Great teams don’t just win a title they steamroller there way to it. Never doubted them and wish I had put a bet on the invincible prediction I mentioned on here back in early November. COYB

On another day we could have won by 5 or 6 we were so far ahead as a team . However getting it wide and slinging balls in for Mciver continually to hopefully head home is a bit naive. ( and it seemed like our only plan. )Bottom line is that Annan had us sussed and dealt with our arial threat very well. As good as McIver is , he rarely smashes a ball into the net with his head or feet and is generally a link up man who,s main contribution is lay offs and excellent flick ons. Id love him to kick on and be a real no 9 and I believe he has it in him but too succeed but he will need to get a lot more aggressive and add a nasty edge to his game. Give him a few videos off Ally Mccoist to study as he continually fouled pushed shoved or kicked his way to make space in the box.

Also great debut from Dylan Tait he was absolute class with his energy passing and movement.Another great signing ?

For me the pedestrian pace we played at causes our problems first half -in particular we missed McCann and Yeats energy down the flanks. In addition I’ve never seen Allan do anything to justify signing him .Shanley looks to offer a lot more up top and should now cement his role to be back up striker. john McGlynns believe that his bench could all play championship football looks ludicrous now given they were out fought by a bunch of kids!

Still good enough to spot taggart playing with his faithers pit black boots wtf is that all about

Yeah the keeper is destined for a top career he gets more confident each week . I have to admit I was wrong about young Finn at right back . He also seems to get better with each game and is turning into a real asset. long May this form continue . Can we begin to dream of an ‘invincible ‘ season ?

Most jobs especially sporting roles carry a risk . There needs to be lots of education about the risks but ultimately the participant can choose not to .

I’m glad we didn’t have any injuries. On reflection we could have beaten this mob with the young team and a few bench warmers. Don’t think Our keeper had a save to make.Truth is Ayr are not and never have been a bigger club than us . I really don’t believe there’s any difference between league 1 & most of the championship

Sorry I don’t get the Allan is fine bit at all . Tonight he was our worst player. He suits a team who sit in & play on the break but for us he’s been v poor in almost every game he’s played.Yes he snatched a late goal at Cove but I’m sorry I just don’t see that he offers much !

Sorry Walker won’t play today. Not good enough or strong enough to start .The manager will only bring him on if we are 2 or 3 up. I would like to see him get 20 mins so we can judge better but I suspect he’s not ready yet.

3 or 4 up front at times in the first half - great play and point made I think !!

We want the midfield & fullbacks up the pitch whenever possible - once we start worrying about counterattacks from league 1 part timers then we’d be better off playing to avoid relegation. This league is full of shit that we should be able to blow away. So let’s have all out attack , goals and goalmouth action I’d rather play 3 up front than persist with 1.

Henderson is too weak at centre back as he demonstrated at the beginning of last season when he got ragged dolled most weeks .Much more suited to midfield. McKay is not great but is basically just cover behind lang , Donaldson & Mackie. Let’s pray that Donaldson is not out for long

Yes their keeper was terrible with the ball at his feet. Great second half today. I am due an apology to Finn Yates as I thought he was excellent For the record so was Donaldson I think lang being beside him helps him immensely. Let’s keep it up & stuff that wee shite next week!

Pack in the drama guys nobody wants to read that shit on here !

I’ve been away from this forum over the close season my gut feeling from the few games I’ve seen is we are about the same as last year and it’s 50/50 whether we will go up or not.( depends on how shit the completion are ) The one thing that surprises me not only the absence of a right back but the plaudits given to Finn as a stand in . I get it that he’s still young but IMO he’s not yet good enough to play first team football & certainly not at RB . We need to dip into the loan market soon and get someone with an engine who can beat a man and put in a cross.

Too small

We got the cash but the camper van is at his maws hoose in the kingdom - stop whining and enjoy your wee fife freebie

Yes world class but can still leave the boot in - partly why they are so effective in my opinion

What we need is bigger guys who can dish the dirt . I have had enough of prancing lightweight midgets being tossed aside by the opposition .MacIver is strong & awkward and will create opportunities for others .Now we need a bruiser centre half and a a centre mid who can leave his studs in where it hurts. We have enough football players already and IMO this signing is a step in the right direction at redressing the balance between ball players and brute strength that cost is everything last year .

The problem all season has been we are soft as shite and our match winner ( Morrison ) shits it when it matters. I was never really convinced by McGlynn as it’s obvious from his weekly sermons that he is thick as shit and doesn’t have the respect of the players- however expect the unexpected. On Saturday we can win 4-0 it’s just v unlikely. To save his neck McGlynn should go for it with 3 up top right from the start with Henderson one of them and forget the tippy tippy just get the ball in the box and fight . I don’t give a shit if we get beat 8-0 I’d rather that than possession football in our half for 70% of the time we have possesion - just fuckin go for it or gtf.

Need to drop Morrison he never beat his man once today.I would bring in Oliver play with Kennedy as the only winger and give him the freedom to drift where he wants . Its pretty obvious we are very lightweight and struggle to deal with the stronger sides Poor

That’s Mglynns job to figure out but he HAS to start. Every game from now on .

Burrell has scored 12 goals and yet has only started 3or 4 games. Great performance!

Play them both & drop Morrison as soon as he’s up against a decent player he goes AWAL
