[Matchday] The 9IAR Champions v Hamilton | Sun 2nd August result 5-1

Elyouniussi has been quiet but Jesus Forrest has been a complete passenger.

 

Creeps me out.

 

Insane to blame Bain for that.

 

there were 2 deflections but i still agree.good start though.HH

 

Need Ntcham on.

 

Thats impossible AC Milan are gagging to * £20 million on him....apparently.

 

We've looked quite good on the ball; but off it, we've been worrying. They are such a tactically and technically limited team with a few big, strong boys, aggression and long balls and we've struggled a bit with that. What happens when we play Aberdeen or the Huns who are equally aggressive but with a bit more about them tactically and technically.

There's work to be done IMO.

 

ooh comfy bras advert

 

Yeah I'm still not happy defensively. We're great at going forward but we definitely leave ourselves open when all our back line piles forward. Guess I'm old school, but I'm reminded of Brian Clough saying "I pay you to defend son, not run forward'. But anyhoo it's still all good.

 

I'm happy with that. We've been positive and got into good positions.

We aren't looking too great at the back though. Hamilton have had a few good chances.

Can't blame Bain for that goal.

 

Christie is going to have to up his game or he is going to find his starting place in the first 11 being taken by Ntcham.

 

Continuing his half arsed performances on from last year can we hurry up sell and get someone else he will not be missed

Use an Adidas sock pal

 

This reminds me of his performance against the huns at home when they beat us, he will be even worse imo because there’s no fans to hound him into actually doing a bit.

 

Forrest is the one who should be hooked.

Plenty of options on the bench no need to change yet

 

Solid going forward, wee bit sluggish in defence, and can’t blame Bain for 2 deflections. Good start but can see us scoring at least another 2 second half

 

Jamesy had a * first half along with Christie.
Frimpong , you have to love that kid

 

Bit of an iffy half..

Given Accies too many chances and ball in our half and our defending from middle back has been poor..

Can see our defence don't trust Bain much..

Ajer has been hideous losing men in the box. Trying fancy flicks that were never on in the box and taking too long elsewhere..

Need to up it..

Positives are the way we broke for the first. What a move that was and at times we've passed it well like the second as well. Set pieces we've looked dangerous with almost every single one..

Frimpong has destroyed them
Taylor 2 excellent deliveries
Mo is just class
Eddy that first touch for the goal before when it was waist height
Christie been quite good..

 

Clearly lacking sharpness but still dominated most of that half. Front 3 struggling to get going, Ely, Forest and Eddy in and out of the game. Most of our attacks are coming from Crimping and Taylor who has had 2 great assists. Their goal, as flukey as it was with 2 deflections, I think Mcgregor could have done better closing the shot down. Defensively we really have only had corners to defend, we need a dominating figure in there. Wool a bit vulnerable when corners come in. 2 more goals and It will be a good afternoons work

 

Send O’Neill down to kick * oot him at half time.
