Hopefully keeping our best for them 👍

its impossible for us to be amazing every week.  We have been excellent at times this season but some games not so good. 

[Smile 26,600]

Helander and Goldson and even Barisic looked like they had never played together before.

concerning the amount of good chances we gave away.

We would have lost that against decent opposition. Defence was awful

[dee9 3,972]

Thats why we spent the big money on him......absolutely sensational 

[BillyG91 5,510]

3 points. i'm happy with that.

shame about the GD. we need to up our game. seems like it'll come down to taking points off them next month.

Those are the type of games we were drawing last season.

 

And despite the poor second half we got a better result there than the scum did because they only won by 1-0.   Points are the main thing.

The worry going into cup final in a fortnight is who you play on right of front 3.

My worry is Goldson horrifically bad

I think we are a good few points better off than this time last season.  It's been pretty damn good so far this season.

Only gripe really is that it was possible to go top and we didn't. But that's asking a lot even though it does happen. equal on points so all good!

Awful display.

Think we're gonna see teams pressing us high at some points in the game. We obviously don't like it

It should suit us as theres then more space behind the pressers. And we have players good in tight spaces. The problem is at times, such as today, we have little movement, little playing into a man running into space, it's all to a static player who controls and plays to another guy standing rather than on the move. There was little creativity and flair today thats needed to win harder games.

To them ?  We also missed far to many.

Yes the ones we conceded to them. A better strike force finish them tbh

45 minutes of torture just got forgotten 

That is a very good way to put it S. 

I said before three points was what we needed and now we have them, next game please.

3 points is the most important thing but how long do we allow players that are offering nothing or just simply playing awful a shirt every week?

Tavernier, Goldson, Aribo and Arfield are the main ones that spring to mind with a couple of others not far behind. 

A very tough month coming up and we can’t afford to carry these guys with performances like today. 

Defoe doesn’t get a free pass or the manager as his sub timings or pondering on them gave Hamilton belief, a team sitting rooted at the bottom of the table 

[Professor_Chang 1,055]

Cant be pretty every game  its 3 points.  After an international break you take it. We will be better

100% you just know we would’ve dropped points.

Picking up  3 points when playing poorly is what it takes to win leagues.

 

Absolutely mate. 

 

[shotstopper 765]

Cracks papered over.  Slow pathetic display.  Lucky to take 3points. Usual display after a break.  Once again I'll blame that plastic pitch which should never be used for professional football.   Happy to come away with 3points but we need to be better than this.

[BridgeIsBlue 66,604]

Played shite and still picked up the 3 points, will take that every game until the winter break.

Seriously tho play like that in a fortnight they'll take 4/5 off us. I wanna hear the manager come out and tell it as it is. Absolutely horrific today but job done

They won by 1 goal there so hardly a reason to think they are better than us

[gogzy 31,195]

How about Stewart getting a crack at the RW spot?

How close is Jones to coming back?

they arent rooted at the bottom of the table 

[Blue Rino 1,215]

Hard watch that at times though 3 points and onto next one.

Performance worthy of league winners.

Play shite but still grind out results. Keep it up and the league is ours to lose.

If we play like that against other teams we will drop points and the league will go across the city.

That performance particularly the defence isn’t worthy of league winners.

Take the three points and move on.

[bluenoz 30,689]

How can a player be a star for Nigeria and so average in Scotland?

Bad day at the office for Goldson & Tavernier (the latter is too common)

We must play Morelos as much as possible.

Nice to see Kent finally score

[Number5 2,109]

3pts is all that matters, but a really poor 2nd half showing.

Kent and Jack the only 2 standouts.

Aribo needs to take the shackles off. Plays within himself far too often, really fucking frustrating to watch. Arfields a man down at the minute and Tav had a stinker.

Still take 3-1 all day long.
