Div 1 team can hardly be deemed a massive shock...

Good to see the new lads coming in, they have great potential so hoping to see some it on Saturday, though 1st time out for them against a teak tough Cavan side. Would have preferred to see the FB line kept in tact, familiarity breeds continuity and consistency, so they were better off keeping them there. Clarke in is an interesting one, doesn't do much for Hennellys confidence, but lets see.

If Horan is looking at Reape being some kind of successor to Andy, only way is to keep playing him - to see if he thrives with experience, or maybe not consistent enough to lay down a marker - like say Loftus.

A win away to Tyrone last Sunday means Mayo have won their opening two league games for the first time since 2012. Saturday's team sees 5 changes from the one which started last Sunday's win.In to the side come David Clarke,Ger Cafferkey,Matthew Ruane,Evan Regan and Colm Moran.Dropping out are Rob Hennelly,Brendan Harrison,Donal Vaughan,Ciaran Treacy and Brian Reape.All that means Colm Moran will be making his debut while 2016 All Ireland under 21 winner Matthew Ruane will be making his first start in a senior jersey having come off the bench late on last Sunday.The team is captained by Aidan O Shea. 1. David Clarke - Ballina Stephenites 2. Stephen Coen - Hollymount/Carramore 3. Ger Cafferkey - Ballina Stephenites 4. Keith Higgins - Ballyhaunis 5. Lee Keegan - Westport 6. Michael Plunkett - Ballintubber 7. Paddy Durcan - Castlebar Mitchels 8. Diarmuid O Connor - Ballintubber 9. Matthew Ruane - Breaffy 10. Fionn McDonagh - Westport 11. Aidan O Shea - Breaffy 12. Jason Doherty - Burrishoole 13. Evan Regan - Ballina Stephenites 14. Andy Moran - Ballaghaderreen 15. Colm Moran - Westport Great to see James Horan mixing it up so much. Delighted we're getting to see Colm Moran and Matthew Ruane start.
