Fan Opinion: ICT fan Cameron Fraser believes club are at lowest point in their history
Life after Billy Dodds marked no change for Inverness Caledonian Thistle who fell to a painful 1-0 defeat against Dundee United after a stoppage time winner.
Despite the tangerines being reduced to 10-men after Ross County loanee Jordan Tillson, the Caley Jags failed to seize the opportunity and slipped to yet another loss.
Season-ticket holder Cameron Fraser (27) attended Saturday’s match believes that the current run marks the lowest point the club have been on in their sub-30 year lifespan.
“I believe this is probably the lowest point we've been at in ICT's fairly short history as a club.
“We've seen other clubs similar to us have a similar fate (Dunfermline, Falkirk etc) Where if you're not careful, you can easily drop down into League one.”
Discussing the result, Cameron believes that the Caley Jags did not deserve to lose the match, but individual errors again cost the squad.
“There were a few individual errors yet again that could have cost us goals if United had their shots on target, but overall I couldn't say we played badly and we didn't deserve to lose.
“I was fairly happy with the performance, United were certainly not at the top of their game and they squandered many chances and should have buried one or two.
“It was poor defending that cost us and we've lost so many games now (9 in the past 10 games) that you just become numb to it.
“Looking at the table each week now becomes even more grim.”
Cameron also believes after the recent run of form that the call to sack Billy Dodds was the correct decision.
“ I wasn't immediately in the Dodds out camp like others were and I could at least understand the reasons why we extended his contract given the high we were on after the Scottish Cup final and the decent performance we put in.
“But losing the past 9 out of 10 games is absolutely unacceptable, the final straw for me and for the board it seems like was the Raith game.
“I remember us being on many bad runs of form before but we would always get a result against Raith (the famous hoodoo that kept getting brought up) but the fact that we lost was actually a sort of barometer to show how badly the situation was becoming.”
Ahead of the announcement of a new manager which is expected this week, Cameron admits whoever takes the helm has a huge task on their hands this season.
“We really do need a miracle worker who can turn this squad around.
“Whoever does want to take on the managerial role deserves a lot of credit as it will be an extremely difficult task to get this team onto winning ways again.
“While i don't have a firm pick, I'd be happy with an outsider of sorts and someone who if announced you would think "This could actually work."
“This season is quickly becoming about survival rather than getting promoted.”
