Match Thread Hamilton v Rangers - 13:30 Sunday - Sky Sports

[Calico Jack]

We seem to have the fear way from home and/or plastic pitches. It just hasn't gone away, has it?

The ball is so erratic on this surface, it's making controlling it difficult. Also half the players are struggling to stay upright.

Personally I think these pitches are absolute dug shit.

 

[Mr_Miscellaneous]

Looks like we're trying to get through these plastic pitch games without season/career ending injuries, not trying to win them.

 

[Damsidebear]

So so flat Rangers..

 

[Southsideblueblood]

Play like this against the sheep and we could be in serious trouble.

Screw the sheep. Don’t sort it today and there is zero chance of 55.

 

[GranvillusClutterbuckus]

Sunny day, but one helluva dreich game.

 

[gersandproud]

I don't think our players are comfortable upping the tempo on this surface -
Accies players seem able to up the pace - they're obviously more used to it

 

[Ruben Sosa]

The midfield has been a problem here, specifically the lack of any creativity from them.

 

[VMS]

This really is not good should be pumping teams like this

 

[Nerf Herder]

Where is the urgency?

We need a fucking goal.

 

[thornhill bear]

better build up there poor finish

 

[Prestwick Bear]

Morelos is getting fucking assaulted every time here.

 

[Cambuslang Ranger]

Hope i'm wrong but i can see more points getting dropped today

 

[Embra Bear]

Seems pretty clear our players want to be nowhere near plastic pitches.

They played alright at Rugby Park on a plastic pitch so it would be concerning if psychological barrier has appeared in the players minds since that game.

 

[wilso10]

We need to stop talking about the pitch as some kind of excuse.

Other Scottish teams come here and beat Hamilton quite comfortably FFS.

 

[dh1963]

Centre backs passing is terrible.
Midfield creating nothing.
Forwards losing the ball easily.

Champions need to win ugly, this has been very ugly so far.

A sign we might win would be good.

 

[Luthgibear]

Missing a player who can score from outside the box.

 

[Cooper_11]

We badly need some inspiration here. I’d hate to be going in level at half time. Or even worse if Hamilton managed to score.

 

[Superted 1872]

Dull

Wrong team

 

[CaptainCourageous]

The midfield has been a problem here, specifically the lack of any creativity from them.

Been non existent. Absolutely brutal.

 

[W*A*T*P]

Turgid stuff. Can’t seem to pass the ball properly on this surface

 

[Bazoo]

We need long balls fired up the park

 

[chrisgers]

Shockingly bad camera angle. The sun is shining right down the camera when Rangers attack.

How can you tell?

 

[Its-Sebo]

Players trying to up the tempo a wee bit now

 

[KensingtonBlue]

Don’t think the international break has done us any good, looks like the players have lost their momentum.

 

[BrooklynBlue]

Complacency and a generally poor attitude thus far. Really disappointing. The players need to earn the win rather than expect they'll be given it.

The pitch is no excuse.

 

[Crouchy]

Gerrard looks less than impressed by this pish.

It’s pedestrian.

Katic looks a different player. His confidence looks shattered.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Honestly think the performance here and at Livi are down to the Jamie Murphy injury. The players are scared to take the slightest risk.

 

[Calico Jack]

I genuinely thought you were fishing with that.

33m before I noticed him.

Say no more.

 

[Chris01]

Katic is having an absolute mare

 

[WATP_74]

Katic having a nightmare so far.

 

[Cooperfan]

Dundee are bottom of the league and have taken more points away from home than us. No wonder if we're going to put this effort in. Really need bollocked at HT.

 

[Flyfisher]

Don’t know whats up with astroturf we played in gravel every week and didn’t complain

 

[Discophrenia]

Get a goal and this is in the bag.

 

[Recoba]

katic distribution has been terrible

 

[Sasa-]

Katic has been horrendous. Worrall will be back in soon enough if he keep this up.

 

[ChiefOrbo]

fucking why shoot there lassana

 

[Clay Davis]

This has last minute Sadiq winner written all over it

 

[TN8]

Katic passing has been fucking brutal.

 

[Jaws II]

Katic is like a nervous kitten today.

 

[GranvillusClutterbuckus]

How can you tell?

He’s the cameraman.

 

[dawhitey]

Blame the pitch as much as we want but our attitude has been rank rotten..its like a training exercise..Katic is rotten and kent looks like he doesnt want to be there and shift any kind of leg..

 

[Damsidebear]

Katic not coping well with this surface at all, he's been poor.

 

[McQueen]

Giving the ball away far too easily.

 

[Moreloslaces]

Hope i'm wrong but i can see more points getting dropped today

I don't think we'll lose but it's screaming out a shite draw.

 

[BWO]

Katic channeling his inner Karl Svensson today ffs

 

[causewaybear]

Spell out of the team seems to have done Katic’s confidence.

 

[Airplane]

such a tight park and they are sitting in

 

[Hammerinho]

Groundhog day, this has been fucking gash

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

They played alright at Rugby Park on a plastic pitch so it would be concerning if psychological barrier has appeared in the players minds since that game.

Key thing that happened in that game was the Murphy injury. It's had a psychological impact, they're all trying to avoid the same fate.

 

[VMS]

Like a fcking first division game,Need to score before half-time
