Although as a DU fan not sure why it would resonate with you. A few posters on this thread still dream about his performances and good looks. Arguably our best ever yes, but the team in the first promoted season for me. Long unbeaten run after Sproule and Ikonomou arrived. Beat Celtic from 2 down. Could just have done with a Liam Boyce. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensible Soccer🏴 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Does anyone think that we'll add to the squad in January? The group was very threadbare going into the break so hopefully one or two will be back. I'd expect either/both Samuels to be shown the door in the summer which may allow another striker to come in but that's a tough signing for January. I think Randall is out for a good while yet but I forget about the rest, Purrington & Callachan should be back, hopefully 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is White, Hiwula & Akio enough for the remainder of the season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty-RCFC Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 My reckoning for the transfer window is that we will likely bring in a striker and a centre half in on loan from England somewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rcfc fan Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Randall will be 2nd choice to Johnson , could do with offloading one or both samuel’s (I don’t mind dom) and bringing in a striker , possibly a centre half of being picky 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Competition and cover for positions is healthy for the starting XI. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 We need a better option up front to rotate with White- Dom Samuel offers himself and is a willing runner but is poor in front of goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty-RCFC Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Take that. Been a while since we’ve got a draw and not gone “for f**k sake” at my TV and as the balls slowly counted down with Caley still in it I thought it was bound to happen. Come to think about it, when was the last time we actually got a draw in the 4th Round of the Scottish that we’ve been favourites for other than the Caley game? Stenny at home? Must’ve been about 10 year ago now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Would rather it wasn't Accies, tbh. Too many bad memories down at NDP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the first match shown on Sportscene that night and got about 10 mins of footage. The replay in Dingwall was dull but De Vita scored a sweet volley for the winner. 16/17 beating Dundee United (Championship side) 6-2 at home in the fog. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, that Dunfermline team won the league by a mile and then finished in the playoffs in the Championship the year after if I’m not mistaken. So even though they were a League One team by name, they probably weren’t a League One team by nature.16/17 - County playing United in the cup generally means County going out of the cup. So whilst we may have been favourites for the tie, I definitely mind squirming when that tie was drawn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebonce Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I went to the u20s match on the Tuesday before the Valentine's Day win vs Motherwell that turned around that 15/16 season. De Vita and Gardyne played. The first team squad was filling out a lot at that point and the rule of thumb was the first-teamers in the Tuesday u20s match wouldn't feature on Saturday. Gardyne had been out for six weeks with a cracked rib so he needed to get some minutes in him. De Vita signed a fortnight earlier and hadn't played much football in the recent past. In the u20s match County's u20s played a 4-1-3-2 with Gardyne wide right and De Vita behind the strikers. Gardyne didn't do much but had a great game when he started against Motherwell and enjoyed arguably the best 18 months of his career from that. De Vita looked like a world-beater in the u20s and had an amazing beginning at the club in the first team, coming off the bench to score the winner against Motherwell. De Vita's form petered out by the end of the season and never really recaptured it again. I loved watching him play though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
central staggie Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Just seen that Hearts friendly game over in Spain(?) has been abandoned because of some fisty cuffs Got me wondering if we actually had a game/games at our training camp? Anyone know? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrie Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 De Vita like Sproule for about six months for us was absolutely unreal. At least his career at County didn't end with a wild tackle at Forres. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
