With Ayrs policy of not telling us who is fit and available, we only know Dowds won’t be playing.
If Reading and Stanger are out again, we will most likely be on the end of a thumping. Murphy was a doubt on Saturday and went off after an hour but he seemed to be moving ok.
With Dowds being out, we need Chalmers and Murphy to be on it. We’ll either start with Willoughby, who has played about 30 minutes over 5 sub appearances and has touched the ball less that 10 times in total, or Bryden, who is capable but raw, young and inconsistent . If it’s not Willoughby then I don’t know why we brought him in or what scouting we actually did on him.
It’ll be a narrow Ayr win or Thistle will score 4 or 5 or both.

Well it doesn’t get harder than those three teams as they are factually the three top teams in the league. It’s not rocket science.
We did narrowly lose both games. We were well worth a point against Dundee United. Both teams are better than we are both in starting eleven and in terms of who they can bring off the bench.
If you want to be pedantic yes, if you want to look at it realistically, Raith, one win in 5 until yesterday and Thistle, one win in 5 including yesterday.
Your second point, he has signed 4 players since he came in and we are worse off than we were before the window in terms of numbers and quality. You can moan that Raith have more money or Dundee United have more money but Raiths winter business, the same number of players in... was two loans from Dundee, one from Ross county and one from St Johnstone. Obviously we can't possibly sign loan players from teams of that calibre.
We can't compete because of the quality Raith have on the bench? How about we stop signing absolute shite.

I have no idea how anyone can read those comments and come to the conclusion that we’re back to being plucky wee Ayr?
Saying that I’ve no idea how anyone can make yesterday’s result about the new goalkeeper either but there you go.
He's making out that we narrowly lost to two massive teams. He said post match that the first three home games are Dundee United, Raith and Thistle, The top three, it doesn't get harder than that. It's not Liverpool, Man City and Arsenal we are playing.

Given Albinson chucked two in on his last appearance and the keeper did nothing wrong, I’m not sure how it was an error though?
The keeper never shouted once during the first two goals. You need a keeper to keep the defence in order. There is every chance he didn't know their names

Aye. Most of The gripes I’ve read about him are about him not shouting enough. He’s 19 and got drafted in today to take the place of the established goalie. Maybe nerves got the better of him in that department. But he was otherwise pretty good. He looked confident enough to take the ball and make the smart pass as opposed to just hoofing it.
It was Sanders in front of him that was the bombscare.
I don't blame the keeper, I blame the decision to play him in a game where we had a makeshift defence and he'd played one senior game before.
Tomlinson last week and Clarke this week have been errors we could have been avoided.

Basically one Raith player in the 18 yard box and the centre half picking up the one Raith forward is a good 10 yards from him, facing the wrong way and completely asleep.
The keeper is rooted to his line, despite the defender being in completely in the wrong place.
Absolute school boy stuff. Armatures would get bollocked for that kind of defending.
This angle is even worse
He is the right side of Rudden
He sees Rudden
He completely loses the ball and the man.
Within 2 seconds he has lost 5 yards on Rudden.

I don’t want to be too harsh on Syla either - he gave the ball away but that’s going to happen as well at times and he has been good recently.

Keep the heid lads. Brown & Whittaker know what they are doing.
I'm confident we'll stay up and they are under no illusions on the size of overhaul this squad needs!
I agree with the first part, we have been a lot more professional since they took over but the rebuild, I have major concerns over that.

Back to being plucky wee Ayr.
We could have won if the defender we signed could defend a high ball and the keeper could shout “fucking clear it”An average Dundee United team and a Raith team that had won one in 6 games and we only lost by fine margins…..

He was absolutely ball watching. Never spoke to the keeper and the keeper never spoke to him.

