Ridgers back. Devine and Henderson also start but Oakley and Boyd only experienced outfield players on the bench:

Presumably Carson will be at right back: Is Barrett released after his short term contract as he’s not in the squad?

Yes Barrett  gone

A great team effort, everyone working hard for each other and backing each other up.

I know I'm straying off topic, but what is the story about that site? The Council seems hell-bent on encouraging redevelopment of the car parks at the current stadium for business and industrial uses through its new Local Development Plan, presumably for the Common Good of the citizens of Inverness. This will undermine the function and the future of the stadium and leave the club looking for a new home. It would make sense to have it near the IRA all weather training pitches but still without a decent bus service and accessibility.

There is another site on the now abandoned holes of the old Torvean golf course. That area is adjacent to the Football Academy pitches at Charleston and has in the past been earmarked for phase 2 of the sports pitch development in relation to the West Link.

 

Council, hell bent?

Danny who?

Don’t leave us guessing! Who is the person you believe is causing the issues?

Maybe we'll see who is not on the bus tonight!

Seems to be a waiting game, players deciding to leave or stay, with knock on late decisions to sign new players. Hope to hear good news next week, or training may be a bit sparse on Tuesday.

No number 9 = No success. 

You wouldn't play with no goalie would you? No number 9 was the main problem for us last season. 

Raith released some nice big centre forward types

I’m not a happy bunny - why no re-signing for Toddy?  

Maybe he didn't like 77, he did ask for 9.

Mckay was out of contract so a free agent. Presumably he got an offer from Falkirk that suited him. I’d have been happy had he signed in for us again as, whilst not everyone’s favourite, he generally did ok for us last season.

Not heard anything about our other out of contract players. 

Guess a lot of players waiting to see who manager would be. Brad had been here a long time away from family.

I think with duffy, deas ,devine ,harper, nicolson and carson we actually have great depth in defense.

Seems to be well past his best and well beyond our budget.

I'm gobsmacked about the number of players being released by clubs, think everyones budget must be getting lower. Certainly a lot of people to choose from.

Around the 1 hour 45 minute (!) mark of the latest Wyness Shuffle pod we flag up some serious and some not so serious names for next season. Link in signature.

My not so serious suggestion was Shinniesta who was released by Charlton. We could do with a number ten to play behind the striker. Could Polly fancy a return to ICT? And Marley Watkins was recently released...  

Rotherham rumours for Liam. Will listen to podcast when cutting grass a tweekend.

Who thinks Billy Mckay a good prospect, seems to have regained form, got over injury problems, teams up well with a big centre forward type. Seems to like area.

Just my opinion but I would be giving first year pros 2 year contracts with review after 1 year to extend to 3 years. I would review every year. Their potential should be obvious to coaches during first year. It is our job to ensure they are given every opportunity to make the grade. We will lose some through late development tho.

Most clubs offer 2 year apprenticeships, mostly paid by government, this is covered by a two year contract to start. Thinking they come thru  youth system, then sign at age 17 after highers.  Anybody outside that system seem to sign a limited contract, like Anthony MacDonald.

Not seen up to date figures recently but this is a reasonable guide from last season.

They are usually announced this time of year, maybe after leagues finish.

Anyone know the prize money for league?

The problems are that nothing can be arranged as long as Raith are in the play offs, whilst we will be rusty by the time it could be played, and will probably have let the players start their summer break, as there is no reason to have them training after Friday’s game.

That would put us at a disadvantage so it is unlikely the club would agree to a late May date. Early next season could be a possibility, and hopefully crowds are back then.

However, I agree with others, and would be happy if they declared us joint winners and we can focus on next season. 

Summer break starts Saturday morning, many of them have their bags packed, lol.

Speculation is all very well but unfortunately our Board have a BIG decision to make on our management and coaching team for next season. This is a priority.

Wonder if furlough will feature this time around?  Haven't heard of any team proposing it.

Hyde and Harkness cup tied due to Rothes cup run. When I watched Buckie earlier in year they were very strong, kept running full 90 mins. But of course, a lot has happened since then.
