We were REALLY unlucky to not win that tonight and I don't mean that in a Martin Canning way of explaining a defeat. We hit the post at least twice and Ali hit the bar. Rakish caused them some issues with his pace through the middle. 2 set pieces led to County goals AGAIN.
Massimo' passing is some of the worst I've ever seen, his 2 MOTM performances can't excuse some of the utter guff he gifted this team tonght, he must have given the ball away at least 10 times.
Dougie finally played down the left wing and had some very good deliveries into the box. Templetons goal was a solo effort, turned the defender inside out and drilled it low, looks a player. Gogic for me was also very good. Tierney did heehaw sadly, I did think maybe we should have went with 2 up and pair Rakish with Tierney.
For all the shite we have played the past 2 years, I cannot fault that performance tonight, it's the same old story, individual errors gifting goals. first goal looked like a cross from outside the area and Remi is lobbed for the 2nd week in a row, despite being 2 yards off his line, they also had a freak goal when the ball hit the post and cam eback off Remi.
Very slow start also with Accies again taking around 20 minutes to actually warm up and get into the game, once we did press them we really should have scored more than 2
It's really hard to justify staying up this season, 1 away win is dire. Whilst Canning must take the majority of the stick for it, I think we can all reflect on all the utter guff performances and match changing errors our talented players have executed this season.
The rumblings I heard in the crowd is that Devlin is 'injured' for the rest of the season and is on his way out, along with Sarris. Also heard that Dougie may be moving into a higher coaching position as of next season. I did think that a combo of Donati/Dougie could be the future of our coaching setup.
Imagine if our board had actually allowed that planned takeover a couple of seasons ago, we could have had some much needed funding pumped into the club and be able to afford a couple of key players, who could have really changed this season round.
On to saturday, If ICT win i'll presume Canning will play a weakened side on saturday in prep for the play off legs, lets hope ICT don't fucking win tomorrow. Or we are truly fucked.
