Im_Rodger Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share Posted July 28, 2018 Absolute disgrace. Canning has to be removed from post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laid-back Accie Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 (edited) Finally got to my first match of the season and yikes, what an incredibly lacklustre performance, I know it was effectively a nothing game, but the momentum would have been nice to take into next week. A couple of players there i feel won't be starting in the prem. Boyd got bullied the whole match and was passing the ball to no one at points, Imrie looked tired and done after 20 minutes. Bingham had some good points but also bad points that would waste good attacking opportunities, wasn't impressed by Phillips, missing most of the time, though did think his set pieces were ok (miles ahead of Imries). Was actually quite impressed by Mcmann and thought he was the best player on the park, looks much more at home at wing back rather than part of the back 3. Miller moved about a lot and looks like he could be a handful, was expecting a bit more of a goal threat after seeing he scored a hat trick on Tuesday. Overall i'm quite nervous about the season, we really don't look ready and don't seem to have a solid plan. Canning can talk about patience for the players to bed in, when you're a team like us you can'take afford for that period to be to long.

accies1874 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 If you were worried that the summer signings would rid the club of defensive incompetency, don't fret; it's here to stay. Couple that with McMann and Miller being the only ones providing (limited) creativity and you've got a poor side. Phillips thinks he's miles better than he actually is, Boyd ruined numerous attacks, and MacKinnon was decent at driving forward but a combination of limited forward numbers and limited ability constantly forced him to cut back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Oh yeah, every single one of Imrie's corners went into the 'keepers hands. McMann's looked good the last couple of games, but the opposition obviously isn't the same as what he'll be facing this season. We can only hope that Canning's learned a lot from these four games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Can't really argue with that. I'm not convinced by Phillips though. On Smith, I saw him for a half-and-a-bit against Clyde. He had occasional moments of clever play and he's fairly big, but it was too early to make any judgements. However, he did miss a couple of great chances. He also came on against Annan and misplaced every one of his attempted passes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Is anyone encouraged by McMann's last couple of performances, or are we simply dismissing it as being against poor teams? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Tunbridge Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 McMann was great the first few games of last season as well when we were playing a back 4 with him at left back.The switch to the back 5/3 killed him he isn’t a centre half and his confidence was destroyed by Imrie. Hopefully he can keep it going this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could make the argument that we stayed up last season and the season before with their selection. Not saying I'm positive about what's to come, as it looks like we don't really have a solid plan, it's more like let's do this and pray. Also the fact there's not a single player that you'd see his name on the starting team sheet and think, we can rely him to play well. Really I'm fearing the worst, Hopefully the first few games will change my views. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he has, my argument was that we stayed up despite the fact Mcmann and Imrie were selected for nearly every game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
