Why is Brown inelligible: because he was out on loan? I did wonder why he had not been on the bench recently when we were short of subs.
-
Don't disagree with your inclusion of Boden. Horner has to sit this one out though. Hopefully Mckay will be fit. If he and Raven both miss out, who will play right back?
-
Great news. Now we need the team to kick on! Hooefully he beats the target of 10 goals too. That would be some achievement. My player of the season to date.
-
Very disappointing result, particularly as it sounds like we had most of the ball. Interested to hear the thoughts of those who were there. On a positive, Tremarco half way to winning his challenge to score 10. With Horner's red card, hopefully Mckay is fit for the St Johnstone game. At least we are in a pack of 7, but we really need a few good results. Here's hoping!

Charles, Other than that games between teams near the bottom are often described as that, if you want to get inside my head (a scary prospect for anyone!), it was simply that a defeat would leave us potentially down in 9th with an away game at St Johnstone to follow, with the risk that confidence suffers and, before we know it, we face the winter break in a bad place. I've been to all home games, apart from Celtic (good excuse as on holiday) and other than the Dundee game, we have never really been comfortable, and always a bit vulnerable. Plenty goals, which is great and we anticipated under Richie, but we can never be confident we won't concede. When we are positive and move the ball fast, we look very good, but too often we give the ball away cheaply and end up under pressure. That said, I'm fully behind Richie and the team, I admire his honesty and really believe that if we stay up this season, it will be onwards and upwards again! Perhaps that could even be this season.

Is his ban one game or two?
-
Just a thought, I always think we are playing King on the wrong wing, as it us not his natural foot.
-
I went with Doumbouya Fon Williams Tremarco
-
Don't think it was a 3-1 but we probably didn't deserve anything. I hate to say it, but Aberdeen seemed sharper, and we seldom made use of our pace, with little of note from the wide men. Fon Williams had a couple of good saves but other than Doumbouya's well taken goal, I'm struggling to recall an attempt on target. After a tough run of games, hopefully we can start picking points up again from the teams round about us and get more than two points clear if the bottom two p,aces. Dundee next week is a must win in my book. Hopefully Mckay is ok. Foran didn't think it was serious. The ref had a howler, and I'd like to see the fouls for the first two Aberdeen goals on tv, but they both seemed soft from where I was.
-
Fisher playing off Doumbouya sounds interesting. I suspect Cole will start. Front four could be Doran and King wide with Cole playing off Doumbouya. Other seven probably not in doubt: Fon Williams Mckay, Warren, Meekings, Tremarco Draper, Vigurs No Raven, so short of defensive cover tomorrow. Great news that Tremarco likely to sign for another year, whilst Fisher deserves his extension too.
-
Anything today would have been a bonus. Still sixth and County bottom. Hopefully the international break lets the injured players recover so we have a full squad to choose from against Aberdeen, although Tansey presumably will be suspended.
-
Must admit Doumbouya is growing on me, but pleased Fisher got the contract extension and I really like his work rate.
-
Checked the 2014/15 appearances on the Caley Thistle website and it records no starts and one sub appearance.
-
Sorry, stand corrected!
-
I went with Raven Doumbouya Doran but special mention for MacKay in his first league start. Couple of decent saves late on and hope the goals don't dent his confidence. One of the worst ref displays though! Hearts conned him into a lot of free kicks.
-
A very enjoyable game. We could and should have won, but equally we could have lost! Fon Williams was holding his side in the warm up, so not surprised that MacKay started. His kick outs were very good, but I just wondered if we defended deeper to try to protect him, and at times that got us into trouble. My only other criticism was a couple of times we had runners at set pieces which came to nothing as we steadfastly did not try to take any quickly. i hope Tremarco is ok, but credit Raven who did very well, and has probably not had a better finish. I thought the ref was poor, as Hearts were playing for decisions and Neilson was mouthing all afternoon (and outside his area shouting instructions). Doran back is great news, and hope he remains fit. Vigurs was clearly struggling for a while before he went off. So, disappointed not to win, relieved not to lose, but a very enjoyable afternoon. Celtic next week, then Aberdeen, so a tough run, but 14 points in the last 9 games (when County have only taken 4) is very encouraging! Well done all!
-
Media reports quoting Foran as saying Fisher will be offered a contract extension next week to tie him up until the summer. He is out tomorrow due to injury, along with Cole and possibly McKay. With King ineligible, doubt we will have 7 subs!
-
Anyone else spot the advert for John Hughes Electrical or Engineering (or something like that) on the highlights. I spotted it at the disallowed goal. 13 points from 8 games with only one defeat is a good run. Here's hoping for a result against Hearts on Saturday!
-
I'm with PerfICT on this one.
-
Not easy this week! Tremarco Fon Williams Doran
-
Mckay conceded the penalty according to BBC.
-
I try not to be critical, but that was a poor show, and I feel lucky that we salvaged a point. First half players seemed unsure as to what they were meant to be doing, and Polworth wide left did not work. I felt last week we should start Doran, Mulraney and Fisher, but Mulraney did not get much chance to make an impact, possibly as Killie's wide man was keeping Mckay busy. Fon Williams did OK. Of the back four, Mckay was poorer than I'd seen before, Tremarco was solid as always, Warren and Meekings coped ok although Meekings got an unnecessary booking (as did Polworth). Tansey and Vigurs were too close often, but both tried, albeit neither at their most effective. Draper not as big an influence as normal, and not happy at being subbed. I was in section D and there was a loud bang after he entered the dug out, but at least it didn't smash! For a large awkward guy, Doumbouya didn't win much in the air, but tried hard and got the goal we needed. I'd still like to see Fisher get a start. Doran lively, but missed a couple of chances. At least he had a go, as a couple of other players didn't shoot when shots were on. King and Boden tried when they came on. All in all, I will take the point and hope for a better performance against Motherwell and Hearts. To end on a positive, we are in the top six!

Assuming Meekings fit: Fon Williams Mckay Warren Meekings Tremarco Mulraney Tansey Polworth Draper Doran Fisher Failing that, Raven at right back with Mckay alongside Warren, keeping Doumbouya, Boden, Cole and King as impact options and MacKay, Horner (or Raven) and Vigurs also on bench. Just my view, happy to be shot down!!
-
Interesting. What about: Fon Williams McKay Warren Meekings Tremarco Tansey Draper Mulraney Fisher Boden Doran Although I would to retain Polly playing alongside Tans with Drapes pushing on, keeping Boden, King, Doumbouya and Cole as potential impact players.
-
That's a fair assessment!
