Don't think it's a case of being too demanding, its simply the reality of our situation.. Serif is essentially funding the club, using his own money in an all out attempt to firstly get promoted then build on the ambition he has for the club.
A combination of naive management and players not performing when it matters means it looks like promotion is unlikely (at the moment if we are bing optimistic and hopeful we can have a good window). Yes we have had some high scoring games but we are a well funded full time squad playing in essentially a part time league. Dropping points to Edinburgh City and Kelty at home is where we have failed. Games which we should have won but for avoidable errors. Very fine margins and a tough standard has been set by Falkirk I accept, but the reality is we will not survive a prolonged stay in this league.
I think we are lucky to have Serif. His transparency and ambition has impressed me and won me over. However, there is not a bottomless pot of cash and the players and management need to step up.and appreciate this. During our recent periods of relative success, Accies had a reputation as being a gritty, hard working team, difficult to break down with a never say die attitude. At the last forum he attended, Rankin stated this is the identity he wanted us to have again as he hated playing against us as a player.
I can not see how any fan that watches us regularly could argue that is the identity we currently have?
