Joe Morrison from Celtic who’s highly rated and local I reckon could be a shout with Brown in charge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUcal Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Aye I felt for Mutch, did well to make the initial save and rushed back across to try and block the second effort, despite having dislocated his shoulder. At first it seemed like his shoulder was back in, then when the physio stood him up it very clearly popped again. Felt we saw the game out very very well after that. Charlie didn't really have anything to do at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie didn't really have anything to do at all. Winced when I saw it pop out after the physio. Thought McGinty was fantastic today, very solid presence in a less-than secure defence. Some good play at times today, some ropey too but Broony definitely having an effect. 3 fine points gained. Good to have a bit more crowd atmosphere too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrAtlanta Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Unfortunate for Mutch and I’m by no means a GK coach but felt he was far too far over to the left at the goal which resulted in an overstretch for the ball. By no means writing him off but at this moment in time, I don’t think starting Tomlinson solves any issues at full back. Much better at attacking but really really poor defensively. Keep him for the future. McGinty was outstanding and I was pleased with Sanders and Musonda when brought on. Overall I’d be happy for Mutch to keep his place if he was fit. Brown clearly has an idea of what he is doing and a bit of common sense which at our level is all you can ask of a manager. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUcal Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) Really get the impression McGinty is relishing being a leader on the pitch under Brown at the moment. Don't get me wrong, McGinty always treated the captaincy properly, even when his playing form took dips - but I've really enjoyed watching him command our box in recent weeks. It's great to see.

super_carson Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 McGinty was definitely enjoying himself today, really enjoyed seeing him feeding off the crowd. There was one point where he headed the ball away with such ferocity that I'd not have been surprised if the ball burst. Tomlinson's transition to full back/wing back won't happen over night and there's going to be some mistakes along with way. He did well going forward but the defensive awareness will develop over time. Also, delighted for Dowds. He works incredibly hard every week and must have been frustrated that he hadn't scored for a while. Hopefully this starts a wee run of goals! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Terrace Gazza Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Felt we got a bit lucky today. Not much between the two teams. Tomlinson did well going forward but was skinned too easily defensively, he’s clearly not a full back. MacKenzie and Bryden were passengers. McGinty was Suberb as was Dowds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muZZa__44 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Reckon next game have Stanger at RB, Chalmers for Bryden and then I would give Willoughby a start ahead of McKenzie (and obviously start Albinson) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the start would give him the minutes to contribute, but mckenzie has been decent up until today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Passionate Posted February 17 Popular Post Share Posted February 17 Just a special mention to the Ayr fans that made the journey today, The minutes silence was respected by all, and you could hear a pin drop, in what was a emotional time for a lot of Airdrie diehards, these moments of respect more often than not end up a car crash... Respect , Thanks and enjoy your night... 24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a bit harsh I won’t lie and I do like McKenzie but I am curious to see what Willoughby could offer same with McHugh but I can’t see him getting a start barring an injury 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 2 hours ago, edinburghhonestman said: I thought that was a decent performance from us. Great hat trick from Dowds, McGinty was excellent and the general shape when Airdrie had the ball was good and made it hard to play through us. What l didn't like was how narrow the full backs defended. That's clearly coached, but I prefer to see them wider, particularly if the opposition are going to hug the line Tomlinson made a mistake for the first goal but hopefully he'll learn from that as he offers a lot going forward. I didn't think it was a free kick for Airdrie's second but we managed the last few minutes really well. Clearly Brown is having an impact as before we'd tend to sit back. We'd sit back and Bullen would sub all the attackers for defensive players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it'd be 50/50 as to whether McGinty would survive under someone like Brown 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought McHugh looked decent in the few minutes he has played so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
