I certainly suspect the sheep might but think that may be down to their imaginary rivalry with us. I tend not to watch them eirher but read the match thread on BBC and it was clear that Hamilton weren't "parking the bus" and were attempting to play. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were well on top for most of the first half. The second half performance was poor. This season looks very much a 'more of the same'. I disagree slightly. It is concerning we didn't kill the game off but that was down to us not shooting enough (Jack not pulling the trigger from 20 yards), a goal line clearance and a great last ditch tackle on Aribo. I actually think we have a lot more movement in the front 3 this year as they're being more interchangeable. Also, Aribo is being more brave than last year. He's really driving into space when he gets the chance. I think it's different from last year because as we all know we were too side to side or didn't have a penetrable pass or run. I don't think that was the case yesterday. I noticed something we seem to be trying is a wall pass tactic. Midfielder plays it in to a front man who first times it back with a defender on him. Our attacker then spins out and one of the other attackers comes into that space to receive with the intent to turn in that space towards goal or play in the first attacker. With some fine tuning this will cause defences headaches. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell whether they can do it consistently. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of pressure on Kent and Hagi to fulfil theae roles at their young ages and as you rightly point out, consistently. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
