We really need Hamilton fans to give us more of an insight though. I remember opening League cup game in the McCall relegation year, penalty after 2 mins, Forrest scores and the Hamilton fans are singing about sacking Canning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 (edited) Your surely not appointing Canning? Be aswell keeping Duffy until the end of the season. A total loser of a manager who lives on completely shitfesting Hamilton to safety a couple of times despite taking over a squad that could comfortably have finished much higher for a couple of years. He took over a Hamilton side sitting 3rd in the league in mid-January with 5 losses all season, and went on to lose his first 4 games, winless in 13. I don't think they ever even looked like finishing higher than 10th in any full season he was there. He then demolished that squad, which remember had been 3rd in January, and turned them into a total clownshoe outfit who pretty much survived the bottom two by either 1 point or goal difference every season as he couldn't spot a player to save himself. His tactics consisteted of him trying to create a shitfest, hoofball, outfit, but being totally unable to do that so his sides were just camped deep and wide open. A totally bizarre appointment which suggests absolutely no lessons have been learned after Hopkin or Duffy.

Did Jobby not come out after that game and have a go at the away fans for being too harsh? They seemed to shout for his head every single time Accies conceded a goal in his tenure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because he took over the best Hamilton squad theres likely ever been, who were cast iron certainties for Europe in a really weak top flight, and dragged them into a horrendous winless run before destroying the squad and tactics over a Summer. Keeping them up a few times is the minimum he should've achieved with the squad he inherited. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping them up a few times is the minimum he should've achieved with the squad he inherited.It’s impossible to say with any certainty what a team was going to achieve. Alex Neil is also one of the best managers they had and once he left they were never going to keep their run up. Would’ve likely fell away even if Neil stayed. Still, it’s an entirely different situation if he gets the Ayr job tbh. Mathie will help him out a great deal and there will be a budget in place that will help build him a decent team. I can guarantee you that I’d rather roll the dice with him that stick with Duffy, who would’ve definitely taken us down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder they hated him, no wins in his first 13 league matches. Hard to recover without going a really good run at some point IMO. Whether it was too early or just the wrong fit I don't know but he did bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it was too early or just the wrong fit I don't know but he did bad. Aye he never got any sort of new manager bounce in the beginning and at no point in his tenure did he get a run of wins together to start looking up the table. Couple that with as you say his better players wanting to leave and the whole club looking like a shambles off the park and he was really up against it. Kinda strikes me as a Mark Kerr situation where he was never ready for management and never got the chance to be properly bedded in. Maybe he’s learnt from his mistakes and maybe the infrastructure we’re building off the park will be better suited to him but there’s really no way to know. As I said, Mathie has convinced me that whoever we get in deserved a bit of good will so I’ll support the guy until he starts making it worse. It would take a tremendous effort from him to make it worse than it already is in fairness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what made the Ayr United team that narrowly avoided relegation to League 2 fucking amazing. Craig Beattie at centreback. Poundland Stevo in midfield.

Club signing random players like Paul Slane full time, Roberts saying it's great cause he'll get to.work on stuff with him. Slane picking the ball on the right wing and running it out of play on the left wing every time JP McGovern arrives a winger and finishes the season as a centre back alongside Nicky Devlin via central midfield. This year our goalie threw some toilet roll 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
