We don't need another goalkeeper IMO. Well Esson should now focus more on coaching and he's still not the same goalie he use to be so we should be looking for an older one but still got playing time left in him.

What about Carlo Nash,he's leaving Norwich at the end of the season and be would be great to have on the bench

David Raven's one-yard screamer has to be a up there aswell

What game were you watching or are you yogis cousin lol I was at the Motherwell vs ICT match which match were you at Ayr v cowden Well there ya go, you didn't see the reactions of the players and how much they wanted it

I must say having watched the game again on ALBA after being at it last night i really feel our game in the second half improved a lot, you could see it in the players that they were wanting it so much they just we haven't quite perfected it yet but given time it should work out really well. What does frustrate me is we seem to do really well in one half but can't do it in the other half, look at last night first half we were very poor second half we dominated, then on saturday there against United first half we played brilliantly but second we just flopped, it was the same circumstances against celtic, i'm not sure why we can only play really well one half then awful the other but it's still good we are creating these chances we just need to try and do it through-out the whole math not just one half. Last night the stats don't lie we had more shots than motherwell, more possession and more corners just we didn't have that finishing touch we are missing cause Billy is on top form right now.

I don't think we have the money or the time to do what Andy did for Nicky sadly Time or money? Nick is in training everyday and most of it is using good resistance based training and good nutrition planning. It's not like a magic formula that you need millions to be privvy to. Yes we maybe can't afford top sports dieticians or personal training teams, but most of the concepts are the same. They don't have a secret magic formula. Yes he's in scotland to do this sort of thing you need to go to a hot country

I don't think we have the money or the time to do what Andy did for Nicky sadly

Ok it's that time of the year again when the season is drawing to a close we have to endure a long 3 months till the new season starts again apart from the pre season friendlies. So who does everyone want in pre-season we already have Elgin confirmed on the 12th of July through there. Of course we will probably have the typical Clach and other Highland League friendlies but who else could we get and can we get any "glamour" friendlies at home.

What game were you watching or are you yogis cousin lol I was at the Motherwell vs ICT match which match were you at

First half we, well we payed the price for giving away a sloppy penalty and we were in the back foot for the rest of the first half but in the second it was like a whole different match we dominated then all over the pitch and Willie Gollum actually gave us some 50-50's. If anyone thinks we deserve to lose or blames someone for the lose they you are talking out your arses cause it was not Yogi who scored the OG or give away a bad penalty. Give it up after pre-season all the Yogi Outer's will be gone cause we will be winning

The season is not over till 15:00 on Sunday, we can still go up a place in the league which is a hell of a lot of money for a club like our's. Also winning these matches might get people to start coming to our games next season

They are losing their top striker in the summer.......

I would say Swansea City, the way we play is very close to the way Swansea play, also their current manager is is a club legend going from player to captain to manager which i can see Richie doing. Both ICT Swansea have a great relationship with their community with the Jack Army and the players doing a lot of fund raising for local charity's

RIP Elena

But first half was sensational though

Dare to dream europe

This is the win % of each team so far this season just to show that 65% is a very unrealistic target when only one team managed to make it too that Aberdeen - 54% Celtic - 82% Dundee U - 45% Hearts - 25% Hibs - 22% ICT - 42% Killie - 25% Motherwell - 54% Partick - 20% Ross County - 25% St Johnston - 42% St Mirren - 25% Rounded down to the nearest whole %

