Would not be surprised at all if you got a result our players aren't very good and have completely chucked it. And they all seem to get injured so probably end up with 2/3 on the bench again.

Hopefully the last time we'll see a lot of this squad and manager at this club. Need a massive clear out.

Fyvie is a very good player and if he was in a team like Falkirk you would all be saying the same! When he's fit he's usually our best player. Injuries and playing in a dreadful team haven't helped him recently but still a very good player. Our only consistent threat from midfield.

Connell will be fit. Megginson missed the the last game but wasn't said how long he is out for and Burrell went off injured but like Mitch wasn't said how long he's out for. One fit striker isn't great though.

Connell in for Megginson Suman in for Demus

Lineups are out. Only 3 outfield subs for us again a massive lack of options if we begin struggling or get an injury

Injury news from cove match preview. Yule out with his injury back training but still out for a few weeks. Matty Shiels out for this game after getting injured last week. Sena is back and will be in the squad.

Teams at home have the advantage in these games both teams have poor records at each others grounds. Just going off first searches I get for these games so could be wrong but heres the teams record at each ground Games at NDP 29/10/22 Hamilton 4-4 Cove 8/4/23 Hamilton 1-1 Cove 29/7/23 Hamilton 2-2 Cove Cove 4-3 on pens 5/8/23 Hamilton 1-0 Cove 13/1/24 Hamilton 2-0 Cove Games at Balmoral 3/9/22 Cove 2-2 Hamilton 23/12/22 Cove 2-0 Hamilton 4/11/23 Cove 1-0 Hamilton

Wouldn't be surprised at all if Morrison overtakes Burrell. Burrell's not scoring much recently got 3 goals since the new year and the service for him is poor so don't expect him to go on a run like he did earlier in the season.

This should be close we need a win for our playoff hopes and Hamilton will be wanting in the best possible form heading into the playoffs. We'll need Fyvie to be at his best with Mitch and Rumarn taking the chances they get and the defence will be tested a lot against a good Accies attack.

Only really played when we had a few injuries once we had most of our squad back fit he was on the bench and wasn't subbed on a few times. In his time playing didn't impress at all which was surprising as I thought he'd be decent.

Not bothered about it in all honesty thought he was poor in the games he played and I don't think Hartley rated him too much either few times he was on the bench and didn't come on only times he played we had a few injuries.

Kelty will be fine impressed me on Saturday and unlucky not to take anything. Stirling I think will grind out 1 or 2 results to stay away from playoffs so I think it'll be QoS or Annan . QoS always beat us and everyone beats Edinburgh so they'll get points from that but can't see where else they get anything but 6 points could be enough although I suspect not. Annan are unpredictable so not really sure what will happen with them could be good could be shite

Hasn't been mentioned in any Cove stuff about him being injured or suspended so he probably has been sent back or something similar to that

Kelty are a good side and it's been two hard fought 1-0 wins away there this season. Defended well. Bal made some good saves and Mitch took his chance after a brilliant ball in from fyvie (showing his class again). Can't see us taking anything from Accies last time we played them still annoys me so slow and afraid to attack despite a man advantage for 20 minutes. If we defend like we did yesterday we'll give ourselves a good chance

If you play like that more often you'll be fine was impressed by you but we defended well enough and took our chance. You need to get that bavidge back on form for you .

Team news from the Cove match preview Yule and Sena are out and a few others have knocks so decisions on them will be made closer to kick off.

Will be a difficult game this. Both of these teams defences are poor so I'd expect a few goals to be scored. Both teams are on poor runs and should be looking to put an end to that on Saturday. So hopefully we'll see two teams going for it.

That was embarrassing and you'd think after that we'd get better but we really haven't. Slightly progressed after that but 2021 onwards we've not gone forwards not gone backwards. He's bottled every big game in the six nations & world cup. Been in charge for 7 years now and his time is surely up. Decent group of players who need a proper coach to hopefully see us challenge the good teams.

Watford sacking Valerien Ismael was coming for a while will be interesting to see who they bring in . Tom cleverly Caretaker manager.

Has to go we were embarrassing today. Been abysmal since he came back. I hope he does the right thing and resigns but we all know he won't.

Lineups for today

I agree with that although would be harsh dropping Darge as I think he's been very good last 2 games but I understand why you think that would work could be any of the centre halfs for Connell imo

Just seen the team news on the cove preview Blair Yule is still out but other than that Hartley has a full squad to choose from

Can't see you getting Gallagher think he'll be given more of a chance to impress with us. maybe Dajon but I suspect he'll have better financial opportunities from other Scottish clubs maybe or back down south.
