He doesn’t have it, it’s clear. He is outsmarted by more canny managers. They would love to have this squad. We will cling to a play off place and fail to go up. So why wait?
Realism rather than pessimism from me here. On the last few weeks performances, we will struggle to keep in the play-off race and would be well beaten by any team at the foot of the Championship.
Whatever the players do during the week, or whatever plans the manager has made, there is no visible evidence that, as a full time squad, we are any better than all the part-time teams in this league.
Does one of our players have temperamental issues? The loss of a hardworking midfielder today for a game or two, on top of long term injuries to Scott Martin & Ryan Fulton, are likely to further damage our ability to see us winning games now.
Next game against FC Edinburgh, in a really poor venue to enjoy a football game, is one on which I'll pass. We were unable to compete against them at NDP, and as they scored two goals today, they have a better idea of where the goals are than we currently have. Predict another draw.
JR has apparently 'almost' signed an impressive player, and more signing are expected in January. Can't see Zanatta & Barjonas being with us beyond that date. Any signing(s) will have to be something special to get us out of this forever deepening trench we are in.
NOT a Happy Christmas, methinks, as far as Accies are concerned.
