Mckay and Anier up front? Check.
Comprehensively outplayed by Hamilton? Check.
Manager says players lack bottle? Check.
Relegated at the end of the season? TBC.

Seems all too familiar to Dundee United under Paatelainen last season.

My first game since County at Hogmanay and even since then the drop in belief was stark. Apart from maybe big Drapes, nobody willing to fight for the jersey. Wee Billy must wonder what sort of club he's come back to. Players hiding all over the park scared to take any risk or show or make an angle for a teammate. Typical hoofball pattern from a team in desperation at the bottom. In any case Accies just hoovered up the high balls of which we didn't win one all night. Even Imrie was winning headers at one point.

I've been a supporter of Richie up till now but I can't see how even starting again in the championship he can build a team with a decent system and gameplan. I wonder whether it's worth the risk or whether we would just be the next St Mirren.

Great stuff! Three points and seven goals ahead of them. A good night's work. Strikers scoring goals, well I never!

Good to see there's still more than a fighting chance of avoiding relegation. When push comes to shove, hopefully today's generation of Accies player is willing do the sorts of things that the late great 1970s Accies legend Arthur McMillan was willing to contemplate to stop the other team from scoring, especially if the opponent is wearing claret and amber:

Hoofball to Billy McKay is never going to work, anyone who has witnessed this tactic in the past should know this by now, it has never worked for us since Craig Brewster gave up playing.

Last night's starting 11 looked like the strongest line up we have had all season, yet it had the most gutless most un Caley Thistle performance for a long time and its been getting worse as the season has progressed. We have a small squad and cannot afford to carry passengers. Richie has to be ruthless now and cannot not be afraid to drop long serving established players for players who feel like they have something to prove. Even so what difference would that make, the way we play is a shambles and completely disorganized and that is not all down to the players? These are good players who have lost their direction, as much as its their fault for not pushing themselves hard enough on match day its also down to the manager and his coaching staff.

Something has to change.

Good to see Billy McKay back though. Can't see it being a happy return if this continues.

What a fukkin moron. No new materiel m8?

Post more on our threads than he does in threads involving his own team Aberdeen on this forum and from the standard of his contributions on here not worth wasting time replying to or getting angry about. Boring and beige probably sums him up.

Sadly?  For you guys maybe but the fear is, its to late, Brewster got sacked before Christmas and Butcher came in not long after, thankfully we are not cut adrift YET.

Brewster was sacked towards the end of January and Butcher came in a week later. Many believe that had Brewster been sacked at the beginning of January, we would've stayed up.

If Butcher had played Tokely at RB and Mihadjuks (sp) at CB against Falkirk we would've stayed up.

We certainly would've had more chance.  The most important game in our history and he played a player in defence out of position.  What was that all about?  Playing Michael Fraser, when he wasn't very good and already on the way out over Esson was also nonsense.  I do recollect something about a training ground bust up between Esson and Butcher though.

Maybe he told him his jokes were shite.

If yer auntie had baws....

If we beat St Mirren 3-1 instead of 2-1 in the first game post split, we hit the bar twice...

If we held on to a 2-1 lead at Motherwell in the 3rd game, we'd be safe with 2 games left, but we conceded with 11 mins to go...

If Hamilton had scored an extra goal against St Mirren on the last day... think it was 2-0 but they murdered them.

Anyway it was a great season in Div 1 after we went down 8)
