Going by the highlights, we had many more chances : most are right in front of goal where the player should at least hit the target / test the keeper. Too many draws will cost us : along with strikers who are pretty ineffectual. Even if we sneak into the play offs, can't see this lot lasting long. What with being a long time Spurs supporter, it's been a bummer of a weekend.

Good win : need to get a few more and then who knows? County in drivng seat so if we can win on Saturday the race is, in my opinion, wide open.

Totally agree : the speed at which we fell (and there's no realistic sign of it improving any time soon) is a disgrace. Not sure who is to blame, but we have come from a solid top league team (and worthy cup winners) to a mid table Championship team going nowhere fast.

Great to see a win at last but reading the reports doesn't sound like a great team performance. At least we are back in the top 4 but a bit of a gap to Ayr who seem pretty strong. The Arabs are also beginning to get their act together. We really need to step up a couple of gears and stringing a few wins together (including the upcoming match at Somerset Park).

Sorry : didn't look far enough down the topic list. Thought we might be getting near a record. As someone else said, a lot of these draws have been against teams we really should be beating : don't want to end up playing catch up as we did last year eventually running out of matches.

Seven draws in a row in senior football : has to be some sort of record (for ICT or any other club)?

As ICT progressed through the divisions, no matter the opposition you always felt they were capable of scoring and a match for anyone. Same when they reached the SPL. Admittedly I haven't seen a lot of matches over the last few seasons but watching them now is a bit depressing. No stand out players and little quality. Perhaps it's a commentary on Scottish football in general?

Rather depressing overall. Ayr and County have opened up a gap at the top and by the sounds of it, the Arabs are getting their act together under their new boss. Two goals In the last five matches says it all. It has been clear from day one that our attackers lack finishing ability. Today although Alloa looked slicker than us a lot of the time, we had a handful of decent chances but lacked the composure / ability to take them. Need to go up about three gears to have any chance of a play off place.

Much more like it : my youngest son was there. He said we were well worth the win on the 2nd half performance. Everyone seems to be picking up points from each other, so keep scoring the goals and we can win the league. Defence seems relatively solid.

Watched the highlights the other night : should have hit double figures. I realise they are only highlights but so many chances to win 4 or 5 matches. No point in dominating matches if you can't finish the job

All sounds depressingly familiar : too often we are on top and fail to finish teams off. Two league games in row where we had a one man advantage at home and failed to finish off the job (including missed penalty!). We should have 9 points and not 5. Blindingly obvious that our main problems are up front (not to excuse defensive blunders). With all teams taking points off each other, even at this early stage of the season, there is no stand out team (same last season with the exception of St Mirren), so get our act together and there is no reason we can't win the league (wishful thinking perhaps).

Agree 100% with the sentiment. The signs this early don't inspire confidence.

Worrying that we can't beat a team who played the majority of the match with 10 men. One goal in 180 minutes doesn't bode well : it was clear from last week's evidence (match should have been over by half time) that we are not sharp enough up front. Defence seems capable enough so it's pretty clear where most of the attention needs to go.

Sorry??

Agreed : should have avoided a bit of a nervy finish. First match for me this season : overall looked a much better footballing team than the matches I saw last season. Need to be more clinical when we are on top : anything other than a win would have been a total travesty. No reason we can't win this league. Three points next week!

I always feel we should play stronger teams pre season. Invariably ICT do a Highland tour : other teams are playing teams a few levels above the HL (no disrespect). Surely puts us at a wee bit of a disadvantage and perhaps contributes to our far too often slow start?

Potentially a very competitive Championship : ICT, Arabs, Thistle, County, Dunfermline and Falkirk : all desperate to return to the top league (not discounting the others given Livi's back to back promotions). As others have said, essential we get off to a strong start and are not left playing catch up again which cost us dearly this season.

To summarise, as a team over the last couple of months we've regained a lot of pride. Very much looking forward to next season.

Well done to Robbo and the team for a great run in : just ran out of matches as I suspected would be the case (I know about last week but we should have been comfortably in the play offs long before then). Hope most of team are retained with the addition of a couple of new faces and we can carry on where we left off in August(?). Really enjoyed the cup win : great to experience that winning feeling again. Here's to another trophy in a year's time!

All we could hope for : win on Saturday and hope for a minor miracle at East End Park. If we were to make it, our momentum is by far the best of the contenders. What a difference in a couple of months. Lots of things crossed between now and 4.50pm on Saturday......................

Ha ha ha.................Spurs are just far too inconsistent : at their best when they play with a fast tempo. Onwards and upwards next season.....................

Let's pray for 2 wins and for Dunfermline to crumble against Dumbarton. Failing that unlikely scenario, let's be positive and look forward to 18/19 with positivity and a return the top division. I am also a long time Spurs fan, so it hasn't been the best of weekends.........................

Water under the bridge I guess. As I have said before, apart from St Mirren, none of the other teams are any great shakes. We should have been comfortably in the play off positions long before our late late run. Hope we get our act together over the close season in preparation for a title winning season...................

Yup saw ICT rise from 3rd Division as it was to the SPL (as it was). Suspect the teams of the late 1990s / early 2000s would have thrashed the current team. No matter who the opposition were, you always felt the team had goals in them.

Agree with all of the above : a good win on Saturday and I'll be at Livi next Tuesday!!
