We were seriously under the cosh in the first half with Ayr having a ridiculous number of corners as pointed out above. The early goal after half time really changed the dynamic of the game and we looked much more comfortable in the second half. Deas and Devine looked very steady in the centre of defence. Delaney continues to look like the pick of the Summer signings despite being extremely one footed. Another goal from Cammy Harper who really looks like a man reborn further up the park. Stronger bench today was a bonus. All in all a very pleasing 3 points which looked highly unlikely at half time. Massive game on Friday and we really need a top drawer performance to exorcise that shocker at Firhill. Onwards and upwards.

Three good results on the road and that has to be commended. Would be great to follow that by bursting the Partick bubble...

More corners than a dododecahedron!

Three away wins on the spin! Partick battered Morton today so Friday will be tough, but we want revenge on them! Well done to the players today. If we rode our luck in the first half, they got the job done after the break. Harper with the winner again!

Trouble is that many of us see the home games but less of us see the away games. We have got most of our league points so far away from home so our away tactics are working well (except at Partick) whilst we’ve been hit and miss at home so far. However, confidence should be high now and hopefully we bring our away form into home games. Changing the subject, who’d have predicted that Cammy Harper would be our top scorer at 1 October! Great to see a local lad making such a positive impact, and good to see Roddy MacGregor feature today too.

Hopefully this impressive league run of consecutive away wins at Raith, Dundee and Ayr will generate more posts than the fury from some about a weakened ICT side scraping past Brechin in an insignificant tournament!

2 good away wins against Raith Rovers and Dundee and a home win after penalties against Brechin City although it was a poor performance. There was not a lot of votes for the three games and the person who voted for the same player three times your votes were not counted. The winner for September is Zak Delaney Another away win today to start the month and five more games this month so please keep your votes coming.

Second Half: Having been on the back foot for most of the first forty-five, Inverness stunned Ayr by opening the scoring through Cammy Harper with a glancing header into the bottom corner two minutes after the break from a Boyd cross. What a start to the second half from the visitors and Oakley had a header saved by Albinson ten minutes later when he met David Carson's cross at the back post. Substitute Jayden Mitchell-Lawson went close two minutes after coming on, shooting just wide from eighteen yards and Brad Young forced Ridgers into making a save from his header. Dodds replaced Dan Mackay with Aaron Doran with some twenty minutes left but it was Ayr substitute Logan Chalmers that shot over soon after with Jordan Houston following suit. A Dempsey corner looked to be cleared away from the line as Ayr pushed for an equaliser with three minutes remaining and the same player shot over in the dying ember, but that was it as Inverness held out for their third win on the bounce away from home. Another tremendous result on the road for Dodds' men, now level on 14 points with Ayr and third equal in the table.

Great start to the second half!!!

To get rid we'd probably have to pay, which we can't afford either. I like Robbo but I agree with you. Since returning to work in his new role, I've no clue what he's actually done, for what I'm assuming is a hefty salary. Seems more interested in the Jambos and selling his book than ICT as far as I can see. Maybe he's doing a power of work in the background. With our communication skills as a club we'd never know.

If finances are so bad why are we paying for a Sporting Director who would prefer to be a pundit than actually attend our games?

Totally agree Robert we are needing to see a good performance at home on Friday night and of course three points against the league leaders.

Good to have Moog back! If we win by 4 goals on Friday you will be right, at least until Queens Park play on Saturday.

Are they not extinct?

Another good win (its goals that count, not corners!). Really looking forward to the TV match v PT on Friday. If we can win that one our season really will be on the up. Well done today, lads.

And it certainly was a vital win - with Partick, Queen's and Dundee all winning, we needed that just to keep in touch.

Wow! I can't believe we won. Most corners conceded ever!!!

Ayr dominant at the break Ayr were one of the early leaders ahead of the visit from the Caley Jags. They strengthened their push for promotion by adding the man with the sweet left foot to their squad ahead of this encounter, Logan Chalmers, and he started on the bench today. Inverness were still without a handful of players although Max Ram played for an hour last week against Brechin City and he and Roddy MacGregor were on the bench after a few weeks out with injury. Ayr got the game underway and forced two early corners before Andy Murdoch shot wide in the third minute. Inverness responded with Steven Boyd winning a corner from a deflected shot and Ayr cleared ball effectively. In the twelfth minute, a Mark McKenzie header hit the bar and out for a goal kick after Josh Mullen had crossed into the box. Big let off for the visitors. Quarter of an hour gone and the two Mackay's combine before Daniel brings out an excellent save from Albinson at his near post and Murdoch's looped header cleared Mark Ridgers' crossbar. Billy Mckay sliced wide after Dan Mackay's shot from the left side was blocked and fell for Billy on the volley. More Ayr pressure saw a Mullin effort blocked and Musonda headed over the subsequent corner midway through the half. Ayr were racking up the corners in the first half with half an hour played, one every three minutes and counting with Sean McGinty next to head wide. Ten minutes before the break a rare foray forward saw George Oakley and Mckay interact but the latters cut back was cleared by the defence and five minutes before the interval McKenzie shot wide from six yards after good work by Akinyemi. We went in level at the interval but Ayr were knocking on the door with some intent. HALF TIME: 0-0

Now 12-1 to Ayr after 25 minutes. Would be a good game to win

Two wins to top the table. Happy clapping is back.

That was just to see if anyone read the article...

Just seen that Ayr have signed Logan Chalmers on loan for the season. Possibly makes his debut against us tomorrow.
