I'd like to see Fisher start on Saturday.
-
And despite the defeat, up a place this weekend and above County!
-
After pressing and chasing everything at the start, we gave Rangers too much space and time and I felt we were lucky to just be one down at the break. Second half much better and we could have won a point with better finishing. That said, the best team on the night won, and whilst the referee was poor, that did not change the outcome. Fon Williams did well, but perhaps more varied distribution would have helped, rather than aiming for Doumbouya. Raven did ok in my eyes, Tremarco is becoming consistently good, Warren and Mckay had their moments but stuck to the task despite being booked. Polworth out of position is not working, and disappointed in Vigurs. Tansey played some decent balls but not influential enough on the whole. King has his moments, but may be better as an impact player coming off the bench or playing on the right. Draper good again, but I was right in line with his challenge late on and he was lucky not to be sent off. Rangers neutralised Doumbouya and I'd have but Fisher on earlier. Both had horror headers though! Doran and Mulraney lively and deserve a start. Next week I'd start Doran, Mulraney and Fisher, in place of King, Vigurs and Doumbouya. A lot to be positive about though, and hopefully three points against Killie!

Fon Williams Draper Tremarco
-
The key will be making their full backs concentrate on defending as they can be potent going forward. We need to pick the team for the match. If Doran match fit, I would start him, but otherwise I agree with bdu98196 on the starting 11.
-
Based on the radio, I'll take that point! Phew! 5 unbeaten though, and we can argue we are now effectively joint sixth!
-
Tough one, but: Mckay Doumbouya Mulraney for me!
-
Comfortable win, but sat back a bit after second goal. I felt at half time we needed a third, and it was a good counter attacking goal. Fon Williams had a couple of saves, but on the whole the defence was ok. First sighting of Mckay and felt he did well. Just a pity Dundee scored to defy a clean sheet. Mulraney's pace evident, and King lively at times too. After second, Draper dropped deeper alongside Tansey with Polly playing further up supporting Doumbouya. The ref seemed to have an issue with Doumbouya's physicality but he took his goal well, as did Polly. Want to see the penalty on tv, as it might have been soft, or I possibly missed part of it. All three subs were lively, and Doran cannot be far from a starting place. I liked the look of Cole in his brief cameo appearance. All in all, a satisfying afternoon and up to 8th. Hopefully a win next week takes us further away from the foot of the table, but after the last two games I have been to (St Johnstone and today), I am a lot more positive about how things are shaping up.

I missed the game today as on holiday at present, but sounds like the guys dug deep, rode their luck, were even a bit unlucky with the ref, and won a point few of us expected. With last week's result, things are hopefully looking a lot more promising than a couple of weeks ago, and next week's game may be key to how the season shapes up. After recent criticism, glad Fon Williams played a key role. Of our strikers, I'd be inclined to start with Fisher given his work rate, and then switch to Doumbaye or Boden after an hour or so of him making the defenders work. Onwards and (hopefully) upwards!

All I can say is that there has always been a decent attendance on the occasions I have been.
-
I've been a few times, and always very well treated. I was at County for the Derby in the spring and it was not a patch on what you get at Inverness. Credit to Iain Auld and all involved, who make the attendees very welcome. If you get a chance, go along and it will be a great day.
-
A welcome point, and hopefully things are looking up. Next week's game is irrelevant in the scheme of things, it is Dundee on the 24th that matters. Quite tight still in the league, and the last two games have shown that we are more than capable of getting a mid table finish. Good to hear McKay did well and Meekings was alongside Warren still. Draper is our key man, but can anyone who was at the game advise how Tansey and Poleorth did today? If Vigurs keeps scoring I'm all for him continuing to start! No sign of Cole though, short of match fitness?
-
With young Cammy recalled to cover.
-
She stood in as I had a spare ticket. Before the game she said it was a one off, as she doesn't like football. Afterwards, she admitted to enjoying the second half and will go again, but only in the summer. The next home game I can do is the Dundee one so I will try to persuade her! She is worried, though, as she started a conversation about Doumbouya tonight!

Two assists by Marley Watkins and Barnsley third in the Championship.

My wife joined me at today's game, only her second one (the other being the cup final) so she has a 100% record. Well deserved win, would have been tough had it ended in a draw. First half I felt we were not supporting Fisher enough with often just Draper and King getting close to him. Second half much better. Really impressed with Fisher's work rate and the chasing down. If he gets regular starts and we adjust to having a target man, he could do really well. All 14 get pass marks, although not sure about Polly on the right, perhaps taking time to adjust. Doumbouya looks like a handful, and pity Mulraney didn't grab a third very late on. When the MOM topic is open, I will be saying Fisher Draper King Taped Sportscene, and interesting to hear Richie praise Vigurs too. Thought he had an OK game, but Tansey still not back to his best in open play, but a couple of decent set ups at set pieces. Talk of a couple more signings before Wednesday night: hopefully as squad light on depth. All in all, an enjoyable afternoon and great result. Hopefully we can get something from Aberdeen in a fortnight.

Do we know who our Trialists are?
-
Tremarco Fisher Draper but hard to fill three places!
-
Draper Boden Tremarco
-
Sky say McNaughtin has an achilles injury and left the ground on crutches.
-
A disappointing display and result, with only Draper, Boden and Tremarco of the starting 11 getting pass marks from me. Horner and MulrNey did ok too, but Doran will need more game time to get up to speed. The next few weeks could be tough given the run of games, but hopefully we can some decent players in before the window shuts. I was treated to hospitality, and Richie was very frank and honest with what he said before the game, saying Aberdeen are still sniffing around Tansey. Not time for panicking (yet) but let's be prepared for a long hard season.

Poor night, but we need to get behind the management and players on Saturday and try to help them find form.

Based on radio: vigurs mulraney king
-
STV have described him as a full back.

Good to see Deano get a club. Good luck to him at Motherwell, except when playing us!
