the positives from today Formation - being able to flip from 3-5-2 to a 5-3-2 works well Lamie looks much better as part of a back 3 S'OD much better further up the park We won the midfield battle. Long is much better as a front 2. I'll leave the negatives aka the second half

great win Must have been the worst half time team talk ever. Stop pressing lads, sit back and hold on - lucky that Hamilton are so poor

completely agree - its poor. We could have continued and scored another 1-2 goals rather than this dross.

second half is incredibly disappointing . No urgency, Playing for time. poor

Cole really needs to improve holding the ball.

what a difference this formation makes for us. Much better

thoroughly enjoy listening to Kirkie on commentary . He reads the game well and calls out some great points

we've started well, much better pressure

completely with you. This is the formation and players (who are fit) that I would pick. Enough to persuade me to shell out and watch the game

3-5-2 was the obvious choice with Roberts/Watt injured + we need to match them in midfield. Personally delighted to see a different approach

Campbell deserves a move albeit Im not sold he'll cut it in the Championship, Similar to Stevie Hammel in his earlier days in as much he deserves a crack at a bigger team , broaden his experience and hopefully return back to us in a few years time to see out his career.

Hamilton will play with a 5 man midfield and unless we change we'll go with 3 men, which will force too much of the play into our half and stop us getting the ball to the front 3. Easily solved if we go to 3-5-2

recruitment is tricky and even the best managers sign people who just don't work out. Tommy Mclean signed some awful players but had the knack of moving them on quickly. Personally I'd rather try and find better Scottish talent than always going the lucky dip of the lower English leagues but appreciate it's easier said than done. Overall a smaller squad and use the cash saved on wages to bring in a better quality than we've had.

truthfully I think Kelly is the one who behaves most like a captain. S'OD is pretty quiet on the pitch (As is Gallagher ) Appreciate giving a loan signing would be a bit odd , personal view he's a natural captain.

This feels very similar to the Barraclough era for me. GA has come in and helped us to safety - snap Needs time to replace some of the squad - snap Talks about the need to work hard, blah blah - snap lack of willingness to change the formation or adjust during the game - snap Bit like when we stayed up people are happy to give him the benefit of the doubt and see what he does next season

completely agree with these posts. 4-3-3- doesn't work. Would be easy to change to a 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 and get the most from players like S'OD, Long etc. We can all see it , the pundits on TV call it out but GA does nothing to change it week to week or in the game.

great pen from Hastie

I rather wished I did something else for the last 2 1/2 hours

suspect the rep thought we didn't deserve it

we don't deserve anything from this game.

kinky called this out early and thus far we've done nothing other than to bring on Hastie . Dreadful

I don't agree - he continually plays the same formation. He must be the easiest person to set up against and he doesn't make changes. Appreciate the squad has issues but its hard to be impressed by his approach.

its embarrassing for the manager - unless he changes it - how can he expect to win this.

Why we set up and kept a 4-3-3- when its obvious we need to get in behind them. 442, 352 would have worked. Not impressed with the players or our mgt team.

Joak Brown "were going through a poor phase on the game" Its lasted 80+ mins.
