Others may disagree here, but unless he cuts his wages then I'd expect him to be a higher earner which could be better used to fund more than one player. Additionally given his age, dwindling mobility and pace coupled with the increased physicality of League 1 - I'm not convinced he will bang in the bags of goals he or other think. Time to freshen up and find the next 'Billy'.

Uncle Roy is waving

Probably because he hadn't realised until the final whistle that we were so bad even god couldn't help

needs to have a poll listing your options for us to assess also noting we still currently have a contracted manager in Dunc.

Fingers crossed we can keep devine, both cammys, Hyde, bray and cairns maybe even Duffy to add with what we have. Wouldn't cry if Billy left especially if we could use the cash to fund some of these guys. Devine is our only real leader within the squad so we need a character like that to stay......

Pretty sure that's a prerequisite trait for almost all managers though especially in football. Ever seen one to admit they were wrong or change tactics? Unfortunately I think there is a reliance that Dunc had the contact to bring in players from elsewhere with Bollan knowing the scottish game especially lower leagues -Unfortunately dunc underestimated the level and type of players and qualities needed and bollan is proven useless at management and coaching below this level.

Not a comment specific to Carragher as such but while some or all players don't want to drop to league 1, I'm not convinced many have shown they are above or even equal to that level. Perhaps a few need to have long look at their expectations vs ability over the summer.

Gotta find content for their social media accounts

Can't be welcomed at both. He'd have to pick a flavour first which would determine his alignment

@IBM thank you. Maybe this thread can be pinned to the top now as its got the latest info and allows discussion on the squad next year. Top work pulling that together.

Struggling to find the thread posted before with the list of who's we still have contracted. I know Billy is signed but on recent evidence his legs are gone and he's in a steady decline. If his salary aligns with league 1 restrictions I'd try retain otherwise let him leave if he finds a better option. I can't recall the others, if anyone can help. There was a great detail speeadsheet list someone did?

Hamilton are an absolute bunch of hatchet merchants who will fit in well with the cloggers of Morton, Ayr and Airdrie in the Championship. Yesterday like much of the seasonwe were clueless, rudderless and lost for ideas. The team lacks leadership throughout. Too many players physically weak, not assertive and no confidence. Beyond those leaving anyways, there are still some needing cut loose. Ferguson and bollan showed by the substitute they had lost the plot and out of ideas. Chasing the game, 3 goals down in the tie we wanted to see the team step up and go for it. So instead of pushing our ariel threat and batter balls into the box, theforwards we bring on midgets and we focus on playing around the front of a congested 18 yard box. So easy for Hamilton. Rankin is no managerial genius and I think his team will be fighting off relegation next season. In no way were we the better team but Hamilton are not a good side. Big changes are needed and I don't think dunc and bollan are the ones to rebuild us.

Thinl positive but least all our league games next season will be 3pm Saturday.

Does anyone understand that we need 4 goals. Set up and play doesn't look like it

Ah you mean like when it was OK with marius nicule

Dunc may work for the club but maybe he's not employed by the club

Same youngsters that couldnt get game time at lower levels or did anything of note even at Highland league clubs. No chance they would be able to compete with a bunch of journeymen and cloggers at League One level unfortunately.

Agree. We saw the best of Hamilton and we didn't play well yet are still in this tie. With a bit of intensity and being more assertive there should be confidence we can go up a level, not so sure they can especially on real grass which further dilutes their advantage last night.

Continued calls for Mcgregor. Schrodinger cat.

Hamilton are an awful club who really bring nothing to the landscape of Scottish football - its bad enough irrelevances like Airdrie & Morton are in the Championship.

While I get peoples dislike for SG being at the club (and I am no fanboy either), statements like this keep being made. However, nobody ever substantiates it with the costs involved or define the club performance metrics set out by the board and whether he has delivered or otherwise (and if this is considered to represent value). It would also be interesting for fans to state what their expectations for SG performance would be?

Or having a DoF when a Championship club?

Interesting especially when you consider his cummulative time at roles within the club - manger 2 spells over 5 years and DoF 3 years - by my maths thats almost 8 years which is over a quarter of our existence - so plenty of time to have changed things for the better.

I hate Hamilton and this isn't cheering me up. Still live in hope it'll all click with our team and before the season ends we will play total football and issue an absolute doing with free flowing goals and football.

Agreed with that and understand how kids want but the catering costs vs quality we offer is shocking. Personally I grudge buying anything at the stadium now given its so poor.
