Who us? Mid table mediocrity our most likley end point. 8 points clear of 2nd bottom and only one point outside the top 4 currently. Plenty of ability in the team as you guys would know, but no depth at all. Edited October 30, 2018 by Distant Doonhamer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mgc1910 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Smart thing for Ayr to do would be to drop the asking price for Shankland in January but make it a condition that he is loaned back to us for the remainder of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superhursty7 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 They were good against Alloa but I’m not sure they’re quite Premiership quality.Murdoch maybe but I think Smith is a top class full back left or right 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd far rather he see' out the season as an Ayr player, then I will be happy to see him earning himself a tasty wedge in the summer, that's the best WIN WIN IMHO.

Mod1967 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Re Shankland, what about hunting all suiters and go for promotion, bit whacky I know but seeing your team succeed would be nice, both full backs were very good tonight and are learning all the time and have every chance of making it in the top league, that is unless we sell them on in January as well !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really have no depth to speak of and I just can`t see us sustaining a high enough level. Different if we strengthen in January though I don`t think the funds are there to allow that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as he sees out the season with us, who cares? It worked a treat for St Mirren last season with Lewis Morgan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harsh, Dobbie got the goals and the headlines but Dykes ragdolled us at Palmerston. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but we ain't getting fortunes with a few months left of his contract, as well letting the boy cash in while we use him as a selling point to future signings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 I can't say I've been overly impressed with most of the teams in the league.I must admit I was concerned in pre season that McCall might be underestimating the quality of teams in this league but both he and Kerr were right. There’s clearly a step up from League 1 but the teams aren’t massively better. Maybe we’ve been lucky that a few teams are massively underperforming but we can only beat what’s in front of us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may well be underperforming against us, then again, folk might just be underestimating us big style. Tonight is a perfect example, how many times have we beaten Alloa comfortably without being at our best, not many that I can remember.

Shankland won’t be at Ayr next season whatever happens. Swatting away cheeky 100k bids from Dundee is one thing, but the clubs looking at Shankland now are on a different level - a bid of 3-400k in January is very possible, particularly given there is interest from a few clubs. My hope is still that he signs a pre-contract and we keep him until after the title celebrations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think managers now know we’re not going away but if you constantly play the way we’re playing with high intensity then it becomes very hard to stop. Couple that with 11 players every week who are desperate to win and you’ve got a recipe for success. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ain't getting £300k/£400k in January when we put out a figure of £250k in the summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
