Everything tells me that, unless we carry on from Tuesday night, we should at least get a draw from this one. Pitch has to be of a better standard than Tuesday night which will help. We'll need to keep May in check though (same was said about Taylor before Tuesday right enough), he's got a decent scoring record so far this season.
One thing, our players need to know who is supposed to be playing up front though, at times on Tuesday it looked like there was no one playing the strikers role - almost a 4-6-0 with Russell and Morton/Mullen both dropping into midfield at the same time. Well that's how my old eyes saw it anyway.

That's a bit strange is it not? It's almost the end of February and we've only played Hamilton once so far this season. And the second time we play them it's at their bit, again. So with only 13 games left to go this season we still have to play them 3 times. I'm sure there's a world somewhere where any of that makes sense.

Expecting a tough game especially if we play like we did against falkirk.
They have a boy upfront, Stevie may, whos been banging them in so we'll have to watch out for him.
I heard that talbot was disappointed not to even make the bench on tuesday night - be great to see him back tomorrow.

Always gutting to lose a last minute goal!
I think though that we can't begrudge Hamilton their point as it wasn't the easiest of games on the eyes and, at times, seemed to resemble a pre-season friendly there was so little passion on show.
The ball was hoofed left, right and centre. Probably because the pitch was so rutted and bumpy.
A bit disappointed tonight.

We seem to have lost our mojo just now.

Some people seem to think we're better than we actually are, in my opinion, with the support we have, we are about on par with teams like Hamilton our supporters numbers will dictate how successful we are.

Obviously disappointing to lose out on the three points with such a late equaliser but I thought on the whole, we were the better side yesterday. We dominated possession for long spells and worked our passes well but just lacked that wee killer touch in the final third to turn that hard work into a reward.
Such a shame to concede too as I though Mango and JCAGTL dealt with an in-form May very, very well and snuffed him out at most opportunities.
Tony has been one of our best players this season and he showed that again yesterday. Won most of the battles he ws involved in, moved the ball well and created some decent chances for himself and others.
Was good to see McNulty coming back - thought he looked really sharp and caused the Hamilton midfield and defence some problems. Another good sign to see Talbot on the bench - could definitely do with his drive down the flank as another option going forward.
A point away from home isn't bad and I'd have probably took that prematch. Now a big chance for three points this weekend and the Pars are within touching distance. COLTS.

Thought we deserved a win considering we kept May quiet for 90-odd minutes, and it's disappointing to lose a goal right at the death obviously. Seems to be quite a bit of apathy drifting in amongst the support in the past few weeks. So many moans and groans at the players yesterday with virtually no support whatsoever.

There's a wee spark that's not quite right just now. We dominated Hamilton and kept their lad, May, quiet for almost the whole game yet in the 91st minute he scores with what he's been quoted as saying was a complete mishit. Just our luck! It's been commented on elsewhere (and on here a wee bit too) that some of the shouts at our own players from some of our own fans were bordering on the ridiculous yesterday. I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would pay good money to pay in to a game and then spend the majority of that game shouting pointless bile at the very players they profess to support. Madness.

On our day we're one of the best footballing teams in the league. Most of the fitba pundits say this every week about us. Recently we have lost something, but am sure it will come back that's the joys of playing a lot of youngsters playing in the same team.
If someone said we'd finish 3rd or even 4th at start of the seasonI'd have taken that.
If we keep reasonable amount of the same players next year then we should be better.
I'd also like to see Danny Mullen being given a start.

The highlights make it look like they had the nost of the second half but I remember us being in charge for nearly the whole game. Maybe they just had one or two more chances than us in the second half. We certainly had more of the ball. Didn't do enough with it though, but that's another story.

Livi manager frustrated by late leveller
By CALUM LESLIE
GARETH EVANS was left frustrated with a stoppage-time Hamilton equaliser, as
his Livingston side came within seconds of picking up a
valuable three points.
Livi had taken a 78th minute lead at New Douglas Park thanks to Iain Russell, but
Stevie May popped up with 30 seconds left on the clock to secure a point for the home side.
Evans said: “We dominated the football match and had possession of the ball for most of the game, so to lose a
last-minute goal was really
disappointing.
“The way we played was excellent. They sat off us and let us have the ball and we knew that it might just take one goal to win the game. Once we got it we maybe thought that was it – and that was possibly the problem in the end, but we have to take it on the chin.”
