HMIP Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I can definitely see why Moffat hasn’t been in the team. Persevering with dross like Adeloye was the right call. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrunitedfw Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 We got the win which is the main thing but for large spells of that game we looked no better than a middling league 2 team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegomarahenry Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Game was dreadful, Albion Rovers had us worked out and kept us quiet without really threatening. We continued with pitching high balls to Afolabi and it was heading to be a familiar result. The only bright spots were when we decided to play football on the deck rather than treat the ball like a live hand grenade, this happened maybe twice in the first half. There is so much apathy, only about a dozen folk boo’d at half time which Muirhead took exception to. If he thinks that recent performances and being second best to Albion Rovers isn’t worthy of booing, then you are part of the problem. The goal we conceded was a defensive shambles. There were several defensive howlers today but we only managed to concede from one. Against another team we’d have lost 3-4. After Albion Rovers scored, it looked like they changed from stopping up play to trying to see out the game, this benefited Ayr and we started to use the overlap more and play football. We were still rotten but at least we were trying to play positive football. Maxwell and O’Conner were frustrating to watch, so many wrong choices and bad final balls. Afolabi is surely not better than McKenzie. We looked better once Bradley came on. Moffat showed he’s still got it though, the space he was making and his intelligence is something we have missed this season. The reaction at the end summed up how things have been going. Hardly any applause, no booing, folk kind of just turned and left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly any applause, no booing, folk kind of just turned and left. Pretty much spot on. Am I right in saying that McGinty should have been marking Wright (who scored their goal)? We did have luck at times - Rovers had a great header that they should have scored from although you could also argue that Maxwell should have scored his one on one in the first half too. I thought he was offside for his goal, would definitely need to see that again. Too many long high balls again, until the players stop doing that we are going to be brutal to watch and struggle in every game. I go back to my original assessment of Afolabi - useless. No point in playing him again, just play McKenzie and let Afolabi go back to Celtic in January. Was Adeloye really injured in the warm-up? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muirhead can leave with the rest of them if that is his attitude tbh - he’s the captain FFS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trogdor Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Just in... can I just say that I fucking love Michael Moffat. A true legend, an assist, a goal and winning a penalty. Some boi! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryMc93 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Did find it confusing that Adeloye still warmed up with the subs and did the shooting drills before the match. Maybe couldn't be bothered taking off all the layers he had on to play in the actual game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For too long Scottish football clubs gave taken their support for granted, the clubs outwith the OF, that identify this and try and arrest the decline in numbers deserve all the success and positivity they get. Compare that with what we have to deal with currently and I'd say going back to the Barr days as well. No wonder we're at 6/700. At what figure do the club become concerned enough to do something about it? Lose people and you'll struggle to get them consistently back, that's a fact. Motherwell also have a pretty strong presence on social media. Their output tends to be top notch. Can't remember exactly who it was they employed but, it is someone who previously worked for STV. Obviously at their level and being well established in the league above they'll also have the infrastructure in place with full time staff to handle these things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
