Laid-back Accie Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 (edited) The new league season is nearly here and with it the usual renewed excitement. How long will that last this time... We've been handed a fairly decent first game, home against a team I'm predicting we'll be close to for the majority of the season, definitely winnable. At the moment with our thin squad, it's fairly obvious what our team will be, and can only see that changing if there's an injury. For Morton with the league cup being the only reference currently, seems like they are struggling for goals being as of yet unable to replace Ugwu. Hearing the rumors that Imrie isn't happy with his budget has dampened my initial thoughts on how well Morton will do, as he can tend to get a bit huffy, which won't bode well. This was the 2nd game of the last campaign which we lost, so heres hoping we can get a better start in that regard. 2-1 Accies Edited July 25, 2022 by Laid-back Accie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colkitto Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Not sure what to expect from this game. We are clearly lacking in squad depth and have been relying on the youngsters so far. In saying that, a few of the young lads have equipped themselves really well over the cup games and could quite rightly feel aggrieved if they were to be dropped if by some miracle we sign players before Saturday . My initial thoughts would be a goalless draw, but who knows? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manager would violently disagree with that claim given his post-match comments from Saturday. Given our stinking record against Hamilton under any circumstances, I'm expecting a low-scoring home win. The sort of 1-0 defeat where we could play all day and night and never score. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamOakTree1 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I’ve never enjoyed games against the Accies, no matter what our status has been compared to theirs we’ve always struggled against their style of play for some reason. I’ve never really got this opinion that Accies always play football the right way, playing out from the back etc. I’ve watched Morton v Accies games home and away from the 60’s and have never seen them playing anything but a holding game, trying to hit on the break etc. In fact I decided quite recently not to attend games v Accies as they bore the shit out of me. If I had been born in Hamilton and my dad had taken me to their games I wouldn’t have taken to football, I’d maybe have watched a different sport like rugby. -8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point, we lost a few young fans to rugby after the 10-2 game, chasing the high scoring buzz of that day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost of B A R P Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Keeper and back four pick themselves, then I think he’ll go Gillespie, Blues, and Lyon in midfield. In front of that, I hope he goes with Quitongo through the middle, Kabia as an out-and-out right winger, with Muirhead drifting in off the left-hand side. Middle three can run themselves into the ground, with options off the bench; front three might want to conserve their energies for the full 90… 1-1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 After Longridge's antics last week, I wonder what Gillespie will have in store for tomorrow. Hopefully his family are in scrapping mode again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that hitting on the break. Feel free to add those Morton thrashings. There must be a 2-0 somewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdhafc1874 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Apparently he has hair now. Always fun when the players families get involved. Was it Canning's old man who was fighting someone in the stand at St Johnstone?It was indeed Canning's old man who got huckle out of the away end at McDiarmid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) Same team as last week, and probably end up with the same issues. Lewis Spence has dropped out the squad so will probably be this year's early-season release. with an injury.
