A practice before next week's park the bus?, albeit not entirely appropriate for this cup tie against the bottom team. Think we'd all settle for a point next week using similar tactics.

Agreed! It was just a random thought over brekkie. Let's hope the Hamilton slide continues, to our benefit.

If we turned up at celtic, minus a few key players and performed like we did on saturday, we're more than capable of shipping eight.

Haha, if only! It's the weans. They wee blighters take up too much of my time!

Apparently now playing Aberdeen Fri 19th Feb, moved for TV.

I have a memory of him taking a free kick from about 25yrd towards the jags fans and thinking he must be a free kick specialist considering he had just come on. Belted it over the bar, and most certainly wasn't a free kick specialist!

Anyone know why Aberdeen are only 6th on that form table?

Liam Lindsey is raw, but I'd have him any day over Seaborne. Big Dan is mince.

Stevie smith cynically crocks lawless from behind after he's released the ball, then two foot lunge in the far corner 2nd half. Compare that to the bookings we get, and frans red. And then theres higgys two elbows, plus semi elbow/hand smash in front of the JHS. Dire decisions as usual.

So Did we rest doolan ahead of this winable duo of games? Surely its games and sharpness needed at this stage and not a rest? Will we deploy the same personnel (where possible) sticking to similar formation, given the 3 league wins last season? The back 4 picks itself id say, stevo back to play in front of our best 3 in the middle, meaning either lawless or amoo with doolan/pogba up front. Or (shudder) will stevo get the nod to lead the line again? On to killie, 10 losses from last 11, apparently woeful thus far and only 3 shots at goal in two games. Likely to be pumped by celtic ahead of playing us. Difficult to judge our start given the way things panned out, but the next 5 days will give a better indication. I'm looking for a 4 point haul, 6 with a bit of hope/luck. Mon the jags!

How bad was gary fraser? Ran like a carthorse. Acted like a petulant schoolboy. Played like he's chucked it. Utterly abysmal. Oh, and seabo was just as bad. Followed closely by another 6 of them. A shameful performance.

Let's keep the same defence for a few games for starters. Despite the gloom we were rarely troubled yesterday, although stewart would have caused more problems than heffernan did. Gals in goal. Banzo has been pants, but was more his old self yesterday, especially 1st half. Played with more energy and purpose and got his obligatory booking for a tackle from behind. Keep him in beside osman or fraser. The decisions all surround our attacking shape and personnel. I'm not sure what is most effective for us right now? I do know higgy hasn't kicked his arse in months. I'd keep him on the bench. I'd have stevenson in the team, but that likely means only one of dools or taylor up front supported by stevo and 2 'creators' wide. Alternatively, let's go direct through the middle and forget wide play. In which case 2 up front with stevo and lawless/mcdaid in behind backed up by banzo/osman. Given our dreadful crossing, maybe playing directly through the middle (on the deck) can force the game, commit defenders and allow more meaningful shots, whilst opens up the occasional stampeed from SOD and Booth. Every team expects us to play down the sides, let's surprise someone. Starting with county.

"No reason I can't have a decent enough career here" Inspiring stuff.

Aaaaaaahhhh MY EYES F***ing abysmal performance.

I was thinking similar during the game, he does seem to draw fouls with the way he plays, and often bad ones. Genuinely gutted for him, hope its a just a simple sore ankle knock.

Bottom of the fair play table cos every time we breathe on a player the ref gets his cards oot Oh, and banzo and higgy are dirty bassas who account for about 50% of the cards

Very well organised, staff were great at ensuring late comers got their soup etc and didn't miss out. Well worth the money and as stated, probably still decent value even if it was £10 considering the free match day programme included.

We often fail in this league when there's an air of expectancy, so roll up for the win at caley! Let's hope we can be the fake thistles bogey team this season.

I like to think I'm a reasoned fan, but my goodness that was utter garbage. Fox needs dropped immediately - uncommanding and won't leave his 6yrd box Muirhead never at CB again- too slow, too lightweight, looks nervy, powder puff Seaborne ok - looks solid from the intermittent appearances. Injury prone? Balatoni ok - honking beside muirhead. Potentially good with an experienced partner Mcmillan ok - solid, but gives little going forward Carroll jury out - positioning shocking (or instructions shocking), no confidence going forward Osman ok- didn't come off for him today Bannigan ok - tried but can't do it on his own Stevenson should be freed - slow, lazy, unfit, uninterested, unwilling Lawless ok - best today, lightweight but was a menace and gave all Higgy ok - we're lost going forward without him. Pray he's fit quickly Doolan ok - looks peeved and low in confidence Elliott ok - poor today, effective in specific role only Eccy ok - jurys out. I don't think he'll cut it tho Gallacher in goal Give keenan a go at LB or move mcmillan and recall SOD, drop stevenson, (fraser back hopefully) play anyone but muirhead at CB should seaborne get injured Give duggan the odd outing up front Lastly, and it may be unfair, but I reckon stevenson is not only cack but is unwanted captaincy/presence is festering negatively through the squad. Meh

Sorry mate - really appreciate your comment but - you honestly can't read that?

Here's hoping, but I'm plumping for 2963!

What's the chances of more than 3000 on wed night? I'd say slim. If hamiltons crowd is pitiful (which it is) then what category would approx 1000 more at firhill be? If it's that low of course.

Nearly greetin at archies message. Red n yella aaaarrmy!!!!

In my opinion the acoustics of the main stand are worse than the NS, plus the main stand also visually marginalises a support. The (excellent) main stand is also a shithole.

JH season ticket holder. Email sent confirming renewal withheld until decision reversed. This farce affects us all and im disgusted by treatment of ian and dave along with the contempt shown for all jags fans.
