More tombola from McPake it would appear! Dapo scores one week then out the team the next. Young and Sutherland start after being ignored for weeks. Not sure if it`ll be a back three of Comrie-Benedictus-Young or a back four but either way it looks like Otoo is back in midfield after McPake disagreeing with everyone just last week when he said he thinks Otoo is better at centre back. No Kane as expected. No idea what to expect tbh.

Having thought about it, I wonder if we`re back to a flat back four today? McPake said he likes Otoo as a left centre back in a three but he`s brought Young back in so maybe it`ll be a back four and he doesn`t think Otoo can play LCH in a four? Would make some sort of sense.

Hamilton had the better first half. They created chances. We are a bit one paced even In the final third. Sutherland is struggling a bit in my view. He looks like a player for next season as he is still young. If he stays on for the second half, I hope to see him be a bit more direct and selfish on the ball.
We need to be a bit more committed going forward, sheneralky ome of the runs were a bit half hearted.

The impression I get is that McPake knows he`s finished and is limping toward a payoff, there are players on our books that are likely finished at full time football after this season and will limp to the finish.
The German`s are gone, waiting until their share of the club is sold so won`t lift a finger and the local guys don`t have the money and/or fortitude to sack McPake and take responsibility for the next incumbent.
We just have to suck it up in the meantime.

A deserved win.
It`s all about the first goal. If we score first we can look alright. If we concede first we seem to be Donald Ducked.
Obviously the subs made a huge impact. Hamilton had a couple of good chances in the first half, but we also had 2-3 that could have converted.
As ever, the ref had a couple of inexplicable moments. Apparently handball isn`t a foul anymore.
Up to 6th and a win at the Rovers could allow us to move away from the group, but it`s the Pars, so we won`t make it easy.
I know there`s a lot or criticism of McPake and I don`t want to wade into that, but it`s about time that he started picking a consistent team. He`s got the squad. I think a lot of success comes from players playing with the same teammates over time.

In a way yes, it is after all a results based business, his record is still pretty bad though and 6th is deceiving and we`ll be looking downwards all season.
My personal view is if the club is taken over and it`s a big "if" , a fresh start is needed in a lot of areas.

Wouldn`t say deceiving but we are 6th and also equal on points with the team in 9th. The table from 6th to 9th is really tight. If we can start competing for the whole game instead of spells of games we could maybe build up a wee gap. We are on a decent run but shows how bad our start was that we are still in a relegation battle.
c'mon the pars

A much needed win, but letās be honest two flukey goals won it for us. If Shaw had not missed one of the biggest sitters I have ever seen it could have been a different story.
We won, we are all happy about that and I donāt care how the Pars score these days but we got the rub of the green today.
Big shout out for me today for Ngwenya who gets better every week. Not so long ago our . net experts were telling us he was out of his depth.
Hereās hoping Kane is fit for next week.
Cooper worth a start ?
What an opportunity we missed in 2014.

Well its been a long time in scoring 3 goals I don`t have much faith in this manager, and he should have been out the door long ago. We as a team are so boring to watch and a just about league one standard, that is how far we have fallen. That is not good enough form a team and city that should have premiership football week in week out, and not the rubbish we have been getting used to over the last few years.

Strange game football!! For a game with 5 goals, I thought it was incredibly boring for long periods. Our second goal was well created and finished, and worthy of winning us full points. Even from the main stand, I couldn`t make out who scored the third, I wondered if Young had got a touch?
Good performances from Comrie and Benedictus, but below-average from quite a few. I remain convinced that there`s a decent team in there somewhere, but for some reason it`s being hidden.

Got to agree, 2 of the goals today are 1-2 in a season type goals where we get the break from. Before that the game had Dunfermline nil all over it.
Hats off to medube on the 2nd goal, previous games the head was down and wasnāt passing but today he chose the right option and set us up for the 3 points.
Iād love McCann to look up before he swings the ball in or tries to swing the ball in, seems basic to aim for someone but he never actually does it, just so limited but heās in there as thereās no other height in the team although he regularly misjudges the flight of the ball!
Not sure I would start cooper next week, away at rovers will be hard and he tends to struggle against more physical teams and I donāt think both him and Todd work in the same team away from home.
Weāre still a poor looking outfit a bit devoid of any quality going forward but at least we look at the same level as a couple of other teams now. Home form all important.

I was going to make the same comment about Lewis McCann. My one tip for him would be to look around the park more to see where players are and know where to put the ball without having to look up. I watched him alot today. He put in a solid performance. He does spend alot of time with his head down or looking at the ball, I think for me, looking up more will improve him as a player.

Not long back, pretty woeful game but it ended up being edge of the seat stuff and a brilliant story (once again) for Josh Cooper.
I though it was pretty turgid stuff by 2 poor sides, in the First Half, and that we were fortunate that Shaw miss an absolute gift that came across our 6 yard box, and that Tobi did so well in the 1v1 or Hamilton would have been out of sight.
Second Half, I thought we were better but our final ball is just woeful at times. Todd scores a Free Kick simply by putting it into an area and nobody getting a touch to it. Donāt get me wrong, itās the sort of Free Kick that you want people taking but it wasnāt even our first chance of the match because it wasnāt even a chance.
Brilliant bit of play from Dapo for the second, showed his class with the header and the lay off right to Cooper. I just donāt understand how Cooper didnāt see more game time. Not saying heās brilliant, but the energy and running you get from him is more than others in that position. As for the 3rd, even he was surprised to have scored itā¦..but who cares!
FINALLY, just want to say a huge well done and thank you to those in SNW. Brilliant atmosphere today, my son had a ball and it was great to see. No trouble, nothing thrown, just a bunch of āladsā having a great time and getting behind their team, what football should be. Well done to those involved.

