Hamilton Saint

Under way - 45 minutes to go.

Saints have had umpteen chances and dominated possession. Need to get a win here.

Half time. 1-1.

Barnard gets a shot away to the goalkeeper's right. Wide.

Merrington says that Butterfield put a cross in too early. Should have held possession and worked forward more.

Everyone OK. Game resumes with a drop-ball.

Fonte, Jaidi and an Orient defender on the ground. Two up, but Jaidi still down.

Another excellent run forward by Barnard.

Revell lucky, apparently, not to be booked for a a high, late tackle on Hammond.

Another attack. Lallana has a shot on goal. No luck.

Lambert gets another header on goal. Over the bar this time!

Header from Lambert goes wide of the right post.

Merrington praising some excellent play by Saints going forward.

Great shot from Barnard. Saved.

Tyrell Forbes scores from a free header. 1-1

Lambert takes the free kick. Deflected into the net! 1-0!

Free kick - just outside of the D. Dead centre.

Merrington: a wonderful start, only a matter of time before we score.

Lambert involved in most attacking play. Barnard off the post!

Butterfield and Puncheon linking up well on the right.

Live at the stadium. One minute's applause.

Tribute to Markus Liebherr on Saints Player now.

It's working for me. Keep trying!

BBC Football reports that Thomas-Moore has put in a request to leave Tranmere Rovers. What does he want - Utopia?

Agreed - but to have a bit of perspective requires taking the long view and waiting to see how things are going after four or five games. Part of that perspective requires acknowledging that we're never going to know much of the inside information that governs the way key personnel at the club operate. Despite the ITK attitude of many on here, we are really just spectators. Nonetheless, we have a vociferous minority on here who prefer knee-jerk reactions after every game. They pretend to understand what's happening behind the scenes; they speculate wildly about attitudes and motivations; they natter on endlessly about things they are in no real position to judge. But there you are - plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose.
