The incident was off the ball about 90 yards from where we were in shite conditions. It is understandable that not many at our end got a clear view. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A stuffy game that could have went either way but don't think we looked uncomfortable at any point and I think if Rankin made the right substitutions we would have sneaked it but we move on. Absolutely nothing from Hamilton gave me and fear either. Very safe, lacking badly upfront but clearly set up to stop us playing which Rankin did successfully. This is going to be down to not dropping silly points elsewhere, clearly the games against each other and injuries to key players. we have had our fair share so far but Nesbitt, Millar and a fit McGinn would boost our side. We just have to keep Spencer, Morrison, Lang and Donaldson fit. I would assume Hamilton without Martin, Kilday and Longridge would weaken them badly.

Maclver also made a challenge on Tumilty when the ball was already out of play. It was the forearm pushing macivers head into the turf which I was mainly concerned about.Longridge was always a bit of a thug when he played at livi. Always remember a horrific tackle on tom taiwo which put him out for months in a game at almondvale. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a sitting midfielder there's probably not many better defensively but there isn't much else to his game really . Zero goals zero assists so far this season. He's excellent at what he does though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I sat through the game on BBC Alba. I missed out on watching the world paint drying championship on the other side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertobotswana Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I don't think we have been good from about the QOTS match, yet we are grinding out wins and the draw against Hamilton. Even at Kelty Hearts (a game that is almost immediately forgettable despite the score line), we weren't particularly good. Oliver looked like he didn't get the memo that we've changed style/tactics from last season and that made him not ineffective but noticeably poor (compared to Nesbitt). Henderson didn't play great and I think he is one of the best improved players from last season (IMO), seemed to stop/start and where he usually is quite commanding in midfield, def wasn't this game. At the end of the day, it was a 'can't lose game' and we didn't. Still top and we weren't the first to blink, lets see how the next quarter shapes up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henderson's silly early booking was the obvious reason for him not being as effective as he has recently. He was skating on thin ice from the 17th Mon onwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best defensive midfielder - I agree. He offers very little going the other way as we saw Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Yep. Kelty were in charge between the 1st and 2nd Galkirk goals. The rest of the time we ran the show. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
