This is a good fixture to follow on from that cracking 2-3 win at Ibronx and the onus on the Hibs players is to extend our unbeaten run against a Hamilton side that will be 'stuffy' but their defence looks really dodgy after watching the number of scoring opps scorned by Dundee players in a game Hamilton still won 3-0 at home. Our strikers should be relishing playing against this defence I can visualise a 4-0 or 5-0 victory if all goes well. I suspect Lenny will 'tweak' the team a wee bit with possibly Gray and Swanny starting the match. Otherwise, the same again.

I can't wait for this already. I'd like to give them a doing,we owe them one for that play off debacle.
Don't think we need to change it too much,but i think whittaker is better a bit further up the park personally.

To me, Whittaker is too weak defensively and lethargic when beaten by his opponent. Still, it's early days and he will get better.

Whittaker 'ran out of puff', the same as Stokesy, after about an hour at Ibronx! I'm convinced if Lenny had replaced them with say, Gray and Swanny, Hibs would've given 10 man Rangers a good old deserved 'skelping' and there would not have been one goal difference in this gameTBF!!

Just what is it about Hamilton??? We get rid of one monkey off our backs in 2016, but come 2017 there's still one hanging around!

This was a dreadful performance by Hibs but Hamilton did play very well today! I just can't decipher how bad a performance that was and how it was a big factor in enhancing Hamilton's contribution to gaining such a positive result. I can now see why many Hibs fans dreaded this match today coming off a great result at Ibronx - deja vu and this scenario has been observed in days gone by! It was a collective disaster and I'd demand doubled training sessions at EMTC as a punishment. Lastly I can't believe Hanlon's lack of awareness and vigilance for that killer second goal particularly when the signs were already there with sloppiness and a real lacklustre approach all over the pitch!!!

A very poor performance like this has led to a disasterous spell of 6 or 7 matches in past seasons but I`m sure Lenny will be raging and make sure it doesn`t happen again.
A blip or the start of a bad spell? our next match will provide the answer.

We actually started ok but we just didn't win our battles like we did last week. Hamilton dominated the game and totally nullified our attacks,they deserved the win.
We really missed bartley the day i think. That was his sort of game. A major wake up call the day and i expect a big reaction next game.
Only positive was the boy barker looked very good.
