"The ICT Thread - The Championship Years"
Arjy replied to top six next year's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
So all in all, looking back at the season, we have had our ups and consistent downs. I feel throughout the season it's been too much of the same excuse. Yes we went through an injury crisis but we still had a (fairly) competent squad to compete to maintain a better position to solidify a higher position to mount a better playoff push however, we dropped too many points throughout this period and to me, finishing 6th isn't acceptable. I personally wouldn't be offering Dodds an extension to his contract but more than expect that to be secured, and potentially has been offered this going by comments seen throughout social media. I feel that Dodds has earned a lot more goodwill than he deserves by getting to the cup final which we're all very much aware of how that has come about. In the last few months I feel we have started to see Billy's tactics 'come together' in some manner but this is too little too late. I also feel playing a system that focuses on crossing with the players we have up top isn't necessarily the most effective way to play and seems pretty outdated and lacking in imagination. It works from time to time, but not against the better opposition that we need to beat if we are to compete for the title. Additionaly, are we able to maintain this form into the next season? Given how lost we looked when the best team wasn't available I'm not so sure. You cannot bank on having all of your best players available throughout a season. Another point is multiple integral players' contracts are running out, are we able to retain these key players? For example I doubt that the likes of Deas will be staying and an adequate replacement found. And if we don't keep these kind of players will the new ones that come in not only be of a good enough standard but also integrate into the team in time before we end up with another mediocre or worse season? Given how long it's taken the likes of Shaw to turn out good performances I have my doubts. I'm looking to the next season in hopes we can make the playoffs but this is very much a regression from this year where truly competing for the title seemed very much on the cards. Ultimately I do not view Dodds as the manager to take us further forward. Hopefully I'm proven wrong. -

Academy player Kieron Willox has been signed by Rangers. 16 years old and been at us for 6 years. Does anyone know what kind of compensation we'll get for that if any? https://ictfc.com/ict-academy-player-kieron-willox-signs-for-rangers -

Half assumed this was Doran leaving the club. Clearly not... -
That's total football there. Is that Ridgers' second assist of the season?

Lovely finish

We badly need MacGregor subbed on. Get Duffy off and put Carson to right back
