Dear Mr Butcher,

You're obviously a well known man, who has a great knowledge of football. The only problem is that there's some stuff that ICT need to do, and if ICT are going to win the First Division, there's some stuff that really needs changing.

• Please, please, please get Tokely out of the central defence role. He's a right back and that's where he plays best. He isn't Darren Dods or Bobby Mann and can't read the game from this position. Also ICT lose a heck of a lot of attack down the right. Move him back there ASAP. For someone who was such a legendary England defender, I'm surprised you can't see this. If this Bulvitas signs up, and he's up to it. Play him at centre-back at all times.
  

• Find some else to be captain. Munro is not a captain and ICT really need one to progress at this level. Tokely is probably the best candidate for now. Give it too him.
  

• If Russell Duncan can't pass, then drop him. I'm sorry, but I don't thnk I've ever seen a worse passer of the ball.
  

And last but not least:

• For the love of God boot these long ball tactics to the skip outside Caley Stadium. They are just horrific to watch. It was the hoofs forward that was a big factor in Brewster's fall from grace and they could be yours as well, if you don't boot them. Stick to the old simple slinky style Paterson used to play. Keep the ball on the deck as much as possible and play to the wings. Caley Stdium is built for this sort of play. Surely you don't want your ICT career to go the way of your Brentford, Sunderland, Coventry and Sydney ones do you? Hell, you even finished last one year with Motherwell and it was only Brockville that saved you from going down. Do you really want to be like Ossie Ardiles and put your name forward for every job under the sun? Of course not.
  

Please take the time to read these suggestions and hopefully integrate them into the team of ICT.

Yours sincerly

Yes and No.....yes....Grant Munro has NO leadership qualities that i can see. No....dont make Tokely captain...he is far too imature, tempestous and a too much of a liability for that role.

I agree with you here :)

I love Rossco but h just wouldn't cut it as a Captain

How? What doesnt he have to be captain

He's suspended more often than any other player i can think of , better to have your captain on the pitch I'd imagine .

Maturity..... Forans for me, years of experience in the game playing under other managers and seeing how other captains play, rosscos not got the experience of other captains either really..

composure for one, secondly a tendency to rack up bookings which is not really a good example for a captain to set.

Watching our manager give the team loads of verbals during matches, there is not really the requirement for a captains voice on the park.

What we need is a leader on the park, with passion and conviction, who maybe does pick up a card or two along the way due to this, but frightens the life out of other teams who all love to hate him, with just cause.

Managers quote " I wish I had 11 Rossco's on the park" or something like that!

Rossco it is then.

oh i dont disagree but on that I'd say team this year will be fearing Foran more...

Georgios,

TB signed 3 players in January to confirm. Foran, Kerr and Odiamhbo

Morais, Gatheussi, Mihadcjuks and Byrne were all brought in by Craig Brewster. With Morais scoring a double v Partick for CB in cup before we got beaten by Hamilton in the next league game. CB then got the boot.

I dont really see Rossco as a great captain. When he's good he's good but he does tend to blow hot and cold on occasions. Not what you want in a captain. You really need consistency.

And what exactly does munro do consistently to warrant being captain?

Munro consistently finds the opposition central defence witha good long punt. Its no good but at least its consistent.

cheers for that, there was a lot of ins and outs around the same time... CB to be fair did take in some good players just as he got the boot.
