Could this possibly benifit us?

none what so ever we wont catch them plus they have a massive squad who all know how to score

Looks like the rumours of players not getting on with Robbo may have some truth in it they cant wait to get away but its a difficult one for the club do they let them go and make a little money? or loose players in the summer for nothing? But if the Board have any ambition at all they need to be very careful who they let go despite the pennies they may get for them not sure i want to keep players in the team who do not want to be here and dont get along with the coaches but the coaches i am sure are not totally blameless

Robbo without Park is like chips without fish, uninspiring and f*cking boring.  It's little wonder the players don't listen when his plan b seems to consist of 'do more of what's not working'.

He talks about players thinking they can just turn up and win against teams like this, but that's exactly how he sounded in the press this week and his post match slavering told us that he felt that should have been the case.

He'll change nothing next week because he doesn't know how to play a system that suits the players and doesn't have players to suit this system.

You are spot on we are going nowhere with his tactics

Inverness CT manager, John Robertson: "We were horrendous, quite as simple and straightforward as that. From the first whistle we looked lacklustre, didn't have any energy, any zip, didn't move the ball about. It looked like the players thought it's only little old Arbroath - little old Arbroath showed exactly what it takes to be a professional football team."

Is it not Robbo's tactics and team selection?? Do we have faith in him to change it next week .... eh no! So glad i had visitors today and could not go sitting in the cold to watch that must of been horrendous 

Merry Christmas ! I actually enjoyed yesterday in spells we played really well with Keatings being at the heart of most good things i thought Storey had a decent game again he put pressure on the GK and their back line which is something White clearly does not he is getting worse IMO he doesnt chase anything or win anything in the air despite being probally tallest on the pitch how much longer is Robbo going to persist with him not sure Todorov is the answer but we will never know when all he gets is 5 minutes a game. Second place is the aim now as DU are running away with it thats the difference a goalscorer makes lets hope & pray we keep going in the right direction. 

Lets be honest who thought we would win that today ? I didn't as Partick are well and truly our bogey team but seriously when your chasing the game all 3 subs done on 85 minutes !! FFS!

Just Home rather soggy but i think that is the best we have played all season the difference Keatings makes when he is in the Team and IMO we are better in midfield without Vincent Midfield much better today than recent home games Ayr were poor they created very little and Ridgers had very little to do he was a lucky boy with that gamble he took in first half. Once again refereeing was bad we were denied at least 1 stonewall penalty we are on a good wee run right now hope we keep it up.

Let's not get carried away there was not much quality football on display but a much needed win but we have scored 1 goal in 4 games that's a huge concern and 1 that doesn't seem to be getting any better

Wow ! Robbo speaking on Stv Sport news tonight saying Top Spot still achieveable Thats strong drugs you get these days for a sickness bug. Does he really think we buy that rubbish? He better change his game plan and get cracking then

So what was Mr's Kettlewell & Ferguson doing there yesterday ? Who are they watching ? it certainly wasnt the quality football on display to avoid shopping with their other half's  

Dreadful 90 minutes nothing to be proud of cant see any improvement if anything we are worse wish i had gone Xmas Shopping with Alan too

Cant believe anyone thinks we are in a position to replace the manager! If Robbo walked we would get Wilson and Kellegher. 

Agree ! and just mabey there is our problem

Mentally soft, limited on-field leadership and lack of adaptability.

The style of play is too one dimensional and predictable - but perhaps that's down to the limitations of the players rather than the manager.

Right now we are shipping too many goals so need to find a solution in central midfield that offers some protection to the CB's as right now we don't seem to have a midfielder who can win a ball in a tackle!!!

Spot on ! there is nobody in midfield capable of getting the ball forward is it coincidence we are on a poor run once we lost Welsh ? Imo he is the only midfielder who plays the ball forward 

I would love to know Barry Wilson's thought's on recent form he had plenty to say when he was a radio pundit but now he is part of the "coaching " team and has to take part responsibility for the shambles We can all shout & scream Robbo out but be careful what you wish for as we would only end up left with the other 2 so nothing would change Personally i think the dressing room is lost and players so low on confidence it is very worrying times. It will be a very poor crowd next Saturday it is a must win for ICT

2-0 ...... Arbroath Penalty !!!! Woeful again this week.

