I would have had Bryden on to play alongside Dipo and provide a bit more energy up there. O Connor playing where Ashford was and Smith on for Murdoch or Dempsey. Or even try Smith where JML was as he has a decent cross on him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's literally one player on the books you'd trust to hit a barn door with a banjo and even he couldn't do that tonight. It says a lot that he stopped even bothering laying it off for other players towards the end because, well, what the f**k is Ashford going to do in the box? Head it off the opposition line again? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Thought we were decent tbh, controlled large parts of the game but we are just missing that bit of quality in the final third with the loss of Chalmers and Mullin. If Dipo was at it tonight we would have won that, but others clearly need to step up at times. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Watching that tonight made me slightly less bothered about missing out on the play-offs because we’d clearly do nothing in them anyway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mod1967 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Certainly strange how he stays on, possibly they like his energy, but little ability for me, McKenzie gets a 2 year deal and they don't think he can come on and do something which is strange......I'm assuming he was on the bench? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 It was a decent performance and a fair result between two very honest and very hard working teams who pretty much cancelled each other out. Ultimately we came up short again so it now looks like we'll be needing 3 points against Raith which will then make it a final day shootout up at Inverness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mod1967 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Yip don't think it was that bad, didn't think it was a classic, but I've seen far worse games, two honest teams lacking a bit of quality going forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muZZa__44 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 i was at the point i was wanting McKenzie to come on just to get Ashford off the pitch and McKenzie i say is worst on the wing then Ashford 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thereisalight.. Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Outwith the last 20 mins I thought it was a poor game. Had 0-0 written all over it after 10 mins. No doubt the Raith game will be hyped as another pRoMoTiOn!!!! must win game. Just got to hope ICT drop points in their next few games which is possible with one being v Dundee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Insipid. As I've come to expect at Somerset, this year. Albinson should have been man of the match. He kept us in that, he's certainly playing very well and has improved a lot since being backup to McAdams. I'm a bit frustrated at that tbh. It kind of epitomises the second half of this season. Other points to note: How Ashford played that whole match I'll never know. He had one good cross. We really need a new left back. Every team attacks us on that flank because of the inherent weakness. Why is Daire so good when he comes off the bench? Weirdly McAlear played well whereas Dempsey and Murdoch were a bit meh by their standards. Dipo was a wee bit selfish two or three times. One time he should have rolled it to Maguire instead he took a shot with a very narrow angle. I get why he did it as he's carried us all season. I'm a bit flat tbh. Just end the season now and get all the something historic chat in the fucking bin. A season of what might have been! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrAtlanta Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I don’t grudge anyone being excited for a game of fitba but how anyone could get butterflies about that game tonight needs checked out. Blatantly obvious that’s the performance we were going to churn out, as it so often has been. People talk about getting into the playoffs as if it’s a guaranteed promotion. We’d do nothing and it would mean watching some of them for 2 more games. End the season now please it’s just painful at this point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 We looked like we wanted to win the game tonight which was a big change, despite playing one up front, at home in a must win game. Queens Park didn't look like they could handle us early on but we just couldn't take advantage. They came on to a game in the second half and passed it round us without creating much other than Albinsons two great saves. Houston in the first half was dreadful, just looks like he is trying hard but has no confidence, nothing came off for him, he was a real weak link. McAlear put himself about and corners aside put a decent shift in, JML had a promising first half hour and then dropped out the game. All in all, unless Dipo creates some kind of magic, we find it really hard to score goals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanayr1987 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 For me the season petered out in December/January never really replaced chalmers or young who both contributed well to the first half of the season. Since then we have really struggled. I know it’s really har to recruit decent players in January but if we had tried to replace at least one of them it may have been so different. Maguire isn’t an adequate replacement in any way he was a gamble and it never worked unfortunately 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFC 1910 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 There are definitely a number of players that can’t be faulted for endeavour, but would benefit from a move away from Ayr - and be mutually beneficial. No disrespect to them, but they must know it themselves - I think we all know who they are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he'd be a season defining signing and a massive coup for Ayr. Quite shocked to see him struggle like this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
