My team would be: Fon Williams Raven Meekings Tremarco Williams Devine Polworth Vincent Tansey Christie Sutherland

Do we know for certain that Yogi wasn't granted permission to speak to United? The press seemed to think he was just before Mixu got appointed.

As long as you are prepared for life in the lower leagues!!! I don't fancy us becoming The Caley Thistle anytime soon. End of the day, we need to be wise with our finances cause if we spend unnecessarily we're going to be in the lower leagues. It's up to Yogi to use the money available effectively and if he can't do that then somebody else will. I understand that the injuries are not ideal at the moment however I feel that the players that we are playing are good enough to play as well as the team of last season. It's Yogi job to get the confidence and motivation in the team which I do think is still there. The only problem with the current situation at the monent and Paul Irving got the nail on the head with this one is that there is an unhealthy obsession with possession football. Yogi has the control to change that and find an alternative and just maybe the sticky patch would start getting better - that's why I didn't like that particular comment from the interview.

100% Agree

I don't think giving Yogi extra money is the best outcome from this unless it's financially viable for us to do so. We need to live within our means etc.

I don't like his comment saying that he has no control or influence over our bad form. We might as well call it a day then if our manager can't influence the squad.

That wee guy McRae looks a prospect.

Haha! Sorry, Person! I just don't want to see us become the type of club that jumps on the "Manager Out" bandwagon when things don't go our way. Personally I feel Hughes has us playing (trying to at present) a brand of football that I don't mind paying to watch, and for that he must be applauded, even with the poor results you can see he is trying to stick to the philosophy of playing good football, but with injuries, players out of position it makes this difficult and mistakes are going to happen and unfortunately we are going through a wee rough patch, but I have faith we will get through it and return to winning ways. We really missed Draper last night, he would have marshalled Irvine out the game. The only thing I would have changed however would have been Williams on from the start, he's a real dynamic player and gave us a real injection when he came on. I agree with this as calls for Yogi to be sacked or resign is a bit premature however if form continues into next month then serious questions needs to be answered. I really liked last season's style of play because it was slick, fast paced and exciting compared to last night it was rigid, slow, and unimaginative. I understand that we lost a good calibre of players but the players we have still at the club are very capable of reaching the same heights as last season. The thing that annoyed me last night was that we just sat and took Ross County's pressure and nothing was coming from the management to rectify that. The game sparked into life when Danny Williams and Ali Sutherland came on in the last 15 minutes, why didn't they start the game? I thought that missing Ross Draper was sticking out like a sore thumb but we had Nat Wedderburn on the bench with the same physical attributes as Draper, why wasn't he used? It's just a very frustrating time at the moment and hopefully the changes happen in time for Saturday. Completely agree questions need to be asked if it continues.... the only thing that concerns me about Hughes at present would be that he has lost the dressing room, there wasn't really too much fight and desire shown by the lads last night and that would be one area of concern, but again that can stem from a lack of confidence and belief in yourself rather than from Hughes. I've not seen a great deal of Wedderburn.... but when I have he's been an absolute bombscare on the ball, he would give that physical presence yes, but completely goes against the grain in terms of how Hughes wants the team to play, he would have been perfect in a Butcher side so I'm not slanting the guys for being a poor player, just I don't see how he fits in this squad as a get the ball down and play squad. I'm gonna get pelters for this..... but I think Lopez, given time and a bit of confidence, could be a player for us up top, we need someone that can hold the play up to allow others to get in and support and he has the physical presence to do that.... and in my opinion he has one of the best first touches in the team. I think him and Storey could be lethal together with Storey running in the holes and Lopez directing traffic per say. I thought Wedderburn held his own against Astra especially coming up from Cowdenbeath. I agree the following game against Motherwell he wasn't great but for a short term answer, he's a better option than playing Vigurs deep.

3-1 ICT MacRae

Currently beating Motherwell 2-0 at Grant Street Park. Jaime Wilson and Stephen Rennie with the goals. EDIT: 2-1 now, Motherwell get one back.

I collected my ticket from the ticket office last night and Jason Brown was the one who served me. I know we are multi-tasking club but there's something not right about that. Other teams like Dundee United, Motherwell and Hamilton etc always use their U20. If the reason we refuse to use them because of bonuses then we should look at the bigger picture, the experience could easily aid their development.

Just back from the game and that was a brutal watch for 75 mins. Yogi said after Saturday that we lacked creativity up front, did we address that? - No. Yet again we pissed about with ball and done nothing with it. Tonight I noticed that we gifted county a lot of time and space with the ball and if County were more resilient, it would have been a cricket score. I thought our passing tonight was abysmal, the passing has been nowhere near as good since Latapy left the club. I understand that our injury list isn't great but IMO the team that was set out tonight was strong enough to win, if we are hiding behind the injury excuse then that's an embarrassment in itself. I'm not really arsed that we were put out of the cup,it's more the manner of our exit that gets me. Questions need to be asked of management IMO.

This is my main concern right now with the whole situation. In the hypothetical scenario that our form continues to deteriorate like it has the past 2 weeks and (IF) Yogi is not committed to the cause then I am not so sure he is the right man to help get us through it. I'd like to hope the board would have a backbone to cut their loses before we'd find ourselves in a relegation dogfight. I personally haven't seen the STV interview that other fans have been talking about but it could be a smokescreen to try and negotiate with the board with more money on the transfer front but I am in two minds whether we should agree to that. Absolutely, Fon Williams has been a great signing for us this season as has in previous seasons bringing back Greg Tansey to the club and Eddie Ofere in as well. I would like to credit John Hughes on the loan signing of Miles Storey but Yogi admitted that he was a Kenny Cameron signing which gives me a little bit less faith in his transfer dealings. If he wanted more money this season, he shouldn't have pissed it away getting in mediocre players like Lopez, Mutombo etc. I really like Yogi being our manager and what he has achieved at Caley Thistle but if he doesn't want to be here then I hope the board are quick to act and resolve the issue before it's too late.

**** poor. We were toothless up front today, lack of creativity. St Johnstone deserved that win today unfortunately.

That's gutting to hear she was made redundant. I reckon we should get a rid of Dani Lopez and re-sign Laura on a 3 year deal

Sounds like it was a bad day at the office. We move on and hopefully get the momentum back against St Johnstone next weekend.

If he was heading to Dundee for talks, he wouldn't have been at the development game tonight IMO. It's going to be Mixu by the sounds of it.

Looks like Mixu will be their next manager.
