When Dunfermline, Morton and Livi went up not every single player was Championship standard. They didn’t overhaul the squad. They made key changes and over time they have made changes. That’s what we need to be doing. Aye, and we were fucking shite until we started to overhaul the squad, we weren't far away from you lot last Christmas. There's evidently allot of sentiment going on in this thread, your squad, and in particular your defence, needs a massive overhaul. Moffat and Shankland would be fine at championship level, not sure about your midfield though. Crawford has been absolutely dug meat everytime I've watched him, has he improved massively?

Richey Edwards Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I know it sounds heartless, but I would rather we started preparing for next season as soon as possible. We don't want to end up chasing the players no-one else wants again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing is I can’t see McCall taking much of a break and will have an idea of who he wants to bring in straightaway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to be quick off the mark to give us the best possible chance of having a successful season. Well that's fair enough, but I'll let McCall worry about it. Saturday night was unbelievable and when I was walking down Ayr High Street in the sunshine on my lunch break, I still felt on top of the world, definitely wasn't agonising over next season's defence. Not ready to move on yet. Champions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this squad to bits for what they’ve achieved but as hard as it is, you can’t let sentiment cloud your objectives. That doesn’t mean however I want every one of them gone, we need to keep some kind of continuity and build from there. I think that often the step from League 1 to Championship can be underestimated. It’s colossal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s colossal. I love this squad but there's no room for sentiment in football. IMO we need at least a LB, two CBs, a RB, at least one new CM, a winger and a keeper. I'd definitely keep: Rose McDaid Shankland Hart (but NOT as first choice keeper!) Moore Forrest Crawford Docherty (if he can stay injury free) Moff, Adams, Bell and Geggan stay as squad players for their versatility. Everyone else goodbye and good luck! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrunitedfw Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I'd like our starting 11/Bench to resemble something like this next season: New GK Geggan Rose New CB New LB McDaid New CM New CM Crawford Moffat Shankland Subs:- Hart, Reid, Higgins, Bell, Kerr, Forrest, Moore 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 Just seen that St Mirren have released Josh Todd. Was he not on McCalls radar the last time we got promoted but went to Dumbarton? Some St Mirren fans seem surprised to see him go and think he was a pretty decent player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Looking at the average attendances from last season we should really be looking to beat Morton and sit around sixth - giving us a much better chance of survival if our budget is better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're an ayr fan and you're saying there's no place for sentiment? Read the chairman's message again and see if there's no room for sentiment. Don't be so daft. Yes there's a big difference between the leagues and yes we need to strengthen but players are not robots. They perform differently in different teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
