Match Thread Hamilton v Aberdeen

[V for Vendetta]

Fair enough, a win, but of a performance and 3 points

 

But Hamilton are shite tbh, the new few games will be a much better measure of this team.

[Yorston Vasey]

Aye?

 

Who else has won there this season?

 

Do you know?

Queen's Park.

[shut up meg]

Aye?

They have beaten Kilmarnock and Livingston, drew with Hibs and lost to Motherwell, Celtic and Aberdeen at home.

Not exactly a fortress!

Parity has been restored I see.

Forgot we were even playing. 
 

goal from a set piece? Standard

Not as if it was just a ball lumped into the mixer to see if Cosgrove or a centre back could get on the end of it. Might even be a  contender for goal of the season next May.

[StandFree1982]

Much better. Created plenty of chances and kept a clean sheet. 

 

Anyone saying Ferguson shouldn't be anywhere near the starting 11 needs their head checked. 

[1903Fitba]

Apart from Motherwell it feels like it’s been a while since we scored from open play. Might just be my memory like.

Think the issue with Ferguson is he probably needed a break but McInnes is reluctant to give him one. That two game suspension came at right time. Great goal last night.

Not exactly a fortress!

 

Also drew games there against :

Partick, bottom of 2nd league.

Queens Park, who are 2 points of the bottom of the 4th league.

 

Tough venue.

[RUL]

Have to say movement for Lewis Ferguson goal was excellent.

[old sheep]

Not a surprising result as it sums up exactly where we are as a club. Miles away from the ugly sisters and marginally better than most of the rest. Good enough for the happy clappers but stale and boring for the rest.

Sunday was an indicator as to "the measure of this team"

 

A bunch of useless shitebags and it's going to take a lot more than wins over dross like Hamilton, Kilmarnock and Ross County to change that perception. 

[NEM]

Aye?

Nobody cares Millermong

Aye, Hamilton are nae great like. That much was also obvious last night. 

 

As much as it was good to get the win, along with some decent football at times, you have to temper it with an acceptance that we were playing one of the weakest teams in the league. 

[DaveTheDon]

Wasnt bad. Wasnt great.

We looked dangerous when the ball was on the deck and McGinn was a threat most of the night.

Reverted to long balls later in the second half which Cosgrove couldn't do much with. A striker playing off him would have got onto a couple of his flick ons and potentially put the game to bed. Baffles me how our management team can't see the same.

[Big Hat Logan]

Momentum?

 

Supporters are becoming disinterested.

You don’t speak for everyone btw. You must be raging that we didn’t lose. Utter weapon.

[herouali]

As I thought earlier in the season - playing Bryson and Ojo lets Ferguson get forward more - we've missed this the past few games.

 

Not the best of games, Hamilton typically sitting in deep, us resorting to long balls, but a win is a win - particularly at a ground where our record under DM has been poor!

 

Onto Saturday.

 

COYR!

[shooftahmooftah]

Mcinnes doing his great escape act again. He could be related to Harry Houdini. But as Houdini found out, too many escapes killed him.!!!!!!!!!! 1-0 not excited about that performance.

[DelMonte]

Good goal from Ferguson but that defending is absolutely shocking. We shoukd have had a penalty. So should they.

 

If this is the level we are at all season then it's going to be a long one.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

On grass Id agree but on thon surface with nobody there take it.  Next two are both bigger tests and on grass so no excuses.

[KRS-Don]

Hesitate to say it but I am actually eagerly anticipating the return of big Gash Taylor, he has an error in him no doubt but I feel like we are seriously lacking anyone aggressively attacking the ball in both boxes at the moment.

For once last night we actually got a huge amount of quality crosses and set pieces into dangerous areas and other than Cosgrove hitting the post, did sweet fuck all with them. Would have fancied Ash to get a goal last night if he was on the pitch.

[aberdeen1970]

He'll be playing alongside Considine at this rate in January.

 

Unless Hoban comes in to replace the inevitable departure of McKenna

[Clydeside_Sheep]

Decent performance and result, bearing in mind the level of opposition.

 

Should have been much more comfortable, I would almost have bet on us conceding a late equaliser, but good we didnt.

 

if we can beat killie at the weekend, we will start to put a bit of daylight between us and the rest. This will be welcome as it looks like we will be challenging for 3rd place.

 

I was delighted / amused to see the BBC describe St johnstone V Hearts as a "relegation tussle" - in October! :laughing:

Next 3 games I believe are Kilmarnock H, Ross County A and St Johnstione A. A great chance to pick up 9 points as Kilmarnock missing a few this week also so we can hopefully move into 3rd place and we won't be to many points behind the top 2 if we do win these 3 games either.

[DelMonte]

Their keeper should have saved the goal too actually

[shut up meg]

Thanks

 

So, this season they have only lost at home to the top team and the 3rd team

 

I think you see my point now

 

I do get your point however they have lost 3 out of 6 games at home, not exactly a fortress.
