Ya Bezzer!

This. I mean Calvin Miller is probably ahead of Livingstone as a player right now but there is a reason for that, we've not played Livingstone. Bringing in Calvin Miller for 5 months on loan just sets Livingstone even further back and long term makes no sense.

McCormack in, Bowman out is a big step in the right direction. I just hope we don't have a similar situation to the Ciftci signing last season where the guy was so far off fitness it wasn't until the end of the season that he started looking like a player.

We've kept 3 clean sheets in 20 league matches. Even if you only concede 1 you still need to score 2 to win. So I think it is a problem, especially since we are lacking creatively.

Frear was our best player but it's hard to ignore someone who scores two goals, including the winning goal. Think I have to go for Aldred.

You never know, we might start playing a 4-3-3.

McCormack might be getting on and a difficult player but I'll take him over Wayne Grafter from Glipton Grasshoppers.

Deserved win with a much better second half performance. Was noticeable that we actually kept the ball on the ground in the second half and Turnbull coming on gave us much more composure on the ball. Frear gave us a ball down the left hand side and Campbell looked more like himself. Accies didn't trouble us much in the second half but I'll still slightly concerned about us defensively. Overall though a win and a decent performance to end the first half of the season. We should not forget though that we have a lot of improvement work to do. Hopefully the squad will get freshened up a bit and we get a some more quality in.

Good finish from Aldred. We've had a lot of corners but i think Accies have looked more dangerous coming forward. Defensively we've not been very good and Accies are cutting through us too easily. Midfield no real quality and the two strikers aren't really in the match. Similar to the last match, we've played worse but there is so much that needs to improve.

With all the serious head injuries recently I'm amazed I've not seen anything about wearing rugby style caps. And with the research into brain injury from heading a ball I think it's only a matter of time before some kind of head protection comes in.

He's played in 4 out of the last 6, mostly as a sub. There are loads of players in Celtic's inflated squad that get much less game time - Hendry, Scott Allan, Benyu, Compper, Gamboa, Kouassi, Mulumbu - so I don't see that happening.

Dundee are releasing players left, right and centre so they are obviously going to strengthen during the break. St. Mirren will do also, as a lot of the Stubbs duds drift away. So the Dundee and St. Mirren teams could be radically different on the other side of the break. Will also be worth looking at our performance against Ross County in the Scottish Cup, as it looks like its going to be 2 from 3 in the Championship of which they are one of the challengers. A win today keeps Robinson safe for another 3 or 4 week spell of fixtures but if we lose the pressure is going to be on again. We started with 1 win in 8, form improved a bit with 3 wins but since then we are 1 win in 7 so if we fail to win today we've ended the first half of the season in as appalling form as we started it and Robinson can't really point to any improvement. The lack of goals or even goal scoring chances created lately against fairly modest teams is worrying.

I think Hartley will be wheeled out over Maguire. If Turnbull doesn't make it exchange with Bigirimana. Other than that, pretty much.

Like I pointed out we have failed to score in 5 out of 7. I think we can take the risk at this point and find out. Maybe 2 or 3 months from now we won't be able to, or, if we are forced to, it's a bigger risk.

I'm not into scapegoating Sammon but let the facts speak for themselves. Last season Sammon scored 7 league goals for Partick and 3 of them were penalties. So while he may have scored more than Main I still don't think Sammon is the answer to our problems.

I said about a week ago, half in jest, that when he signed Sammon it was based on height stats rather than anything else. But he's completely unsuitable for the type of football we play under Robinson. He wants the ball on the ground, he's not a guy that wants to go into aerial battles, he needs the ball played in to him, not launched at him. Unless we radically change our style of football Sammon is a non starter. And if we want to change our style we need a completely different set up and at least a couple of new players.

Scott should have been given the last two games before the split to show what he could do. Main can't score, Sammon's on loan, Bowman is clearly leaving....it's common sense but our manager consistently makes these 'safe' decisions to the detriment of the team. As it stands we've failed to score in 5 out of the last 7. We could have a player in Scott but you'll never know unless you give him a chance.

So if a pay in fan comes in and asks where to sit. Do you tell them to wait until every person with a ticket is in the stadium and in their correct seat?

Well apparently there are going to be pay gates at the Hamilton which means it will probably be the same again. Neither pay in fans or stewards can have an encyclopedic knowledge of who is sitting in what seat. Confusion could easily be solved by printing tickets without a seat number. Why they don't do that you'll have to ask someone else but it's not the stewards fault. Under those circumstances they have an impossible job.

Tait.

He's an absolute bog standard Bottom 6, fringe level wide player but he IS a wide player. Playing him at least gives you an option we don't normally have. Not that I think Frear is a great player, see above, but I have said at various times I think we play better as a team with him starting matches. If we can bring in more/better wide players during the window, great, but at present, if you want to give us some width he's really the only option.

Kilmarnock could have scored 3, 4, 5 today while our first meaningful effort on goal was in the 87th minute. Was far from our worst performance recently but Kilmarnock showed us how far we are behind teams with good coaching and organisation. Curtis Main - we cannot continue to have players behave like that. Manager needs to get serious with these players who, it looks to me, are just chucking it.

Looked like a 4-1-3-2 to me.

Perhaps telling that while we've been comprehensively outplayed by Kilmarnock and barely had an effort on goal we've not been as bad as most of the recent matches. I think Frear has given a little bit of something but Kilmarnock are dominating possession. Bit unlucky with the goal (surely it was meant as a cross) and the injuries. If Kilmarnock get the next goal we can all go home but at 0-1 you are always still in the match.

Tried to get a formation out of that line up and then gave up.

True but we probably have a few more options at centre half than most other areas.
