I think that something like this could work but it relies on the three behind the main striker chipping in with goals, or having a centre forward who can score 15-20 goals on their own.
That still has the likes of Chalmers, the youngsters from the reserves etc as other options should we change things. It isn't much of a change from the 3-4-2-1 McPake seems to prefer but means that Ritchie-Hosler can get further up the pitch, we don't need to rely on full backs for width and it gives Todd a settled position and role.
I think this would be excellent next season, maybe with Cammy Kerr offering Comrie some competition?
However I think that third midfield option, essentially replacing Allan has to be a robust combative midfielder, because when both Hamilton and Otoo have been out the team we have had no control of the midfield.

Get the new kits posted here as your club release them.
Ayr's new home strip. I love it, a very nice kit.
Nice kit but could they not have moved the gas canisters out of shot before taking the pictures?

There's no player in the team that I dislike so much that if they don't get punted I'd stay away, what if like to see is far better summer recruitment.
This. We are in the second tier of Scottish football we will always have a jobber or 2 in the squad. Hence the P&B Jobber Fund (temporarily supporting the meteorological rise of Mr Andrew Tod Jrn.)
Would need to be a Goodwillie type situation for an individual player to make me stay away from the ground. But each to their own their cash after all but I do think it's a strange place to draw a line.

I think the things that offend the eyes the most for me is a gilet/body warmer, suits and bucket hats.
No doubt some will disagree on suits.
Ill fitting suits do look ridiculous, especially if it's too big you can easily end up looking like that girl singing by some graveside funeral in Glasgow. Not the look.

agreed had we still had someone like Ross McArthur or Kip McBay or whomever in charge?
Problem with that is no one wanted to do do the job on a voluntary basis.
We were exceptionally lucky to have McArthur at the helm for so long and I still find it completely ridiculous the antics the very small minority got up to in the run up to him leaving.

Its also concerning that we have good defenders, but none of them can play well on a consistent basis without Benedictus there, apparently.
I think this is really key and whilst I totally get having Fisher and potentially MFW next year them and Breen don't really have the experience or maybe the confidence to marshall the defence.
So with that in mind do you say actually we have enough young defenders at the club, not look to bring in MFW and get an experienced player in instead? It's a difficult one for me.
Probably where you want a more vocal and commanding GK and CM to balance out a youthful backline.

Hosler and Todd are probably our only genuine match winners? The ones that can create or get us a goal with a bit of magic but they are stifled by the system the manager adopts. He needs to fix that
this season has been brutal to watch. To be fair so was last year but masked because we were winning
For Hosler I do think if he could be encouraged to run onto the ball more often (obviously players need to play good balls into the channels) but he seems to prefer a ball into feet every time which doesn't help stretch the game and attack quickly.
However he is obviously so much better wide in an attacking 3 that should only play RWB in an emergency.

I hope McPake has the courage to admit that some of his contract extensions were wrong, and tell these guys to find another club. (again I’m not naming players as I don’t want to spend time arguing and explaining myself)
Any prudent manager would be starting next seasons campaign on May 6th by fixing the obvious frailties our team has shown this season.
Hopefully he learns from those mistakes as well and doesn't repeat them.
I also hope next year we have a smarter use of the loan market other than MFW and MWH the others haven't been up to scratch consistently. Obviously it can be a bit of a gamble using the loan market but having so many players who don't enhance your squad is poor. I really don't see, for instance, why Brad Holmes is here when we also recalled Taylor Sutherland.

Driving up for this one. Any advice on best parking?
Plenty parking in the pleasure land itself, never had any bother there. Think there is some more parking north of the ground.

Incredibly tinpot to have the photos with the champions board in a virtually empty stadium.

Did the TV cameras get the on-field pavement dancing? Looked like one of the Airdrie fans took offence to the pitch invasion and started swinging.
Multiple cop cars and vans now arrived and several more passing me as I head back to the station!
Not really, looked like a few united fans getting taken away by the police. Could be Airdrie fans that had gone onto the pitch right enough. Strange one.

Goodwin out.
Would be very funny to sack him tonight, and not sure he could complain about it.
Suprised anyone is still awake let alone able to run onto the pitch

Madness:
Edinburgh Bus Station could be 'lost' over lease decision - BBC News
Edinburgh’s central bus station could be relocated to InglistonEdinburgh’s bus station could be forced to relocate after its owners told the city council its lease would not be extended.
Coal Pension Properties, which manages investments for former coal workers’ pension schemes, could look to sell the Elder Street site for housing. The local authority’s tenancy of the transport hub is due to expire in 2027. No replacement site has been identified, but the council’s transport spokesperson admitted the facility could be “lost”.
Councillor Scott Arthur the authority was “considering his options”. He said he was “disappointed that such a modern and well used piece of Edinburgh’s substitutable transport infrastructure may be lost”.
It is understood Ingliston Park and Ride could be used as a temporary measure if the station were to close, though councillors would prefer a site closer to the city centre.
The 18-stance station originally opened in 1957, but closed in 2000 as part of a £50m redevelopment project which also included the Harvey Nichols department store. A row over the fees for operators to use the station briefly threatened its reopening, with plans drawn up to move it to the nearby Waverley Railway Station in order to connect buses with train services. However it became operational again in February 2003 – four months after its initially scheduled completion date.
Seems weird not to just build the flats over the top of the bus station, effectively making the busses underground, like you would imagine it will be semi high-rise anyway.

Controversial here, but I'm not overly unhappy about Josh Edwards going. At the same time, if he signed new deal I'd be okay with that. He has a good engine, and is rarely injured but his inability to put a decent ball in the box is an issue. He will do it, but for large parts it usually ends up in the stand or out for a throw in on the other side.
If we can get six figures for him then excellent.
The grand plan since the ownership changed was to bring in young talent, improve them and sell them on. We haven't done enough of that.
If Edwards wants to go and the deal is right then I agree it should be done.
24 this year and knocking on the door of 200 appearances for us which isn't half bad.

Whilst I agree he is a poor official.
Kettlewell has lost the run of himself over this. Claims that Napier sprints over to give the red card when he clearly calmly walks over. Claims anyone who has played the game would have given a yellow, when Napier has played football. Also claims he was dishing out cards all game, when only 3 cards were given.
By all means criticise the referee but at least keep it legitimate and honest. It was also clearly a red card.
