My first away game since Dingwall and only the second since Guirgui. The Caley Sample Room for pre-match drinks anyone? 

Would really p Septic right off if game postponed. They are tucked up in comfort of the Kingsmills apartments right now, which are not cheap.

If still on though, getting back to our line up I would like to see the following:-

Fon Williams

Raven Warren Meekings Williams

Horner Draper Tansey Vigurs

Sho Silva Storey

Subs: Esson, Tremarco, Devine, Vincent, Wedderburn,Mutumbo & Polworth

What goes on during these breaks.........are we training too hard or not hard enough?????............. this happens so often.

My thoughts too. Same for last minute goals.

According to stats we only had one shot at goal as well. 

Changes for next week? 

Both clubs need to sort this out pdq. I'm travelling down on the Thursday before and need to know by then. Bring back LG.

Not sure if this has been noted elsewhere but according to Sky Sports News we have Crawley Town midfielder Conor Henderson on trial this week. 

I caught the very end of the STV item about 6.25pm on this tonight. As usual too much noise from others in the house to hear it all but I thought I heard we had signed him until the end of the season. Another midfielder though, even if an ex Arsenal Academy player to boot. Still looking for that elusive striker to replace Billy and a left back?

Quite extraordinary given what happened in the last two weeks. Well done guys. Hope the International break works to our advantage this time - getting players back from injury.

Where was Danny Williams today?

Interestingly MSN had a Matteo Bottegoni playing in midfield for us instead of Vigurs and credited him with the third goal too. 

Scrappy draw against a poor Dundee side who weren't really in it until the Raven tackle (not a penalty) on Greg Stewart.

Good to see Gary Warren back but most surprising as he isn't back in full training yet. Ryan Christie and Danny Williams were our best performers but had too many poor touches in the final third. It should have been Vincent or Polworth who got hooked instead of Williams as they were pretty ineffective in the second half. Vigurs looked out of sorts again and I don't know what Nat Wedderburn has to do to even get a sub appearance.

Poor crowd too and I can see a further nose dive in attendances if we keep this up.  

We got off on the wrong foot before the game started. We turned out in our all white kit the same as County in the warm up. Telling them to change their strip 5 minutes before kick off must have got them fired up even more. We then spent most of the game giving the ball away and making them look better than they are. Even the Gardyne gnome got too much respect tonight and punished us with a goal.

We really have few options with so many injuries and I fear we will continue in free-fall unless we get more players in. Even County keep signing players out of contract to add to their already large squad. We still haven't signed an out and out striker or a left back to replace McKay and Shinnie. Until we do this and more I fear continued performances like we have seen in the last three games and the gates will drop off. I don't think we have ever seen things this bad in terms of a depleted squad and more pressure will be heaped on the remaining fit players. If we were to lose Christie, Storey and Meekings to injury then we will be in even deeper sh#t.

It may have been 69% possession but that's no good when we barely get out of our own half. The performance today probably knocked 5-600 of our attendance on Tuesday. I heard lots of folk on the way out saying they will watch it on tv rather than waste £20. 

When I was down at the stadium buying LC tickets on Tuesday I was pleased to see Aaron Doran walking without the aid of crutches and looking a lot happier than when I saw him the night of the team photo. I hope is recovery is going well.

Was it Yogi who said recently that Gary Warren might be back in training next month? Any news on Richie Foran and Dean Brill, or have I missed this on another thread?   Also hoping to see Jordan Roberts and Tobi Sho Silva back fit and in contention.

Even the County fans I know that I spoke to after the game yesterday agreed that Storey was the big difference between the two teams. Easily my motm by Miles. 

Oh sh#t. Plenty of cards likely then. I'll need to spend more time in a pre-match hostelry to build myself up for that. 

Good to get the win. What's happened to Sho Silva though? 

Looking forward to a long overdue win against them.

Absolutely and looking forward to next week's game now.

Apart from the trips to Dingwall I generally combine my away match journeys with visits to friends and relatives. So I will take the car and often go early or stay overnight in the likes of Glasgow, Perth or Edinburgh. That said if I did happen to travel by bus I would go with CJT.

BBC highlights clearly show Tobi was punched - watch the slo-mo replay. Okay is wasn't a heavy blow but I can't blame him for going down after the rough handling he got as soon as he got on to the field of play when Rossi started pushing and elbowing him for no reason.

In terms of Tobi's direct play and putting himself about I think he is the sort of player we have been missing up front since Richie Foran got injured. This and the gutsy performance from many others last night gives me confidence that we can kick on from here and climb the league. Seven games in but welcome to the 2015/16 Scottish Premiership season!  

We need Richie to get more playing time so he'll be 100% match fit in time for the rough and tumble of the C***ty game and beyond.

Back to business, here's my selection for tomorrow night.

Fon Williams

Raven - Meekings (if fit) - Devine - Tremarco

Christie - Draper - Vigurs - Williams

Storey - Foran

Subs: Esson, Horner or Vincent (if fit), Brown, Tansey, Wedderburn, Sho Silva, Lopez or Ferguson

It's gonna be tough with all the talent they have. Dare I say I would settle for a draw but we need 3 points.

First few clips I watched looked like they were from a Sunday amateur game in the local park.

Agreed! Agreed. Now go get him Yogi!!

Robbie Muirhead to Partick on loan from the Arabs. Another one missed?

If we bank £500k + for Christie surely we can afford someone of renowned goalscoring ability or just sign that Moroccan guy from the Pars.

Michael Stewart didn't sit on the fence on Sportscene either. Talked about big decisions made by Collum being questionable in a lot of matches, not just Hearts' ones.

Just heard that confirmed from another source with close connection to the club.  

Early bird ST purchasers were promised they'd be in a mass photo with players. I never heard any more about that.

What injuries do Meekings, Foran, Doran and Vincent have? 

I suppose I might have to post these questions on the Ask the Club forum.
