Never seen the game yesterday but don't think I missed much.

Ronny obviously resting players for Tuesday but some of the players who were selected yesterday got yet another chance to show they should be in the first team and didn't step up - time to go.

Ronny has a bit of a rebuild job ahead of him. Our top goalscorer last season was a 30 yr old Midfielder who hasn't got off to the best of starts this season but that aside, the desperate need for 2 Centre Forwards (who are better than what we have) is criminal now.

Also if this was a few of seaons ago and we dropped points yesterday, there would have been mortal outrage. Don't think we should be treating our league games this way - not blaming Ronny but the lack of quality in this squad was very evident from yesterday's scoreline.

Did'nt understand anything about the Inverness team selection, RD should be trying to find his best team, and giving game time to the ones that need it, to get them ready for Europe, Gordon has'nt played a lot football in the last few years, I think the more game time he gets the better, he should have played the back four he's going to play on tuesday, the more practice they get playing together, the better, I have never been a fan of squad rotation, some of the last few Celtic managers seem to have been cursed by it, so what's going to happen on tuesday, is he going to play a completely different formation and just hope they gel together, I think he'd get a lot more out of Griffiths, playing in his normal position.

The most worrying thing was the total inability of Commons Pukki Griffiths and Stokes to convert simple chances . No matter who nor how many we bring in we will still rely on some of these players as back- up at least, through out the season

Did'nt see the game, but when I seen the team selection, was'nt surprised at the result.

I think Neil Lennon knew he didn't have a decent 2nd squad and now Ronny knows Aindoh.

Not even so much a 2nd squad but very limited in the changes that can be made.

I understand why he did make changes and he has given these guys another chance to prove themselves (which is fair enough).

From what I have heard of the game, we didn't look like scoring at all?

to be fair to the team if Bitons effort would have went in it could have been very different, it was a second string team and really looked it, but we have had a tough time in Inverness with a full strength team.
I totally agree with the selection it allowed some to play a competative match at a stage in the season where we can afford to drop points but not pick up injuries before the maribor game.

Watched the highlights again last night and we had our chances - as did ICT.
The wholesale changes were too much for a squad that is short on class. Commons scored plenty goals last term; Griffiths and Pukki scored a few too, but none of them look too clever so far.
I don't know if they are happy or just short of fitness, but we only have Stokes and Berget as alternatives and that doesn't inspire me.
The new manager is learning from his mistakes and needs the Board to learn from theirs.
We need more quality -and that doesn't mean loan deals.
