Inverness CT -V- Ross County
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.

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

RIP Matty
Agreed. Very sad news.

Contract Situation
Personally, I'm sorry to see Devine go. Yes, he took some stick particularly early in the season, but I thought he improved considerably as the season went on, and contributed to what overall was a decent defensive record. hopefully we find good cover, as whilst I am delighted we will have the Warren / Meekings partnership restored we are vulnerable to injuries and suspensions.

Where are the goals coming from?
For Wales! Someone should tell the Newport fans!

Glad it's settled. Let's get behind him and be patient if necessary. Fingers crossed for a good season ahead.

Never thought I would read Danny Boy on here! Nice one!

Contract Situation
Seeing that the Courier only updated their article to report on the Colchester interest after it appeared on here, I think this forum is watched quite closely, and I am sure many players are well aware of what is being said. DD has hit the nail on the head, I agree fully.

And they have just been relegated to the fourth tier of English football. Shows the difference in money between the two leagues!

Contract Situation
I know he is not everyone's cup of tea and he had shaky moments, but I felt he grew in stature and form as the season progressed, and we did have one of the best defensive records in the league. I hope he stays as we need more than four defenders we can depend on, and injuries and suspensions are inevitable with defenders.

David Raven
Definitely great news, and David's comments on the website about everyone pulling together are spot on.

Contract Situation
Pleased to see Vigurs retained. He took some stick, particularly early in the season, when he was clearly playing when not match fit. He chipped in with a good few goals, and when we were struggling always seemed to be motivated. If Devine, Mutombo and Roberts do stay, we have kept a good nucleus of the squad together, and two or three new signings will probably do it, hopefully including a couple of strikers, although we have still to see what Fisher can do. i still think the new season will be tough, but at least things are looking more promising. Hopefully we find a Manager soon, and all the players get a good pre-season so we hit the ground running. Time will tell!

New Manager Thread
I like the sound of McCall or Sheerin with Foran as the assistant.

Must admit I have mixed feelings. He will always be associated with our best ever year (to date!), but if he feels he has done all he can, it may be the best all round. The Board is right to avoid over committing the club financially, as that would be a recipe for future disaster. Regardless of the rights and wrongs, getting the appointment of the new management team right is key. Most of all, I hope we get unity in the ranks to help us through a difficult time and hopefully set us up for a top six finish and a good cup run (or two) next season. I certainly believe we should be thanking Hughes for his part in our achievements.
-
Irony....
Just went into the club's website to see if there was anything about Hughes. I happened to notice that the league table is in points order rather than reflecting the split, implying we had a much better season than we actually had. I assume the club imports the table from somewhere rather than it being wishful thinking. Some light relief in our current uncertainty?

This has been coming for some time. i agree with many of the comments, but it creates uncertainty and worry. I hope the Board move quickly to get a new Manager in, as otherwise we will struggle to have a squad in place. The right appointment may encourage some players to sign on again, such as Raven or Roberts, but there is no chance if this becomes a drawn out saga. I have an open mind about Foran. He is a motivator, but the lack of experience is a downside. It could work if he has an experienced assistant, or if he becomes assistant to an experienced Manager. Whoever it is, they need a good scouting network and contacts, to find the Drapers and Tanseys of the future. A willingness to give game time to some of the youngsters would not go amiss either. Personally I find the situation very sad. Two dramatic semis and two finals, one of which is my highlight as a fan, with Hughes in charge, so he should go with our thanks and best wishes. I am worried about next season (but I always am) but just hope that we get a united front: Board, Manager and fans all pulling the same way, and working for the best of the club. Fingers crossed! Thanks for the positive times and memories Yogi!
