Shaka Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Bit of a mugging but we took our chances. First goal looked a fair bit wind assisted. The Caley lad Cole was lucky not to see Red for a studs up,2 footed leg breaker. Caley had a lot of play but we defended the box pretty well. Blocked a lot of shots and got heads on a lot of crosses. Overall great to win and great to see McHugh back. Hopefully that means we see the last of Lasley in a Well shirt On a side note, I was in the main stand wi the 4 for 40 quid deal, and Caley have some real roasters for fans including such classics as Clueless Screaming Lady ,Mr Tactics, Mr GET IT UP THE PARK and Angry Sweary Old Guy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzyB Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Our second goal tonight oozed quality. Great control and pass from Clay, Moult holding it up and playing a great ball over the top for McDonald who did what he's done so well his whole career and got his body in between the man and the ball and finished excellently. Moult battled and battled tonight, really wanted him to score. As said at HT, Heneghan was quality tonight, and McHugh fair put himself about considering the injury he had. Great to see Faddy in that big raincoat embracing the players and clapping the 'Well fans at the end, definitely a future gaffer. Also special mention to our fans, absolutely superb all night and didn't stop singing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Sounds like we were lucky......Inverness had most of the chances and hit the bar and the post. Still take it though. Yes, we'll take it. By all accounts though Inverness had some good fortune too. Did Ainsworth not hit woodwork and Cole was seemingly lucky to remain on the park. A very important result for us which will ensure we're not bottom at Hogmanay irrespective of the result at Hamilton. Credit to the management and players. Great to see Carl McHugh return and last a full game. A huge sigh of relief from me. Safe journey home for our fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Often a battle up there, but our record in recent years hasn't been too bad. Would have settled for a point. Delighted with 3. Another 3 againt Accies would be a nice way to end the first half of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairhill Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Listened to the commentators talk for long periods about many things, so that shows how interesting the game was. Sounded dreadful! But the points are ours. Think the club should give free tickets to all those poor souls who went up the A9. I know how windy it can be around the ground up there, and that wind dominated the game by the sounds of it. So let's hope there is a plan to beat the Accies as they are still a team that can beat us. Nice chance to build a buffet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wellarmy Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 apologies , I'll go and ask everyone to shut down their instant social media accounts and focus on a discussion forum maybe a group email would enhance the match thread?

GazzyB Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Really bad tackle by the Caley boy. Also Samson's flap towards the end is awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Important win in difficult conditions, could probably have gone either way, let's carry some of that luck into the Accies game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Blues Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Really bad tackle by the Caley boy. Diabolical - way worse than the one Vardy got sent off for the other week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superward Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Two good goals. Clay's is definitely a shot but may have got a wee boost by the wind. Not sure.. Still a stoater though. The second was great. Brilliant pass from Lucas, good run then cross from Moult and Skippy still had a lot to do but tucked it away well after holding off the big defender.Unconvincing defending and keeping for the Inverness goal.Hopefully should breed some confidence for Saturday and boost the fan numbers a little. A win could provide a very nice end to a frustrating 2016. EDIT: Just watched the 2nd goal again. The outside of the boot pass by Lucas is smashing. More of the please!

steelboy Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 That could be a big three points for us come May. The second goal was excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Conditions looked difficult but for Caley's goal it really ought to have been keepers ball from the corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Clay's is definitely a shot but may have got a wee boost by the wind. Not sure.. Still a stoater though. From the way it was portrayed in the media I thought Fon Williams had Clay's shot well covered until the wind gave it a horrific swerve or dip. Neither set of highlights show this although the angles weren't good. From the admittedly limited evidence I tend to give Clay a bit more credit - however significant the swerve or dip was, it was a damn fine shot.

daver Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Great 3 points. Anyone know how McHugh played on his return or how serious Cadden's injury was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Always been a believer that when it's windy you shoot on sight. Take advantage of the conditions. Glad to see we did that and got a break. Moult's play for the second goal was excellent - as was Skippy's finish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 From the highlights, Samson appeared to have a decent game I thought. He didn't hold anything, but at least got it to safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellowell Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Problem with Samson is always rooted to line if ball in 6 yard box which will more often than not leak goals. Watched Leeds game last night and Rob Green must have punched ball out half a dozen times and it ended 20/25 yards away. This to me gives defence confidence if near goal he's coming for it which is the opposite of Samson as shown with caley goal should have came and punched that away as in 6 yard box but rooted as usual.

weeyin Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 I would never point to Rob Green as an example of good goalkeeping as that guy is liable to implode at any time. However, the defence is a unit, and if Samson isn't going to come off his line, others need to deal with that. I mentioned in another thread that Jim Leighton made a career out of never leaving his 6 yard box or catching a cross. His defenders knew that, and Big Eck and Willie Miller took care of it instead. Of course, that was a particularly high quality defence, and I'm not pretending ours is as good, but there is no reason we can't adopt the same approach. I suspect it's easier to teach a defender to sit deeper and clear those balls than to teach Samson to catch them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
