Gary Woods is sure that someone is going to be on the end of a real beating at the hands of Hamilton soon, after Accies missed numerous golden chances in the goalless draw with Kilmarnock.

Woods couldn’t believe his eyes as his teammates created and squandered several great openings at Rugby Park, and he feels that they have to be more ruthless in front of goal.

Once they manage that, he believes they will get the rewards that their performances deserve by racking up a huge score against an unfortunate rival.

“One game this season it will come altogether and we’ll go in at half-time 4-0 up,” Woods said.

“The performances so far this season have been high apart from Dundee last week when we didn’t really turn up.

“Other than that we’ve created a lot of chances. There’s not really been a team we’ve thought are much better than us.

“We’d a few opportunities without really testing the goalkeeper. We might have done better but that’s kind of been the story of the season so far.

“We’ve been creating a lot of chances and not converting them. A point might have been fair.

“Their keeper mad a great save towards the end. We limited them to very few chances. We were probably on top in the game.

“They’d a spell towards the end where they put on pressure which you’d expect from the home team but on another day we could have won 2-0.

“It’s all going to click together and some point and we’re going to give someone a doing.”

Accies were denied the chance to break the deadlock from the spot on two occasions by referee Euan Anderson.

While a claim for handball when Stevie Smith controlled the ball onto his arm would have been generous if given, a trip by Luke Hendrie on Dougie Imrie looked a far more credible shout.

“All the lads were saying it definitely should have been a penalty and there was the other handball,” said Woods.

“Some days it goes for you and some days it doesn’t. Dougie was through on goal so why is he going to go down? There’s no point – he’s got the ball under control.”

In the end, Woods grudgingly accepted the outcome of the match as he and his teammates tried to focus on the positives that came from their performance.

“We’ve come away with a clean sheet and a point,” he said.

“I’d a few saves but I’d have been disappointed if they’d gone in. It’s a clean sheet and another point on the board.”