But robbo will say there was nothing between the teams .... just goals 

Oh dear oh dear we are a laughing stock no plan B (again) more hoof is it so glad it is an away game and i am not sitting in freezing cold watching more of that crap

That didn't stop queen of the South putting 4 past them. We have pure and simply bottled it play offs at best I reckon 

Agree it's not about money it's about how you coach your squad DU have put 7 goals past us in 2 games so far this season and we have scored none as you say QOS scored 4 and i am sure are on smaller budget than us The problem is Robbo and his sidekick

We are poor and getting worse by the week i think the players are low on confidence because of the poor coaching i think Robbo & Kellacher are not up to modern day coaching there is no change in how we play no matter how the game is going. Shocked to read Robbo's comments on BBC Scotland that there was nothing between the teams is he for real??  For a start they have goalscorers we may have but he gets left on the bench  but it is coming down to our (1) style of play it's so poor and driving people away by the game

Great result just what we needed i am not Vincent's biggest fan as imo he has been very poor until now but our Rooney is turning out some player he is a wee gem bit worried about Welsh injured again hopefully not serious This blows the title race wide open bring it on 

It is not rocket science Robbo should give Todorov a chance to prove himself his goals v gametime is far better than Jordan some of Jordan's misses is quite embarrassing!

Agree with above. Should have been ahead at the end of the first half but the missed chances have come back to bite us. Actually said to the guy sitting next to me that White had his best game for ages at the end of the first half and he agreed but in the second half, he unfortunately reverted to the old Jordan White on many occasions. For his size, Jordon isn't nearly physical enough with defenders although in his defence, the amount of times he gets blatantly fouled by defenders, with nothing given, is unreal.

All 3 Partick goals came from poor defending yesterday, first goal started when Vincent failed to tackle in midfield, the defence let the player run at them and it looked, albeit from a distance, that Ridgers could have done better as he was beaten at his near post. Second goal was coming all afternoon as we were frequently caught in possession trying to do silly things and the third goal, while well created and finished, we simply allowed the Partick player to run at us. The second goal was obviously crucial as it gave Partick confidence, especially Kenny Miller who then came alive and, in truth, we should have lost more goals. This against a poor Partick side is a real wake up call to us.

Robbo needs to start getting a bit ruthless with certain players. Vincent was poor yesterday and cannot remember him making a tackle. This is where we lost the game in the second half as were overrun in midfield by Partick and don't think Robbo made the correct substitutions at the right time. I also think McGregor found it hard going at times, understandable of course as he needs more games at this level, but none of the other senior players seemed to be looking out for him and helping him  on the park.

While the referee did not influence the game, I thought he was poor. Missed many obvious fouls, for both sides, and seemed to think that if a player shouted when tackled or lay on the ground it had to be a foul regardless of whether the ball was cleanly won or not. How he took so long to book Fox for timewasting, when Fox was clearly taking the mickey out of the ref was really poor.

Shake up in the attitudes of some players required for next week with a difficult trip to Ayr.

Vincent has been poor every game bar last week (but he was never MOM )yesterday was back to his usual he plays the ball backwards never forward also I do wonder how long Robbo will keep starting Jordan yes he scored yesterday but look how many he misses . MOM yesterday young Roddy no doubt

This is the games we should be encouraging youth, start with a couple of the younger lads and lets see what they can do. After all if we won't do it in these games then when will we?!

I agree there's no such thing as a nonsense cup but it's about priorities and this one surely ranks lowest of them all so make it work for the good of the squad if nothing else.

Have we many young lads left? Apart from the ones who make up numbers on the bench do we actually have any left?

About as bad as it can get that first half but Robbo must change our starting 11 sorry but White has chance after chance and it is miss after miss the game only got better after White was subbed fans are frustrated as the same starting 11 week after week. Vincent is very poor there must be better that can start

Vincent and Carson in midfield together just doens't work. Would definetly say Vincent's the poorer of the two. Nobody wanting to get on the ball and find a pass into feet to the forwards or wingers.

Vincent is awful Midfield a big concern we are needing Welsh back ASAP

What changes would you make?

I would start Todorov instead of White just to see if that makes a difference but the style of play needs to change hoofing the ball not working
