1 goal I don't want to go over old ground, but the point about Dennis is that he had agreed a contract and it had been unavailable for him to sign as arranged on the Friday and when he turned up to sign it on the Monday morning he was told that it had been withdrawn following a poor TEAM performance on the Saturday. 1 game doesn't make a player or a team. Watching some of Wyness' preformances last season was almost soul destryoing. The way such a legend was struggling to keep up with pace, huffing and puffing. He was, and still is, technically an excellent player. However he could no longer hold the ball up, beat his man for pace, win a ball in the air or even put any sting in his shot. I agree that Rankin, and to a lesser extent Wilson, should never have been let go so easily, but Wyness was no longer up to the physical nature of the SPL.

He was our 3rd top scorer last season. The rest of the forwards must've been utterly woeful then Sounds about right.

Wyness was nothing less than awful last season, bar one excellent preformance against Falkirk.

Have the board made it clear that he is staying? Could you please point me in the direction of that statement because I have missed it. I would like to retract all I have said about silence from the club if true. Pardon me, I was simply referring to the clubs plans to renew Brewster's contract. I agree, the silence from the club is defeaning, but it has been this way for a long time now.

Will you still be with him once the Dons thrash us on Saturday ? It has nothing to do with Brewster (who I have now conceded is not right for the job). The club have already made it clear that Brewster is staying. This kind of thing as Harry says can only affect the players already low confidence and morale, and put a gap between ourselves and the board, a gap that Scotty has worked so hard to bridge.

I'm with Harry on this one

McCoist was maybe not a world class player, but then neither was Shearer I spose. What he was was a world class finisher.

For future reference mate this kind of thing goes in the "All other football" board. IMO Ronaldo is almost unplayable. As for Scottish player, Kenny Daglish is the obvious answer, but Jimmy Johnstone is another option. Just now for us, probably Ian Black. Ever, Barry Robson was probably a better player, but nobody did more for the team than Dennis Wyness. He has scored close to 10 percent of our goals.

Gary Caldwell is Scotland's best holding midfielder by a considerable distance. Whose ridiculous idea it was to play him at centre back, I don't know.

:thumb04: He is indeed a very good player.

When I was only young it was the late 1980s and I was watching Highland League football like Caley v Rothes, Caley v Brora etc. so I suppose I can maybe appreciate where we are now more than fans of a younger generation than me. For an Inverness club to be even hovering around the bottom of the Premier League is pretty good considering our population. Just because you've been around longer than me, your say is more important is it? I'll have you know that I was a Caley fan to before the merger so you can shove your I can appreciate it more than the younger fans bullsh*t! :thumb04: Nowhere in his post did Caley say that his opinion was more valid then yours. He was simply pointing out that if you cast your mind back about 15 years, you would see where we have come from. We shouldn't be "hovering round the bottom" of anything. Believe it or not, we are better than that. We have no divine right to be better than anybody.

Most refreshing post on here for a while

:o I am surprised that Wilson isn't being kept on in some kind of coaching capacity to be honest. Yup. Barry is no longer fit enough for the SPL, and wages need freed up. But surely a role could have been found within the club for such a faithful servant.

Ryan Esson, Craig Dargo, Christian Kalvanes and Noel Hunt were not on trial.

Agree, he no longer brings anything to the team, in his day he was creative yes, but none of his appearances this season suggest he is worthy of a contract. Should he stay as a coach, IMO yes, nobody knows the team better than Barry, and the players respect him (probably greater then they do Brew). Will he stay as a coach, probably not

Yup, Duffy knows the Scottish game inside out. Think he would make an excellent coach.

Jim Duffy's too old to be a player/manager. Besides we've got McGuire to come back in central defence... :thumb04: ...maybe Duffy could play on for a season then Seriously, I think Pressley as manager and Duffy assisting him I could really go for. I like our habit of taking on young hungry managers and apparently Duffy is a good coach with extensive knowledge on the game. Could work! I'm pretty sure his wage demands may be to high, but I would have had Duffy as assistant manager to Brew. Or even the other way round. Throwing Brewster in at the deep end without a real qualified experienced coach to show him the ropes was plain stupid. Chris that never happened Park was here when Brew came back Pardon me, I was referring to the first stint. Park was indeed there second time, and while there we did extremely well under Brewster. Park left, and there was no experienced coach to guide Brewster. Hence pish results and pish football. Probably not.

I like how that gives you reason to insult me personally.

Oh look, Dalneigh finds fault with one of my posts again. As I said, Brewster made some honking mistakes today, and most will throw the old one defeat from relegation statistic at me, but I'd reply that we are also 1 victory (with our away form as it is, a very winnable game against St Mirren) away from the top 6. Que someone hurling abuse at me for having a different opinion to their own. Its "fans" like you that will see this club dragged into the first division with your blind support of an obviously inept manager. Why Dalneigh, do you consist with having personal digs at people that don't agree with your opinion. I have no problem with you disagreeing with what I have to say on the matter of Caley Thistle, but why rather than presenting your arguments against what I have to say, do you have a sly dig at me.

Of course he's not as good a manager as Brewster . Duffy only managed to take Dundee to 2 National finals and took them to the UEFA Cup . Nowhere near as good a record as Brewsters Bankrupting them in the process.

That will be the squad that was bottom of the league with 0 points aye?

you must be barrowmans mate to defend him...he is useless whatever quality of ball he gets into him and whatever formation is used. Barrowman is far from useless. As c100 says, he is a penalty box player that needs to play along side another striker. He was terrific against Aberdeen, and lack of strenght(which seems to be his main downfall) is something that can and will be rectified. He also requires the ball into feet, particularly in game like yesterdays. Graham Bayne would have struggled to win anything against those two.

Wyness is no longer good enough for the SPL, as he is currently proving at St Mirren.
