Question for Cavan folk.
Has there been a significant improvement since last Summer?
Was really surprised how poor they were in the championship meeting.
Kept saying on the way to Brefni for the championship how you never get anything easy there, and then Cavan were so poor on the day.
I have a feeling it won't be any ways near as handy Sunday week.

Hard to know. We're trying to transition from defence to attack much quicker than last year but it's a bit hit and miss. We've had three games on the trot where we've played poorly in the first half and were down 3 or 4 points only to have a much stronger second half. We were particularly poor the other night. If we repeat that against Armagh you'll be home and hosed at the short whistle. What really disappointed supporters last year against youse was we didn't throw a punch and had no real cut about us. Having said that if Rian hadn't blocked that shot on the line then it would've been a very interesting last 10 minutes with the momentum with Cavan. Ray definitely trying to address that lack of punch this year and the attitude and grit we've shown has been the standout feature of our game. We've fond memories of the Athletic Grounds too! Breffni not a fortress anymore, in fact I'd nearly think the players prefer playing away. Armagh will be big favourites which will suit us and the two week break has come at the right time as I thought we were a bit out on our feet against Meath after two physically tough away games and we might get a few bodies back.
