Gas falling quasi-spherically onto a black hole forms an inner accretion disc if its specific angular momentum $l$ exceeds $\lmin\sim r_gc$ where $r_g$ is the Schwarzschild radius. The standard disc model assumes $l\gg\lmin$. We argue that, in many black-hole sources, accretion flows have angular momenta just above the threshold for disc formation, $l\simgt\lmin$, and assess the accretion mechanism in this regime. In a range $\lmin
