Does Kamara need Davis or Jack next to him to be influential? Him and Aribo have been invisible. 

Thought the same. 

[Malkytfp1 18,594]

We have started poorly so many games this season. There is such a difference when we start fast as well.

Really don't know why anyone us surprised about Zungu.

[.Williamson. 82,178]

Confident we will win this. Was never going to be a pretty game, just need to get a few more shots away 

[Henders82 537]

That was a tough watch! We need to be a lot less passive, they look like an amateur outfit just chasing the ball.

Onus is definitely on us to get the ball down and play through them.

[CR3 12,681]

Cant say I’m too surprised there’s a lack of urgency with a midfield of Kamara Zungu and Aribo but this needs to be a lot better second half.

In fairness to Aribo, I think he is more like a player who can create a piece of magic in the final third, not a midfielder to grab the game.  I just think we are being overrun in midfield because Zungu just kind of lets the game drift by rather than grab it by the scruff of the neck like a Davis or Jack.

[GaryMc 2,394]

Zungu off and hopefully never starts again.

Get Jack and Davis on for some drive and quality.

[Darrenmt7 656]

Got the team selection wrong I get he wants to give players chances but can't leave out Jack and Davis  

[Moody Blue 9,349]

Woefully poor in the final third, Itten playing up there himself and, very rarely, do any of the midfield three offer support to the front.  All seems to be safety first rather than go for the win. This team are bottom ffs. 

[MurrayWilson 3,381]

Poor first half. Again. Thats 3 games on the bounce the first half may as well have not have happened.

[Mols94 3,669]

Davis for Zungu

[BLUEDIGNITY 33,647]

Needs a bit of guile and creation. 

[CoplandStandBear 995]

We did the same against St Mirren in the cup putting in players like Zungu and Itten and it backfired.  Go full strength every game, there is no excuse for not performing better against a team we beat 8-0.  

[AljayBoy 2,298]

Pretty poor game, only got into trouble with a slack pass from Goldson.

Think we'll still win so no panicking.

Changes needed. 

Midfield is non existant, need to change it at HT can't just hope it improves. 

 

It won’t improve if he leaves it like this. Complete slog

He doesnt need them but having a shite player in Zungu next to you cant be easy

Does it make it harder for him to find space, control the ball and pass it on his own?

He’s tidy enough but offers fuck all going forward. Doesn’t enhance the side in anyway at all. Should never be starting in a game like this 

Even when he is tidy though, there is just no intensity in his passing or controlling the tempo in his play.  He just kind of swans around keeping possession.  I always feel like he slows our tempo down and takes a touch too many when possible too.

Been thinking that for a good while. 

Yeah , hopefully he changes it . We've no creativity , so hoping we'll see Davis sooner rather than later. 

[GersInCanada 7,775]

As miserable a first half as I can recall. Couple of long range efforts and that's it.

Gerrard is going to have make some changes.

[cascadeshrimp 1,455]

The goals will come, no way can Accies keep up that press for 90 mins

[KingKirk 25,633]

Joe Aribo is never a cm next to zungu we are playing with 9 men 

[Monkey Butler 23,020]

Totally forgot it was a 12 o'clock kick off. I'm a shite fan 

[SIRB_72 4,000]

I feel like at times we're moving the ball well in the final third but lacking that penetration. The 3 behind Itten are making passes to runs he isn't making. 

Roofe for Zungu and lets go and get a few goals!

[Ivybank 4,580]

As most predicted with that midfield, 

hamiltons tactics excellent

get Zungu off , he offers nothing

mcgregor once again saved us
