Gosh, this escalated quickly.

True, Also the escalator in markies moves with more urgency than our players!

Don't have a clue what you're on about, Trafford was an absolute clutz yesterday. All over the shop and not putting any balls right to the feet of the opposition.

To be honest Jack, very few players managed to pass to their own team mates yesterday!

Robertson is also meant to have said that he thought Storey had a good (not sure of the exact word used) game. Pretty surprised at that. He did nothing and struggled to break free of his marker. As Hislop has said taking Doran off was a strange one especially given that Storey was a lot less effective on the opposite side.

Robbo and his team seem to see things differently from most fans, He persists with Jordan 1/5 when the consensus is that maybe Todorov should get a run, Although he may see things during training that we don't see.

Also the complete lack of a plan B is a concern, there is no change of visible tactics to be noticed when we go a goal down!    

Also, there is no consistency to the team form, We just haven't a clue which team will turn up on game day

That was a feckin disgrace. Total rubbish from start to finish!    You would think Robbo and the coaches would have learned after the last two games against Arbroath what tactics would be an improvement. 

Alas no, feckin clueless, I used to the 1/5 Jordan was the Donkey, But I'm wrong we seem to have a team of them!

Jeckyll and Hyde appear on the scene , what team will appear next week.

Think we could start a thread ' The worst bits '   be quite a few from the last couple of seasons

Pretty hard to see past the 7-0 day out at Somerset Park. The whole day was fantastic, pre-match, match, sermon on the mount, Butcher controlling the fans with his arms like a puppeteer, the puppets waiting on his every command, like a sketch from Monty Python, post match, just everything about it.....apart from leaving my jacket in the away end.

If Carlesberg did away days with added panache; that's how they would do it!

And brown leather jackets!

We are now 13 points behind Utd.  We may be 2nd in the league but we also only 13 points above Morton in the relegation play off spot.  It's a very competitive league and with better resourced teams likely to strengthen in the January window, we  will do well to hang on to a play off place.

We need to be more clinical up front.  It's maybe a shame Nathan Austin left us.  He scored 4 for Kelty yesterday and I believe is averaging about 2 goals a game for them!

It's a very important game next week.  If Dundee Utd beat Ayr and Partick take something off Dundee, then a win against the Pars would see us with a wee bit of breathing space in second.  But if the results go the other way then the the fight for the play off places closes up quite a bit.

Jeez.. Austin was garbage for us, he's found his level.

We don't have a striker.  We can't afford to replace  1/5 Jordan.   That's the sad thing .

Can't believe jobby's lot beat us again!! 

Excellent win at a tough venue! Well done ICT    Just noticed in the highlights that big Jord took an elbow to the face from a defender as he set up Doran for his goal!  Not a word said by the ref.  What with the elbow Carl took right in front of ar5e linesman two weeks ago I'm wondering if this means the officials are more blind than normal? Or just feckin poor?

100% correct 

Sorted   

Well that was the proverbial backs to the wall performance, feckin awful to watch for most of the game.

Dundee had a huge amount of possession but didn't do a great deal with it, Don't think Ridgers had a proper save to make, only in the last 10 minutes or so did we wake up and get forward and put some pressure in the Dee defence, but once again we wasted a couple of chances.

Good to see Doran score as he's been off form recently, but he missed a glaring chance when one on one with the Dee keeper.

However 1 0 win, 3 points, clean sheet can not be sniffed at especially when we have been rank rotten for weeks.

Don't know what to make of Storey, he looked like he had a complete brain freeze when he was given the ball, he needs to play through the middle or do something different.  

Big Jord did some stuff right but faded big time second half and got subbed, Also good to see Rooney back on the pitch as Brad is still a bombscare.

Journalist Will Clark said this on Twitter

 

Genuine anger from @ictfc players and management at press conference after 3-0 defeat at @ArbroathFC Admitted they were second best on the park today. Spoke to Coll Donaldson who said no point saying they have the quality to turn it around. They have to get the results on pitch.......

  Heard it all before Coll...  

Home form takes a huge dip in form as per previous seasons, Alarm bells were ringing after the Partick game where we literally lay on our back with legs in the air! 

Looking like a team low on moral and confidence, Management team now have a huge job to turn this round starting on the potential banana skin of Clyde on Saturday.

They really need their Mojo back.

0-3 win on the road coming up

Almost right... 

Time for Robbo to depart I think.

Great bloke, who many years ago made my claim to fame happen, after playing football for Ardersier I was enjoying a beer in the Gun Lodge, I'd known David before and got chatting to him, he then introduced me to Ozzy Osbourne, who with his band were recording at Flemington in Dave's studio!  Played a couple of games of darts with the band then had to leave.  

Boys at work didn't believe me until Dave came in last year and verified it.

We have to wonder about the reaction from the players, Or are the management at fault ?  The Partick game was a nightmare, We have struggled badly with form ever since, what worries me is the lack of passion. 

After the Partick and the Alloa games where we lost goals i saw no signs of frustration or anything like the players were annoyed with themselves or each other.

I think i showed more passion and annoyance than the whole team! 

They looked like they couldn't give a f**k 

FFS  !!!!!!!   what the f**k      useless defence costs us again...

Curry scores !!!!

F**k    Whats happened to out defence these days!!!!! 

Once again Mccart cost us, Ridgers was screaming for the back pass, Mccart ****** about and eventually knocked the ball out for a throw.  The next 30 secs were feckin unreal.

But it was an awful performance from ICT, so slow and pedantic in building pressure on Alloa, It gave them so much to time get back and get organised in defence. 

McGregor needs to be on the back burner for a while, wee bit out of his depth today, Also don't know what's going on in defence but Coll and Mccart seem to be out of touch with each other.

Today was a game we need to win but didn't really look like winning, have gone back to our old ways of snatching draws from the jaws of a win...  it seems so.

Clyde at home.  No bad eh.
