Top scorers
With just 1 or hopefully 3 games left, I had a look at our scoring charts, wondering how it would compare to our relegation season when our top scorer had just 5 (Rooney, from 10 starts). As with that season, we have clearly lacked a prolific striker - or at least we haven't gone with a line up and tactics that resulted in a player scoring a sack load. I think looking at only league games is the best measure, as all games are meaningful and against full time opposition. Based on this site's stats, we have: 6 Tansey and Fisher (from 8 starts!) 5 Doumbouya 4 Tremarco and Billy Mckay 3 Draper and Polworth Selected others - Boden 1, Anier So whose gonna end the season top of the list? Hopefully Anier!

SACK THE BOARD
To clarify, Dundee Utd's £1.5m loss was for 15/16, their relegation season. I suspect we will have made a loss of around £0.5m this season. That number is somewhat plucked from the air but we all know that to break even we need a high league position, cup runs, player windfalls etc and we've had none of those things this season. The only saving grace is that we must have saved a fortune in win bonuses!

Dundee v ICT (must win game)
We have now exceeded Dundee Utd's dismal points tally of 28 last season. Whilst we think Foran has done a bad job, and he has, they mentioned last night on Radio Scotland that if you construct a league table from when Cathro joined Hearts in early December, we would be bottom (obviously) but Hearts would be just a point ahead of us!

Cracking goal. But not for the first time, a simple header missed the target. Head shaped like a new pound coin!

Great bit of reverse psychology!

Dundee v ICT (must win game)
Foran said something interesting post-match (he usually does, but for the wrong reasons!) Said that we'd had a lot of injury problems this season and a couple of other player issues. Intriguing.

Dundee v ICT (must win game)
Great first half with chances at both ends. Second half we were just trying to keep it tight, and when we got a chance to attack we would just hold the ball up rather than try to play someone in. It worked, so we can't complain. Has to be said though that Dundee showed no urgency, it showed that they are safe. So the game just fizzled out, which suited us fine.

Our attackers were getting tired at that stage - but Fisher more than McKay. Fisher was finished, and Draper was out of fuel too, so it was time for something to change. But Anier? He came on and did nothing tonight. NOTHING. No pace, no workrate, no use.

Dundee could easily have scored a couple but for poor finishing. But that missed header by Fisher....

Dens Park - to go or not to go?
Thought we'd be dead and buried by now and hadn't previously given much consideration to the match v Dundee but the game could now be a very significant one, for better or for worse. Reasons NOT to go: 1. I witnessed us get relegated last time and it was a truly horrible experience that I don't want to repeat. 2. I have no faith in the team's ability to get a result. 3. I haven't enjoyed any of the games I've been to this season. 4. I don't bring the team any luck, in that we lost all the games I've been to this season. Reasons to go: 1. Could be one of a small group of fans to have witnessed ALL of our relegations! 2. The team needs our support. 3. We are ICT. Anything is possible. Verdict : As a fan you've got to take the rough with the smooth. Bring it on!

If Foran could learn from his mistakes he'd be a managerial genius by now.
