NJ2 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Understandable about worrying but you boys have always managed to stay up against the odds so far, and there’s another couple of very poor teams as said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, if we do somehow stay up, next season will be just as bad, if not worse. It's horrible to be an Accies fan atm. Those in charge simply do not care.

EKACCIES Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I think they do care , they care about the £1m they get each year. If they didn’t care they wouldn’t have invested in new players in the summer and just gone with youth. I fully expect new players in January however it’s hard to attract players who will be good enough. I dare say Dundee Motherwell and St Mirren will be doing the same.

I guess saying they don't care is probably not true, but I don't understand their stance with Canning. His record is apalling and would not be accepted anywhere else. They love all their sideline projects - and these are commendable. However surely they must realise that the continued success of those projects is largely dependent on the club being a Premiership side. They have succeeded in alienating the fan base down to a similar level to the homeless years. Hardened supporters who stayed with the club throughout that period have now turned their backs and have had enough. Once you lose a support it takes years to rebuild it. Fair fucks to anyone that continues to pay good money to follow the club. It must be soul destroying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Wonder Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Comfortable win, could've been 2 or 3 more easily. The difference in us with Naismith as opposed to without is frightening. Callumn Morrison was fantastic first half but disappeared a wee bit in the second. Thought Smith was excellent despite the penalty miss, though justice was probably done as the award was soft (why was he taking it anyway?) And Clare actually looked very sharp when he came on. Let's hope the injuries to Djoum and Haring won't keep them out on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted December 26, 2018 Author Share Posted December 26, 2018 Can't decide if Naismith was excellent or our defenders didn't know how to track a simple drop between the lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think Naismith can play a lot better and missed an absolute sitter. But, his moaning and movement makes everyone around him much better. He creates spaces which other players can move into, plus his goal was excellent. We've missed him so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 It really was crazy how easy we made it for Hearts, who you'd imagine were low on confidence. The good news is that Want will be suspended for the Motherwell game and Kilgallon will probably be back. Tshiembe's injury would worry me more (simply in terms of numbers) if Gogic and Penny weren't on the way back. We've obviously got the break coming up too. It's frustrating that average/poor players - Brustad, Imrie, Martin, McMann - should be guaranteed starters due to how bad our options are. Dundee, St Mirren and ourselves will be searching the lower leagues in England in January. How many games have we had two or fewer shots on target?

topcat(The most tip top) Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 We managed to accumulate 19 fouls and 4 cards between usIn more recent meetings between our clubs you’d expect both sides to exceed that by themselves This fixture has gone soft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Tunbridge Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 How many games have we had two or fewer shots on target? Currently 40 in 20 games so far, so averaging 2 a game, but bear in mind at least 6 of them have been in the 2 games versus St Mirren. Pretty damning.

Pretty damning.Jesus, and I thought we were toothless without Naismith and Uche. I expect Dundee and St Mirren will bring in fresh faces in January (new managers will surely have a few they want), do you expect Accies to bring anyone in to try and secure safety?

accies1874 Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 Yes, we'll bring in quite a few: probably three strikers, a winger, some clogger in midfield and a full-back. One of them will make it to the following season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 It's also what Dundee do. It's also what St Mirren did for ages. The three of us are as bad a trio as I've seen in the top flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
