TheScarf Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Robbo doesn’t really ‘shit the bed’ with ICT. And given the difference in resources between the two clubs, a County win on Saturday is hardly him doing so. There’s not an ounce of pressure on ICT to win this. The home side, overwhelming favourites to win the league, have some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As great as it would be to recreate some of the scuddings we've given County in recent seasons in Dingwall the most likely result will be a repeat of the 4 - 0 thrashing they dished out to us in 16/17. Given the depth of their squad compared to our injury troubled scraps from the rich mans table I can't see us getting a win here. I'd be delighted with a draw.

Inverness gave up on their manager in that game. The last twenty minutes had Dylan Dykes coming on and taking the piss. That was the easiest derby game in history.

I doubt it'll even register on Sportsounds radar for anything more than a fleeting mention. On the plus side at least that avoids pish like El Kessecko and Cold Firm...

yoda Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Strange to see such a lack of build-up to what might be (if rumours around Inverness are to be believed) the last ever Highland Derby in Dingwall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thejailender Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Despite all the coy messages from Caley fans, they have to be seen a slight favourites for this game.No team that is 16 (?) games unbeaten in this league can be seen as anything else other than favourites.However, county have assembled a good squad and vastly improved our defence and midfield from last season, and we’re the home team (if that actually makes a difference given there is no travel for Caley)Up front we’ve not really found a combination that is proving fruitful and are relying on goals from around the teamGiven all that I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a 0-0 drawA result that probably won’t suit either side.It’s a big 3 weeks for County though, as following this game we’ve then got Utd and Partick (both away) before the international breakI’d quit happy take 7 points from those games.

MarkPockets Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I look forward to Draper meeting a Vigurs corner and burying it in the top corner In all seriousness though, massive game for each team. Hope Fraser is back and we play either 4-5-1 or 4-4-2. Mullin and Midge have to start for me. Either formation will see us leave out a player that probably deserves a start such is the way the squad is. Don't think the 3 at the back suited us last week and as well as Draper did, it nullified some of what he is best at. Gutted that I'm missing it as this is going to be a cracker. 2-0 County pls.

staggy4life Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 P&J saying Caley have only sold initial allocation of 700 but requested more tickets today. I'd like to think there will be the same amount expecting to pay on the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiG Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I don't think there's been any word on our injuries from last weekend so I'm guessing that Rooney and Oakley are out at least. Based on that I'm guessing we'll line up: Ridgers Mckay McCart Donaldson Tremarco Welsh Chalmers Doran Polworth Walsh White White will probably get subbed after an hour for Austin.
