Referee: Iain Brines

The team must be feeling the pressure at the moment with some of the fans staying to boo the players and management off the park and the other half leaving the stadium the second ten man Livingston scored their last minute goal.

We are back tomorrow to cheer the team on to success and until the ninety minutes are over everyone on the park deserves it, our new signing deserves a chance to prove himself and the pressure may result in a couple of mistakes but time should sort any problems out.

Will Koudou go straight in to the match as an attacker? It's possible, but I think we suffered a lot from having only one recognised winger on the field. Holmes tried his best but he is a centre midfielder and not a winger.

I could rip last weeks game to shreds but I think enough has been said on the forum.

Xavier Barrau is still suspended after his red card at Ross County, it has not been announced yet whether Lovering is suspended for one or two games, but Neil McGowan didn't put a foot wrong against Livingston last week so at least we have cover there. Gary Twigg may also be sidelined after pulling his thigh muscle on Sat Vs Livingston.

It's going to be another tough one especially as Hamilton are doing extremely well and riding high in fourth position only two points behind the league leaders.

The listen live option on the L107 website doesn't seem to be working so no comments from Sandy tonight.

Once again Sandy Stewart was interviewed at around about 6:15pm on L107
