Hendricks Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Regardless of the Isma speculation I think we can safely say that’s the final nail in Stockton’s coffin. No involvement when we are stretched like this, and it’s off to the English conference for him!! Love the way Levein is getting rid of / freezing out the dead wood.

Captain Sausage Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I imagine Levein will be having a word with the officials prior to kick off. Neither Irving or Cochrane have much on them and I would expect Craig will be pointing out that the usual dirty tactics of Imrie and MacKinnon in particular will need to be watched closely. We will see if that works out. If so, it nullifies the Hamilton way of doing things and we will win. If not, we will get overrun in midfield and we’ve not much of a plan B.

Absolute thug, concerned for the boys tonight. I trust in Craig but a very youthful team, hoping any transfer dealings will be concluded as soon as possible. 1-1 draw says the head 3-1 says the Heart Imrie would be better cast in Vikings than a football shirt.

PapaShango Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I’m pretty sure Levein knows his players and if they can handle the game. Remember Irving has been exposed to football at Berwick and will have come up against some cloggers there. Play football around them and we win. The young boys experience of playing on plastic might be crucial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hearts00 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I’ve just no idea where the goals are coming from in that team. Let alone the creativity.
