January 16, 201313 yr comment_145968 A call off would be convenient for me. The road from Aberdeen to Inverness* is holding up remarkably well though. *as far as Inverurie. Report
January 19, 201313 yr comment_146138 very poor. if we don't get in any defenders before the end of the month then i'll never again listen to anyone who tries to claim our board have any ambition whatsoever. Why bother having any good players at all if we can't/won't plug the gaps in the squad? Report
January 19, 201313 yr comment_146141 Couldn't agree more mav. Difficult to say but from the commentary it sounded like we played some good football but caley were far more clinical. Report
January 19, 201313 yr comment_146142 Nope. We really miss Consi. Much more important to the team than Big Russ IMO Report
January 19, 201313 yr comment_146143 Just because it suits your running narrative doesn't make it so. Yes we do miss him. I'm certain we don't "3-0 to Inverness" miss him though. Report
January 19, 201313 yr comment_146145 started both halves well but caley bullied us. ref was a disgrace, everything 50 50 went their way and every foran assault was ignored Report
January 19, 201313 yr comment_146154 Just because it suits your running narrative doesn't make it so. Yes we do miss him. I'm certain we don't "3-0 to Inverness" miss him though. Are you deliberately trying to misunderstand me? I've said, several times on here, how delighted I am by Anderson this season, much better than I expected, and I have admitted I was wrong. All I'm trying to say today is that I think, now, Considine is more important to the team than Anderson these days. In fact I think he's possibly the most valuable player we have (to us) and losing him is a huge blow and, as a result, we will struggle. Report
January 21, 201313 yr Author comment_146205 Not hitting the panic button, hopefully just a bad day at the office but that was grim stuff. Firstly it looked as if most the team had spent their winter break living it up in Costa-del-san-migel. ICt were quicker and hungrier from the off. We created very little while even without have a decent attempt on goal early on the still looked dangerous. I would give Smith passmarks but that was about it. 2 biggest issues, of which there were many were firstly playing Vernon, somewhere vaguely in midfield again. Fucking waste of a journey and now we have more players back fit I have no idea what he was meant to be doing. Secondly, and sadly, Russel looks like he has reached the end of the line. He has been poor for a while now and Sat was another terrible performance. He more than anyone else is costing us goals and if we aren't getting a defender in then surely Joe has to move into the middle with Jack/Osbourne/Josh at RB. Report

Admittedly I wasnt there at the weekend but I get the impression its the number of games on heavy pitches that have taken their toll on Anderson. Fingers crossed we can give him a bit of a rest and he can get back to the standard he was at earlier in the season! Report
January 21, 201313 yr comment_146209 Even without attending games I know Anderson needs a rest. We have got a lot more out of him probably that anyone, including himself, would have thought. A Central defender is a must and it's doing my head in why we aren't actively doing anything about this (hopefully they are actually doing some behind the scenes). I'm not even going to bother watching the lowlights as even on the radio it sounded like we were woeful. Getting a top 3 place is a must this season, anything less is unacceptable given the quality of the other teams. Injuries or not, the only thing we are consistent at this season is being inconsistent (probably to greater extremes than other seasons). Report
January 21, 201313 yr Author comment_146210 I understand ICT were in training all through the break. No idea if true or not but certainly looked like it from our lack lustre performance. Poor decision by Brown imho Report
