Thank you for that titbit. I rather thought that I might have to indulge myself with that rather coarse podcast (I can't bear out of context foul language) to avail myself with the return to business actualité. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsy Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 17 hours ago, Highland Capital said: One of the discussions on the podcast was in regards to the new right back. I recollect someone saying on an earlier Best XI that Mckay doesn't like playing full-back. I'd imagine Toshney isn't quick enough nor will stay fit long enough to make the position his own. I believe Sean Welsh played at full backs at times for Partick but we'd lose a lot by taking him out of the middle, same for Carson. Is Vincent an option? You'd imagine Carson and Welsh would be the first choice midfield partnership. Vincent played there in the cup final - he's seems athletic and skilful enough to link up with the midfield while going up and down the flank. He did play on the wing under Hughes but wasn't so effective but I wonder if he was played at full-back he'd be more effective linking up with the central midfielders. Vincent would probably be fine going forward but I'd be concerned about him defensively there, even as an emergency option. Not sure whether he has the physical presence or strength in the tackle to cope with any big, physical attackers, and as a right back he'd also sometimes be expected to provide CB cover or tuck in and act as an auxiliary CB, and I can't really see him having the presence to do that either. Agree that Carson and Welsh are likely to be preferred by Robbo in the centre if Welsh stays fit, and Carson looked pretty vulnerable at RB when he played there last season anyway, so I think that position's definitely got to be the priority if we're bringing anyone else in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Just come to my attention that the Caley Thistle Wikipedia page is an abomination. In the rivalries section it lists our main rivals as Aberdeen...and Clach! (Ross County relegated to third!) It also states that the Aberdeen vs ICT game is known as the "North Derby" (it isn't) and that games between ICT and Clach is called the "City Derby" (it absolutely is not). What a mess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Capital Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Has it even been announced where it's being played? I imagine it's being kept secret to stop a crowd turning up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can barely think of any games ever apart from ones involving the Old Firm and the odd Highland Derby that were all ticket in advance. You could even pay on the day for both cup finals as I recall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Capital Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I know you can't read too much into squad numbers, but I see Sutherland has been assigned number 11. Hope we aren't intending to play him on the wing again. He was always much better as a centre-forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I noticed that too. Hopefully he's just asked for that number. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt in his first spell with us he looked decent when he was played as a proper centre-forward. Butcher's preference for a big winger often rendered him ineffective though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
