Canning has done an absolutely fantastic job with jobbers like Sir Douglas of Imrie and Darien McKinnon at his disposal. Must be tough getting pelters from one or two individuals every home game whilst your chairman is transferring club funds to some random guy that promises 'great gold'.

Manager of the season if he keeps Hamilton up IMO. He's too good for them.

Imrie I'll give you, but MacKinnon?

Nah.

It's a sad indictment that he's the quintessential midfielder one needs to be relatively 'successful' in Scottish football. He's little more than a thug.

The decision to take off Bingham who looked Accies most dangerous player and replace him with a defender was the workings of a tactical genius IMO.

Mackinnon would walk into your starting XI.

You are really bad for over-hyping your own players. Mackinnon is a jobber, he is utter pish. As pish as Dundee have been this season there is no way that he would "walk into their starting 11".

People judge MacKinnon on reputation rather than performances. 

He can obviously get stuck in, but his passing has improved massively - both short and long - and he's good and driving the team up the park. 

If Accies ever fancy playing from the back, he's the one dropping deep and starting attacks. If they go long, he's usually the one who wins the second ball. He pops up everywhere, and Jenkins playing frees him up to get forward a bit more. 

Since his meltdown at home to Inverness on the last home game of the 15/16 season (a game many of us wanted him released), it's almost as if he's focussed on getting his act together and becoming a better footballer.
