Enough good chances to have won by more but woeful ball retention leading to constant pressure from Morton
-
Just north of Dundee
-
It is a reality that without funds for transfer fees we are needing to look to find players who have potential but have missed out due to injury or other reasons. Dargo is a prime example of this. It is a balance between risk of further injury and accessing better quality.

On that logic surely all the plaudits should sit with the runners up who were punching even further above their weight!!

Hughes was possibly the most successful manager (depends how you view winning a cup against winning a league over the course of a season). Not sure the majority would say hs is our best manager. He was fortunate to inherit a team built by Butcher with a few gems from the youth ranks. He then bullied the board into loosening wages in contracts and to bring in a raft of poor players at significant cost. Whilst the year under Foran put the nail in the coffin, the rot very much started on his watch in spite of being blessed witht the best playing budget of any of our previous managers.

Disgraceful attitude of a tiny minority of ICT fans
Tree replied to Elginer500's topic in Caley Thistle
The correction of fan's moral compass is missing the point and a hollow victory at the moment. Whilst I have little time for many of the abusive shouts (and I would separate brief outbursts of frustration from some of what appears to be more premeditated vitriol directed at certain individuals), I don't see how Robo telling people where to go helps with improving attendance or enhancing any form of positivity around the club. As has been mentioned on many threads, we are struggling to attract people and even where free entry is offered then this is not sufficient to attract people to attend. We may not be alone with this problem however the on-going and continuous negativity around just about everything is hurting the club and needs to be addressed. -
He has a point. It was clearly poor support that led to his centre half to dither then fall over the ball for the second goal. Come on people. We need to step up and avoid us letting Robo down again!

Aimless punting balls forward in old school 442 formation. Apparently it is Jose that football has left behind. People keep asking why people are staying away. Half way through the first half I suspect most at the game wish they had.

Looks like Coll and Trafford coming on. Attacking options??? Assume change of formation

Embarrassing
-
McKay. WTF!
-
He’s smarter than the average bear
-
To be fair, he is clearly carrying an injury and should be applauded for playing on due to suspensions to others

Unfortunately there is a general lack of positivity around the club with match days currently not being any form of experience (this has been the case for a number of years not just the past couple). Whilst scale of attendance for atmosphere has an impact, attending a game has now become a pretty soulless experience and I find it hard to get anyone to want to come to the game even when there is a free ticket going. The negativity (this is meant at a global level and is not directed at the board, team or fans specifically) also means that there is little business benefit in investing within the club (e.g. hospitality). Somethings needs to be done to change this before there is any chance of improving attendances or getting additional investment. If you consider existing major shareholders, they all seem to have issues with each other which limits any chance of them working together to improve things.

We’re trying to sign an attacking midfielder/winger and a striker but Robbo is saying the latter is difficult to get

Higher up if the record 2004 attendance at Pittodrie is used wonder what Caley and Thistle record attendances are. Time to dig books out

Can understand being worthy of criticism but what exactly merits abuse??
-
Without trying to be overly critical as at the end of the day we were left playing with 9 1/2 men due to injury, JR has to shoulder some of the blame from a tactical sense with part of the issue being the team tiring with a high press and being 3 nil up we could have conceded the ball higher up the park and looked to be tigher together and then hit on the break. The obvious substitution was also Doran (who had a good game) for Calder who would have added pace as well as improving the left hand side defense. Instead he took off Whyte and we lost the way up front thereafter and struggled to hold the ball up (obviously made worse with Oakley's injury).

Agree

Not sure what costs you believe are of our own making? Project Brave even at the current level has very specific requirements including specified numbers of coaches for each each group. It has also resulted in having to split Roles as certain people cannot do other roles. This is beyond the control of the club. That said there are a significant amount of things wrong which are being papered over and there is quite a bit of bemusement at decisions being taken. Very diplomatically put re CC being a figurehead. Many would be a bit more blunt.

Heard about the fact that Alan was ill and terminal a couple of weeks back but as it was not public I thought better not to mention things on CTO. Having had the chance to work alongside Alan (as well as watching him play) I can say that this was a pleasure. Thoughts are with his family and friends.
