Hamilton on saturday

[Pacman1903]

Last year we lost both games at Hamilton.
I think the pitch is a factor to be honest.

So why does every other decent and above team win there then. Don't hear them moaning about it. They just beat them

Last season there was only one other team to lose twice there and that was the utterly dreadful Caley Thistle and what happened to them again?

The pitch is an excuse for being sh@te. When its in fact either poor prep or we are sh@te or both

When did we last lose to Killie out of interest.

You can't compare the Kilmarnock pitch with the Hamilton Pitch.
Both are artificial yes, but they are of different composition and installed at different times as well.

A quick google pulled up Scott Brown lambasting the Hamilton pitch as opposed to the Kilmarnock one.

‘Hamilton is one of the worst. I don’t mind the Kilmarnock pitch. When it’s wet, you can move the ball and pass it quite well.

Different players react / play / can't play on differing, such as Steven McLean who does not play there.

We were susceptable to players running at us.
Not sure Kari and McKenna enjoyed playing on the pitch and having to turn so quickly.
So its maybe not the best for our set of players on that pitch

So why are we the only team with such a sh@te record then. Its got to be poor preparation.

Scott Brown goes down and leads his team to victory all the time there so he can moan if he wants because his team has done the business like everyone else usually does

Remember the Killie pitch last season. Absolutely f@cked because of those black balls. It wouldn't went even when sprinkled. You could see them scatter when the ball bounced and it didn't give a true bounce either. It got lambasted week in week out on sportsound and sportscene. We still won there there though

Come on Pacman min, you can't compare Hamilton with Kilmarnock.
They are two differing teams with differing sets of players with differing ways of playing.

Focusing on Hamilton away, I've shown we have a poor record there.
Are you suggesting we repeatedly prepare poorly for just them?

The correct thing to say.
Challenge the team to perform despite the pitch

[Aldo1983]

In their last 4 home games they have been beat by Celtic 4-1, hearts 2-1, sevco 4-1 and drew with Patrick.

Must be the pitch then.

Kilmarnock have drawn with us, Celtic and SevCo all away from home.
They just prepared poorly against Hibs, Ross County, Motherwell, Hearts (at home) and Celtic (at home)

Maybe, just maybe, its a number of things (Players, Pitch, Preparation etc)

Do you not find it funny other teams manage to rack up points there but we don't very often.

Kilmarnock have been sh@te for years and Hamilton have too so they are absolutely comparitable

[Aldo1983]

That 0-3 game against us should have been 6/7 with three wrongly disallowed goals and a clear penalty not given. If it's the pitch then how can one of his team's absolutely rip them a new arsehole there?

Or it could be nothing at all and just a complete coincidence. I remember one period where we were constantly beating Dundee away but could never beat them at home. It didn't mean anything, it was just random. A trend existing doesn't mean it's a significant effect.
