~The Sixth Sense~ Hamilton Academical 2019/2020 Thread


Recommended Posts

Beck's CV doesn't look up to much but at 6ft 1'', he'll at least bring a bit of height to our midfield.

From the fourth tier of German football to the second tier in Belgium to the Scottish Premiership in a few months. Meteoric rise for young Adrian!

We'll have to wait and see how he performs on the NDP carpet before passing judgement. If we wasn't expected to get a place in the team, he wouldn't have been loaned out so there must be something there.

On the subject of loans, what's the script with that Adedoyin lad?

People said the same with Southwood and he’s not featured and as you’ve mentioned the Everton boy hasn’t either, although his attitude is apparently stinking. Beck will be no more than back up.

Stanger on loan to EK. I thought he'd be pushing for a 1st team place this season.

Very strange. Not quoted all season then chucked straight in for the Motherwell game now away to the lowland League.

The reserves were awful today. The defence was really awkward all game - I think a few were out of position though - and they created very little. Mimnaugh fell out of the game after a few good through passes early on and Cunningham was never in it.

I'm beginning to feel sorry for Adedoyin, but he is really struggling. He did have a couple of decent moments without ever looking like scoring. Moyo seems to be another target man.

Dundee United were the second best reserve team I've seen.

Never went today as couldn't make it but your report sounds a role reversal from last week where we had some good passages of play with a resolute defence.

 

Can't see why Stanger is away to a level below that where he came from and likewise Jack Breen dropping further down again.Don't think either of these moves is ideal for their development.

Morning Accies fans, have written this piece on Hamilton which touches on my visit a few years back and your draw at Hearts on Saturday. Hope you enjoy. All the best for the season.

Thanks for looking into us mate, and thanks for continuing to do so. Theres a story with the accies but god knows what it is. We all just live it day to day. Not sure why you bothered with us a few years ago or what you're up to now but I hope you enjoy your football.

Thanks for the reply mate. I'm a Burton Albion supporter, been watching us since our non-league days. However since 2013 I've done a Scottish Awayday a season (half-scottish so always had an interest in football north of the border). The night I had out at Hamilton was made special thanks to the Accies fans I met in the Vaults pre-match, a great bunch. So yeah, ever since I've kept an eye on your fortunes.

A very nice piece written by Lewis Smith's mum. It's not so much about Accies, but does give an insight into the life of an aspiring footballer from a parent's perspective and the added pressure/emotional investment that comes from playing for the team you support:

I don't think there's ever been a player that Accies fans have been so desperate to succeed. He must feel some amount of pressure for such a young guy, although that's not shown yet.

My brother was in the reserves under Iain Munro who tipped him for the top and like me was/is Accies daft.A terrible knee injury against Maccabi Tel Aviv in a closed doors match ended his pro career at 18 and he was in the same Lanarkshire youth sides as Barry Ferguson,Lee McCulloch,David Lilley,Paul Hartley,Jamie McAllister,John Paul McBride and others.

The pride my Dad felt watching him in the reserves(he was still sixth year at Holy Cross)would have been 100 times that in the first team.He made a comeback of sorts playing occasionally for Cadzow Accies and The Bruce(now Mrs Milsy's) with myself and it was a case of what could have been sadly.

McKinnon's absence again from the starting 11 has been merited due to poor form this season but if he continues to be left out should he be stripped of his captaincy? I personally think we have better options now in midfield and once Scott Martin is fit enough for a 1st team return, he's got a huge job on his hands to get back into the team.
