See in about 6 weeks time the league will either be over or we'll be slap bang in the middle of a title fight, the way its going just now we're setting up to let them right back into it.

I canny believe people like this exist

Folk think this is an overreaction on here don't understand that if we are going to win 55 how important it is that we beat teams like this.

We've been off it for weeks.

The likes of Kent and Aribo have been really poor and the sooner Arfield is back the better..

If they win there games before the old firm and we have one more slip they'll fancy themselves to be back in contention... 

No really... We could draw every single game between now & the end of the season and win 55!! Regardless of what the tarriers do in their other 10 games! So it is 100% an over reaction!

They might have dropped points on Wed but that from us will give them a lift. 
Our form is concerning 

It's done. 

They are shite and will drop points, we May drop points but we can afford to in 5 or 6 games without worrying. 

If this is the state our support is in at this point with this gap I'd hate to see you in a competitive season.

I'd say getting to the last two seconds of the game and losing that goal is unlucky.

We were lucky to draw 

[The Blues 375]

I’m glad big Cedric will get a chance again against Killie. He didn’t play well today but the service to him was awful. I think he is a good player and will show it.

[STEPPS BOY 73,890]

Away goals in league this season-

 

Kent -1 (first game of season at Aberdeen)

Aribo -1

Hagi -2

 

Embarrassing

Over the course of the game we were fortunate to get a point

Gerrard has to shoulder the majority of blame there. Has consistently underrated the challenge teams provide us domestically, and saved players for Europe.

Players should be good enough to beat Hamilton regardless though. 

Nothing wrong with giving some players a rest but why not start the likes of Roofe and Davis and sub them off when we are a few goals up? We can make 5 subs, use that to our advantage. 

2 points dropped and a poor performance from most of the team. Very dissapointing but it just delays the inevatible title win.

Kent plays as a number ten, we were a 4231 today were we not? 

I would be happy just to see Kent play.

Can't say Hamilton didn't deserve something from that game. They were really at it in that second half. 

Too many of our players under performing. Would probably have been a different story if Jack and Davis had started that game but hindsight is a wonderful thing. 

Not really hindsight, most on here said before the game it was the wrong midfield and it cost us 2 points. Every league game you  have to start with youre  strongest possible 11. Simple as that.

Itten did nothing wrong. The service to him was abysmal all day.

He didn’t exactly rip up any trees either. He’s getting praised today for doing the absolute basics.

At the end of the day he has looked far better coming off the bench than he has when he has started games and playing him and Zungu, who has also been unimpressive on the whole, was a risky selection which has ultimately backfired. 

It should have been our strongest team until the game was won and that means Roofe and Davis or Jack should have started.

[The Blues 375]

The fact we were actually winning the game till the last minute was a minor miracle after the way we played. On balance a point was a good result and Mr McGregor earned us it.

[bassettger 365]

Manager got team selection badly wrong I am afraid and more annoyingly left it too late in changing it. To leave that team in place for 60 minutes was poor. He really should have hooked a couple after 30 minutes. A draw losing a last minute goal was frustrating but I cannot argue that we deserved more.

We’re 21 points clear  

Even if Celtic win every game between now and the end of the season (including Old Firms) they’d still need us to drop points at least three more times in our other 8 matches (three losses - we’ve got more wiggle room with these draws).

The league is over.

Or, to put it another way, 10 games left, we will need to lose 5 (which will make us champions on GD) and draw 1 for us to lose the title. They have to win ALL their games too.

Bet my house, this doesn't happen.

i'd love if we scored 5-6 goals but we can't really expect that every game. there will be hard fought wins and shitty draws. we can't expect every game to be a hammering. 

We’ve got every right to expect a team with more desire to win, Hamilton fought harder all fuckin game.

We crumbled after Jan last season. That today was abysmal and it’s been poor for weeks - thank fuck the gap is decent because we are struggling at the moment 

[BearInTheToon 1,577]

The problem with today is that should be an absolute stick-on 3 points. There are far more difficult fixtures than this ahead, and we totally blew it. That’s the worry.

Questions need to be asked of their mentality, as they haven’t yet proven then can get over the line. Those need answered in the next couple of games.

[MattyBlue 17,113]

Honestly think we should hit some form again when European football starts again soon, think it makes us raise our game to our full ability playing in that competition and we can carry that form into domestic games.

Fully believe that’s why we’ve slumped in the league since last playing European games

Aye. You're one of the hysterical dicks in the match day thread that shits the bed if we're not 1 up after 5 minutes.

That starting 11 should be beating Hamilton let's be honest. 

[Glory awaits 284]

It’s about mentality, they are fighting literally for there lives, contracts with stipulations that you lose a percentage of your yearly wage if get relegated focuses the mind when it’s on the horizon. Our players on the other hand have done the hard work & just seeing it out
