Accies boss Reid looking up

13 December 2009 10:25
Goals from Mickael Antoine-Curier and James Wesolowski gave the Accies a second successive win, which moved them up to seventh in the SPL.[LNB]A delighted Reid said: "People expect us to be at the bottom of the table but we never look down and we have a belief in what we are trying to do at the club. We think we can play in the right manner and we are progressing as a club.[LNB]"To come here and win is pleasing for us and I think over the 90 minutes we just deserved it.[LNB]"When Gary McDonald equalised it looked as though there was only going to be one winner and that was Aberdeen but we seemed to get a new lease of life and began to look more threatening."[LNB]The Accies boss was particularly pleased to see Australian midfielder Wesolowski score his first goal for the New Douglas Park side.[LNB]He said: "That was James' first senior goal, which is incredible because in training he is a great finisher but for some reason he has not managed to get on the scoresheet. I hope it is the first of many."[LNB]The Hamilton manager refused to criticise Lee Miller for a late challenge on his goalkeeper Tomas Cerny, who had to be withdrawn at half-time following the tackle.[LNB]"The ball was there to be won," he added. "He has hit the goalkeeper but I would expect my centre-forward to go in and try to win the ball. I have no problem with that."[LNB]Aberdeen manager Mark McGhee admitted his side did not deserve to take anything from the game after a lacklustre performance.[LNB]"I think we were out-fought and out-worked, particularly the younger, creative element of the team," he said.[LNB]"We didn't really fire or create enough today and we didn't keep the ball well enough. We were literally out-fought by a determined Hamilton team who went the distance. I can have no complaints as we didn't play well."[LNB]McGhee thought his side would go on and win after midfielder Gary McDonald equalised with 15 minutes to go.[LNB]He said: "If I was playing today I would have wanted us to go on and win after we got it back to 1-1 but there has to be an element of the team that are more cautious.[LNB]"One of the things we have said in the dressing room is that when you get it back to 1-1 you have to maintain a certain element of caution, while the other element of the team go on to try to win the game.[LNB]"Once we got back to 1-1 we shouldn't have lost the game."[LNB]But McGhee claimed his side's inconsistency was not down to a lack of belief.[LNB]He added: "It isn't to do with confidence. The younger players in the team still have to understand that football is not just about skill and taking people on.[LNB]"There is another side to the game which Hamilton demonstrated well today and that is determination, which can get you very far."[LNB][LNB][LNB]
