Season Expectations

View attachment 263248

So despite winning the League and Cup we are not given any sort of a transfer budget and a minimal wage budget, None of our loan players are coming back either with Opare, Armstrong and Aarons all too good for us now!!!

And Roy Carroll has Retired ..... Not a good start to the new season

We Draw Red Star in the Champions League 2nd Qualifiers

View attachment 263246

So players in and out on July 1st included selling Bryan Ruiz for £800k despite barely playing for me but we brought in a left back in Aaron Taylor-Sinclair, central midfielder George Byers and GK Rybka.

Rybka was a brilliant signing or so i believed until i realized he hasnt got a work permit and wont be getting one any time soon!

Champions League 2nd Qualfying Rnd

1st Leg V Red Star

View attachment 263236

We absolutely dominated this match but it took one of their subs getting sent off before we could get a goal and it was last seasons Cup Final goalscorer Williams who got the only goal.

2nd Leg V Red Star

View attachment 263233

It was a more comfortable performance away from home 2-0 up but they managed to get a late goal for the end to be nervy but we saw out the result.

Champions League 3rd Qualfying Rnd

1st Leg V Dinamo

View attachment 263105

A brilliant result and performance away from home with Tansy getting the only goal of the match and a man of the match performance to go with it.

2nd Leg V Dinamo

View attachment 263104

It was a bore draw back in Scotland and we go through to the Playoffs with my only concern being Vuckic not scoring the goals like Armstrong got at this stage last season.

Inverness Draw Kobenhavn In Champions League Playoffs

View attachment 263103

1st Leg

View attachment 263102

Despite our Captain getting taken off injured after 8 minutes and then our LB getting sent off inside of 20 minutes we managed to come from behind and get a draw and that all important away goal.

After another poor showing i decide to sell Vuckic who has been the subject of quite a few bids in the summer and he joined Anderlecht for £3.5Million with a fee rising to £5.5Million over time, but i managed to bring in an experienced replacement.

Oscar Cardozo - ST

2nd Leg V Kobenhavn

View attachment 263100

We dominated the match back at our place with makeshift striker Christie getting the only goal before we then both had players sent off before the end of the match.

So with our little windfall i brought in another free transfer in the form of Dane Uffe Bech who can play a lot of positions and brought in Liverpool RB Ryan McLauglin on loan for the season.

September 2017

My injury luck with new signings continues into this season with Cardozo injured already!

View attachment 263084

With the whole Rybka unable to play thing and Carroll having retired i felt like we still needed a new Number 1 and when i saw this guy was available i had to ****** him up! Hes so much better than this level so i see this as areal coup!

Rene Adler - GK

So our only loss came in Europe against Napoli in a much tighter match than anybody in the Media was expecting whilst we won 4 straight in the league and beat Cowdenbeath in the Cup.

Top of the league at the moment but Celtic have a couple of games to catch up and could easily pass us in that time.

So it wasnt an high scoring month as we started the month getting thrashed by At Madrid before youth intake centre back got the only goal in our win against Hamilton.
We then only managed a draw against Hearts before beating Olympiakos in the European Cup and ended the month amazingly with two late goals sealing an amazing comeback victory against Celtic.

View attachment 260753

We started the month well beating Hamilton with a late goal before Hearts destroyed us 1-4 we then got back on track with a win against Hibs but then Rangers beat us in a topsy turvy few weeks before ending the month with an impressive win at Celtic which we desperately needed to stand any chance of staying in the Title race.

After that terrible month we are now 5 points behind Celtic with beating them in the last game the only way we are still in with a shout of retaining our title.

So we played Dundee Utd 3 times in 5 games this month as we won 4 on the bounce in the league whilst Dundee Utd took us to a replay in the Scottish Cup before we snuck past them in the replay.

League Table

View attachment 260486

Still 5 points behind with 10 games to go and i dont think we are going to retain the League Title we won last year with losing Aarons and Armstrong too much for our team to cope with.
