Despite getting hammered 0-3 today and think this was mainly due to inept CH's and Colin Nish just being completely out his depth up front.
The new signings done well and were an improvement. IMO. CC needs (or needed) funds for more players as this run has been going on for over a year due to the poor standard of the players he inherited. No manager could do more with the squad we had. It's tiring listening to everyone wish for him to get the sack. Who would do better?!
He needs funds for at least 1 striker, 1 centre half, a goalkeeper. Is this possible this late in window???
Yogi, Petrie, board to blame. New signings, Booth, Wotherspoon, Miller, Hanlon and Riordan only players I'd keep.
I'm hurting but can't help but feel sorry for CC. Must wished he didn't take the job!

Think we've signed some players which will given support and time will begin to get us out this hole. But, I feel we need at least a striker and CB, possibly even two CB's. The GK on trial seems to be more essential than ever.

I am 100% behind him.
He knows full well what he's doing. Everyone else is losing their heads and ranting and raving and proclaiming Armageddon. Thankfully, he's coming across cooler than a cucumber. He's saying the things in public that he needs to so as not to rock the boat. Others interpret this as him being out of his depth and devoid of any clue.
Privately, I'm certain he's working away diligently and slowly but surely righting our plethora of wrongs.
In any case, it's too late to sack him now with 36 hours of the window left and furthermore, it's too late to bring someone else in (as if that would dramatically change things). This group of players have patently shown they're not up to it regardless of who's at the helm.
Let the man do his job and weed them out one by one. I am encouraged by his signings. Young, physical, hungry players with a point to prove. A few more of them to come in, aided and abetted by the progression of Wotherspoon, Hanlon, Byrne and the remarkably efficient Callum Booth and we'll be a completely different side.
We can change for changes sake, but the problem is not the manager. He's the solution. Our problems lie far deeper than the manager, I firmly believe he'll cure our considerable ills given the TIME and the SUPPORT from ourselves and most pertinently, the board of directors."Play for the name on the front of the jersey and the supporters will remember the name on the back"

I'm confused. Why do we need a new goalkeeper?
What's wrong with the one we had who, mysteriously, doesn't seem to now be playing?

Signings look good and what we need. We need to support CC anything else would be disastrous. Hopefully he can add another couple of players and can make bigger changes in the summer.

If we had their understanding between players we would have done better - biggest cuplrit being Miller - an experienced player like him should be doing better - the younger ones showed him up.
Since playing as a team will be important to our staying up I wouldn't have Riordan anywhere near the team - he just isn't a team player.

I suspect Brown had a fall-out with him. If he's been dropped on form I'd be none too pleased.
If it is a fall-out then good on CC. It's about time we had a disciplinarian at the club who is free of nepotism towards 'his boys'.
I doubt anyone truthfully knows outside of CC and Brown though."Play for the name on the front of the jersey and the supporters will remember the name on the back"

Any 11 an spl team put out should be beating a 2nd division part time side.

Anyway, keep poking the manager with a stick, booing our players and whatever else makes you all happy.

There were lots of signs of improvement today.
Scott worked hard, has no fear, picks the ball up in good areas, and drives forward.
Palsson has an eye for a pass, wins his tackles, and reads the game well.
Booth gets forward well, and if Galbraith's decision making was on today, he would have had a lot more influence in the game.
Towell looks an excellent prospect....sadly, it will probably be for Celtic.
It's a young team, and they will make mistakes. But that's OK, because it's Hamilton we're trying to cover more points that, not Dundee United or Hearts etc.
I know he's not flavour of the month, but Liam Miller looked like he was getting more involved today.
Nish is getting pelters.....but he managed to cause more problems in this game that we have in a long time IMO. Kenneth didn't like challanging him at all. The witch-hunt against him possibly partly fuelled by that fact that he isn't Derek Riordan.

Yep, thanks to Dickoh, mainly - signed by whom?
I knew about 'goal side' defending at 5yr old, probably Dickoh doesn't.
Anyway, black n white facts are a big loss and no goals.
Those of us that can look at it in more details can recognize what pish CC was left with and that his signings look really good.
Still, keep bashing our manager. Really helps.

lets face it, as long as Calderwood plays Dickoh, Smith & Nish there will be questions about his selections - the 3 of them are proven weak links and consistently let our football club down - pay their wages up and ship then out now,

CC thought he can rely on Hanlon to step in, and in the main, I think we all can.
As for Dickoh, I hope CC has something up his sleave and someone to sign.
Though he identified the midfield and RB positions as being clearly the worse, and looks to have very nicely sorted that out. We know he needs a CH, CF and a new keeper to, but a full side is a big task in the toughest window. Even big clubs don't always get what they want.
Been as peed of as everyone else the last year or two, but the new signings gave me some encouragement, and hope it's enough to stay up and I trust CC to build over the summer his full team.

But for the super soft goals we keep conceding I think we're putting together some decent passages of play.
Does anyone know why David Stevens isn't getting a chance to show what he can do at the back? He looked like he was confident & could play a bit - if he knows where to position himself at set plays he's got to be worth a try.
