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 team Given all that I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a 0-0 draw A 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 break I’d quit happy take 7 points from those games. Agree with all of this. For all our squad looks good on paper, we've just been a strong and tidy team so far, I don't think we're playing good attacking football that really tests the better/more organised teams (I reckon a lack of pace in midfield, and McManus' limitations when not given space, are the main factors in this). We've beaten the bottom 3, but lost to Morton, and drew with QoS who hit the woodwork. On current form I wouldn't have us as clear favourites against half the teams in this league. Hoping for everything to click in an utter battering. But expecting an even match, assuming no red cards or massive brain-farts (those players likely know who they are).

Oh really? I can't seem to get to anything on the P & J site (most of it has disappeared behind a paywall) and even the Courier seems to be going that way as well. Swap Rooney back in for McCart and shift Mckay back into the middle and I suspect that will be our team then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think there will be the same amount expecting to pay on the day? Got my ticket this time last week and was told at the office that the original allocation was pretty much sold out and they had already requested more tickets. Reckon we will end up with about 1100-1200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrie Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Getting a little nervous now. Like others have said, on paper we've got a great squad, but on the pitch we've rarely gotten into any form of real menace- the 3-1 win away to Dunfermline was as much of them being sloppy at the back as it was Mullins' wonderstrike and Midge's run and finish. I don't see there being many goals in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
