Forres Mechanics v Inverness CT - LIVE UPDATE

[PullMyFinger]

I thought Proctor was a bit anonymous tbh. Had more than his fair share of mistakes.

[AJS]

Early days yet but it is great to see more of the young guns making their mark.

[+jagster]

Meekings - Not strong enough or imposing enough to be a centre half - beaten too easily in the air

Gillett - awful start but improved as the game went on.

A Shinnie - took his goals well

G Shinnie - looked pretty good as a left mid though not the best of opposition

D Proctor - played well - as if he had never been away and could be an important player this year.

N Ross - Sailed through the game

G Tansey - Too many missed passes - his touch looked a bit heavy but looks quite athletic and will hopefully come good

Rossco - Played as a centre half should

Pass marks for the others though we seem to have loads of midfield players at the moment with no out and out strikers - here's hoping Tade/Gonnell will step upto the mark or there will be a lot of weight on Shanes shoulders to bang in the goals

Is there any sign of Jonny Hayes?

[ubern]

Tade, Christophe, Stevenson and Sutherland were all sitting in the stand watching.. No sign of Cox or Hayes (of the guys signed up they were the only two I can think of that weren't there). Terry has been saying in interviews that Johnny should be back for the Elgin game on Saturday.

Edit: Esson is another signed player who wasn't there.

Just seems so obvious Proctor should be a good defensive midfielder, I'm surprised he's never played there (that I can remember). Not quite strong enough for a centre-back, not quite quick enough for right-midfield, not quite good enough in the tackle for right-back, yet with a football brain, tidy passing and hard enough for that deep-lying midfield position.

[AJS]

Heard Stevenson and Christophe are meant to feature on Saturday. Both picked up knocks in training this week.

Agreed.

He did play there a bit in the second half of the season in the First Division. I seem to recollect thinking at the time that he played a lot better there than in any of the other positions he's played.
