Surely a chance for Jones in the second half?

I think Barker has more ability than Jones.

Give the lad Patterson the second half 

[Rousseau 10,825]

[HT] 0-2. 

 

Quite pleased with that. Dominated the ball, but went direct when we needed to.

 

Felt we eased off towards the end, though.

Decent enough 1st half and 2 goals to the good - same required in 2nd half

I am liking the way we are switching play up , between trying to play through them , to the long diagonal , Hamilton don’t know whether to switch or stick .

An excellent first 45mins there: only complaint is that we really should be 4 or 5 nil up and even that wouldn't have flattered us.

 

Movement of the ball is a lot quicker but, crucially, the movement of the players is a lot better.  For example, Barker hasn't looked as dangerous on the ball but it's him and Hagi creating the space for Kent and the full backs.  Roofe also doing his part creatively in deeper areas which is where Morelos does struggle a wee bit.

 

Let's hope we keep it tight after the break and start taking these chances our play merits.

Great point Frankie , people forget it’s just as important for players not on the ball to create space for those with the ball .

I really enjoy watching Ryan Kent play football. Conversely what the fuck is a Brandon Barker!?

Foot on the gas, please, for the next 45.

Damning with faint praise.
