What a disappointing performance after the high of last week.
Simon Mensing ruled the roost with Nigel Hasselbaink giving our back four a torrid time. We were as inept as Dundee United, maybe even worse.
Nick Ross was close to our best performer and Rossco was our most effective attacker. We never mustered an attack in the first half and Hamilton were first to every loose ball. The ref did not help, but it's not his fault we were diabolical. Jonny Hayes better get his finger out and we need to learn to keep the ball on the deck. Mensing mopped everything up, like taking candy off a baby, we made it far too easy for him.
To the goal. What a stonker. No sooner had we settled in to our seats than Dougie cut across our defence, like Paddies goal, we never tackled and he unleashed a venemous strike high into Ryan's top left corner from maybe 25 yards. A fantastic goal, even before we had a chance to berate him. For the rest of the half we were grim. We were more energetic in the second half but lacked any real quality and Mensing gladly accepted anything that came his direction. We should have snapped him up when Mann left, but hey ho.
We huffed and puffed and offered too little too late and Hamilton deserved the points.
Reality check, wake up guys.
