Considering there's been a lot of whinging about how we haven't adequately replaced Adam Rooney, and how we don't have an adequate goal threat, and that Tade isn't a 'natural goalscorer' (whatever the hell that means), I thought it might be interesting to compare Rooney from last season against Tade from this season: Rooney in 2010/11 All competitions: 21 goals in 42 games (41 starts, 1 as sub) SPL: 15 goals in 38 games (37 starts, 1 as sub) Tade in 2011/12 All competitions: 6 goals in 15 games (13 starts, 2 as sub) SPL: 6 goals in 14 games (13 starts, 1 as sub) Note that Rooney's goals included 7 penalties, 5 of which were in the league. So he only scored 10 goals from open play in the SPL last season. Tade is, in fact, only 4 goals away from equalling Rooney's total in open play for the whole of last season in the SPL!

BA yesterday:

Just try and take the smile of my face...i dare you! What a terrific attacking display, a game that even at 1-0 down we were well on top off. Killie took the lead against the tun of play and right on half time Andrew Shinnie scores a cracking shot from a tight angle and we deservedly hit half time level. What followed was the greatest 20 minutes ive experienced in my young life as an ICT fan. Kenny Shiels was very naive to let such an inexperienced left back spend the afternoon against Jonny Hayes and it hurt them as Jonny cut in and scored a terrific shot from about 25 yards, a few minutes later Shinnie curls in another, followed by a terrific run and finish by Tade and to round of the rout Davis goes on a rampant run before Shinnie takes over and completes his hat trick. No debate about the penalty and didnt even see the 3rd goal. This could be the real turning point for us, we've been waiting to give someone a hammering and this was what came. There seemed to be more of an understanding as well, paticularly in midfield and attack, some of the passing and runs were wonderful and was an indication of the strides we are making. Pick of the bunch was Davis, he ran himself ragged from box to box today, got involved in a scrap but didnt let it affect his play and his relentless run which led to Shinnie's 3rd goal was nothing short of brilliant. Imho his twitter comments may be irritating to some but this boy has been a great addition to our midfield and has shown he has what it takes to succeed at this club. If possible we have to keep him until the end of the season. 2 concerns from today, one is that our defence is still very fragile, Killie produced very little today but still managed to find 3 goals. Once Hogg and Piermayr return we need to get this defence as settled as possible in order to improve it. The other is Tansey, showed great energy and a hunger to get forward today but he is far too concerned about playing the perfect pass and his set pieces were incredibly average too, he needs to keep it simple. So to sum up, incredible day out and one which will never be repeated for a while. A game that has really put the spirit back in the team and i think too in the fans, so well done to the lads and more of the same please.

I have had a similar vision but it was 4-0 and Lennon got the boot and the North Stand sang "Juanjo"

I thought that Tades second v Killie was a classic strikers goal. Perhaps just somewhere there is a portion of his footballing brain connected to his foot, and that like rooney/wyness etc given time he will score heaps more

been very impressed with Tade...... his work rate alone must make him one of the first names on the team sheet.

We have used that same 4-2-3-1 formation and it won us the First division. It does work well against bigger teams where we can counter and move the two wide men of the attacking midfield upfront to make a kind of 4-2-1-3

My priority would be to get David Davis for another 6 months We need a centre back that can fill in for tokely and Hogg when their out There is plenty quality in our squad just it's not very big we need to sign decent cover for injured players

Sgoinneil ICT s math a rinn sibh!Well done ICT what great viewing on a Saturday night.

CONGAS IN THE STAND HAHA! 5-1 MON THE CALEY!

I've got an idea. Why don't all the SPL teams go into administration, get the debts cleared off their books and then start with a clean slate - and with every team getting the same 10 point penalty, nobody is actually worse off! (Well, apart from the creditors that is, but since when did fans care about them.)

An attacking 4-3-3 for me - Esson Meekings Tokely Hogg Gillet Davis Tansey Foran Tade A.Shinnie Hayes Subs - Tuffey, Golobart, G.Shinnie, Chippendale, Piermayr, Cox, Sutherland Hogg has to come straight back in IMO. Celtic have seem to a have very dodgy defence these days, so three strikers to press high up the pitch.

Sack them all!!

4-2-3-1 4-3-3 and 4-5-1 are the same formation All then have 4 defenders 3 centre midfeilders usually 2 holding the other in the hole 2 wingers given freedom and 1 striker At the end of the day if calling it a 4-3-3 gets us 6 goals every week that's what I'm calling it
