January transfer thread
I agree on extending Kennedy's loan, but he may have been brought in to cover for Doran being injured, and he's now fit Much as we'd like a more prolific goalscorer, I'm not sure where we'd found one for zero transfer fee and very low wages, unless it's the Highland league And arguably we have cover in every position, especially midfield...if McHattie, Duffy and Toshney are anywhere near fit, then the defence has back up too So expecting very little business if any

Caley losing capped off a ***** weekend, especially as I saw we were leading! Earlier my other team got properly stuffed by Liverpool 0-7, despite actually giving them a good game...the difference being the finishing! And of course at 4pm Boris cancelled Christmas, and had all three grown up daughters in tears over facetime. Still it could be worse, at least none of my family have had the Virus (so far), we all still have our jobs (so far) and it's not like we're facing 'The Blitz'. Back to the match..was this a case of Caley going into the match over-confident, and forgetting to do the basic stuff well? A bit of a blow, but the season is still young and we're 4 points off 2nd place, so no reason to think that a good play-off place is not an achieveable aspiration. Hopefully Carson will be back in the starting line up soon in the sort of from he was in last season.

A big surprise! Palace played really well in the second half, obviously helped by the sending off..but we are notoriously bad taking on 10 men! Maybe things are changing, lets eee what happens against Spurs this weekend.... It's always makes for a fab weekend when both my sides win, and win well. As for Caley, I find it incredible that Robbo can start another season with virtually a new side, put together on even less money and get them gelled and delivering good performances. A big shout out to Harper, who is doing a great job to the extent that I don't think we re missing Tremarco

Watched it on BBC Scotland with my wife, really enjoyed it. I said earlier in the season that with so many changes and injuries, the team needed a bit of time to gel, and they certainly look that way now. Who would have thought that a midfield two of MacGregor and Allardice would look so strong, and to think we have options of Welsh, Vincent and Carson (when fit) bodes well for the rest of the season. Defensively looking pretty good too, Harper is really impressing me, I think he made only one mistake, Deas is class and Devine is settling in. Brad did little wrong yesterday, but I'd like to see someone similar to Harper on the right in the long term. Robinson seems to have hit on a good format up front, Sutherland is a quietly effective player who seems to be rotating between right wing and further forward through the game with Storey and its working. I think Keatings is probably the cleverest of the lot, but his final goes awry sometimes. Kennedy really is a bonus for us this season, fair play to those who got him in and to the player himself, who works constantly. The key to our season maybe be whether we can extend his loan in January, as it also benefits us that Doran dosn't have to be used continuously (with his injury record). I think MOTM went deservedly to MacGregor, but he had a few guys on his coat tails especially Deas and Kennedy Have to say that I much prefer watching Caley at the moment, than my English team Palace, who have been coached into relentlessly boring and defensive football by Hodgson despite have some great offensive talent....I wonder how well Robbo would do down here!

I thought Brad looked very solid, and no hint of a mistake coming from Devine....Deas looks a very sound CB, and I have to say Harper really impressed me, as a full back who can actually defend.

It was a shame that so many people missed the first half in a unforgiveable manner, and they missed two attempts for Storey who hit the bar...I thought he played pretty well, seems to be a different player when he plays for us, although he can be a bit hit and miss. Keatings frustrates me a bit as he is capable of great stuff, but gives the ball away far too easily

Great result! Fully deserved that Lots of good performances....Macgregor and Allardice, the entire back 5, Kennedy and Storey Really enjoyed that, not quite as good as being there, but has given me a big boost

Mackay probably should have scored there!

I'm kind of surprised to see Sutherland playing so deep on the right...almost the 3rd midfielder

Almost a goal...was it over the line?

Pretty decent half for Caley there... Storey the busiest forward, the midfield duo of MacGregor and Allardice doing well to keep RR quiet. Harper is a decent full back. Kennedy impressiving, although not yet got the killer final ball. Defensively look solid so far..... Even seeing the cars pass by on the A9 behind is making me feel happy! (yes strange)
