I'm not sure what exactly folk are expecting from Accies when playing against 10 men.
MC was criticised for Hearts (recently) when facing 10 men for remaining defensive, which I agreed with.
However, v RC he puts D'Acol on (within 10 minutes), we score an equaliser and concede a great free kick.....on another day, we could've won the match. There was nothing wrong with the approach.......we are struggling to execute simple things correctly just now. Decision making remains awful in the last third.
His comments, at times, can be wide of the mark but, unfortunately, if you don't have the quality at your disposal......especially up front......then there is very little the manager can do......
I would advise we need to accept playing a more compact, defensive formation for the next wee while to try and ensure avoiding relegation and then think about changing the structure of the squad, bringing some pace up front where we could possibly hurt teams on the counter attack.
Btw, it not particularly enjoyable to watch Accies just now but, it's part of supporting a smaller club.....swings and roundabouts.....
