Killie1970 Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 We've had a bad start and expect to pick up at least a point next week against Hamilton. Problem is though, they're playing well, winning games and scoring goals. This is a huge game for us and it is in no way an easy game. I'm fearing the worst, unless we get some creativity, and supply opportunities for whoever is playing up front. Lee has his work cut out for him at training this week, that's for sure! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking along the same lines. They appear to be playing with confidence whereas we are playing a brand of football that should be outlawed! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killieboy1869 Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) We need points more than them. I'm ever the optimist and often don't learn my lessons but I really don't see us losing that one. Hope I'm not eating humble pie this time next week, but I think we'll win or stumble to an unlucky draw.

Trying very hard not to be negative but looking at current form and confidence, this game will not be the shoe - in certainty that a lot of us hoped it would be. I'd love for us to 'click' next week and pump them but I'm yet to be convinced that we are capable...yet! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this is the game where it will click. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigie11 Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Regardless of how they/we are playing this is a very winnable game. After a faltering start the season starts here & the fans who turn up must get behind the team regardless of who's in it. There are other sides down there also struggling,it's not just us. 3 points would give everyone connected with the club a massive lift before a few weeks away from Rugby park which I think will give the players more chance to settle down with less pressure on them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangodog Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 I would think Hamilton will see this as a very winnable game too. Where are the goals going to come from ? If Erwin isn't fit for next week we are dependent on Boyd who really doesn't look like scoring from open play. Ironically the away team has tended to do better in this fixture recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

historyman Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Very big game next week. We can't afford to go 9 points behind them even at this early stage in the season and 4 home defeats on the trot would be disastrous for the team's confidence. For once we really need to start the game well, the first goal will be important. If they get it then the players will be even more nervous and the fan's will undoubtedly get on their backs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scouser2 Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) If we can't believe we should be able to win this kind of home game , and Management and players are not capable of doing so ....then it is going to be a long dismal season ..... Just hope McCulloch will learn from mistakes made so far this season and select the right team and method of playing ....... Wilson has to continue instead of Broadfoot , think it's either Frizzell or McKenzie not both , Erwin has to start ahead of Boyd , would play either Thomas or Brophy in behind the one striker .....

mitch14 Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 By all accounts Accies were poor against Dundee but took their chances. Sounds like they were good today but against a complacent Hibs. We should go in with a "season starts here" approach. A good win with players in their proper positions sets us up nicely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestersKtid Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Benefit with the premiership outwith celtic and probably aberdeen is that every other team in the league could be amazing one week then pish the next. There's hibs 2 wins including one over rangers at ibrox then hibs it at home to Hamilton. Every team can beat every team and we should be looking for 3 points 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killieblue Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 We should beat Hamilton they are not better than us. However they are on good form right now. If we play a strong attacking side we should have a good chance. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi2 Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) Am expecting a win next week, despite their current form, though reckon it will be tight. They are usually a horrible team to play against, but we should have the players capable this time, of breaking them down. As said, hopefully retain the same back 4 from today, possibly bring Brophy in or have Thomas as the attacking midfielder. 4 points from the next 2 games would rebuild some of the last 3 weeks. Interestingly the St.Johnstone result can now be put into perspective, as they are flying, and are clearly a well established top 6 side. While a defeat at home against them is certainly still disappointing, it isn't a 'disaster', in terms of the position of the 2 clubs/teams at the moment. The Hearts game we should certainly have been looking to have taken at least a point however, as despite them getting a decent result at Ibrox they are still pretty poor. Today was obviously as expected, result wise. Had we beaten Ayr, (and then probably have got a more favourable League Cup draw), and at least drawn with, if not beaten, Hearts, things would feel very different. Shows how a couple of results can make a big difference. Could also of course do, with a good overall performance, to add to 3 points next week, to get the confidence back up a bit. Also crucial because of the International break which follows-don't want to be stewing for 2 weeks after 4 defeats. Hopefully the break does give Dicker in particular a chance to get back to fitness as well though. Edited August 19, 2017 by Jedi2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality is many of the new signings are struggling, performances have been poor, we have not identified an effective set up and style of play and we have lost our first three leagues games all of which were at home. There will be huge pressure on us next week to win, I hope the players can cope with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
