However, on second thoughts a midfield 3 which includes Redmond is always a major risk. Also if we took it seriously maybe we would have adjusted to the surface rather than playing high balls out of the park
Dont' let us blame the surface. WE play on a synthetic pitch. The players train (or do they?) on one. I thought being at Buckie would be the worst I would ever see Accies play in the Scottish Cup. Today exceeded that by a country mile.
Had no idea of whether there were any tactics for today. Didn't seem so. Players underperforming (again) and played out of position too. We certainly missed Lucas & Dougie, but we should still have had enough skill as well as mangerial ability to turn things round after 45 minutes, with a wee break to refresh things at half time. Nade could have rumbled them up, but 'NO'. Docherty the MOTM with his tireless enegery and running AND exortataions to other team members. Then he was subbed.... injury?
We deserved to be well beaten by a good team effort from Annan. On this form we look automatic relegation placed, as DU are bound to start a run of wins at some stage.
Probably a nice guy, Martin, but after 12 months, it's time to resign for your own future credibility and sanity. Honourable thing to do!!
Any plus points from today? Annan finally off the 'list'. Friendly locals. Great Tea/Coffee for £1 large cup. Great Pies and Sausage Rolls for £2. Team Sheets 10p Entry £6. Great craic with friends there and back. Almost look forward to playing in the lower divisions again
