Reid: We need a break
Published: 07 Feb 2010 - 14:32:05
Hamilton manager Billy Reid claimed his players were suffering from a run of bad breaks after they were denied a penalty at the end of a 1-0 derby defeat by Motherwell.Official Mike Tumilty waved away appeals deep in injury-time when Stevie Hammell appeared to charge Flavio Paixao off balance as the Hamilton substitute tried to force Martin Canning's header home at the back post.Lukas Jutkiewicz scrambled home the only goal in the 68th minute to keep Hamilton bottom of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League.Accies moved bottom following shock wins for Kilmarnock and Falkirk in midweek and Reid insists his men just need their luck to turn."It was a strong penalty claim," Reid said. "I haven't seen it yet but the players certainly thought it was. But we didn't get it and there's no point moaning."That's four games we've lost 1-0, I don't think anyone can deny we deserved a point. We just need a break, and we've not had one in recent weeks. The penalty could have been a break."
