I'm really starting to hate the man. He doesn't seem to care about us fans one bit

We still need a forward, especially if Brewster is not willing to give Rooney a chance. I don't think Morais will be the answer to all of our problems and at the moment, a lot of people seem to be thinking that he is going to dig us out of this hole that we are in.

we beat them 7-3 in the same season i think. That was a pretty awesome game. Our games against killie though are usually high scoring too and they are the only team we can beat at home so i'm not too bothered.

in our current state, i would definitely not fancy our chances against that team of brew's rejects!

I agree that the players could take us out of this mess, but we definitely do not have the manager to do it. I really can't understand how the board fail to see this as the weeks progress. Surely they have to wake up and smell the coffee sometime soon???

It was kind of inevitable. What happened to the days where we had all our players on long term contracts, well before January came round? We have lost, and continue to lose our best players. Black is just the next one in a very long line of players who have left or have been pushed out the door. We haven't recovered since Dods left, and then telling the likes of Graham Bayne to leave in the summer when we had almost no recognised strikers on the pay roll. Now our midfield is vanishing before our eyes with Black and Wilson gone/going, and probably Cowie too. Good luck to Blackie at Hearts. I would be very happy to see him stay until summer as I think he would continue to give his all for the club. If he helped us stay in the SPL, the money from that would be a lot more than the money we would get from Hearts in January.

Yes we can stay in the SPL, but only if the board do something fast and get a new man in place before it is too late. There is no point in freeing up money to use in the transfer window and giving it to Brewster, only for them to realise that he isn't a good manager (like we have been saying for some time now) and then getting rid of him. This would cost the club even more money in the long run, and a new manager would probably not be given any more money to buy the players they want. They may not even have time to bring anyone in before the window shuts. If Brewster stays, things will continue until it is too late. By then we could be well adrift at the bottom and who knows if we could recover from it. Something needs to be done. Now.

steve maclaren - actually, he was quite good from some people's points of view

i just sent mine too!

Well if a national newspaper, for example, say that a manager is walking on thin ice, then that club surely wouldn't bar them from attending the games. I think those at ICT who stop local journalists from going to games if they write about the club in a "bad" way, are being a bit childish. The press have a duty to provide both sides of the coin to the public for them to then construct their own opinions on, if they haven't already.

what happened to freedom of speech with the Journos - if they want to say exactly what's going on and what the fans think, then they should. The Board are just trying to ignore the truth. The silence from the club has been deafening. Chairman who?

Enough Brewster bashing, let's talk about the team for a change. Transfer window is coming up and I think we are desperately in need of an experienced forward, and I would also like to see a new centre back as I'm not the biggest fan of Phil Mcguire. As for the forward situation, if Brewster is going to play Barrowman, then there is no point in putting him up there on his own, he needs someone to play with. What does everyone else think we need? Personally, I'm gutted we let Graham Bayne go, without getting in a forward with SPL experience. He always ran himself into the ground and won his fair share of headers. Maybe wasn't the most prolific of scorers, but he always worked for the team.

the last time brewster was here, before he left for dundee utd, ICT had only lost to Celtic twice on the road in almost 2 years. since brewster has come back, it looks like the away form is gradually coming back. but our home form is dire. if he wants to sort it out he really has to look at the tactics: one forward in a 4-5-1 formation is not the way to go. surely he can see, along with everyone else in the ground, that its not working? especially if the forward is barrowman - he needs somebody else up there with him. i didnt want brewster back, but like many others, decided to back the board with their decision. Now, the treatment of ICT legends like Barry Wilson just seems disgraceful. i reckon brewster wanted barry out because he saw him as a threat to his job, as it would have been easy for the board to appoint barry as manager if they sacked brewster. i think the board now have a very important decision to make as to how much more time they give him. if they give him too much time, it could be too late and ICT could unfortunately be playing first division football next year. as for the likes of black and cowie being out of contract in the summer? i think both brewster and the board are to blame. not a lot of effort seems to be coming from them to keep our top players who we need to avoid relegation. this could turn out to be a long season.

i have to say that on the radio on saturdays, robbo is very much for caley all the time. However, i do think it would be a backward step - look what happened when we took brewster back. Never wanted him back i say a managerial team of steven pressley and jim duffy
