Hearts: You're the boss

GRAEME KAY from Port Seton believes that Hearts should stick with a winning formula when they visit Hamilton for Sunday's televised clash.

What would your team and formation be? I would like to see Hearts go with the same formation as we did against Kilmarnock as I think that Larry Kingston can be very effective in the hole, as he proved in that game. My only change to the side would be to bring Jose Goncalves in at left back to cover for Lee Wallace as I wouldn't rush him back into the team with some big games just around the corner.

What are Accies' strengths and weaknesses? They are a poor side in terms of quality but they are fighters and are capable of surprising teams as Hibs found out earlier in the season. There are no star names left, really, but they give 100 per cent and that is their biggest asset.

How will you counter their strengths and exploit their weaknesses? There are a few players in our side who have been found wanting on a few occasions in terms of workrate. If we don't work as hard as Accies do, they have a chance of beating us but, if we work really hard, quality should come through and we should win. I would like to see us get Kingston on the ball as he has the quality to unpick any defence.

What do Hearts have to do to win the game? Although we have to be willing to scrap, we also need to try to play our own game and not allow Hamilton to knock us out of our stride. The football we played in the last 15 minutes against Killie was very good and a repeat of that should see us take the points. The confidence is back in the side and I think it'll be a comfortable 2-0 win.
