We've done it before, and if the performances and spirit maintain the level set yesterday, we can do it again.

I was fortunate to be invited to hospitality yesterday, and it was excellent. Hosted by Keith Haggart, Robbo spoke pre-match and Reece McAleer was interviewed at the Man of the Match presentation. A nice meal and good service, with a jovial atmosphere throughout. I’d recommend it. Robbo advised that Danny Devine and Joe Hardy picked up knocks on Thursday, whilst Roddy MacGregor had also looked to be ready, but was feeling his leg so they didn’t risk him. Reece McAlear is clearly enjoying his time here and feels he has learnt and developed a lot. He was particularly complimentary about Kirk Broadfoot who has been mentoring him. As for the game, a good performance and a well deserved result, topped off by two fine goals. Other than a short spell after our first goal, with two important and good saves by Cammy MacKay, I thought we were well on top and seldom troubled. The other highlight was the chanting after Polworth got subbed of “Polly Polly what’s the score?” whilst Donaldson was booed whenever the ball was near him and he was losing the plot by the end. A good day all round!

OK Cammy

We started this campaign with a five game winning run, it would be great if we could better that from now till the end of the season.

Much, much better performance from the team. Credit to them and Dodds. Dunfermline were never in that game save for a short spell after we scored when MacKay kept us in the game with some stunning saves. McAlear's Jimmy Ping was simply gorgeous. Incredible technique to hit that so well but also so controlled. I will never tire of watching it. Great finish by Samuels for his first ICT goal mere seconds after I bemoaned his appearance in place of Mckay Picking players to get points in the MotM was a chore but for the right reasons this time. So many good performances from Sutherland, Deas, Duffy, McAlear etc but looking back I think I've been harsh to exclude Carson who had the cigars out keeping Dom Thomas in his back pocket the entire time Thomas was on the pitch. A real return to form for Carson. I feel like Arbroath are running on fumes at the moment so could we sneak second spot? We've probably left ourselves with too much to do but you never know...

I have in the past been critical of caleys play. Yesterday was the first game I have seen for a while what a difference back to the team I loved and supported great movement supporting each other what a team.

I've watched this strike all morning...

Lucky Charles Bannerman doesn't post on here now he would be sorting you all out

Hi folks As a goodwill gesture I am currently building a new website for the Inverness Caledonian Thistle Supporters Trust and in need of finding some images I can use. In particular, I'm looking for one for the homepage ideally showing the stadium. I'd be grateful for any photos at all of inside the ground and hopefully will be launching this site very soon. It would also be nice to see new members joining so the trust can continue to reach its goals. Thank you

Great game and fantastic atmosphere. First half totally in control without carving them open. Bit nervy after we scored but brilliant to see the attitude to defending our goal - ‘thou shalt not pass’ style. Two top quality goals. Think I got sunburnt!

It's been almost three decades since I have been critical of Caley's play. Even then, I was in no great position to do so as Thistle's play was even more worthy of criticism.

He very rarely loses possession or misplaces a pass. We seemed to try to play to our strengths yesterday which was refreshing. It’s just a pity we don’t play for two weeks given we have been building momentum but it will give the players with injuries time to recover. Also a shout out for Doran and Duffy. Doran has lost his pace, but it was his vision and a great pass that let Samuels into score. Duffy has looked confident and capable any time he has played at centre half, and seems more natural there than at right back. He is really unlucky not to have had more game time this season.

Did Samuels not sign a permanent 18 month contract?

The fury shown by their 'keeper towards his defenders is priceless.

A mention for Duffy who had a good game. His willingness to run forward providing the freekick that led to Maclears goal.

It's a pity that, now that we have last tapped into a vein of good form, that there is such a delay before our next fixture. I like the Challenge Cup as a tournament although I would rather we are not eligible to take part next season. However, the final usually takes place earlier in the season and I wonder whether it is appropriate, at this late crucial stage in the league season with so many sides having so much to play for, it is appropriate for it to take precedence over league fixtures rather that being played midweek under the lights.

Sutherland pick of the bunch today, some great touches and seems to be relishing playing in a wider role.

Which, with a little care taken, could easily have been avoided.

I wonder which fans were allegedly consulted re the song wording? ie got it wrong?

They have the name right at least.

The 'master tactician'.

Also taking off Thomas and Polworth sealed their fate- cheers Yogi
