We deserve a bonus 10! I went with Vigurs Draper Warren but the other 8 starters were unlucky not to get points too!

Sorry about the late post but been working flat out. Luckily I was in Perth on Wednesday and Thursday so a nervous journey along the A90 turned in to the best away day I've had since the 3-0 at Dingwall last season. The fans were fantastic from well before kick off, probably the most vocal and supportive other than the cup semis and finals, even giving Foran support when he came out. Even before Mckay's early goal, he was unlucky a charge down just went wide, and to get a quick second was brilliant. The team then kept their composure, created a number of decent chances, and kept possession better than in recent times. For my money, the best 90 minute performance I have witnessed this season. Esson was steady, Mckay did well at right back, with Raven very good at left back, also adding cover to Warren and Laing at times. Warren and Laing bossed central defence. In midfield, Vigurs was immense, perhaps a bit lucky to just be booked, but had composure, urgency and passion. Draper was back to his old self. Tansey was up for it. Polworth had some good moments, whilst also covering Raven regularly. Fisher worked hard and took his goal well, but was out on his feet by the time he was subbed. Mckay took his goal well, pressed the Dundee defence and was probably also tiring when subbed. I thought Anier worked hard and put himself about, but he is not Mckay class, whilst McNaughton and McCart were put on to ensure we kept out Dundee late on. The players were all up for it, the crowd was fantastic. We need the same team and a large noisy support tomorrow. It's still a long shot, but at least we have a chance, however remote. Its my wife's birthday tomorrow and I was originally not going. She is now having lunch with her sister and I am now going. Wednesday was a great night, can we do the impossible? I don't know, but I will be backing the guys 100% regardless of what happens. If it does not go our way tomorrow, let's give the players a long standing ovation at the end. If many leave, they leave us memories of several seasons none of us dared dream about. Two finals, one cup win, three top six finishes, a trip to Europe. They deserve our appreciation! Come on Caley Thistle!!

A sad day. After eight years living in England and getting to as many games as I could, tbis is my first full season as a season ticket holder for some time. What a year I picked! I've been at all home games except the two against Celtic (holiday and work prevented these) and to a few away ones. I don't think we are worse than many of the other teams, but we've lacked a consistent plan and line up. It is hard to pick consistent performers, apart from Tremarco and, perhaps, Draper. We know our strengths (Draper and Tansey bossing midfield) but too often did not build the team around that. Bringing Billy back should have saved the season, but the service he has had has been limited. I don't understand why Fisher was frozen out. He is a grafter, and while his finishing is hit and miss, I like his attitude. Others have failed to perform, or let their heads drop when times have been tough, and decisions have gone against us, but we have a squad that should have been mid-table. Since the St Johnstone game I have been resigned to our fate, and the loss today probably makes it inevitable. To hear that we only performed when 2-0 down says if all. I will miss only my third home game next weekend due to family commitments. What I would give for a miracle and a home play off game on the 28th, but I just can't see it. I will be renewing my season ticket, as I love the club and football, but I fear the worst next season, and just hope we can build a competitive squad that can get us back up. After two cup finals, two great days out at Hampden, bossing the derbies, a European adventure, albeit brief, this is tough to take, but we must still get behind the team for the last two games and hope for a miracle. Lets just hope we can bounce back and get more great memories. Yes, we have punched above our weight, and it was great, but we should be a Premiership club.

I think I heard north stand, section j, seat 172 but may be wrong. I didn't win!

We did have seven subs: Hoban, McNaughton, McCart, Horner, King, Cole and Boden. Interesting watching them at half time: McCart was doing a serious warm up with the others having a kick about. Not sure if that is a McCart thing or what he has been taught at Celtic.

Anyone know what caused the argument between Esson and Tansey? Where I was, I thnk I heard Edson should that something Tansey did could have caused a f...in broken ankle. Any ideas?

I agree: Tansey, made one and scored one Draper: commitment and passion, bossing the midfield Warren: a captain's performance. Bossed at the back.

Really enjoyed he first half. With the decent chances missed, it could have been 6-1 at the break. It's a long time since we dreated so many 'must score" chances, how did we miss them all? I think nerves kicked second half and we sat too deep, but who cares: we won and it's been a long time coming! I'm an optimist, but still doubt we will stay up. If we beat Killie, we need a draw in the Lanarkshire derby next week. If we don't win, I think a Hamilton win is best to give us a chance of 11th. Time will tell! On the park, Laing and Warren did fine, Draper and Tansey were solid. Anier had his best game, whereas Fisher was not as potent as we have seen him. We won, we need d that, bug I got home feeling we still have too much to do. I hope I'm wrong!

