Not sure if this is off topic but with all the injuries etc we've had this season and everyone bemoaning our start to the season we are still only 4 points behind county in 5th place and they seem to be getting a glowing report on how well they have done so far. Keep the faith and when we are back to full strength things will turn out ok

I think that I may have detected the problem. The players must be petrified that sitting on the bench could literally freeze their erases off. I asked my mole to check it out this morning and he said that it was " minus 11"

So, no need to show a goal ruled out for offside. And how was that a red card?

I thought that was a generally better performance and felt that there was a bit more positivity in the game plan. Without ever creating much in the first 45, we at least looked as if we were trying to with a lot of possession in the opposition half. Once Loy had tucked the penalty away early in the 2nd half I feared the worst as heads seemed to go down a bit and the crowd was beginning to get frustrated at the back passing and lack of urgency. Then Tansey's equaliser from the spot seemed to lift both the team and the crowd and the 10 men played with a belief that they could go on and win the game. Dundee also looked to exploit the numerical advantage. Garry Warren making a welcome and unexpected return off the bench, was given a stern test which he passed with flying colours. We ended up with quite an enjoyable game of football. Part of the more positive approach was Tremarco taking on defenders down the left. He was by no means particularly successful but it did draw defenders wide and created openings when he did get down the line. Polworth was again effective when he pressed forward and I really would like to see him and Tansey get forward more. Christie works his socks off but rarely gets a shot away or makes a telling pass. He undoubtedly has talent but he needs more movement and support around him to realise his potential. But despite an improved display, we still had too few attempts on goal. We need to get forward quicker and we need to offer a bit more variety. With only 3 league fixtures in November we may well be able to get 3 or 4 more players back before a busy December. That would be a real boost and would provide a few more attacking options to support a more positive approach.

Thought we were miles ahead of Dundee before the red card. For all their spending in the transfer market they actually look a worse team this season. Good to see the referee awarding us a ridiculously soft penalty to level things up after giving one to Dundee at the other end. Hard lines for Dave the Rave who was basically sent off for standing his ground when a ball came into the box. Some very weak officiating on display today. When Dundee appealed for a decision loud enough, they got it. Good to see Warren back! Gaining some man points for returning from a broken leg faster than most players come back from a pulled muscle. Soccer Am should send 'hard man' expert Danny Dyer up to do a feature on him.

On the issue of attendances, I personally think that Inverness as a city keeps developing and when the younger fans of our core support begin to start having families of their own, I reckon our attendance will slowly be on the rise - our time will come. As the old saying goes 'Rome wasn't built in a day' and what we've achieved in 21 years is remarkable!

Glory hunters! Pure and simple... We're no more immune to that than any other club in the country! Loads of new posters on this forum in the build-up - never to be heard of again. Literally thousands of 'fans' who attended that day who had never been to the TCS before. Literally thousands of fans who attended that day who have never been back to (or indeed, ever been to) the TCS since. We don't have 15,000 fans - we've 4,000. And if that doesn't increase after last season, then it simply never will.
