CALDERON Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Just about worth our lead. Ayr look tidy going forward but not up to much at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonicsco Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Getting very scrappy ! Forrest should of scored and Thomson lucky to get away with a rugby tackle at a corner. Mostly Ayr just now. [emoji36] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raithie Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 That'll do me, nice one Rovers. Two goals, clean sheet, can't complain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Relatively comfortable towards the end with both teams looking poor defensively. Great to see two of our youth products get the goals, especially Matthews. We utterly dominated the centre of the park. Jordan Thomson added a lot going forward. Overall a good result for us. Great to see the players and fans having a laugh at the end.Also, that number 6 for Ayr was utterly rancid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Locke in. Aye that was pretty good bar a wee 10 min spell in second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 We badly need the 3/4 starting players in by next weekend. As expected Murphy doesn't have the legs for this level while Donald was barely good enough for league one. On the plus side Forrest was decent enough, as was Cairney at times. We were also better second half as Raith were miles in front in the first. Over to you McCall as that team isn't remotely good enough. Edited to add that Raith were very good going forward at times but not the best in defence. That M'Voto was dreadful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrmad Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 10th place is looking good unless we strengthen significantly. Raith were faster all over the pitch for most of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always knew we would struggle without some quality additions but Raith although good on the counter attack were pretty average tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibuya Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Jesus Christ that was putrid. Miles off the pace and we'll beaten by a quicker, stronger team. Cairney needs to play deeper and we are hugely missing a creative spark going forward. Even Paddy Boyle was rubbish and that's not like him.

AUFC 1910 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Same team as last year bar a couple. 1st division team basically. Don't expect anything more until the team changes. Still, we are here. Rather be pumped in championship than in the 1st division [emoji14] happy days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Interesting that McCall didn't start Thomas either and opted for someone who didn't start up front once last season. Worrying if he already doesn't rate him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUFC 1910 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Cracks, paper, etc. Gaffer wants but can't get. We are small fry in this division. But it is not all doom and gloom. Seaside leagues anyone? No thanks, not for me. 10th place - expected. 9th place - a bonus. 8th place - a fantastic season. No team should get beaten by us this season, we couldn't win the 1st, we are part time and have just come up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Great result.Two points clear of United already. [emoji1] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonicsco Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Thought 1st half we were good could of easily been 4-0 up at half time ! 2nd half we were poor up Untill we made some changes. Ayr should of scored with Forrest clear thought. Was two impressed with out defending benny was solid but Thomson and m'voto need to improve both clearly holding players in set plays that will lose us penalties. M'voto did not impress me at all bates looked more solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojito Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Boom.Good solid start from the boys! Will be interesting to see how our defence handles a slightly more competent attack.Still great to get 3 points chalked up in the board from an away game.

diegomarahenry Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Ayr did ok defensively, but struggled to pass the ball at all, Crawford had one of his bad games and I would have subbed him for Wardrope early on, Adams was poor as well. We came back in to it a bit when McGuffie came on and we went with two up front but never got any breaks of the ball or decisions from the ref all game. Raith looked dreadful at the back, 3 out of the back 4 look like total bomb scares on the few occasions we got in about them, their midfield dominated the game though, we never had time on the ball and cut out most of Ayrs passes. Forrest did well, as did McGuffie when he came on, Cairney was ok as well. Donald, Boyle, Crawford and Adams, not so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