It's ok once we win tomorrow everyone will be happy

The season is nearly over

As mentioned in the thread, we only needed seven points. Hardly a triumph in that case. Are you also not worried that when he took over, we were second and going strong but have now plummeted to fifth, with sixth looking a real possibility. Hughes's points ratio since he came is 22 points in 22 games. That's relegation form. If it was so easy, we didn't we do it? He also won one match, on penalties, against what must be the worst Hearts side in decades and we even nearly bottled that. Only Draper and Vincent have re-signed under Hughes, hardly "all our players" as you call it. Most contract renewals are dealt with by the chairman as well. The points ratio under Butcher was much better than Hughes. As mentioned previously, Hughes has 22 points in 22 games. That's relegation form. Brilliant? He's been good, but he's not been fantastic. The points do not show how "Hughes has helped us" at all. I don't understand the point you're making about Aberdeen, Hughes has only beaten them once and Ross County are garbage. The fact they're our rivals shouldn't matter. Why should we just be happy for a bonus? Why does the team need adapted, when it was going strong when he took over? Isn't pre-season the time to change tactics. Doing it mid-season is absolutely ridiculous and not working. Latapy was a superb player, Hughes was a good player, but no world beater, but that has nothing to do with it. Also, there previous records are not good at all. Latapy was sacked by the Trinidad and Tobago FA and failed to get them to the Gold Cup. Hughes failed everywhere but Falkirk and even then it wasn't exactly fantastic, they were almost relegated, bottled the cup final with the general consensus being that he would have been sacked had they not gotten there. It's also interesting that their fans don't seem to rate him at all, despite being this "success" that everyone goes on about. Hughes first became a manager 11 years ago. He's done essentially nothing in that time. Oh and for the record, I've only missed one match since Hughes took over. Our team has had many bad injury's and suspensions to deal with which TB never did that's why his points per game is much better. We started off in the semi final by playing with TB's tactics but when the game was going sour it was Yogi Time and he stepped up to the mark and triumphed. The reason we didn't win the final was cause none of our players had ever dealt with crowds like that before so when it came to penalty's they got nervous simple also aberdeen set up for the draw cause they knew they could on penalty's. Fine then but if you look at how crucial draper is to our cause then you must agree with me that keeping him will be crucial in our push for europe next season. Points wise yes TB's may be better per game but he named the same starting XI for 7/8 games in a row so of course they would be doing well Tansey even though he only came in January he's been one of better players through-out the season I'm trying to show how far we have come in such a short space of time and how much further we can go if we just trust the man in charge, on the subject of county anything can happen in a derby and if you say they are garbage how did they beat us on new year's When teams go through a transitional stage when they are use to playing a certain way sometimes it doesn't work this time it doesn't but the players are all for it which is great cause it shows they are fully behind Hughes and so should we. You're right i mean Hughes getting Hibs Europe is nothing what so ever, also Hartlepool fans are very grateful for him to try and attempt to save them, they were dead and buried but he came in and nearly saved them from relegation. I'm just pointing out that you will find fans who don't even go to games have an opinion on them even though they were not there only because they are pro yogi out

Really??? You think we are in the top six because of what Hughes has done? Of course I am not blaming Tansey for our poor form but we haven't been exactly brilliant since he came back. And finally you are away of the mark if you think my concern about the management is down to "one bad result" Well the stats above like ICTRoughi posted show he got more points so yeah i do feel it was Hughes that got us Top 6. Well he did only score that peach in the semi final and set up quite a few goals since coming not as if that's a big deal in football scoring goals like. Still he needs time to adapt the players into his way of playing so why are judging him before we gets a proper chance to put forward his methods. What do you think we should do then????

John "Yogi" Hughes should NOT be sacked for a number of REASONS He got us top 6 and before you say it was secured with butcher it wasn't cause he was only in charge for about 12 games He got us to a final where we so easily could have beaten the sheep in it He has kept all our players at the club and the only way they will be leaving is for money which is great business on his part He is on course to set a new points record for us He has two wins in Dingwall where as Judas has none (in the league) Judas only got us 22 points so who must have gotten us the 31 points? He made a brilliant signing in Greg Tansey for free which has helped us massively in our matches All these points show how much Hughes has helped us so i don't see why you all want rid of him i mean sure we are going through a bad stage right now but really we have just been spoilt over the last two seasons in what we have achieved so obviously as soon as we start to lose it looks really bad but look back a few seasons ago at how bad we were, no wins against aberdeen now we are winning. No wins in dingwall in the league for yonks and it's Hughes who changes that twice not butcher Hughes. He is also still trying to adapt the team so right now anything we get in matches is a bonus cause he is still trying to get his methods over to the team. Give the man some time him and Latapy were superb players and have done not too bad as managers we just need to show that we support them and not turn our backs on them after one bad defeat. If you aren't going to give him your support then that's fine but there is no need to say how bad he is constantly when you don't even go to the matches In John "yogi" Hughes I Trust

After seeing the total football that we have been playing in the last few weeks and how celtic played against Motherwell i feel if we play wingers then we should have a chance of taking all 3 points from the game. Problem for tomorrow is Raven has got a thigh injury from training which could rule him out so we might have to play shinnie at RB. Brill Raven* Meekings Warren Tremarco Draper Tansey Christie Doran Watkins Mckay Bench: Esson, Devine, Shinnie, Polworth, Vincent, Pepper, Evans *If Raven is injured put Shinnie at RB and Williams on the bench
