Ridgers ???? He is becoming a major bonus. Another deserved clean sheet and three tremendous saves.  

Rooney  ????? Simply superb in the first half. Not as effective in the second half when moved forward but covered every blade of grass

McHattie ???? Was unsure to begin with but he and Coll looked like a real partnership. And that pass to start the first goal move was "World Class".

Donaldson ???? Looked more like the Coll of yore. Won EVERYTHING. 

Tremarco ??? Solid if not spectacular but Dundee did play mainly down our right flank.

Vincent ???? I thought that he was superb and you could see him continually supporting and egging on all around him.

Trafford ??? Grafted but defended more than gave anything going forward.

Keatings ??? Very well taken goal. I felt that he too suffered from the enforced half time goal. Desperately needs a striker who knows how to be a foil to a number 10.

Storey ??? Has so much potential but frustrates me that he does not take people on more often. Still a striker to me and not a winger.

Todorov ?? Sorry but had a big chance to make his mark but did little to impress. Simply not a holding target man.

Doran ??? What a finish as only Aaron could do. He is the one person who you think could do something impromptu but lacks pace these days BUT still worth a starting place

McKay was a bit of a bomb scare at times, Carson is tireless and White looked good and hopefully continues to look over his shoulder at Toddy.

Robbo got it spot on today but I still think that he should have taken on McGregor at halftime but WTF.

And even Robbo the Ref gave us far more than he usually does ?

???

 

You joined the happy clapped lol

Storey off at half time and Brad McKay on. Rooney supposedly right wing. Trafford off and Carson on 10 minutes into 2nd half.

Well I would bet mucho spondoolicks that the 194 ICT supporters who witnessed this performance would rank that first half performance as the most fluent and effective that we have played in a long time. I would class it as entertainment personified and the singing must also class as the loudest and most prolonged in years as well - even though a few idiotic barstewards tried to ruin it. Storey coming off at half time definitely affected the rhythm and Rooney was nowhere near as effective in midfield - although he had done enuff in the first 45 to win the MOM by a country mile.

We started off as a 4-2-1-3 but were forced into a 4-4-2 in the second half. I reckon we would have trounced them if it had stayed the same. We totally controlled the first 15 minutes and then we were treated to the goal of the season which will be very difficult match. McHattie fired a pinpoint 60 yard cross field ball which found Rooney in miles of space. He then moves forward and we expect a looping cross. Well he cut it back along the 18 yard line at pace and DORAN smashed it into the corner. And only seven minutes later Rooney is at it again and at the end of a speedy counter attack KEATINGS cooly chipped it home. And we all thought that Storey had smashed in a second but unfortunately it was the side netting that bulged. And as we drew breath we wondered if the second half would be more of the same.

Alas Storey going off, presumably injured, we probably lost our system. Brad McKay coming on at right full back and Rooney moving into right midfield. Harsh maybe but I feel that we should have taken on McGregor. But don't get me wrong - we continued to boss the game. We never really looked like grabbing the third but Dundee never looked like scoring either. We did play a low lying back four but they won nearly everything and our workmanship and pressing was excellent. The only negative is that we may have lost three more squad players but let's hope that none of the injuries are serious and that Welsh and Walsh will return soon.

Do it is a very happy IHE who sips his post match voddie and let's hope that 2002 brings more of the same.

Smileymometer to follow ?

Thanks for the feedback IHE. I thought McHattie strolled through the cup games at centre half, albeit against lower level opposition, so interesting to read your comments about him today. 

I’m a fan of McCart, but he may find it hard to get his place back based on today’s feedback. 

Interesting to hear how Toddy did too. 

Who was the third injury? BBC reported Storey and Trafford as subbed due to injuries.

Robert - my fellow Happy Clapper - it was Todorov. But it didn't look serious. More worried about Storey. Well worth the £16 concession. Pretended I was as old as Donview ?

I agree well worth the £16 student concession from my old student card came in handy.

Excellent result...we need to keep going to secure that 2nd spot, whilst putting a little pressure on Dundee Utd in case they get a nose bleed. Let's hope we don't have to sell anyone i the transfer window. I'm up for the Ayr away ame end of the month and really looking forward to it.

Superb football in the first half. Superb support......................especially 'Paul McGowan..................does your Mum cut your hair?' and as the dejected Dundee supporters trudged out 'Was there a fire alarm?'

However, with 20 games gone, the transfer window and bad weather soon to affect games, we should be realistic and fully accept that Dundee United will be worthy champions. Congratulations to them. However, we must grind out results to see if we can take second.

Very competent and professional performance yesterday against a team with twice our budget and the best possible reaction to last week's setback against Arbroath.

Realistically, we are now in a battle for second spot and it's impossible to overstate just how important it is that we retain that place.

History shows very clearly that teams occupying third or fourth place in this division have little or no chance of prevailing in the play offs due to the extra effort of the two extra games. Second place gives a chance and has been good enough to achieve promotion more than once.

Whilst a cup run would be a bonus, all efforts must now be on retaining second place and giving ourselves a chance of promotion. It's no exaggeration to say that retaining full time football in Inverness may depend on it.

The best scenario would really be to put Alloa away first time of asking then draw one of the OF away (home as a 2nd option) and get knocked out. Maximise the cash income from the cup while being out early enough to avoid fixture congestion and fatigue/injuries later in the season. Especially considering we still have potentially 2 games in the chocolate biscuits trophy.
