Good run out for the boys tonight. People on this are probably wondering about players they haven't seen much of or any of, I'll sum up what I thought: First Half I thought McNaughton looked very tidy, just what I expected, an experienced defender, comfortable on the ball and certainly would be an asset to the club, started left back but is right sided so would be good cover for Raven or tremarco. Mulraney looked okay, definitely more to see from him, very direct and always looking to get on to his favoured left foot and get a cross in. Alex fisher was the least impressive out of the players in the first half, seemed like he was way of match practise, his touch just wasn't there but I think he will come. as for the youngsters, was impressed by them especially Maclennan and Sutherland, Second Half Looked a lot sharper team in the second half, Polworth and Vigurs looked very impressive along with the boy Robertson on the right. the new striker Boden is someone everyone can look forward to. Looks a cracking find, very clever striker and always sits on the last man. Was very unlucky not to get on the score sheet. overall I am quite content with the team we have. Still holding on hope that we may bring back Billy McKay. So if we could take in McNaughton, McKay, another winger and another centre back I'll be more than happy

The objective in these matches is not winning or to be entertaining....it's about getting a run out, shaking off the cobwebs and the manager trying to get a gauge on where players are at with fitness/sharpness. The only people who can judge how successful the match was are the Manager and Coaches. I've seen pre-seasons where we've gone out and won every friendly, bagging goals by the fistful and had terrible starts to the season....and vice-versa. We saw one trialist and Richie has said he'll be running the rule over another 2 or 3 before the start of the league season...and also that he won't rush any decision as he wants the right players and not just any players. Maybe I'm just getting more chilled about these things in my old age, but I don't get worked up over pre-season matches anymore. I think I might have just had a "turning into my Dad" moment!!!

Given Kevin's experience and ability is it all likely that this could also be a signing of a future coach?

Going by these programmes I think there has. 1981,1983 and 1992.

The reason we have 'one of the longest club names' in British football is that it reflects a history that goes back a hundred and thirty years. That may not be important to you but it is to many of us.

I could be wrong but I don't think there's ever been an Inverness Caledonian FC

Foran remains undefeated as a manager.
