Result from today: Dundee United 2-3 Inverness CT I Don't know the team or scorers, though!

Sutherland, Wedderburn and Horner.

To be fair to the players, I notice some fans asking them on Twitter when they are due back and normally are very responsive with it - latest being Jordan Roberts who hopes to be back soon. I think it's unfair to blame the club for 'lack of information' when maybe the players themselves want to keep things under wraps. Yes football is an 'entertainment' however the players are also people like you and I. They will be ready when they're ready etc.

Polworth has been one of our best performers recently IMO. Vigurs I agree hasn't contributed much but he's been played out of position. Would like to see him more involved in the final phase where he's at his best.

Totally agree if we cant get folk in basically free I dont think prices are the problem here. In reply to Deanos point above when the players visit schools free adult tickets as well as childrens tickets are offered. Good old pester power must work sometimes? However I have spoken to a player on that subject and they find it frustrating that the kids they meet are very keen to come but the adults wont bring them! Surely you can't be saying £12 for the coldest and wettest part of the stadium to take a kid to the game is a decent price. That's pretty poor. I've got 3 girls and sadly neither are interested in football after me trying a good few times to encourage it but I wouldn't ever take them to the dreaded uncovered sections which would have definitely turned them away. Football for the occasional fan is expensive but it's not the only reason why people aren't turning up. People's work commitments at the weekends take priority and as I work 7 out of 8 Saturday's I rarely get to games now unless I request a date off especially.

According to Hughes he is away home for acupuncture, or is it to mend a puncture..............och it's easy to go off topic!

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

Sorry, I disagree, football is not a normal business its entertainment and in this line of work fans pay the money, therefore pay or heavily contribute to the wages and in doing that we are entitled to know what we are paying to see on a Saturday. If the club dont want to divulge then thats fine, but they cant expect fans to keep paying to see an understrength team and poorer quality fare becuase we have no idea if or when we may see our top talent again. Nobody is expecting fully detailed personal information of each injury or personal absence but to know if a player is injured for 1 or 2 weeks, or 6 to 8 months is as a curtosy. If these guys want full privacy then they shouldnt have a public job in the media and entertainment industry - the club cant ask us to pay our money yet not be transparent as to what we will see. if I go to the cinema I at least know the actors in the film, whether good or bad after that is irrelevent I attend because X or Y should or has the capability to be good and football is no different.

With our form I don't think bonuses will be much of an issue.

Why is the club lacking such transparency on its player recovery, we were all shocked by GW returning on Sat. We know about the long term injuries, but as above where are the 'lost men', we signed these summer players who have been constantly injured - Silva, Mutumbo, Roberts now Lopez - should we read into this bigger issues with lack of settling into the club or in some cases are they even still here? is our recrutment policy flawed and our medicals not picking up on serious injuries these guys carry?

But don't get upset over having this section available to fans if you can't make it to games and your kids don't want to go either.
