It was David Robertson for me, the leaving I could get, but his choice of club, never!

I just read that the Forest manager us under real pressure already, with fans calling for him to be sacked. What with playing in a red strip as well it will make Scott feel like he never left us. ?

Barry Nic Deek and Darren Young Derek Stillie?? Rickie Byrne Gary Dempsey Craig Brewster Stevie Crawford Was Scott Thom(p)son not with them at that time too and of course managed by Mr James Calderwood. Hard to think they were paying more in wages than us at the time, worked out well for them in the long run though...

On paper they should have buried us, but we didn't disgrace ourselves. Always had the feeling it was a training game for them, but do feel we should have changed things earlier as always a chance with one goal in it. European games aren't for me, too much of a distraction for a limited squad and I'm not one for caring about generating extra revenues. now we can get back to the bread and butter of league duty and get back to winning ways up at Dingwall on Sunday

Aye, strange he came into the side off the back of a very poor 3-0 defeat to Motherwell and then left the side before a same scoreline defeat against them. DM is in the EE saying he will not be getting money to spend from the deal on a replacement, but I think with Taylor and Devlin as the two replacements for him at this moment, it could prove very costly not to replace him or at least try and do so, as big boots to fill.

I think McKenna has probably been the one player who has saved McInnes from getting punted, without him the past few seasons I wouldn't have imagined us being as half decent as we were, as defensively we were shyte, but Scotty was the difference. Even though he had a few bad games, I reckon a lot of time he was let down by his team mates and we also forgot at times that he was still young in defender terms and still learning. I still think he will improve as a player, but I'm not so sure he is destined for the very top, but certainly of a higher standard than our league and can see him in the EPL at some point and glad he is not going to Glasgow. Forest are a club who seem to be in perpetual crisis, but hopefully he can be a great addition for them and goes in to prove himself and earn us a sell on fee. I'll never forget sitting in the Merkland stand that day he scored that screamer against Killie, what a hit that was. Best if luck loon.

I think whilst watching on Alba that Motherwell had their tactics spot on today. Taylor didn't have a great game, but I do think it is hard when you change players at the back and we have seen over the years it has never helped us chopping and changing things, but I would say Taylor has never looked comfortable in a back three. I still reckon we are not that bad a team and putting it down to a bad day at the office.

Indeed, watching on Alba the moment and we look far better at the back with Hoban, but nonetheless we will miss Scotty as he gave us a presence at the back. Hopefully Hobans injury problems are behind him, but knowing our luck, once he signs a long term deal....

Back down to earth with a bump this afternoon and I blame Elgin Don for renewing his ST and jinxing us. Clearly some of our second string players need shipped out as just not good enough, but easier said than done. Take it on the chin and move on.

Just catching up on the match thread and twigged something was up with McKenna, but hadn't twigged he was off. I like him and think he will do well and I think it will be a good move for him and is ready for it. I think £4 million if true is a great result for us, but we will need to spend some wisely to replace him. No way will we have a good season if Taylor and Devlin expected to replace.

We are also playing him in a position that suits him, which coupled with an extended run of games is bringing out the best in him and long may it continue. He certainly is a talented loon who can play a bit and maybe his bad injury has made him think about his career and made him come back stronger and more determined.

I can't see anything other than a win. Although they haven't had great form so far I still think they are a half decent team and they do give their all for Robinson, but I just feel we are playing well and looking a strong team with a bit of depth, that we shouldn't drop too many points outwith the ugly sisters games. I'll remind myself of this post when our bad run kicks in. :D Agree about not using McRorie on the right, a real waste in my opinion. 2-1 us Watkins & Wright

Another win, another clean sheet and two good goals worthy of winning any game. Would have been very harsh if McRories was judged offside and it probably would have been if in the SPL. If I knew giving up the season tickets was going to lead to this kind of form I would have done it years ago. I do wonder if playing behind closed doors is suiting a lot of our players. COYR

A great goal to win the game and would have been nice to have seen Wright take his chance and make the scoreline look better and was a great pass from Watkins to set him up. We just look a better team with more balance in the team, but need to score more, which I am sure will come as I believe there is goals in that team. Having Hayes back has been great, his energy on the park we badly missed in his 3 seasons away. Have we got an agreement to sign McRorie or is it a loan only? I keep hearing conflicting stories and even this soon in his time I don't want us to lose him.

Another win under our belts, can't ask for more than that.

I have to say that any agent worth his salt would have negotiated something in a short term term that would have accounted for injury during the closing games. I just think Fraser is a cock and I don't believe he would have saved them anyway if he had played. By all accounts he was fairly shit last season for them, I think he said as much himself. I hope he helps Newcastle get relegated.

Back to proper fit a today and see us keeping up the winning streak. 1-0 Hayes

He did come out at the time and say he had to look after himself to ensure his next move and couldn't risk an injury playing for Bournemouth. Not really a fitting way to leave a club who invested a lot in him over the years. I don't think Fraser is typical of most footballers and am sure most would have played given the circumstances at the end of last season.

Has he not moved his familyup now? I thought I read somewhere that he had. He has been a good player for us over the years, but i wouldn't go writing him off just yet.

I thought Bryson would have been a brilliant signing for us and I know the Derby fans worship him and the club did offered him a new deal, but was told he wouldn't be a first choice, so chose to leave and come to us as he feltl he still had plenty to offer. We should have been getting a player to enhance our midfield, but sadly it just never happened. I don't think it was a bad signing, just one that didn't work out to well for either party. I wouldn't class him with the other dross mentioned as I feel we just never saw the best of him through a combination of how we play and also the injury factor. I still reckon he will come back and haunt us at some point.

Not quite sure where folk are seeing how Sam fits into the team other than hoofing the ball up to him. Have occasionally seen him make good touches, but far too often his first touch is woeful, but just my opinion. Another good three points, but I think Hibs are fairly shit and were for the taking today. It might be to early to say this, but I think we have a very good player in McRorie, he seems to have fitted in to the team effortlessly. I think we were poorer in the second half as game management took over and DM was happy to see out a 1-0, but it was a fairly comfortable one and feel we didn't need to do that as would have loved us to have made a real statement on the park today, by turning them over by a few and were more than capable of doing so.

I watched Sportscene last weekend and Hibs were lucky to get the points at at St Johnstone, but cannot help but feel Jack Ross is very much like McInnes in his approach to games I see a tight game between 2 teams who will try and cancel each other out across the park, although they are poor defensively and theiry goalie is shit, so would like to see us attack them and not sit back. Fancy us to sneak it with a Watkins goal and keep the winning run going.

6-0 is never to be sniffed at regardless of who it is we are playing. Players got a run out. scored a few goals and build up the confidence. Possibly the injuries to Cosgrove and Main mean we have to play a different way, which may help us get more out of the squad. Winning has never really been a problem under McInnes, but hopefully this season we can combine winning with playing a better style of football. Bring on Hibs.

Just saw the Wright goal on Sportscene, I enjoyed that, nice bit of play between Hedges and Wright and a great finish. Be nice if we see more play like that this season as easily have enough quality in that squad to play like that more often.

Good three points today and glad to see Wright get a goal, as have always liked him, but has never really happened for him so far, but I do think he is a good footballer. Looking at our bench we have a silly number of midfield players and would hope to see a couple moved on with Campbell out on loan for a season and give him much needed game time. Good to see McRorie doing well in his first two games for us, long may it continue.