Whatever league we are in, let's get Fisher signed up! I've always liked his energy, and backed him in the "Walrus v Fish" debates that seem a lifetime ago. Even as a stand in right back, he was up for it. We need more like him!

I'd play King ahead of Cole but otherwise I don't disagree.

Just checked the stats, Boyce has scored 9 against us this season. Jf only we had someone who could have scored 20 plus, who knows? That said, maybe we have, but with such poor service, it never happened.

That was a sore one, but sums up our season. I thought we started ok, but the comedic first goal was a disaster that kicked the stuffing out of the team and drained all confidence. From then, there was only one team in it, and credit to Boyce for the second. Raven was culpable at the third and Polworth at the fourth, so three gifts to our rivals. Apparently Mulraney was lucky a head butt wasn't seen, but if the TV showed it, presumably he will be punished. I try to be positive, but can't be tonight. It is hard to see how we can get to 11th now. Three big games in the last few weeks, no points and 11 goals conceded, and three red cards! I will be there next Saturday, possibly my last home game in the top flight for some time, as I can't get to the game on the 20th. Next week really is a "must win". I just hope Hamilton and Dundee lose tomorrow to give me a straw to clutch at!

One of the hardest to complete ever! Struggled to get three to include but I went with McNaughton Fisher Vigurs But perm 3 from 14 and get shot down. A very depressing night!

No offence taken at all! I just want us to stay up!

I agree, but we need to do all we can to stay up. At least we can then regroup for next season.

I see Marley Watkins scored for Barnsley today (and got booked). How we could do with his pace today!!

Assuming no changes to the injury list, a 4-4-2 for me: Fon Williams McNaughton, Laing, McCart, Tremarco Polworth, Draper, Tansey, King Mckay, Fisher with Esson, Mckay, Horner, Mulraney, Ebbe, Anier and Boden on the bench.

Fair assessment. Felt sorry for Laing as he was good first half but had to improvise when covering other positions after McNaughton was subbed. I want to see more from Polworth. He has the ability but we need the drive and passion when times are tough. I would stick with Mckay and Fisher. Perhaps start King with Cole out next week and adopt a flat back four.

I know we are all down tonight and being rightly critical, but at risk of being shot down, now is the time the players need us as their 12th man. For all of us, let's get behind them in the next six games and do all we can to salvage our season and keep our top league status. If we can achieve that, we can then debate who our Manager and players should be, but for now we have what we have and need to do our bit in our bid to survive. Recent years have been good, despite the agony of the penalty kick loss at Parkhead in the League Cup. I will never forget the cup semi at Hampden, and us all joining in with the chants of "stand up for the Caley Jags". Now, more than ever, we need that spirit and support, not just in Section E but in the full stadium. Then there was the cup final.... My best ever day as a fan..... The best hangover excuse ever. Europe was brief and I only managed the home game, but an experience for a small club like us. It all seems a lifetime ago, so much has changed in less than two years, but let's make our support count where if matters: at the games by being loud, positive and behind the players. We need to play our part. It's now or, I dread to think, possibly never!

For what it's worth, I went with McNaughton McCart Mckay and King was my next best.

SPFL website says the fixtures will be published this week. Presumably our home games will be matches 2 and 4, which means the last home game will be a midweek game. I really hope we get County first up, would have to go there and get relegated!

I agree with most of that. First half pretty even and going in 1-0 down a bit harsh. Would like to see the goal again. We created a few chances and should have done better with a couple, particularly a couple of Cole efforts, a Fisher header and possibly Tremarco's shot. Mckay unlucky to see a great block of one effort, and a couple of opportunities nearly fell to Tansey. Cole was a disappointment and I would have subbed him rather than Draper. His sending off was unnecessary. I don't think it was a foul but he should have kept his mouth shut. The last eight minutes were then a disaster. The penalty looked harsh and after that I think we were a 2-4-3 so the inevitable happened and it could easily have been 4 or 5. McNaughton burst a gut and presumably ran out of steam. McCart unlucky to be sacrificed. Mckay worked hard. King tried hard when he came on. Not much to say for the others, and unlike some I was not impressed by Polworth. Then to find Warren got sent off in the tunnel.... For the first time this season, I am struggling to see a way of staying up. We must get a result at Motherwell, but the rub of the green is against us. Hopefully that changes, we are due one! As for the ref, one of the worst displays I have seen in a long time, but we can't hide from the fact we are the cause of our own position. The booing was disappointing at both half time and full time, that can't help the players, even if some of them were poor.

Sorry, saw 0-0 on the SPFL website just before I made my post. Presumably they were very slow in uploading the score!

0-0 draw at Dunfermline today. Just hope we are not playing them in the Championship next season....

Second worst away record in the league and 5 of our remaining 8 games are away from home. I'm an optimist, but......
