Hamilton V Dundee Pre-Match Discussion


Recommended Posts

Boba suggested one place for predictions, line-ups and other pre-match chat so here it is.

I think this game will end 1-0 or 1-1. I'll go for Hamilton 0-1 Dundee.

I wouldn't change much after the derby. O'Dea comes in, Wolters stays on the bench for now.

Nope,  Waddell on  and O' Dea as sub .

Drop our captain to the bench for a teenager with 45 minutes of top flight experience when we're up against an aggressive and streetwise Hamilton side away from home? Never going to happen. I think that would cause us problems on the park and in the dressing room.

Accies scored four goals without reply against us at their place in May. We need all the experience we've got if we're going to get a result on Saturday.

We do indeed, and I'm sure that will influence McCann's decisions. It was also the game that irritated McCann so much, after we'd secured safety, so he'll be determined nothing similar is going to happen this time, and O'Dea is likely to be central to his game plan, and Gowser.

We also need some of the physical toughness & power in the air that Hendry & Waddell bring, so how he uses the bench will also be very interesting. I don't see any way to play all three....I think our 'back three' phase last season was very dodgy, and I think NM will always want two fullbacks in his back four.

Young Waddell has really given him a headache this season and you'd have to argue that they both have given him a very hard decision to make for Saturday. Personally I would give them a chance again. They deserve it.

I'd be happy to see Hendry & Waddell playing together again....I think, in the early games, Hendry showed he has the 'old head on young shoulders' air about him, very confident, organising those around him. He wasn't slow to tell Cammy & El Bak what he thought they should have done a couple of times last night. 

I suspect, as it's Hamilton, NM is likely to feel he needs O'Dea's experience & leadership, though.

This is a massive game for our season. After two defeats by Aberdeen Hamilton will see this as their first winnable game. The players need to be fired up for it. We don't want to be going into games against Aberdeen, Hibs and Rangers with 0 points.

O'Dea coming in for Waddell only change (very harsh but probably right decision).
