North Terrace Gazza Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 He should never have left and we would still be a championship team, really struggling to forgive him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he didn't it's pretty obvious that he would have been happier at Somerset. The manager and owner stood by him and offered him a good a contract. Yes he moved for slightly more money but by all accounts his family haven't settled in Dunfermline and in hindsight he would probably agree that staying at Ayr was the right move for him. If he had stayed I'm sure we would have survived in the championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caldwell was dross and Trouten could barely get a game. Would like to have kept Preston, but at times he could be very ineffective particularly when he came up against a strong centre half. I suspect he might have struggled at championship level, though I'm sure he would have offered more than O'connell, Thomas, Nisbet or El Alagui (put together). Devlin aside, we had no pace in the wide areas with our midfield dreadfully one paced. This to me was the major issue that needed addressing last Summer and wasn't.

Okay what I meant was that if he had stayed then he would have helped get us promoted and then kept us up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think there will be 2 or 3 teams ahead of us as things stand. McCall has a lot of work to do this pre season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reid might have been more used to relegation dog fights but I'd take McCall in the dug out over Reid. When did Reid gain all this experience of relegation dog fights and when did McCall suddenly lose all his? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devlin aside, we had no pace in the wide areas with our midfield dreadfully one paced. This to me was the major issue that needed addressing last Summer and wasn't. Caldwell's spell at Morton and Trouten's first at Brechin would suggest that both were capable of being very handy players at League 1 level. I am essentially agreeing with you though in that there's a clear pattern of McCall being unable to figure out how to adapt his tactics to get the best out of players with a proven track record (despite, in Trouten's case, literally being shown by Brechin the season before how to make him one of the most effective players in the league), and that it's likely to continue.
