We were better on Saturday.  The same 11 deserve to start again and continue that improvement.  We all know the pitch is shit, we just need to ignore that and play our game, we’ll pump them.

They've not been very good at home this season so far, surprised they haven't complained about the pitch themselves 😂

3 points please United.

That's actually a good point.

They seem to be playing better stuff away from NDP.
 

Earlier in the season for most clubs away victories were more common than home, and although that's slightly changing it's still the case that home advantage with no crowds might not be any great advantage, although the Glasgow clubs are bucking that early season trend.

I'd like to see Louis Appéré getting a start this week, and perhaps Declan Glass as well as he excelled on 4G last season. However, I don't know who I'd rest for both, maybe Nicky Clark for one?

Also, I'm expecting to see Liam Smith back in contention this week, so Clark may miss out for him returning, with Logan Chalmers getting his position to allow Luke Bolton to go further forward.

Therefore Appéré or Glass starting is a pipedream.

No reason why we can't replicate the first half of the second half v St Mirren at NDP on Saturday?
Only 4G in the way?
 

Same team and same result hopefully - Cannot change it after last weeks performance.

Maybe make a few subs a little earlier depending on how the games going, would like to see more of glass is possible.

Same starting 11 as last week i think. Liam Smith on the bench?

With Freeman going out on loan you'd think Liam Smith must be fit again. 

Glass starting was a pipedream too.

We’ve been training on astro this week in preparation.

Simple isn’t it, Robbie..

"fitness and work rate takes you to new levels, and organisation on top of that" like that statement a lot.

​I have never understood why countless managers don't drive us (and other teams) to new fitness levels and athleticism when the benefits are tangible. There are hundreds of examples of smaller players who are excellent but take a look at the physique of 98% of EPL players, it's no coincidence. 

Same starting 11, quite rightly.

Brilliant team goal, super run from Chalmers

A very frustrating second 45 mins where we lacked urgency to put the game to bed, Nicky Clark missed a handful opportunities to score.

great ball in from Templeton for their goal but the marking left a lot to be desired Robson and Reynolds were sleeping.

 

I'm noting some posters only surface when we don't win, almost to gloat 

To the game, a point on plastic isn't to be sniffed at, but disappointing given the first period. 

From my point of view, MM made the wrong substitutions, and seemed to react to Hamilton changing their set up rather than replace players with others who probably now deserve a chance*. Our defence instead got worse and we handed the initiative to Accies.

* I'm thinking specifically Appéré for Clark, as an example.
