Is Charlie Christie not still head of youth development at ICT?

I listened to a good interview with Ruud Gillit a few months back and he made a good point about playing with one up-front. It can work, but he's got to have pace. Billy Mckay could do it because he had the skill, the pace and the work rate to hold up the ball, pressure the opposition backline and brings others into the game, as could Rooney and Storey and to a lesser extent Ofere. The problem with us is Doumbouya (who always seems to start no-matter what) is pretty awkward in possession, doesn't seem interested in the ball unless it's played right to him and is perhaps one of the slowest players we've had in years. Boden has been a hideous signing while Anier looks more like a number 10 and Ebbe is an unknown quantity. That then leaves Fisher. He has the work rate and a fair amount of pace and from what I've seen looks like he could be a very good striker if he's given a run of games. To my mind, when he's fit he should always start especially if we stick with the one up-front philosophy.

Considering the injury problems this season, the illness at the club and our general battle to stay up, was it really wise to let Jason Brown go out on loan?

I like it.

Thing it's time we had a thread dedicated simply to goalie kits. There's been some classic through the years...and some horrors. The good The Bad And the ugly!

Fans wanting Boden to start at Hamilton.. .

Foran's final sentence reminded me of something... The Caley Thistle team eh? A great bunch of lads.

It might just be me but some of the players just don't have the same fire in their bellies anymore. I thought Anier was okay and had he been signed after we lost Billy Mckay, I reckon he could've gotten a decent scoring record in that team, but we just don'thave those players anymore. And why oh why was Doran dropped? One of our best players last week and now relegated to the bench. Our team selections look more and more like they came out of a tombola to the day.

Scored a few goals against Highland League sides, but looked a headless chicken a lot of the time. Seemingly didn't sign for us as his agents doubled his demands on the realisation he'd be playing in the Europa League. I seem to recollect him agreeing to join club and then changing his mind and joining Port Vale despite already being unveiled by the first club!

I see Blair MacLennan has joined Brora on loan.

I see Liam Hughes had to fill in goal for Barrow in November. Can't have been any worse than he was outfield!

Two years ago? Seemingly he's just left them.

Is it really right for opposition fans to vote in this...? Especially when they pick the players who were poorest for us.

Adam Straith of Fredrikstad. Canadian international defender and has also player in the second tier in Germany.

Wedderburn was a strange one. Probably not good enough overall for the Premiership but certainly not the worst player we've ever had...or indeed our worst player last season. Bizarrely though some of our thicker fans seemed absolutely desperate for him to fail.

We played a back four all game. Polworth was at right back.

So Boden got a long awaited start today and I'm afraid he was absolutely rubbish. Too slow, no skill, no drive, no desire. Just hopeless. Essentially a smaller, English version of Dani Lopez. Get rid.

Watching the highlights there and that was the first time I've seen the goal back and that was my reaction too. The touch that took it into the net came off MacPhee from what I could see.

My my my, I knew the education system in Elgin wasn't the best, but this is far worse than I imagined.

You're not spelling you're right anymore! You're spelling you're right anymore!!!

I see Anier will be wearing 23 this season. Haven't seen what Ebbe is but I presume it's #9. Edit - I see the squad list on the official site has been updated and Ebbe is indeed wearing #9. Only tonight realised that in the unveiling photo, Anier was the one with the beard...!

I shall be making it safely, God willing, to the land that spelling and punctuation forgot, but please be rest-assured, me and my fellow city slickers shall be making a hasty exit back to our native land, a land of milk and honey where, unlike the fair town of Elgin, dial-up internet is seen as something from the past, not the distant future.

Imagine being from Elgin. Imagine waking up in the morning, opening your curtains and seeing Elgin. Imagine, going through your entire life, every waking minute of your likely four decades on the this planet and carrying that proverbial staff of shame, knowing that you come from Elgin. Imagine that folks, imagine that. Chilling. Absolutely chilling.
