The Official Cavan GAA Discussion thread.

Very few in the section I was in the stand (possiby about half a dozen) and milling around the pitch afterwards I didn't see much more. Smallest number for an away I can remember.

Heard that and looking at next weekend there are over 40 games starting from 11 to around 1pm. A lot of girls games which the same referees do included.

Credit to the lads yesterday. Very decent performance and a lot of positives. First half changed when we missed a few goal chances and they stretched clear with a few points around the 19th minute mark. We need to be more clinical. The old guard of Holla, G, Jason and Dara were immence. Was impressed with the defence. Main concern is the chances coming down the right corner back spot. Seems to be an overload on that side.

In the second half, we got cleaned in the kickouts. Not sure what more the keeper could do. Derry seemed more proactive in swarming G. We need to mix it up, even if that involves flinging it to the wing or short. A lot of positives moving forward.

People on here tend to be over negative. Sure we have some bad showings but the flip side of it is that we should have turned over Meath and Cork and they are the fine margins. And above all else we have preserved our status. A sense of perspective is needed. This manager mightnt be everyones cup but lets row in behind cause sure as hell every Farney naysayer will be behind their cause.

Main areas to work on before Monaghan

• Stop there short kickouts (stop there counter attacks at source)
• Have plan B for out kickout
• Converting chances esp goals
• Get Paddy Lynch into form. We need him motoring

One thing I did like yesterday was the way we held the ball. We were quite strategic in the way we recycled the ball.

Lets be optimistic. Take Monaghan and another rattle at Derry.

We got 4 point, we got 2 by pure fluke. 19 times out of 20 you go down on 4. I think we need to stop with moral victories, Derry bet us easily.

No

Plenty of big men on this under 20 team. Something badly needed at senior level. Winning plenty of ball around the middle.

That's a great win tonight, any win over Tyrone really. Made tough work of it at times, but lots of big men out there and while nerves set in, ruled that middle third for a fair bit of the game. Great stuff

Was debating whether to go to the game tonight or not, wet cold evening for football but delighted I did and good Cavan contingent in at it, great win and definitely made hard work of it at times, wasn't helped by an Armagh ref who didn't give us much- gave them some soft frees at times and us nothing- they got a 2 pointer free in first half that was never an over carry and we had a infraction that turned a good free chance for us into a tap over for them. Thought our goalie was excellent and we had clear strategy for our and their kickouts, Dugdale and Clarke put in a great shift there even if they tired a bit late on. Jensen Tynan was brilliant at full back as was Conor Doyle, Shackleton and Tully in half backs and then forwards- Dylan Edwards kicked some great scores, Jack Dobson done very well and arguably we should of kicked long into him more, Nathan Quigley done very well when he came on, I would of had him starting- Joshua Shehu shows well and has pace to burn but ball handling and running down blind alleys a bit seems to hinder him. Could be forgetting one or two players there. Still great to get over that voodoo with Tyrone, we made them look very ordinary and we physically out matched them

Enoyable commentator. Comes out with some good 'spakes' as they say

Good to see development squads bearing fruits.
