I do have a problem that when someone is caretaker and get pumped in every game and still gets the job. You have to ask why!
porcupine wrote:Other than H9crx's usual negativity, this is an excellent thread with sound opinions throughout. As said by me two weeks ago and many others, Canning HAS to see the game from the sidelines and preferably from the stand where he can see the play developing/ mistakes being made etc. etc. With Tena available for the next game, there is no excuse for the Manager to be playing himself. We COULD not play any worse than Saturday. Canning has to have the balls to manage the situation and the current problems. It is now long overdue that he stamps his authority on the players. If he cannot, or is unwilling to change being one of the 'boys', then he is dead in the water. Whilst some will not like it, most groups of staff, footballers included, are looking for strong leadership, and our team at Accies are no different, whether they know that or not.
Most of our squad have not become bad players in six weeks. All are clearly suffering a massive lack of confidence in their own ability. This CAN be managed by the right person. I am far from sure that, what looked like an excellent back-up team of Swailes and Buezellin, are gelling with everyone else, and the lack of decision making regarding the need of early substitutes on Saturday, is a clear example.

Alex being a yes man doesn't really tally with his success down south does it. You now seem to saying the term 'yes man' is a simple descriptor and not a comment meant to be derogatory; I didn't get that sense from your post, maybe I called it wrong?
For me the stuff being bandied about is the reactionary behaviour of people struggling to handle where we are right now and hitting out at everything and anything. From 'cheap options' and 'yes men' to moaning about the pictures within the stadium!.......... all things that seemed perfectly acceptable until 2 months ago.
For me if ever an Accies board deserved loyalty and perhaps the room to make a mistake (if that's how it plays out) then its this one. People are missing the irony of using the uber success brought to this club by the board to beat the very same board with now things are getting a wee bit rough.

Selling Andreu for £1m+ is a great bit of business, disappointing as it was to see him go. Being able to sell Hendrie for anything is even better! A few signings would have been nice, however the problem lies with the management / coaching situation.

But to allow a player with no real experience to take the managers role with no mentor was a gamble that has failed. From being comfortable in the top six, there is real danger we will drop like a stone down the table. Was it not Hibs last season that were doing well up to a point then started slipping down the league?

And we seem to have been beaten today by a team of Dundee youngsters with only one player who's had any first team experience and even he, Wighton, is a kid. We had Tena, Longridge and Redmond all starting.

We had a team in the top 3, and the U20s and U17s also flying.
For the first time in decades Hamilton had a team to be truly proud of; amazing how quickly pride can turn to despair, then anger.
