Pasquale for King Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 4 hours ago, JTJ said: Hamilton are on a 5 game unbeaten run since Dylan McGowan signed on loan from Killie. He plays centre of a back 5 with another new signing Sparrow from Stoke (I'm not sure but he might have played in the pre-season friendly). Another loanee Dylan Stephenson seems to be doing well from them (like Connor Smith is doing, though he's unavailable on Friday) so John Rankin may be able to save his job by the end of the season 😁. I expect to win but they are not the same "Tam Kite" they were a few weeks ago Has no idea he was back in the country. Will be interesting to see how hes progressed.

Bob Loblaw Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 (edited) Only change I'd like to see is go to a flat back 4, get an extra body in the middle which could be useful as we'll likely have to play through them sitting back. Humphrys in for Shankland and start Grant IMO. Other than that, not much tinkering. Huge game and we can bring people on once it's dead if we play well enough to get to that point.

JTJ Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I see the Hamilton No2 is Darian Mackinnon, one of the people in football with few redeeming qualities. He started a rammy with the Dundee bench at the weekend and got sent to the stand but will probably be OK to stay on the bench for Friday. I imagine he and Jig are unlikely to see eye-to-eye at any time......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunny Munro Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 A draw that we should be winning. A cup run is so important. Need to remember 3rd place won't get automatic group stage European football unless one of the top 3 win the cup. So get past Hamilton, and hopefully a nice home tie in the next round with the OF also drawn apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markymark1874 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 We’ve got to play the strongest 11 available - can’t take any chances in the cup even against a p1shy team like Hamilton. Bag two or three goals then bring on fringe players but important to put the game to bed first. This is our only chance of silverware.

I agree, I don't think its the best for us and the players at our disposal. Especially the ones Neilson prefers to play. But it has gotten great results recently, so there is a case for sticking with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
