Topic: McFake out!
341. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Sun 3rd Nov 2024. 08:07 Boomer, Sat 2 Nov 23:21 Bannockburn Par your suggestion to stay away is spot on. We don’t need bell ends like you so please do as you say. We were not outplayed today a mistake cost a goal and Hammy would have scored 9 out of 10. McPake makes mistakes as do the players but the effort can’t be faulted imo. Hamilton would not score that chance 9 out of 10 times…… Reply

Hamilton would not score that chance 9 out of 10 times…… I`d like to know how anyone can conclude that any player would/would not score 9 times out of 10 (or any other percentage) from any given chance. I`ll bet you even the player himself wouldn`t be able to guess with any certainty. Not your average Sunday League player. Reply
343. Author: Berkey Date: Sun 3rd Nov 2024. 08:35 My point was the squad is not good enough in an attacking sense. Cooper is lightweight and making a massive step up to this level, in an ideal world he’d be on loan at a league 1 team this season so he’s unlikely to make any impact against a team sitting in. Wighton is wighton, not a target man not a Willing runner, what’s he going to do again against a team sitting in. KRH came on and we decided to go down the the other side most of the time. Who in this squad is good in the air outside of the centre backs? We have no focal point to the team. Ashcroft won everything with ease. I agree for all Hamilton wears his heart on his sleeve and puts a shift in it doesn’t mean he’s good enough to take us further than where we currently are.

344. Author: Ahoy!Ahoy! Date: Sun 3rd Nov 2024. 08:35 Ian Murray is free and would have this team playing a lot better. As other have stated, we’re stuck with him until this takeover happens but if we don’t beat Airdrie at home in a couple of weeks he would surely have to get punted at 5pm. Reply

I`ll bet you even the player himself wouldn`t be able to guess with any certainty. This is literally what expected goals (xG) data determines. For example, a penalty kick has a xG value of 0.78, which means penalties should be scored on ‘average’ 78% of the time. Post Edited (Sun 03 Nov 08:39) Reply
346. Author: JTH123 Date: Sun 3rd Nov 2024. 09:34 Ahoy!Ahoy!, Sun 3 Nov 08:35 Ian Murray is free and would have this team playing a lot better. Hard to disagree with this when I think back to his team swarming over the opposition in some games last season. That approach would be a breath of fresh air. Reply

Author: Buster_Brown Date: Sun 3rd Nov 2024. 11:16 Berkey, Sun 3 Nov 08:35 Cooper is lightweight and making a massive step up to this level, in an ideal world he’d be on loan at a league 1 team this season so he’s unlikely to make any impact against a team sitting in. Exactly, I think there was a reason he was a bench warmer at Stirling in League 2 and last season in League 1. Darren Young pretty much did with him what McPake is doing. However, McPake and Mackay have judged him good enough to make the step up, I’m not sure he can, but he’s lively and forces errors, which others in the squad don’t do. On ability though, he’s as you said, just not going to break down teams at this level who sit in. I’m not sure what a loan back to League 1 would achieve personally, he’s already been there, he’s either good enough for the here and now or he’s not. Ahoy!Ahoy!, Sun 3 Nov 08:35 Ian Murray is free and would have this team playing a lot better. Totally agree, he’s the obvious man. My fear is that someone (suppose it would only really be a return to Airdrie or a move to Morton) swoops in for him while our board are still wondering if McPake is going to work or not. Reply

355. Author: Berkey Date: Sun 3rd Nov 2024. 19:04 We won’t lose a £1m if we go down as we are more fortunate that a larger number of players will be out of contract at the end of the season where last time there were not as many and everyone we we could let go were let go.

Who calculated Hammy`s xG? 🤔😃 Data providers such as Wyscout will calculate xG values of individual shots, but I don’t have access to Wyscout anymore. However, I can categorically state that Hamilton’s chance was not 0.9xG, 90% chance or 9/10 times. Yet, it would definitely be classified as a big chance, which I think means it would have been over 0.4xG. Having watched it back on the highlights he should at least be hitting the target and giving the GK or the defender something to do. Reply

358. Author: wulliepar57 Date: Sat 9th Nov 2024. 17:14 He should be gone ! But we know it isn`t going to happen Today we were beaten by a team that isn`t a good team , and they have done the double over us now ! So it let`s you see how bad we are as a team I still reckon the right man would get more from this bunch of players though Reply
