If we make Hamilton and Hastie our last signings does anyone think we have the necessary quality to push for the top two positions or potentially looking at battling it out for top four.. I think a lot depends on some unknowns - for example what Watret can provide from RB. We need to provide a pathway though, so I’m fine with us taking that risk of inconsistency. Also what Rus and Walker can offer us quality wise over the season. I think Oakley and Dowds are good strikers, but potentially not win the league style strikers. Henderson and McMann are obviously exceptional signings. I think you would need everything to come together perfectly to be pushing Raith and Partick. I cant see us challenging for the title with the squad we have. Playoffs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m definitely very interested in how two guys like that play together. Particularly with service from the likes of Murphy and Henderson. 5 minutes ago, itzdrk said: I cant see us challenging for the title with the squad we have. Playoffs. Yeah - thats what I’m thinking at the moment. Hopefully we can at least get off to a positive start and build some momentum though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muZZa__44 Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 We should be at the very minimum top half of the league but really we should be challenging for the playoffs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not the lone 12 year old target they were looking for though. Daft wee wanks. Bin. Aye but they might have found them there and you can't tweet photos of you and your pals taking a shoeing. #ahya #leathered isn't what they're after 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henderson and McMann are obviously exceptional signings. I think you would need everything to come together perfectly to be pushing Raith and Partick. I think if it clicks then we’ll be top four without a doubt. We look to have a great deal more depth than usual and Brown has done well to assemble a squad rather than just a starting eleven. I think Oakley and Dowds have the makings of a good partnership but it’s Rus I’m more excited to watch. He looks to have a real burst of pace over a short distance and looks like he’ll put himself about a bit as well. If we sign Hastie, Hamilton and Carse then the only position we’re lacking real quality depth in is up front but I said last week that was the last position we should be looking at until we got our defence and midfield covered so can’t really have any complaints. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F.T.O.F.1910 Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 (edited) I'm hopeful for a secure top 4. I'd bite your hand off for safe 4th as early as possible. I think Broon will drive for the best with what he has/gets, say maybe 2 more signings then a few loans in/out and that'll see us set. Hopefully with a contingency for January, should we need to bolster. Watching Rodgers in the dug out, watching the game, I had the thought of, I wonder what advise, if any he'll offer Broon in way of our players/set up so far? As a player I thought he was arrogant but I've been mighty impressed with him so far and he strikes me like he would listen to mentors, take any advice given and then implement that in his own way?

F.T.O.F.1910 Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 I also think with this years Championship being the most Championship league in years, that a hell of a lot of what's going to make any team successful is going to come down to management/coaching teams and I feel we're very well placed there! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrunitedfw Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 If we sign Hamilton, Hastie and Carse then I’d imagine that’ll be us done as well pretty much have two players for each position GK: Stone, Mutch (Ecrepont as back up until Mutch is back and then out on loan) RB- Watreat, McAllister RCB- Musonda, Hamilton LCB- Stanger, McMann LB, Reading, McMann RM: Murphy, Hastie RCM: Rus, Carse LCM: Dempsey, Murdoch LM: Henderson, Walker ST: Dowds, McKenzie ST: Oakley, Bryden In addition we have: Tomlinson, McGeady, Syla, McRoberts, Guthrie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Seems like a missed opportunity if they don't build a squad at least capable of challenging for first place this season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumper Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 There is absolutely no chance anyone actually from Ayr would go looking for fights on the High Street south of Newmarket Street. The only people there are desperate junkies, hill folk and baffled tourists. And the hill folk are all **** anyway. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpInTheAyr Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Not sure I'd be happy with a 4th place finish, or even 3rd.OK we don't have a squad that you'd say are title worthy as it stands, but that's where Brown comes in, it's his job to get more out of them. Next season I've got higher expectations from Brown than i do the squad. If that makes sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a few neds are fighting in the town but no one is around to see it. Did it really happen? Edited July 7 by UpInTheAyr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumper Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 On the subject of 30-40 minute queues: I have a mate who is a season holder and makes 60%+ away games every season, has done for two decades, and still routinely turns up five minutes before games start at e.g. Firhill or EEP and is surprised to miss half of the first half. Somerset absolutely spoils you. Especially at games featuring big crowds you'd be an idiot not to plan to be there half an hour early at most big grounds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must be turning up actively late because I'm sauntering in as close to 3pm as possible as well and I don't remember missing large parts of games. Except in Kirkcaldy where I couldn't be arsed leaving the pub until 20 past 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