Hammy misses next week`s game because of that booking apparently. McPake was pretty scathing about the ref. He`d seen the replay of Hamilton`s first goal and it confirmed his view that the challenge for which Otoo was booked wasn`t even a foul.
If the opposition miss a sitter and we score from two set-plays I don`t think it`s luck - it`s football. Put the ball into dangerous areas and ask the opposition to deal with it. Were Hamilton lucky because we didn`t challenge their header from the free kick?

Agree wee eck. The two crosses for the goals were textbook. Matt puts it into a dangerous area that makes it difficult to defend. That`s why they didn`t defend it. Any touch and it was a OG. Their goal was low and hard just above head height that enabled the Hamilton player to get power and direction into it.

Let`s not kid ourselves on that we were good today.We were far from it, particularly in the first half. Mcpake`s team selections continue to baffle everyone. He has most of his recent signings keeping the bench warm. Last week Mebude scores his first goal and his reward is to be left out. Similarly Cooper lays one on and he too gets left out. Those two made the difference today when they came on but both should have started. How KRH got mom is a mystery, he was poor and has been for weeks. As for the referee, he was appalling.

We won both games so McPake will probably feel his selections were justified. Edinburgh City away in a cup-tie is a different challenge from Hamilton at home in the League. He will have assessed both teams` strengths and weaknesses and picked a team accordingly. He had 20 fit players to choose from today. He knows how they did in training and he has to try and keep them all motivated. It`s quite rare nowadays for managers not to make changes, even to a winning team.

Not being funny BlackLight but which chances? The only four things of note from the first half I remember from an abysmal first half were:
*Sutherland run before choosing the wrong option and passing inside.
*The Hamilton breakaway where Tobi came out and got a big hand to it.
*Hamilton being booked for clearly winning the ball and clearing it in textbook fashion.
*Shaw kicking the ground and nearly falling over when all he had to was bundle it in.

That was an entertaining second half, given how poor both teams were. Matty Todd put in a lot of good balls, impressive he can take corners with either foot, so probably deserved the fortune with the goal. It was a good run from McCann as well who attacked the ball well, without that, the keeper would easily catch it. After that, some kind of game broke out. The ref was rubbish all day and the foul for their equaliser (and booking) the worst of many poor decisions.
The only bit of real quality was Medube for the second goal, and that was enough to just about deserve the points.
Not ready to heap praise on McPake for the dire style of play, bizarre team selection and our poor league record. 16 games, 15 points is not good, not even close to good.

I think that match had at least 3 more goals than it deserved, but we got the breaks.
The division now has a clear split ā with Falkirk and Airdrie looking a little detached at either end. All fans will be hoping that either their team is underperforming but will suddenly run into a bit of form or a judicious dip into the transfer market will make all the difference. Boards will be googling ānew manager bounceā and re-examining their budgets.
I note we warmed up with heading practice for a back 5 but went with a 4-2-3-1. Is this the fashion now amongst the top managers? Was anyone fooled as to our intentions?
Tobi was wearing his yellow strip again ā Iām surprised he got away with that last week when we were wearing our 2nd (3rd? 4th? choice) all yellow ensemble ā perhaps the green sleeves make sufficient difference that the referee can accurately identify the owner of a handball in the area?
I think Otoo is a bit inconsistent in midfield ā on a good day he can ride the tackles and carry the ball forward. on a bad day he loses possession too easily. I thought he was better in the second half (as the whole team was ā there is still a ākeep it tight early onā mentality I think). And perhaps the wind was an issue ā there seemed to be a lot of mistiming of headers ā not just McCann but also Young.
Sutherland is too isolated for my liking but he got a good hour under his belt and although he made wrong choices a couple of times, he does look like he at least is half-expecting to score.
I wonder if McCann is getting too much advice? Take players on, hold the ball up, take a touch, hit it first time, place it, pass it, hit it hard. If so, itās not going to help.
Again, we had a pitiful lack of shots on target ā I donāt count Toddās corner or his free-kick, which was a terrific delivery, begging for a touch which turned out not to be needed. Comrieās little flick was excellent (heās missed a few easy chances but he now has a couple of good finishes) as was Cooperās goal. You live in hope that these little touches of class which can win matches will become more frequent.
As for the penalty ā a poor one to give away, and Tobi was a bit unlucky not to save it ā perhaps Mehmet would have done betterā¦
At least we can win without Kane, and at least we might have four or five players that can weigh in with a goal. And thatās four wins in the last five, without ever looking particularly convincing. Maybe a little bit of self-belief will start to grow, but itās still a hard watch at times.

I thought Hamilton played in phases. They tried to control the pace of game by slowing it down, packing their box and picking it up when they had chanxes to go forward when we were a little stretched. They move the ball around better than us, but we were more purposeful and direct going forward in the second half. Goals are either scored by moments of brilliance or defensive errors or lapses. We benefitted from the latter for two goals but that`s what you get when you pressure the opposition. Fortune favours the brave. Hats off to the NW for keeping it going and getting behind the team for tge full 90 minutes.

In a way yes, it is after all a results based business, his record is still pretty bad though and 6th is deceiving and we`ll be looking downwards all season.
My personal view is if the club is taken over and it`s a big "if" , a fresh start is needed in a lot of areas.
How is 6th deceiving. That`s where we are because apparently the table doesn`t lie.
yeah ,we are 6th but equal bottom
No we arenāt. Airdrie are bottom.
my bad ,I ment 2nd bottom ,but I think you know what I ment
We are not equal anything. We are in 6th because we have a better goal diff.
Not equal.
Equal points with second bottom
c'mon the pars

Surely the important thing is that we are in a better position now in relation to the clubs around us than we were before Saturday`s matches?
