Dauntless

In England they can have a beer in the concourse before ,at half time and after . In Scotland we have the old firm . Surely Smith can muscle a bar into the new stand with a small beer garden behind it ? Still plenty of unused space .

100% . away fans in the Railway End .

Just got a feeling Logan has signed a pre with one of our rivals ...

100% bang on . I grew up in a council house south of the river as did all my mates . All of us did just fine . Sometimes school isn't the only place you can learn .

Have we sold out our allocation yet ?

If Scott Brown ever settled for a first 11 in the next few weeks, then add Logan at the expense of Armartey to the above and that'll be his best team Id reckon .

Tend to agree here .

all of it and right back

loan ?

here we go .

I'd be giving Fraser all the minutes we can until the window , then out on loan , while being replaced by a new quality second striker . Assess Fraser at the end of the season .

I think you'd want to swap Syla and Young round in that line up but yeah worth a go . The problem with 442 containing two wingers and two strikers is that the team needs to keep the ball and the wingers and strikers must be on it . We struggle to keep the ball and as was said so far our second striker choices haven't done it at all . It would be great to bring Cammy Smith back from England at Christmas , only got six months left on his contract and not getting huge game time . Talking about Smiths the other one, Liam, is in a similar situation at Cheltenham . Would love to see both back ,but maybe too much to ask at this point .

Both ....Getting the prize money in the next round forgives a poor winning performance in the previous round .Taken in isolation . If however making a habit of scraping through is the bigger picture then pressure will mount as its not good enough for a full time professional club to continually struggle with part time lower league teams ....

I'd say it was more in common with last season's scrape throughs against Pollock and Elgin . Which really isn't good enough as a bigger picture . A one off yes but a trend of near things against lower and non league opposition isn't good enough .

Again bang on .

In the cup it really doesn't matter .

Correct

Best post on in the last 24 hours , standing alone amongst the disappointment of Ayr United getting into the next round of the cup . wow .

agree 100% .

Explain if you have the time , if not trot on Percy ...

Ayr United isn't the basket case some on Pie and Bovril would have you believe , our new £1 million plus stand will be ready for next season , plans have been approved by the council for another building , on the stand/away end corner , housing a gym and community rooms for the local area to use , the car park has been done and the Hub has been up and running for a while now ,pouring its profits into the club coffers . The new stand will quadruple our hospitality income , it will also earn non Saturday monies doing business meetings , 21' birthdays etc etc . Rumours abound that the club will be buying the land behind the ground when the price is right and putting in training pitches and a home for the reserves and ladies team . On top of that we sold a player in the summer for a reported fee of £300,000 ,which has to be part of our business model . On the community side we have done outreach to the local schools etc ,open training sessions ,fun days and all that good stuff . So really not in a bad place off the pitch . On the pitch though is where things are not in the perfect fit category at this point , a young and fragile team is what we have at the moment . However I am confident we'll still be in the Championship next season . So in the summer the whole playing operation will come under severe scrutiny , the amount of changes made will be a pointer to our direction of travel for the 24/25 season . We'll just have to wait an see .

From what I saw of Rovers last season they had a pretty good team and played nice stuff , but they had no punch up front . They have sorted that out in the summer and brought in some good player . Players that we couldn't get i.e Mullen . Not that I'm complaining on that one as Murphy is just as good . Ian Murray has been a good appointment but was sacked at St Mirren and couldn't get Airdrie up . So very much a chipped cup as they say, but it worked . Ayr fans should bear that in mind the next time we're looking for a new manager . Sometimes guys are just a perfect fit regardless of their CV's . We haven't god all our shit in a pile yet as everyone knows but for sure its coming . Every month something is done on the infrastructure front ,all of which will bring in sustainable revenue . Eventually the perfect storm will occur . Sometimes you just have to wait .

How many has he bagged for us so far ? Is it 5 ?

Think you might be incorrect there .

I think there is much more to come as well .
