Boyes away?

Welsh’s time with us was definitely coming to an end but he’s still a top player when fit and to let him go to a relegation rival mid season is very brave. 

["The ICT Thread - The Championship Years"]

Still early days but what a difference Nikola Udjur has made. 

["The ICT Thread - The Championship Years"]

Difference between Doran and Welsh for me is Welsh is still a top player. 

Maybe with this latest injury and his age, that could change

f**k me. Taking a striker and a winger off for 2 defenders is literally inviting pressure. We won but I'm pretty annoyed. 

If you're 3-0 up you keep fucking going, not sit back with half an hour to go. 

Couldn’t agree more. Almost cost us.

Thought Boyes and Anderson made a difference yesterday.Thought Gilmour had a good game as well. Definitely looked better in a 3 man midfield. 
 

Not convinced Brooks is ready physically to play through the centre yet. Would like to see him of the left. 

["The ICT Thread - The Championship Years"]

I think with the current squad of players it’s time for a formation change to a back 3/5 

Bar Shaw we don’t have particularly effective wide men in the squad right now. 

Changing to a 3/5 back would allow Davidson and Harper more freedom while giving guys like Delaney and Duffy more protection. 

["The ICT Thread - The Championship Years"]

Wasn’t impressed with him pre season but we need a target man type up top. Hopefully with full time football he improves.

["The ICT Thread - The Championship Years"]

Under the radar how good Cameron Harper has been recently. That spell in midfield made a huge difference to his confidence.

Based on this, our team for next season might be:

                        ?

Harper - MacGregor - Shaw

               Welsh - Hyde

Delaney - ? - Ram - Carson

                 Ridgers 

And presumably Dodds still in charge

Grim.

["The ICT Thread - The Championship Years"]

Saturday was a terrible watch. No real game plan or idea how we want to play then get bailed out by moments of individual quality. Sort of sums up Dodds reign for me. 
 

Also think it’s gone under the radar how good Billy McKay has been this year. Relegation fodder without him. 

[Caley v Cove]

Billy McKay was unbelievable today.

["The ICT Thread - The Championship Years"]

Right wing had been a problem position all season. Samuels was never a natural there and Shaw has never convinced. 
 

A new centre midfielder next please. 

["The ICT Thread - The Championship Years"]

If Laurence Bassini gets involved in the club it’s game over.

[MMA Thread]

Granted wasn’t a great fight but incredible ending.

[MMA Thread]

MMA is the best sport in the world on nights like that. 
 

 

[Inverness v QP]

Samuels definitely looked better through the middle but I’m not convinced he can play there by himself. Needs an Oakley or McKay to play off, especially against teams who sit deep. 

["The ICT Thread - The Championship Years"]

Would be pretty happy if he does sign. Different option to all the other forwards at club.

Hibs reportedly keen to punt Danny Mckay out on loan - any chance we might pursue that? I know nothing about the guy's background but does he have family or that local which might help influence?

Not for me. Similar player to Samuels.

["The ICT Thread - The Championship Years"]

Very underwhelming signings but not surprised.

I was saying much the same to @ICTChris last night. As much as I love Doran it was a little sad to see the game just pass him by after he came on last night. Arguably it could have been tactics as we went more route one but he doesn't influence games like he used to and it's hard to justify giving him a new deal.

Already expecting McAlear to sign for Ross County.

Still think Doran could do a job more central.

Priorities to sign for me would be: 

Right back (starter and cover)

Left back (Starter and Harper can cover) 

Centre Half (Cover) 

A winger or two (depending on length of Shanes injury and if Doran stays/goes)

And a striker or two 

I think a CB pairing of Deas and Devine would be pretty good, unless Harper improves defensively then we definitely need another LB in. 

 

Agree with that but add a starting CB to that as well. Deas will be away unfortunately 

["The ICT Thread - The Championship Years"]

Ye I would be happy to see all the first team players out of contact get new deals but equally wouldn’t be that disappointed if any left. 
 

Hoping the long term injuries to Allardice and Macgregor have maybe taken them off the radar for potential suitors.
