Tea and Busquets

That would be like swapping Susan Boyle for Rihanna.

We can never seem to break down Marvin’s low block. Queens are happy to sit back and let us put crosses in the box as they know Efe should deal with most of them. Quick tempo is required as is the possibility that we may need to go through the middle rather than out wide more on Saturday.

Always thought Williamson was a good player however having seen him against us for Partick earlier in the season, he was anonymous that day. Still a decent player when he turns up.

Based on league games alone, we’ve lost only 3 in 2023 - Dunfermline, QOTS and Edinburgh City. That’s 3 loses in 36 games. Quite unbelievable. Happy New Year to all Bairns Lets hope that 2024 is the year!

McGlynn saying post match that Spencer and Henderson had slight knocks but nothing major.

I actually thought Annan looked worse last week. They try to play their goal kicks short to pull us up the park but it never works. Two games in a row we really should have scored 6/7 but can’t complain. Two excellent performances against teams we’ve struggled against in previous years.

Compared to this stage last season, we’re 16 points better off with a goal difference of +33 compared to +14. Credit to every single person. On Agyeman, I don’t blame him today. He went past his man nearly every time but then it broke down. That’s simply down to a lack of game time IMO. He was tearing it up when he played consistently.

Outstanding professionalism again from the team, coupled with some excellent passages of play and goals. Keep it up in the second half this time please

Big performance and result please. Hamilton will win at Edinburgh so must win game to end the year. COYB

It was clearly an excuse to get the Cove game off with the form they were in IMO.

I can’t see this game going on. You’d have to imagine the pitch would be frozen underneath this snow too and it can’t be cleared. My guess is that there will be a pitch inspection at 1.30 and called off.

Really, really good performance in awful conditions. Should really have been a 6 or 7 but really good team display. With the position we’re in we now just need to focus on ourselves and no one else.

Let hope and pray we don’t have any serious injuries because that’s all it takes for a drop in quality in the 11. Hamilton will know all about that with arguably their 3 best players all getting injured today. You could tell Longridge is a full back and not centre back as MacIver just bullied him all day. Think he would have had a lot tougher a game against Kilday. Stunning performance that had everything- quality, desire, grit, determination. Superb!

Be aware as well for anyone who has purchased an U18’s ticket the girls in the shop said they expect Hamilton to be checking ID’s. Doing everything they can to delay us getting in it seems.

Didn’t make the game as I’m away for the weekend but managed to watch on tv. I can’t echo the comments more about the referee. It was a penalty on MacIver and yet he gets booked. The bookings were an absolute embarrassment and if the referee really believes these were yellow cards he needs to be put out his misery and asked to get another part time job instead. My biggest criticism today was not taking our chances. That should easily have been another 4-1 or so. They had one chance and scored. Pleasing to get the win when Hamilton drew but they usually perform well the week after they drop points so we need to be careful. Beat them and Cove in January and it’s ours to throw away.

I mean it does look like we haven’t even tried if that was the pitch at 10am.

Think it might suit us more if it’s called off IMO. With their recent form at the moment and then having to travel down on a Tuesday night should suit us. Would rather it went ahead mind you but don’t see it.

There is no way in hell Cove are coming down here to be as open as Dundee United were. Hartley is a arsehole but he’s not stupid. They’ll make it difficult for us and try and hit us on the counter IMO. We have looked a lot more solid this season, that’s clear for everyone to see which is massive as when you take a game like last night you always hear people high up in the game saying “if you can’t win the game, make sure you don’t lose it” and that’s exactly what we have done, so far. Imperative in my opinion that we strengthen in January as IMO we need to win the league. I wouldn’t fancy a two legged tie against Cove (or Montrose for that matter) as it’s a lottery. League results and positions go out the window.

Yeats’ most difficult game this season was against Montrose when he was up against Lyons. Bisland I feel would get terrorised by him so would need extra support from Morrison. It is a worry, but we should focus on our attacking threat which IMO is the best in the league. You score 1, we score 2 approach.

Could Cove become our biggest challengers? Must beat them next Saturday IMO. Knock hopefully a little wind from their sail.

I’m a bit younger than some on here, but for me the best defender I’ve ever seen for us was Darren Barr. A great player and a superb leader.

Well done John McGlynn. Your recruitment has been 10/10 this season. I worried when we lost Kennedy but I actually think Miller is a better player. Playing championship teams seems to suit us as they don’t sit in like teams in League 1 do. Also, the team was spot on. Play full strength last night then rest a few against Formartine for the trip to Montrose on the Tuesday.

I put today’s shocker down go McGlynn’s team selection. Goal aside, Nesbitt was awful. No idea how he got man of the match. Morrison was also very poor. Kept coming short, not going in behind and just really disappointing. We looked much better when Alfie and Ross came on. Miller should have stayed on instead of Nesbitt too.

Is Lewis our bad luck charm ?

I heard from a St Johnstone fan who volunteers at the club they were looking at McGlynn, amongst others. Don’t know if he was just at the wind up or not.