Ooft! That must have been a sore one.
I forget he played for Ayr. Was he on loan?
He signed. He was a team mate of Daziels at Raith and signed for him pretty early on after he took over.
11 minutes ago, Chubbychops said:Always thought Albinson looked really good the times I've seen him. Bit surprised at you guys wanting him punted. Swap you for Mehmet.
he was average when we signed him, he was very good last season and this season he has been a bit suspect. He was dropped by Bullen after he gifted a goal earlier in the season, Mutch came in and was poor and Albinson came back in.
it seemed harsh that Albinson was dropped at the time, Mutch made a couple of howlers when he came in and was rightly dropped.Albinson came back in for the Dundee United game and was at fault for both goals. He was dropped again for the Airdrie game, he came on when Mutch got injured.
Everyone out of the inner circle at the club assumed signing Clarke was cover for Albinson. For him to come straight in is a massive slap In the face of Albinson and sends a message that he is persona non grata at the club. He’s not been as good as last season but hasn’t been dreadful. He also doesn’t seem to deserve the treatment he’s getting from the club.

I remember him getting the ball cannoned off his dish during the Stenny game and he fell and got back up about five times in rapid succession.
A game saving block.
I remember Danny Lennon signed for Ayr and on his debut, joined the wall at a Thistle free kick. The Thistle player rattled the free kick right in Lennons face. He went down like a felled tree, straight backwards.
there was a brief silence, broken by a Thistle fan laughing like a fucking drain from behind the goal.

Sanders selling the jerseys at the second goal and blaming the sun which was behind him tells a lot about him as a player as well.
He’d already sold it at the first

Performance wise today, had we equalised, no one would have complained about it. I think we were fine and competed well. Raith didn’t have many chances and we had them pinned back for a lot of the game. They contained Dowds and McKenzie pretty much completely.
Mistakes cost us in the first half and having no left back overlapping didn’t help.
Murphy has been player of the year so far for me. Absolutely velvet player.

You have to take the rough with the smooth when Chalmers is concerned, if he was even 60% consistent he’d be playing outside Scotland.

Yeah fair. I had high(er) hopes for the window and kept an open mind but the signings have not been what I had hoped for.
Sanders had a Knudsen type game where almost anything he did was a calamity. Raith had 3 shots on goal in the first half and all 3 were the exact same ball over his head that he stood and watched.

A performance so bad he was dropped in favour of a 19 year old loanee who was just signed this morning?
Not buying it.
Playing in front of a makeshift defence. It’s either a problem with Albinson and the club or a massive call by Brown that has effectively ended Albinson career at Ayr.

McHugh looked for the ball and tried to get involved but just ran from Side to side and played easy passes. Willoughby had good movement but didn’t really do anything.
Sanders. f**k.me0 -

Aye this. f**k me, we are so brutal to watch sometimes.
Things have improved a bit of late, but you can't polish a shite. I hope we have a huge turnover in the summer.
Seeing the shite that Brown has sanctioned doesn’t give me much hope.

Thank f**k Ayr United played if it’d just been our players on the pitch it’d been 0-0.

A frustrating game but i’m more annoyed at the club that the team.
if we bring in a full back during the window, we don’t end up with that carthorse at centre half. We play a keeper who has played one senior game and they both manage to cost us the first goal.
The players we have brought in have been either poor or invisible.
Finding out that the players that were out were actually fit and the players that were fit were actually out worked wonders today. Just fucking stop it. Tell us who is fit, why Albinson has been dropped for a child that can’t speak and why Reading didn’t play and how long he’ll be out for.

Raith were gifted two goals and we limited them to very few chances, we spent a lot of the game with Raith hemmed in to their own half without putting a ball in their box.
We were always going to struggle with the players that were out but its players playing in their natural position that fucked us.

If we signed Forrest, it would be on loan. We couldn’t sign him outright because there are probably about 8 clubs in the Premier and at least 2 teams in the Championship that would take him before us.
Even if it’s a loan deal, of those 10 clubs, they would be able to offer a higher wage % than we could. Which makes a loan move unlikely.
Unless Celtic are doing us a favour and don’t want him to go on loan to another team in their league(both unlikely) or the player is desperate to play for us and willing to take a huge wage cut(unlikely) I don’t see him signing for us.
