Whatever the reason, things seem to have gelled in the last month. However, we did have a shorter pre season than other clubs and a long injury list for many months. And we will never know the impact the personal challenges facing Robbo and Kells were having on the players. I just hope both are getting over the challenges they have faced and feel able to return at the right time for them. In the meantime, I hope they are enjoying the run and we are able to get into the play off places for them.

I have no wish to diminish the efforts John Robertson has gone to to benefit our club over the last four years but it seems apparent now that the interim management team are getting something out of the players that he was failing to.

Our game with St Mirren is at 1500 on Saturday 17 April and is not on BBC or Premier Sports. The Dundee league game that day is now 1900 on Tuesday 20th. The last league game with Ayr on 30 April is now a 1945 kick off.

It is really great watching a real football team. This is no disrespect to Robbo he built the team they have just suddenly switched on.

At the end of 2017/18 we won 9 of the last 11 games but the draws meant the winning run never went past 5.

I was never treated with such civility

With apologies for the double post but given how derided they have been during the ICT careers I think it's only fair that (Brad) Mckay and Devine get some acknowledgement for their performances at the back. We have looked a lot better defensively in recent weeks and if people are going to criticise players when it's going wrong it's only fair to praise them when things are going well. Whilst players like Todorov and MacKay are, rightly, getting a lot of applause the likes of Devine and Mckay should also be included.

Getting there

Don't mention it. Now in future, behave yourself 😉

I agree this will be a tough game and we are definitely underdogs. St Mirren’s form is mixed. Before beating Hamilton 3-0 in the cup yesterday, they had won 2, drawn 5 and lost 3 of their previous 10 league games, with the wins being at home to County and Kilmarnock. Their defeats have been to the top three, Rangers, Celtic and Hibs. We can go there looking for a result and, if we get one, it will be a bonus in my opinion. We have 6 games to come in April, 7 if we win the cup tie, and other than Morton all our league rivals are out of the cup. But we need to focus on this week and getting good results on Tuesday at Morton and on Saturday at Queen of the South. Despite our recent run, we are only 5 points ahead of 9th so we can’t lose focus.

Fair to say we have the best possible Quarter Final if we get past St Mirren. Montrose or Killie, absolute dream. Plus one less old firm team in the running.

Ross County 1 - Inverness Caledonian Thistle 3. It might not be in the league and it might not be quite 5-0, but this will do me just fine. C'mon Caley!
