    Oh dear.Did that second goal take a deflection. If we come back from this it will be absolutely amazing.
  2. Douglas Mackenzie
    Like the way we are playing and think we are stronger so far anyway.Think Zander looks unusually shaky in their goal so far.
  3. Douglas Mackenzie
    Thought Carson got ball and not a yellow.Like the starting 11 and the way we are set up.Samuel causing their defence problems
  4. Douglas Mackenzie
    When I saw the starting 11 I was doubtful without Samuel's and Chalmers.We were rubbish for the first half, no width and long high balls as usual to the two smallest players up front.Second half was totally different.Great subs,delighted to see Allardyce back as he calmed the team and showed experience.Two brilliant goals by McAleer. Well done ICT.Please don't start like that on Monday.

    Proud of these boys, yes the game was crap to watch as a spectacle but when we were down to 9 men,8 men and so on,when you think the ref had an absolute howler and backs were to the wall,we dug deep and showed true grit
  6. Douglas Mackenzie
    Very disjointed effort first half by ICT.I cannot believe we are still punting long balls to nowhere.Why oh why don't we play forward
  7. Douglas Mackenzie
    Arbroath defo strongest playing with wind,but we have to learn to keep ball on ground and pass the ball.High kicks forward met by Arbroath defence every time

    What a disappointment that first half was, but the second was slightly better.Long balls never work when you have smaller strikers.We looked disjointed and Arbroath had us man marked well.Broadfoot has experience and served us well over the season,but he needs a rest.I would play Duffy on Friday.Just think we need to practice passing as it is woeful at times. Well it is half time,so lets make Friday better. Special mention for the officials,you too were dire.

    I think it has been all said.Not a great watch and grateful for the early goal.Thought Ridgers,Carson,Sutherland and Samuel's were standouts.Passing at times pretty woeful and as long as we have small strikers high balls up front are no use unless it is spot on perfect for a Samuel's run. That said a good shift by all and well done for grinding out a result. Good crowd and what a difference our younger singing supporters make.

    Terrific game with Caley playing some nice football and what a goal that second was.The pass from Sutherland was sublime. They were dirty players (Partick) and it looked like they were told to be hacking our players down. What a miss by Alegeria or similar name. Well done ICT support at the game.Lets finish it off Friday
  11. Douglas Mackenzie
    Well that was no classic, but job done and 3 points.Concerned that this level of performance will not be good enough for play offs.We really needed a second goal.At least I can grow my nails soon, as watching ICT when 1-0 up can be nerve wracking as I waited for the self induced mistake and equaliser.Thankfully it never came. We need to really tighten up at the back at times and stop giving away soft free kicks in dangerous areas. Well done for the win

    That second half was the best I have seen this season.Inspired subs putting on Carson and Doran,they changed the game.I thought we played lovely football at times.Great atmosphere added to by great number of travelling support
  13. Douglas Mackenzie
    Well we threw that game away and dropped 2 points.We must have just came out 2nd half all complacent, thinking we were good enough to hold onto our lead,when we are not good enough and need to fight for 90 minutes. Surely we have learned that after this season.
  14. Douglas Mackenzie
    We are so disappointing this half we just need to plug away and try and steal a win.Strange when we were so in charge first half.
  15. Douglas Mackenzie
    Think we need to be get back to being first for second ball.Ayr right in our faces this half.
  16. Douglas Mackenzie
    What a goal for 2
  17. Douglas Mackenzie
    Well worked goal
  18. Douglas Mackenzie
    Nothing will take away from a good all round performance yesterday and yes maybe saying Yogi was a master at tactics was pushing it,but come back to me when any Inverness Manager can claim similar to 3 cups and first division with Falkirk,Scottish Cup with Inverness,PFA Manager of the year etc.What I meant is Yogi will have done his homework and if he sees any weakness he will capitalise.Thankfully the boys were all good yesterday.
  19. Douglas Mackenzie
    At last a good performance all over.I have been critical of Sutherland a few times this season,but today I thought he was immense.The big difference was the team had desire,grit,determination and fight.Great to see that spirit back. We need to build on today get the confidence fully back and believe we can do it. Maybe we are coming good again at the right time.Well done to all today.

    Don't know why it concerns me that when we finally manage to get a route out of the Championship we usually throw it away. We seem to struggle against the bottom teams in this league and after two lucky scrapes we secured a couple of wins,but let's be honest,in neither game did we flatter.Saturday is a biggie and we better be switched on.
  21. Douglas Mackenzie
    Oh well that's what makes us all fans I guess, different opinions.If he wasn't any good why has he managed so many teams at so many levels with his fair share of success.At least he has a plan and is tactically aware.Not sure we have at times.
  22. Douglas Mackenzie
    Seems to be doing well tonight.Hughes has always had a good knowledge of the game and knows tactics.He did win us a cup at Inverness more than any other recent Manager has managed since. My point is now with three ex ICT players,Hughes is turning it round and if they play on Saturday like they are playing tonight we better be at our best.
  23. Douglas Mackenzie
    Totally agree,We need to practice passing and pass from the back out. You don't need to be a Rocket Scientists to know high balls to small strikers = no chance of getting the ball. It is that simple. High balls might work if we still had a White or similar up front,but when he was with us he couldn't jump and now he is like a kangaroo with County. We surely must have a game plan, because Yogi is the master tactitian and strategist and he will have Dumfermiline fighting all the way. We need to realise that we have been lucky these last two games and overall we are a shadow of the team we once were. We need to have players who can read the game and take up the right positions to receive passes. Finally, as Chalmers showed, shooting when near the goals is always an option rather that trying to pass it into the net and getting bogged down.
  24. Douglas Mackenzie
    I understand the tactics now. Confuse the opposition by using as many subs as you can and change formation so much that the opposing team don't know what's going on .Ah the down side,well we don't know what formation we are playing either and that is why passes keep going astray.Justgoing to enjoy the win for now and grateful Chalmers chose to shoot twice and not pass.
  25. Douglas Mackenzie
    Let's hope we analyse the scrappy goals conceded to learn for next few games.Just relieved we scraped it.
