Huntly v Inverness Clachnacuddin

both teams now posted to the updates section

A better performance inight looked more dangerous in attack but the defence looks shakey and we were misplacing too many passes

yes agree

first half you could see the lads were trying to play fitba on the ground

we missed Ross McK on the right wing with his pace once he moved to back 3 Coco played well esp late in the second half got really stuck in


front 2 need to be closer together little flicks were going astray Ewen worked really hard throughout I thought got roles reversed Ewen coming short to bring others in when it should have been Ritchie and use Mikeys pace for Guildys or Soanes pass

JT found out that Reds is not a holding midfielder he did the job but feel he would have been much more comfortable in the back 3 but not sure who else could have played the role (much needed when playing 3 5 2) Grayser the man when hammie better

we Boother certainly showed good fitba brain when he came on


Rusty Dorrat didnt really get settled into things but jeez he didna have bury the goal cracking shot well done for a) hitting target & b) keeping the ball down


too many shots didnt hit tgt OR work keeper tonight


but good to get 3 points and regain some confidence roll on Sat .........

where was Andrezj tonight ??

THE MISSING BALL

We've just received a message
From poor old bankrupt Clach
Aboot a missing training fitba
They'd really like it back

Do we know the culprit ?
Not for us to say
But a certain Tango Baker
Left the ground withoot delay

The suspect is quite obvious
And soon he'll get the call
He cant resist the colour
Of a Tango coloured ball

was working late shift

First impressions of the new manager are very positive so far.
The coaching before the game and from the sidelines was very clear and very specific.
And it was all spot on in terms of what needed to be said.
The formation of 3 at the back with Redman holding I thought worked quite well although Myles needs to clear his lines more quickly under pressure.
The effort from the whole team was great and I think you can always put up with dodgy results when everyone has given 100%.
Guildy had a great game in midfield and Ross did well with his pace again.
Really looking forward to playing Buckie next Wednesday and it would be great to put one over on them.
But Fort Willie will be no push over on Saturday as the recent away game proved.
And we've started the drum roll for Big Brems

Last night the effort was much better from everyone.Sitting in the stand gave me the chance to listen to John during the warm up and the game.It was obvious that he knows the game and he impressed me greatly.Simple things were rectified straight away with a simple shout and the players responded well.Having spoken to several players they all seem to be impressed so far by John.Several players did well last night but we are still struggling in front of goal,players need to be greedier when in the box,on many occasions last night players passed when in the box.This must be a lack of confidence as strikers should be shooting at every chance.I thought David Booth did very well when he came on and he should get his chance on Saturday as will Brems who's kicking will be a huge asset to the team.Things are looking better for the future so roll on next season!

Have to agree with Martin about the strikers and if anyone should know about scoring he should - have a go instead of passing
As for Boothy certainly one to watch, wouldn't like him nipping at my heels all the time ! Think JT will play Brems and other players on Sat, surely he has to see all his players perform under match conditions

It was interesting to see JT take Mikey to one side during the first half.
''Be greedy and shoot..you want to score don't you ? !!''
Just one example of simple things being spotted and addressed straight away.
I'm sure this will improve big time in the next two games.
