Never was the quickest but looks to have lost a bit of pace despite looking physically better than previous years. I don't think he slows the play down far too often. Still only 27 and would love to see him get back to where he used to be.. the return of his goal scoring exploits v County would be a great start.

Will be very interesting to see whats next. Finance may have dictated not participating in the reserve league over last couple years but maybe now with a manager and board keen to promote youth with this current group coming of age they will be tempted to put a squad back in. Would be great to see more integrated into the first team squads earlier as we've had players in the past with ability but i struggle to see how you can expect players to make it when not playing 1st team football before 20 years of age. Exciting times but have to be managed correctly, the Youth Department did superbly getting them through and the development needs to keep on the same path.

5-1 win away to St Mirren today. X3 Roddy MacGregor other two Roddy Kennedy and Gabriel Hastings.

A good win v one of the project brave 'elite' clubs today.

Given neither Celtic or Rangers would be able to finance a Bolt contract lets not start on that one. CCM would recieve funding towards any deal by the FFA under the marquee signing funding and the owner personally has said will pay a minimum of 60% of his wage if he signs.

2-0 Win this evening against Dundee. Goals from Daniel Mackay and Roddy MacGregor.

3rd when it's flicked on too.

Given it was our 18s and their 20s you would have hoped that the seniors would have helped us edge the game however i think bar mccart it proved why they aren't starters.

The simple truth on that one is that when they are young they aren't paying for their tickets in most cases and when you get that bit older the appeal of going to games and paying if you are only in attendance for those reasons. Same thing happened between the ages of 13-17 with my friends used to have 20 odd at games and now your lucky to see any of them. I'm sure we will see them all at the County games again this season though.

A poor first half overall the team really struggle to transition from midfield into attack without having any players to really drive with the ball and beat a player. I don't think this has ever really been replaced since we lost Shinnie and Watkins. Walsh and Oakley changed it for us in the second half with Walsh offering more width we found far more space and actually got balls into the box for our center pairing. I thought White should have done better with some of his headers and needs to show more desire to get on the end of the crosses. In my opinion the 2 strikers starting each game is causing too many problems for us. We need to restore real width to the side, Calder on the left and Walsh on the right with Welsh + Chalmers or Trafford and Polworth in front of the two but he must be CENTRAL not wide in the park. Take your pick on strikers we don't have a 20 a season man and each of the 3 senior ones will all score 1 in every 3 games roughly throughout the season. It's the quality from midfield that will make or break our season. Had hoped to see Aaron Doran perform well last night but that's another game where I've struggled to remember any telling contribution. Really doesn't look the player he once was and i worry the club have made a big mistake backing him over these years.

Always amazes me that so many on hear always seem desperate to get players back that left us when given the chance before. Mutombo, williams, ross, storey etc all my honest opinion wouldnt improve our starting 11. Okay squad players maybe but none would command lower squad stage wages so its a no to all from me.

Liam Polworth tops the assist charts by 5 goals this season. Could he do more at times? Of course but so could this entire team. Has he found form just at the right time? Absolutely lets just all hope it's not to little to late. 1 Liam Polworth Inverness Caledonian Thistle 13 2 Ian McShane St Mirren 8 Lyndon Dykes Queen of the South 8 4 Ryan Williamson Dunfermline Athletic 7 Joshua Mullin Livingston 7 6 Raffaele De Vita Livingston 6 Kallum Higginbotham Dunfermline Athletic 6 Stephen Dobbie Queen of the South 6 9 Lewis Morgan St Mirren 5 10 Billy King Dundee United 4 Fraser Aird Dunfermline Athletic 4 Craig Sibbald Falkirk 4 Cameron Smith St Mirren 4 Iain Vigurs Inverness Caledonian Thistle 4

On the Donaldson booking you could put forward an argument regardless of the contact that due to the length Donaldson slid he had little control and could have been considered dangerous. I too thought it wasn't a foul but possibly how it was interpreted. The vigurs one without knowing what he said looks like typical poor refeering there has been an incident book both to avoid controversy. Although maybe vigurs talked himself into it.. he'd have been fine had he walked away.. or even not made a silly foul in the first place.

It's a no from me. One day people will get over this live in the past thing. Pretty much every time a former player leaves this happens. Not going to be a starter and that's what we need players to challenge for starting spots.

The frustrating thing is all these fans staying away until it's sorted out will only harm the likelihood of it all getting fixed. Our attendance have never been great but a 1000 less every week for home games on average is really going to hurt us. Things are bad but the club need 'fans' now more than they have in a long time.

A player who played a key role in our major cup win isn't a club legend? That's as good as it'll get for a long time if we aren't able to refer to those players as club legends then when can we?

Need to get stronger opposition for pre season judging trialists on games against forres, clach and nairn just isn't good enough. I'll admit thinking Chalmers looked tidy enough even after getting ran ragged first 45 against forres by a new signing from Inverness city.

Googles.. "How to delete someone else's thread"

Think you might have posted in the wrong topic. This relates to the Youth Cup and not related to the Brechin win.

Yes. Richard also coaches the 17s at the club.

Dan Hoban,Alistair Stark, Ryan Macritchie, Logan Johnstone, Cameron Harper (17s), Jack Brown (17s), Kieran Chalmers, Daniel Mackay (17s), Mitch Foy, Aidan Wilson, Keir Smith. Subs: Roddy Macgregor, Ryan Fyffe and Gabe Hastings all 17s. Goals im told were: Foy x2, Chalmers, Wilson, Smith and either Johnstone or macritchie for other. All subs used.

He was also the league's top scorer and the big difference between being a real relegation threatened side and ending up relatively safe. His importance to the team being clear with drapers less clear. If Vigurs is to fill the deep role centrally like he did rather successfully against Dundee United I'd like to see a more technical player available to us going forward who can beat a man and thread through balls. I'd be delighted if we managed to sign someone in that mould and keep Draper but financially something has to give whether it's Draper, Raven or OFW time will tell.

Sadly when we aren't far of being outnumbered by the away support for our opening home game of the season the boards hand could very well be forced in a financial sense. Whether that means some stay away or not time will tell. For all the talk of his importance to the team Draper for me doesn't contribute nearly enough with his overall game and severely limits the creative side of things for us. If his breaking up of play was quite as good as some would lead you to believe we would have conceded far less goals over the last 12 months.
