Neither Caley nor Ross Co are mugs teams and are huge steps up from the non league rabble we had in the first 2 games.

Ashdown · Jul 21, 2012

What exactly is wrong with Cody I've hardly ever been fit for City McDonald...........again !!??

sw88 · Jul 21, 2012

Getting heated with the Scots fans. Not impressed with some of our challenges, most of which are quite legit. Winning the ball but sometimes following through.

2-0. Long range effort parried by Murphy Into the path of no 7 who finds the net easily. More suspect defending by city

Lost count how many goals we conceded from murphy parries last season

For most of the game defensively we've been poor. Too many errors for my liking. Don't seem as gelled together today as we have in other games which is a slight concern seems this is most of our starting 11 for the season IMO. Going forward we haven't created much. Our best and only real chance has been the goal and it's lead up

sw88 · Jul 21, 2012

The edge almost caught out but Murphy saves easily

would you rather see brown or cameron over egje if wood goes

sw88 · Jul 21, 2012

ICT cut inside Clarke Murphy pulls off decent save. Consequent corner comes to nothing.

Decent ball put accross by Kilbane also comes to nothing up the other end

Cameron worries me when he has the ball at his feet and as we don't want to be playing long balls all the time I don't think he'd suit our style. Is solid though I'll give him that.

Brown may be too inexperienced to be thrown in alongside Malaga who will take time to know the league before he could take a youngster under his wing

dongonzalos · Jul 21, 2012

Hope our defence will be wood and Cameron and the two French lads as back up.

Unlikely though.

craigSKYBLUE · Jul 21, 2012

The team has only had 3/4 games .im sure it will fall in place by 18th august given we get a striker and jennings hopefully

sw88 · Jul 21, 2012

Decent long range effort by Fleck parried out for corner. Consequent corner headed over narrowly by the edge

DiveDiveWhereverYouMayBe · Jul 21, 2012

Everything I have heard about Malaga has been positive, what do you reckon our chances are of having a bit of a fans' favourite at the back again next season, sw88? Cheers for the updates.

Sub · Jul 21, 2012

3-1 owell

With a bit of tweaking, we may do,

The edge still needs a bit of tweaking as we've just conceded again and I think it was his man who was left unmarked.

3-1 ft

Jackoskyblue · Jul 21, 2012

Let's not forget its only pre season and Inverness are an SPL team so a similar standard to us plus a lot of the players are on their third game in 5 days

Chipfat · Jul 21, 2012

Worrying another late goal, it becomes a mind set!!!!!!!!!!

Pete in Portugal · Jul 21, 2012

Many thanks for your work with live updates - very much appreciated in Portugal!

craigSKYBLUE · Jul 21, 2012

Thanks for the updates sw88.

thechase · Jul 21, 2012

Losing 3-1 to a team almost starting their season with none of our first choice strikers, to be expected id say. The real tests start next weekend and beyond.

dongonzalos · Jul 21, 2012

Watch the video of the edge nick posted. It should be a video to highlight his strengths. However if raised my eyebrows about his positioning. Really hope wood is staying

Have you seen him play live or are you just going on a YouTube video?

Macca · Jul 21, 2012

If its any consolation we re not playing in the Scottish league next season

Lord_Nampil · Jul 21, 2012

They are ahead of us as there season begins very soon! Should we read to much into this?? I don't think so, we have new players joining us next week plus the return of first team players such as cody, cameron and deegan!

I think Thorn got wat he wanted from the games, match time!

DiveDiveWhereverYouMayBe · Jul 21, 2012

Yeah, we'll see on the Edge. The YouTube video seemed to show some qualities which indicated fans might take to him and, by the sounds of his performance today, there is still some way to go. It was only his second run out of pre-season football after a very recent transfer. Offered a three year contract, so you suspect he has shown some promise during scouting and on the training field. We shall see. We know that Wood is a very competent centre back and will do well in this league... but, if he is our highest earner and us getting in a striker means him leaving, then we appear to be on the way to having enough strength at the back (numerically, at the very least) to be listening to bids and considering who to bring in.

mark82 · Jul 21, 2012

I'm glad we've lost a couple. If you go through pre season without losing you can become complacent. I would be more worried if we lose some of the next few games against lower league English opposition.

Yeah precisely. Lets learn from what went wrong and put it right in training and in the following matches. It's all about being ready for the Dagenham game.

Glen · Jul 21, 2012

Does not look good for season though. Yes I know it's pre season but still

dongonzalos · Jul 21, 2012

No as I said, the YouTube video made to promote him. Lots of clips showing his positive defending. However when you watch it ignore his intervention and focus on his positioning see what u think.

sw88 · Jul 21, 2012

No worries guys and girls (just incase anyone who thanked me is female. Don't like to assume ).

Sorry for delayed response to the 'thanks' but we set off home straight after the game and I was up first for driving.

I think there are a lot of positives to come from these fixtures. Although it shows how diseaving the game is as we lost 1-0 to Ross County yet they looked a better set up than ICT who beat us 3-1.

Pre season is all about getting players prepared and I think the games have given us physical challenges. And today, we we're putting some meaty challenges in of our own. Much to the displeasure of the Scots which made them even better. Who said Scots were tough? They don't even like a meaty challenge or two (that said I hope their player recovers from what looked a nasty injury. Not heard anything on him since, although their physio did 'nod' when asked a question by ours so I assume his question was 'is he ok' and her response suggested yes)
