Libero

We are so consistently inconsistent at the moment i dont have a clue how we are going to perform in the next game, still live in hope of 3 points though

pennies compared to the £93million they potentially owe the HMRC, Wonder how much of that we'll see back, not much i'd reckon

For me the Sir Alex and Beckham issue showed to me that Sir Alex wasnt going to take any prima donna bullplop and told Becks that it was my way or the highway. IMO that shows that SAF wasnt adaptable at all, he wasnt willing to change his morals or rules in the dressing room for anyone. Adaptability in reacting to teams and their tactics is a completely different thing to changing your team rules to suit one player, that for me isnt adaptability but more bowing to player pressure. If you were to say that SAF is great at adapting his team tactics to suit game situations then i would completely agree, he does not and will not ever adapt his team ethics for a player getting ideas above his station. IMO Terry should stay but needs to work on his use of subs and changing tactics in game to suit the opposition. If the long ball tactic aint working then dont use it! He should get another season and if we are still misfiring then new management may be required then.

Would love to see Rory do it but still have doubts, i'm confident Rory will be in the mix come the final day though. I have a feeling that Tiger could do well

He has signed for St Johnstone, he may well be a player with quite a lot of baggage but i think he will be a good signing for them No confirmation on how long the deal is but the Saints have a pretty formidable frontline at the moment with Sandaza, Sheridan and Riordan. Given our striking problems of late i am pretty envious of their striking options at the moment

Story on the Inverness Courier website here: http://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/News/250000-investment-in-Caley-Thistle-29032012.htm

Not only does it dishearten regular fans but how on earth are we to attract new fans if we continue to put out useless displays on the park. I am always on at friends (who either dont support local teams or dont usally follow football) in Inverness to come along to games and last night i took my fourth guest this season to a home game. They were hugely suprised how poor we were and i think i would be hard pushed to tempt them back. This is not the first time this is happened when ive taken friends to home games, it really doesnt do us any favours

that for me is an excellent suggestion. I think if you relieve some of the defensive duties asked of Tansey then he has more scope to get forward and link the defence to attack. Tansey and Ross in the midfield in front of Jones would be hugely more creative than having three deep central midfielders IMO

I could come on here and criticise all the players for the performance last night but that for me wasnt the biggest worry for me. The biggest worries i have of last night was the 'tactics' and 'personnel' chosen by the manager. I agree it must have been difficult to change things after putting on a good first half display at Aberdeen however we were playing a largely average Aberdeen side and it is clear to see that St Johnstone are playing well this season and may require a different approach. Whether we have a scouting system in place that analyses oppositions' normal tactics i dont know but it our tactics did not work last night. It was clear to anyone there last night that lumping high balls to a small forward was not working, this doesnt work ever, so why on earth were we happy to persist with it! Our midfield didnt gel at all last night. Tansey came here as an attacking midfielder who can score goals but he constantly plays deep and to be honest his set-pieces and shooting have been very poor of late. Foran started very well in his new role as a holding midfielder however with Tansey and OTJ basically playing the same role do we really need 3 holding midfielders? Where is the creativity? Set pieces were a shambles last night, do were practice them in training? All we did was lump the ball into the box and hope for the best Sutherland and Tade are wasted out on the wings and by the time Terry saw fit to change it, it was too late and his decision to put Tansey at right midfield was a strange one. We really need players like Hayes and Doran back to have any success on the wings Playing McKay up front alone was a risk and playing high balls to him was lunacy however on the rare occasion he got the ball to him, in space, in the box, he did very well and looked capable of creating something. It didnt happen often enough though I have to say last night left feeling really really disheartened and i havent felt this low about watching Caley in a long time. I dont get to many away games through other commitments and costs and i can honestly say i cannot remember the last time i left TCS thinking we played good football, were spot on tactically and i have optimism for the future. It seems on the rare occasion we play good football we are away from homee and youve got to ask why, i cant for the life of me understand why Bring on next season, get some new players in, dead wood out and start again

Just back from the game, what a dreadful game, couldnt pass, couldnt shoot, couldnt hold onto the ball, were second to most balls and in general we seemed to lack any creativity, enthusiasm or fight. I will write a more detailed synopsis in the morning but that was painful to watch. Only positive point for me was Tokelys performance, if it wasnt for him we would have conceded a lot more. Penalty was handed on a plate to St Johnstone, what Tade was doing charging like a bull into the player i will never know

Veering slighty off topic but i would love to see a video clip containing all of our rejected penalty appeals, from what i can remember there were quite a few stonewallers that we didnt get. Back on topic, for me i think the squad needs tinkered with. If we keep roughly the same squad, in terms of players on 1 year deals extending then we need another striker and a couple of defenders IMO. We really need to be running with 4 players capable of playing centre half. Our scoring has been a low this season but it has been made ten times worse by the fact we have conceded so many!

Esson Meekings----Tokely----Williams----Gillet/Shinnie ----Foran----Tudur-Jones---- Ross--------Tansey------------------Tade ----McKay---- Gillet in at left back if he's fit. Shinnie if not Thoughts? Any more injuries we have to contend with?

Sounds like this may be nearing a conclusion: http://sport.stv.tv/football/scottish-premier/inverness/301158-ex-pat-group-to-acquire-major-stake-in-inverness-caledonian-thistle/

I certainly dont have a problem with them groundsharing with us, will bring us added revenue and i'm all for two north teams playing in the SPL

Sorry didnt see Kachloul. I was going on nationalitites in post #58 racking my brain to think of others now, cant be many left I think the best way to think of others is to think of nations we haven't yet found anyone for, tried that as well, still left my scratching my head

The results certainly went in our favour but it means nothing unless we can take advantage of it. Rangers are weakened by off-field problems and numerous injury problems, perfect time to take points off them. We need to do well against teams around us so the last 4 games before the split are crucial IMO. We can take points from Aberdeen and St Johstone when we play to our potential, we just have to make sure we do this. Too often we follow up a good performance with a mediocre one

Sorry didnt see Kachloul. I was going on nationalitites in post #58 racking my brain to think of others now, cant be many left

Morocco - Mehdi Taouil? French Born but capped by Morocco?

Full Time Forres Mechanics 2-8 Inverness CT Winnall (3+36+47) Smith (13) McKay (23+37+41) -- ictfans (@ictfans)

Hopefully Tade is back for the weekend. Just read this in the Courier about tonights friendly in Forress:

yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssss

i was thinking the exactly the same thing. What on earth is wrong with putting Winnal on?? GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Darren Dodds and Grant Munro also have scored today..... oh for the days when we had centre-halves who could score!!

1550 Dunfermline goal: The Pars take the lead against the run of play. From a disputed free-kick, Martin Hardie's free-kick comes off the crossbar, David Proctor makes a poor clearing header and Andy Kirk sets up Joe Cardle to fire home. Jim McIntyre's side are on course to move off the foot of the table! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
