If pendlebury is away then surely someone like Connor Smith in his place?  Can support in attack and chip in with a few goals from midfield

Thank God some of you had no input into us signing Shankland or Moffat first time around.

Junior dross and failed lower end Championship journeyman ??

Have we ever had a player called Roy before?

Because he was never going to be good enough to play for Brentford, he was brought in to help out the B team, be an experienced head and help the younger ones develop.

Interview with him above, fwiw he played in this game - https://www.brentfordfc.com/en/news/article/brentford-b-team-3-manchester-city-eds-2-match-report

And looked very decent. Morton took a B player on loan a few seasons back and he done well enough (Okansan), he was more highly rated, however the B team is better now that it was then. I think he'll be ok.

Thanks for the info.

Yeah, just said similar about the older head thing - but why would you possibly want to do that at his age when you should be out developing. 

We need far better than okay, I’ll be surprised if he is what we need but will find out soon enough!

Not really the same though is it - there isn’t anything wrong with having reservations based on what you can see about him - particularly given what we need in the middle of the park.

[Roxanne's man]

This could be one of the players that Bullen was aware of whilst a youth coach for Sheffield Wednesday. Bullen started at Ayr in January of last year, so it could be the case.

So quiet succinct early morning post tomorrow morning about Pendlebury release then? Then never to be spoken of again.

I'm hoping some help/input from Ayr fans. 

I'm currently working on the programme for Stuart Bannigan's testimonial and I want to include an article on his season (full?) at Ayr especially as it was a promotion winning one for Ayr

 Any recollections from his time at Somerset? Photos? 

One last question, who was the Ayr manager that season? 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Brian Reid was the manager m8.

ETA - From memory he was decent. Scored a few goals IIRC.

He'd been released by Barnet? Brentford gave him the chance to develop and learn under Premiership player and coaches. The improvement in him was pretty vast, he looked shit when he first joined, however by the time he left he looked an accomplished player.

Two starting CM's out injured long term.

One of our remaining CM's who signed only 2 months ago possibly leaving.

Unknown youngish players from English Premier League clubs in to replace them. 

Arbroath away on Saturday?

Yeah, fair enough initially but to go back to Brentford last season at the age of 22 and play against kids instead of going out and trying to get your career started is pretty odd. 

Bearing in mind Ayr need someone capable of going straight into the starting side and dictating games I’m not sure I’m too hopeful but as always he will get a chance.

Trying to look a bit more into Syla, and it seems like he was brought back to Brentford last season as a sort of older head for the younger guys in the 23’s. 

That is very strange - why would he want to do that at his age, unless there was absolutely no interest in him. 

So yeah - even more concerned with this one. 
 

Probably get better momey but I’ll admit it’s a bit unambitious if he had offers for first team football. 
 

Even in terms of loan moves it doesn’t look great. It’s generally up to the player whether they want to accept a loan move or stay at the club. If he’s knocked offers back to still with youth/reserve football then it’s a bit worrying.

To be announced as a footnote on the team announcement before Saturdays game or maybe even a line drop by Bullen in his pre match presser.
