Sounds like it's absolutely crucial for the long-term future of the club in current form.....

Duh-Duh---Duh-Duh-Duh-Duh----- Duncan Ferguson!!! Once again not a vintage performance by any means but we scored the goals at a really good time and then saw out the second half without much trouble..... I could get used to this!! There were some spells of nice interchanges and keeping the ball well; not as much as at Dundee Utd last week but that has to be a secondary concern at the moment anyways given our situation. What is clear is that the players are giving everything and growing in confidence under Big Dunc's regime - Carson and Harper prime examples of this. My standouts today were Boyes, Gilmour and MOTM David Wotherspoon who has been an excellent addition. Goals aside, he has given us an outlet which we didn't have before, holds the ball up well and brings others into play. Prior to his arrival Billy McKay was spending his time isolated and chasing lost causes. Now he is spending more time in the areas we want and need him, i.e. in the penalty box. Max Anderson has also really came onto a game since the new manager came in. One of the stewards at last week's game (who was a Dundee fan) said that they want him back.... I hope we can keep him until at least the end of the season. Hoping he's not injured and instead was taken off at half time as he was our only player sitting on a yellow card. 3-points at Dunfermline next week would be a huge statement to the rest of the teams in the league (Dundee Utd apart) and hopefully have us striving for the play-off places. Looking forward to it already and hopefully we can take a sizeable away support to help cheer the boys to victory. Don't want to get too carried away at this stage, and I'm sure there will be ups and downs throughout the season, but also feel we should enjoy the honeymoon period for as long as it lasts!

It's three at the back with Carson and Harper wing backs.... Hope they can still get forward in the second half Very positive showing first half but still missing clinical edge in final third. Shaw stayed up under in a challenge in penalty box - very honest - but had he gone down it was certain penalty I feel. United have missed a couple of sitters. Come on Caley!!!

Yes joker thanks

I saw Lewis Hyde in town with his ICT tracksuit on at around 1.40pm today which I thought was a bit strange. Thought the team would be at the stadium considerably before that . I didn't see him warming up but didn't take too much notice of who was at times to be honest.

Great to get first home win of the season. I thought Cameron Harper, Max Anderson and Louis Longstaff were the standout performers today who deserve special mention. Harper in particular was absolutely tireless and always willing to take the ball even in difficult positions. Not a vintage performance (or particularly great match) by any means however given our position at the moment, I'm not really bothered about that! 7 points out of 9 for Big Dunc compared to the 1 from 18 we had before his arrival.... Bring on Utd!! One observation I would make is that even in recent games when we have looked pretty solid, as soon as we start making substitutions, it really seems to hinder us. And when we are winning could we please take all the balls away from the side of the pitch please so that the opposition don't have immediate access to them and we can 'kill' the game like more experienced sides seem to be able to do!

Just had a quick look on Morton website to see if there was any news on there re potential rearranged date. No update however I did have a look on the fixtures section and noticed that we apparently now play our home matches at 'Scalding Rock Stadium' .....

Never mind who was in the running now .... we have Big Dunc and we need to get fully behind him and the players. The supporters really played their part yesterday and hoping for more of the same at the first home league game where he'll be in charge against Partick on Saturday. Yesterday was great and whilst there were major celebrations at the end, I don't think people are under illusions that there is still a lot of hard work to be done even to avoid relegation never mind anything else. It was more a case of relief that we finally managed to win a game, combined with welcoming the new manager. Delighted to see him in amongst the fans at the end... the type of passion that has been sadly missing in recent times. Keeping feet well and truly on the ground but feeling much more positive than a couple of weeks ago after yesterday's performance.

Somebody definitely mentioned a curve ball ......

Just checked the Rothes website and it says the game is on Wednesday .... given the issues highlighted with communication right now , you really couldn't make it up

Going by the ICT official website Robert this game is tomorrow (Tuesday) night??!

The team gave it everything today , I don't think they can be faulted in that department. We are just very much lacking quality in the final third.... gutted we lost the late goal once again

Aside from one or two errors in the second half, I thought Ujdur had a very good debut - he looked comfortable on the ball, didn't panic even when under pressure and his distribution was excellent. Like others have said though , we just look so lightweight up front. I'm afraid we need two new starting strikers in January - hopefully it won't be too late by then ......

Really enjoyed listening to the Wyness Shuffle podcast, well done to the guys. Some interesting names mentioned. Let's hope whoever is appointed on permanent basis can inject some passion and excitement back into the team. Bigger fundamental issues at the club still need to be addressed clearly - will be interesting to see what plan of action is proposed following Supporters Trust meeting on Saturday.
