Inverness CT chairman saying today that Club's cashflow is under severe pressure.

2-0 up 3 mins left. We can still win this!

That's a fair question Lenziejag, and I have no expertise that would allow me to make credible suggestions for change. However those on the bench last night are not the only options as you suggest. Also he has the summer to improve the squad and time for those curently injured to recover, both of which would allow a change in tactics.

Watched the game on TV last night so only saw what the BBC showed i.e. a fairly narrow view of the play. That said, we have become far too predictable as many others here have said. With the better teams able to nullify our wing play, Graham is effectively isolated. The best chances last night came from quick (forward) passes in the centre of the pitch. I'm sure Morton will have learned from last night if they didn't already know, and Saturday could be a difficult game to win. Even if we make the play-offs, the chances of promotion are probably equal to the square root of bugger all, and so perhaps the time has come for Doolan to show some initiative and change the tactics, probably in preparation for next season. That means jettisoning some stalwarts and strengthening the mddle of the pitch from the defence to midfield to broaden our attacking options. If that involves risk so be it: Doolan should now play the long game and prepare for next season. How he does that will be a good measure of his managerial abilities.

Given that the defensive set up is at the heart of our problems, would it not be possible for Doolan to get some advice and help from an experienced retired manager/player. I agree with those arguing that it is too soon to judge him, but the man is inexperienced and needs help.

We have as many passengers as the Jeannie Deans had!

Shocking defending - on a par with the refereeing. Floodlight robbery. Defence a disgrace and I can understand why Doolan stuck with Snedden for so long.

That's a disgrace - no reason for change of decision. That's 2 good goals chalked off!

As far as the result on Friday is concerned, we need to be clear on whether the new Thistle funding model will have any bearing on the result. Has the debate on here and within the Club affected players' performance in any way, and if so what funding remedies are available?

This thread does nothing for the cause of fan ownership.

What a confidence booster! Comes too at a time when Raith lose to a late goal. No dancing in the streets of Raith tonight!

For ****'s sake just stop this stupid shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Could this tiresome, pointless and seemingly endless discussion be conducted via private messages please.

Maybe the transfer window should be more about freeing up wages in loans or moves, than new faces. That would make Doolan take decisions and concentrate minds. We have a super abundance of slow midfielders with the result that every attack goes through Lawless or Fitzpatrick, and most managers are aware of that. The team is unbalanced. Sneddon has his faults but he is often hindered by slow-witted outfield players. Any blame lies elsewhere. Team looked really slow last night, both in movement and reaction times, and that was the greatest difference between the teams. Not sure that a defensive coach is the answer. As others have said we could do with a big, dirty central defender with a nippy central midfielder lying off him to create quick movement up the centre of the park. All these points have been made many times, and I struggle to understand why Doolan persists with some players who reinforce the team's evident weaknesses.

Merry Christmas one and all.
