Sitting in the airport treating myself to a liquid breakfast. Hoping for a big 3 points today. Hear the caley club calling my name 

What A glorious day for picking up three points lets hope for a good game. 

Here’s to an enjoyable afternoon in the sun!

Hopefully Welsh starts today.

Will be interesting to see the front four. Will Storey play the Keatings role or wide? I’d give MacGregor a chance in the Keatings role, but suspect he will be on the bench. 

Roll on 1500!!

I'd put doran in keatings role. 

 

Hes lethal in the centre of the pitch. 

 

That then leaves a gap for Storey or Roddy.

 

Do you think roddy is better there than Doran? 

 

Or put welsh there? 

Welsh starting in place of Carson. Otherwise unchanged from last weekend, with Walsh, Doran, Storey and White the front four.

Welsh sits no matter what, imo he's far better there and can control the midfield more.

Doran doesn't have the legs to sit in the middle anymore and if he needs a rest or a breather it's not as noticable when he's in his normal wide position.

Storey for Keatings is the obvious choice and hopefully he'll add drive to the attack from the middle and be a perfect runner off/behind White

Fort (aka ICTFC Colts) a goal to the good already.

Quiet on here today, everyone must be at the game ?

2v0 to us - Welsh (15mins), Walsh (19mins) 

Is it too much to say I hope we thrash them like Morton?

Well, if Dundee Utd don't score, that would take us above them on goal difference - or on points if Arbroath can beat them.

But I'd settle for a 2-0 win.

Utd 0 Arbroath 1 -  we are currently in 2nd position ?

Pinned to twitter now. Give us two more goals caley. And a goal for partick and Dundee and i am happy. 

 

Ayrs score looks good.

Shankland has scored in the 88th and 92nd minutes ?   Back to 3rd.

FT 2v0 

That'll do nicely, 3 points in the bag and our wee run continues

And no bookings.  BBC match stats suggest it was comfortable.  Is that right?

Yes and no. Their attacks weren't very edge of seat attacks. But we were just gash towards the end of the second half. WHY THE FECK DIDNT ROONEY JUST SHOOOOOT MUN.

Two fantastic strikes by Welsh and then Walsh. Could have been a few more as Queens goalkeeper kept the score down. Queens huffed and puffed but didn't create many chances. Job done. ?

Good all round performance in a game in which we never looked like losing. Should have been four or five nil but I'll take the two nil any day

A good performance that deserved a better attendance than we had. Some nice football played today. 

another good performance today. should of easily been at least 4 - 0 with White missing 2 absolute sitters

A game of two halves, one good one slightly disjointed - should've been three or four goals to the good but for some poor finishing. 

Happy with a clean sheet, I guess dobbie forgot his shooting boots today.

A lovely three points for my birthday today.  Thank you ICT.  

 

Deserved win, should have been more convincing, but equally we could have let them back in it during a poor spell midway through the second half. Fortunately their clearest chance was headed straight to Ridgers. 

It is great to be on a good home run, with 6 wins in 6, and there is confidence through the team. Four clean sheets on the spin in the League too  

There is much less long ball play this season, with a lot of the goal kicks being played short to Donaldson, McCart, Welsh or Vincent. 

We are a much better team when Welsh plays. 

The first was a great strike from Welsh, and the second an equally good strike from Walsh after powerful wide play by Rooney. 

Welsh then had a great free kick saved in the postage stamp corner. 

Second half was poorer, but White just couldn’t control a rebound after a great shot from Walsh (?), Storey had a great chance when he cut in from the right but got no power behind his shot and McCart hit the post. 

Ridgers had a comfortable afternoon with really just one save. 

Rooney is a much improved player this season. Tremarco did all that was asked of him and was unlucky not to control the ball properly when set up nicely in attack early on. Donaldson and McCart did well too. 

Welsh was immense and Vincent did well alongside him. The sponsors made him man of the match. 

Doran and Walsh were busy and they and Storey interchanged a lot to mix things up. 

White had a not bad game, despite the miss, and got the full 90, given Todorov replaced Storey this week. 

Carson did fine when Welsh got a deserved breather late on. 

Sadly there were only 1760 there to see it. Very poor!

Partick next week will probably be against a team with a new Manager. Hopefully we can keep our run going, but no room for complacency.

Very pleased with another, fairly comfortable 3 points.  Pity Dundee Utd got those 2 last minute goals in their match.  Very disappointing crowd.

Let us keep this good run going  and see how things stand in a few weeks.   I'm getting more optimistic every week.
