I'm a man of simple tastes. I'll be satisfied if we score more than we let in.

We've won our last two league games - they huvny! Hopefully come FT tomorrow, that'll read 3!
8 goals in those two games too so we're definitely having no issues finding the back of the net. As cliched as it is, you've got too fancy that any team we keep a clean sheet, we'll win - especially with Sparky in the form he is.
A win tomorrow would be huge as we've got a tough run of games from now into January - no reason we can't do the business!

Tough one to call. Need the fans to be patient but hell will freeze over first.

I think our wee curse of not being able to win 3 games in a row will strike again tomorrow against a Hamilton team who'll be desperate to get back to winning ways so they can keep tabs on Dundee.
Hopefully the boys prove me wrong but I think we'll struggle. 1-3.

Another game where we just hope we score more than we let in. We've got a chance though. We're on the up and they've been a bit down. Plus, they've not got Stevie May banging them in this season. |

Pretty much have to agree with his comments; both teams tried to play; we had the better of it & deserved to get a winner but failed to knock it in. Ref tended to favour Accies, giving them fouls but ignoring the same offence the other way & allowing them to steal yards every time they had a throw in

If Bobo had scored instead of rattling the post that was goal of the season right there. Poor crowd but good atmosphere. The drummers along the far end can get it right sometimes it seems then.  |

Quite awful conditions. Doesn't look like any more folk turned out. Less if anything, but maybe it was the weather? Was that the smallest away crowd this season?

Yesterday was just a farce really. There's was barely any play where the ball was fully under control.
It was just a case of blootering it up the park half the time and hoping for the best, so fair play to both teams for playing with a good, competitive, spirit and we should be glad no-one got hurt.
Agree that there was a fairly decent atmosphere considering the pitiful size of the crowd. Even the Hamilton fans were making a fair bit of noise, on occasion.
Would've taken a point before the start but disappointed not to have won, but in they conditions it really was a lottery.

Wow for that game to be played at all is indicative of how much work the grounds staff have done.
Well done all those that attended.
Are our players too focused on the ball at times? There was an incident in the second half when their keeper came miles out of his box to make a challenge on the right wing. It was clear that he was going to slide in for the tackle and if we had a Swareze etc it would have been an easy sending off.

Should've won the game, in all honesty. I can't remember Accies having a meaningful effort on goal the whole game, whereas we created a couple of really good chances. BO'B should try shooting more often, I'd forgotten how good a shot he actually possessed! Really unlucky to see his effort come out off the post in that position, from where I was sitting I thought it had went in off the inside of the post for a second. Shame not to win but the crowd was the most disappointing aspect of the day - 794 is surely our lowest crowd on a Saturday for 10 or more years? Fair play to everyone that turned up.

Fair play to everyone that turned up. Absolutely! Terrible conditions for everyone involved! There has to be questions asked about the sanity of Scottish football and the people who are in charge. If there "cunning plan" is to destroy the game then their marketing plan is brilliant, put on a game in the worst of weather conditions, and ensure that that there is pleanty of opportunity cost benefit alternatives, (other things you can do with your time and money) on at the same time. Surely the regularity of teams going bust is enough indication that much is wrong with their current plan. |

As cliched as it is, you've got too fancy that anytime we keep a clean sheet, we'll win... That'll teach me then, eh?! One of those games where I'd have settled for a point before the match but feel like it's two points dropped come full time. We played really well and took the game to them in the second half. Pleased to see Denholm start and i think he put in a good shift and probably merits a wee run in the team. In saying that though, again I was impressed with all three subs when they came on - Wilkie, Jimmy and Burchill. Burchill and Barrowman linked up well together and Jimmy and Wilkie added some bite and extra energy late on in the second half. It did look like Keaghan, Sparky and Scougall all come off with injuries though so hopefully they're all fit and available for Queens on Saturday. Tough wee run of games coming up now - QOTS, Raith, Falkirk and Dundee. We picked up 4 points from a possible 12 in our last games against those 4 so an improvement on that would be pleasing. |

Surely the regularity of teams going bust is enough indication that much is wrong with their current plan. I agree that the current marketing strategy for Scottish football as a whole is completely inadequate, but the clamour for summer football seems a bit naive for me. Yes, it'd be nice to watch games in the sunshine as opposed to the pishing rain, but is there any actual benefits to it? As far as I know the only leagues in Europe who operate a summer season are Ireland, Norway and Sweden, with Ireland being the only one in recent years who switched from winter to summer seasons. A quick look at this page would seem to suggest that there's been very little, if any, boost in attendances. Also, your point about clubs going into liquidation is largely unrelated to attendance figures, seeing as the two clubs who have gone over the edge in recent years, Gretna and Rangers, went tits up due to their own greed and financial foundations made of sand. |
