Southern 1, Hamilton 3.
Southern looked pretty disorganised, didn't offer a whole lot.
Hamilton marginally better in all departments. Benefited from a debatable pen. Well worth the 3 points.
That's being very generous to Southern. Hamilton destroyed them in the first half. Southern didn't come close to having a shot on goal. Meanwhile Liam pulled off some stunning stops to save total embarrassment.
The Wanderers midfield ran rampant. Southern played 433 first half but the wingers were playing as genuine forwards, and with Rahan disappointing it left two midfielders unable to cope with Hamilton's big strong fellas. Their captain Hayes & teammate were running the show.
That first half genuinely looked like men vs boys.
Second half more even but clearly after the penalty (which did look debatable) they were clearly just cruising.
Very worrying signs for Southern after the highs of last season. Looked like no tactical strategy, and fitness & strength looked a mile off.
