updates will be late tomorrow so posting the matchday thread now ....

[Scotty]

bonus. finished what I had to do this morning, home in time to load up the video feed on VPN. 

[tm4tj]

ffs, we are looking like numpties in this first half. Let's hope we pull our finger out.

[davieB]

You really have to look away when we mess around with it at the back. That's 4 or 5 times in the first half we've played ourselves into trouble. It's going to cost us if we keep doing it.

[tm4tj]

Spot on DavieB, I've never sworn so much at the telly in my life.

[tm4tj]

Swears again. GET THE BALL OUT OF THERE. We need to go up three gears, pathetic so far.

[tm4tj]

No surprise, we are not playing good enough to be in the Highland league at the moment.

[davieB]

Absolutely shocking. That's been coming for a while. We seem hellbent on giving them as many opportunities as we can. 

[+Hiro]

Been coming since minute 10.  I have no idea why our esteemed manager hasn't switched formation or personnel, we're being run ragged.  We're like a lower league team trying to kick a higher league team off the park.

[cif73]

On this display we'll be relegation candidates after today ... we're ver poor and don't deserve to go further today. 

[MuirtownJaggy]

SHAMBLES !!!!!!

[Ronaldo]

We couldn't score in a you know what, I am off to watch the tennis

 

[AlexJones]

Shades of the Ibrox debacle last season. Giving a rank rotten Championship team far too much respect. This lot just got turned over by Dumbarton. We should be going for the jugular, not sitting back.

 

[CaleyMax]

This ref is a f###ing joke!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[+Hiro]

Still no changes. I don't even know what system we're supposed to be playing.

[cif73]

Horner on for Polworth?!!! Is it just damage limitation now? 

[Scotty]

nope. Horner chased the lost cause, kept it in, and crossed it for  Storey to setup for Mutombo ... 1-1

Fair one. I take it back. In Yogi we trust.

replay a week on Wednesday (16th)

[+Hiro]

Very lucky to get a replay from that but i'll take it.  Cup dream is still alive for another 10days yet.

Most concerning thing for me was yet another meek insipid performance. We have so little creativity and at times it looks as though the players are scared to go forward and try something.

[tm4tj]

Terrible passing performance from us, we looked better after the changes, Vigurs a luxury. Lucky to get the chance for a replay, but finished stronger.

[AlexJones]

What a turnaround, Hibs wilting under pressure as usual. Shame it took going behind for us to get out of first gear. Great work from Horner and Mutombo when introduced. 

 

[+CaleyHedgehog]

I'm definitely going to the replay not least so that I don't have to listen to this biased rubbish from the commentary team. When Hibs got their goal they all cheered and laughed, but when Inverness got their goal there was silence. Come no Caley Thistle, show them why you are the cup holders. 

[davieB]

Our first instinct always seems to be pass backwards and we keep gifting the opposition opportunities.

Fair enough if we had players capable of possession football, but we don't, and that's why they're playing for us and not at a much higher level.

When we play more direct we look a far better team, as proved with the equaliser.
