Team for Dons
I disagree, Tansey should start on Tuesday. Assuming the same injuries, for me: Fon Williams Raven, Warren, McCart, MacNaughton Laing, Polworth, Draper, Tansey, Cole Mckay Subs: Esson, Mckay, Mulraney, Macrae, King, Fisher, Anier

Are we under-achieving this season?
Realistically with our budget, we should be in a relegation battle most seasons (just hope we stay up!), and we have had several years of over achievement, which we savoured, culminating in May 2015.

Greg Tansey...
I thought Tansey showed commitment today and was wanting to push on for a win. I don't doubt that will be the same for the rest of the season, including Tuesday as he will want to show Aberdeen what he is capable of.

Inverness CT -V- Kilmarnock
I thought Mckay was limping just before the penalty, but it was a stone waller and a challenge that did not need to be made. We did not deserve to go behind and after Billy's goal we had a couple of very decent efforts that drew saves from the Killie keeper, from Tansey and Cole. Even probably fair enough at half time. Fon Williams had at least three good saves, so whilst I feel it is a game we could and should have won, we could equally sell yave lost. I was pleasantly surprised by MacNaughton at left back in the second half, and I thought McCart had a good game. Raven and Warren did OK too, especially Raven. Unlike some, I thought Laing was OK in a deep midfield role, but agree the Tansey, Polworth, Draper combination would have been better. I thought Tansey had a good game. Cole had some moments first half, but King disappointed. Thank goodness for Mckay! Results elsewhere went against us, and we need to turn draws into wins soon. Only one loss in seven sounds good, but it is only one win in seven. Anything on Tuesday will be a bonus, before two really big games against St Johnstone and Motherwell.

Boden & Fisher
Remember it well, on an Open Top bus in New York and couldn't believe it when I checked the score!

Inverness CT -V- Ross County
Have watched the 5 minutes of highlights on the BBC website. I remain convinced we deserved to win, having made the better chances. Hit the woodwork twice, drew at least two decent saves from the County keeper, one sitter missed (I know County missed a bigger sitter and can feel aggrieved they did not get a penalty). On another day it could have been one of our enjoyable derby wins..... but we are where we are and all deserve to have our own views respected.

Boden & Fisher
Boden is here long term so hopefully fulfills his early promise. Fisher seems out of favour amid rumours of a fall out. Ebbe came on today and had one attempt off target but not seen enough of him to judge him. When we debated Doumbouya or Fisher earlier in the season, I was on Fisher's side as I liked his work rate. Mckay and Fisher may be worth a punt, but doubt it will happen.

Inverness CT -V- Ross County
So did I, although I respect the views of others. We have tightened up at the back, which was needed. The downside is that there can be too much of a gap between midfield and attack. When we moved it fast today, we were pretty good. My only complaint was not changing it when one up. I'd have played King or Cole in place of Anier at that time, leaving Billy up front on his own but with a midfielder backing him up. We are off the bottom, still in touch, only one defeat in 6, so have cause to believe we can stay up. And I'm not a "happy clapper"!

Inverness CT -V- Ross County
Just in from game and may post again later. Gutted we didn't win, as I felt we could hold on. Pity we didn't get a second when we had them on the rack and hit the woodwork. The way we started the second half was great. Still, only one defeat in six in the league, but turning draws into wins is what we need. Felt the County goal was a soft one to lose, but need to see both goals on tv. On this whole, I felt the defence did ok, allowing the full backs to push on more. Tansey was the pick of the midfield, closely followed by Draper. Polworth and Vigurs did OK on the whole, with a couple of decent Vigurs efforts with his wrong foot before he got crocked. Mckay did well when the ball went near him, and Anier was hit and miss, needing a better first touch, but when he got it right he did ok. Would have liked to have seen Cole or King come on when we were one up to add pace and support. Disappointed, but still believe we can stay up. Roll on Kilmarnock!

THE HIGHLANDS ARE OURS ??
According to BBC, Schalk is fit too. A really big game, lets all get behind the team and get the win we want!

Great to see Marley doing well in the Championship. His part in the cup final should always endear him to us!

Partick -V- Inverness CT
Will be interested in your view, but as our record in Maryhill is poor, I see getting out of jail as a bonus. We have gained a few points with very late goals, which has kept us in touch. I can't wait for the derby, we are overdue a performance and result against them. I still enjoy recalling the 3-0 win in Dingwall last season, particularly the way Drapes celebrated his goal. More if the same on Saturday I hope!

Aaron Doran Out for the Season
Not good, hope he comes back fitter and better than ever.

Inverness CT -V- Celtic
I couldn't get to the game as was in Manchester. When. Turned my phone to flight mode as late as I could and was hopeful of getting t half time at 0-0. Turned it back on when the flight landed and horrified to find we were 4 down. Anyway, whilst we were hopeful we never really expected anything, so we must put it behind us and focus on the next game. 11 left to save our season and performances like the Rangers game can surely let us achieve that. Just a pity other results this week have been a nightmare.

First choice back 4
If all fit, Raven, Mckay, Meekings, Tremarco

Beware the Ides of March
I only watched the last 20 minutes but seemingly Partick Thistle were very poor today and only had their first real chance at the very end, so hopefully they are the same on Saturday. Danny Devine sent off for two bookings. I'm not an expert on how suspensions work when the cup is involved: does he miss out next week?

Beware the Ides of March
Agreed but we must aim for 10th or above!

Beware the Ides of March
Motherwell leading and that won't help if they hold on, but I suppose it drags Kilmarnock back into the mix, but it will leave us 5 off 10th.
