Just way behind Hickey in what he offers, but thankfully still better than Ralston who should be nowhere near the squad and like Taylor is only there through circumstance and playing for Celtic 'big team'. A few years ago Patterson & Hickey would have been considered heading towards a similar trajectory however one looks heading for top club/level and the other Championship. Hoping for some development of Calvin Ramsey to start knocking on the door as 3rd choice or even pushing for 2nd.

if he (or any of the above) wants to join at the start of the WC qualifying campaign and do contributions in getting us to a competition then fine, but throwing your interest out there on the verge of the Euros just because Gareth is snubbing him I'd tell him to bide his time and if not happy with that then f**k off. If he wanted to play for Scotland he'd already have been in the squad.

If any of these players or any others eligible when approached at the start of a qualifying campaign want to commit then if its an upgrade on who we have and a squad position which is typically not nailed on then its no different to a promising youngster coming through. The idea that any player who's not committed suddenly becomes interested once qualified or near a tournament can f**k off. Elliot Anderson had a chance to come in and basically play in a few games then head into the Euros with Scotland - good luck if he thinks he will get that with England anytime soon. Not sure I'd agree with any of these guys if it was the detriment of a player who'd done some 'hard miles' previously through that campaign. After that episode, its safe to say there's a cunty attitude with some players who might be better avoided than bringing in and fucking up the unity of the squad.

Clearly going to be a target for any club with his impeccable record of never loosing a game of association football while managing in Scotland

Why? He's a tactically clueless narcasstic moron.....apart from racism surely key traits for a County manager?

John Robertson Or William Of Dodds

Reassuring to see teams now starting to worry about the charge of The Caley under big Dunc. Shows we are moving in the right direction and its a culture change from the toothless early season displays against Dodds where opposition were looking at taking points from us. A win on Sat and we're 3 places further up the table - plenty motivation to get the job done.

Pretty sure he gave good verbal with a caley fan last year when he was being taunted about being a County reject Also can't recall who but there's been at least a few occasions with visiting players and management coming to Inverness have taken offence to fans behind the dugout- although there is one fan who's a fat old mouthy c**t who probably deserves a slap tbf

Hoped to see someone (ridgers) grab him by the lugs and run around holding the midget up like he'd just won the Scottish cup

No.

How much of last season was masked or aligned with the contribuitions by Akinyemi and his goals?

Decent draw away last week against the best team in the league, no reason to think we cant continue our solid form under Dunc with a win at home being realistic. As every just need to avoid conceding as we have yet to demonstrate (other than Arbroath game) that we are capable of scoring more than the odd solitary goal - but this may be the turning game for that. A win and we climb a point behind Ayr with a game in hand.

DoF at StJ?

Until we find a way of scoring goals regularly and looking more potent this may be the approach to mitigate loosing goals instead? At least Dunc has shown even at an early stage in his management career with us he has more than one set of formations & tactics in his locker.

And the point of it will be what? Not sure there was anything as outcomes from the last one that achieved much. Theres the unconnected and fortunate coincidence that the club sacked our previous manager and we have had an upturn in results the key issues at the club still remain - communication, engagement, transparency etc - after all the club show it utter contempt and don't even provide representation by key stakeholders. I suspect it'll be more 'safe' topics on the agenda. No offense to anyone in the ST but it just seems like a wee badge to wear defining why they are a 'better' fan than the rest of us.

Early season definition of a title decider, we cant afford giving DUtd a 22pt advantage if we are going to win this league with Duncball!!! A point would be a good result, big concern is if we concede its hard to see us scoring more than one

Given another season for RC struggling at the bottom of the league I'd suggest most of your team are already practicing for joining the Championship next year anyways.

Reminds me of a lot of traits we saw in Jordan White. We are the lowest scores in the league and while our GA record inst actually bad, its putting all the pressure on the defensive side of the game with little outlet. Right now other teams (and lets face it us fans and players) know that we are toothless. Dunc will has his work cut out to find goals and looking forwards with this team so has to try do something. Billy cant go on forever and being honest is the only player who is proven to regularly returns goals., Samuels is absent more often than available and his record is poor (at best), Sheridan is short term and we don't know his fitness. Without deep pockets for a solution we have to hope Dunc can develop what he has and using physicality as a target man, there can be nobody better to teach that to Harry. Realistically though if we stay in this division a full overhaul of our forward line up will be required for next season

Tbh, it's not just the appearance stats. Although I haven't actively looked, I'd expect his game contributions have diminished accordingly too (I certainly struggle to recall games he's been MOTM or highly influential) - goals, assists which given the views of some should be still highly competitive given we are not in the big league. Sadly a player on the decline both in terms of physical capability and game influence.

Thanks for the recognition. Just one of my many views which seem alternative or polarising to the CTO rose tinted brigade for whom the club can never do wrong.

Apart from we will not loose to Raith

Can't post what was deleted and user since been blocked from contacting. Everyone is entitled to see things as they wish, however randomly sending messages to strangers in a private setting I see as strange at least. Posted plenty on forums and never seen that kind of behaviour when discussing topics. The end from me.

Surely just knowing there is a user randomly sending PMs when they don't like posts or criticism is enough to cast judgement.

Agreed.

Most important competition is the league and always has been as premiership football is needed for long term development and stability of the club. The cup is only important right now because the team have made such a c**t of that.
