We might as well roll it out for a fucking goal kick. McAlear is meant to be good at them, so surely we are better with him on them all rather than Reading - regardless of which side it is. There is nothing Paddy reading does that doesn't annoy me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point - I was actually thinking to myself that he wasn’t as catastrophically shite as normal on Saturday, but then he went and did three brain dead things in about a thirty second period. I can’t even remember what they all were, but sure one was an awful attempt at a tackle and then his trademark of being caught under a ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richey Edwards Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 When it comes to reading the game, Paddy Reading is illiterate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxanne's man Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 We complain about Paddy Reading but truth be told, he should have been replaced in January. He's been one of Ayrs weaker performers all season. Really, it was down to Bullen to improve the defence in January and didn't, hence why we're staring 5th place in the face 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I saw that he is out of contract in the summer. Good shout with Tumilty. I hope those two are on the shopping list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted April 10, 2023 Author Share Posted April 10, 2023 I really doubt we’ll be getting a new left back unless someone comes in for Reading. Best alternative is hoping Ecrepont can step up. Right back is a priority though and given both our current ones are out of contract there is no reason why we cannot upgrade in that position. Any of Tumilty, Lawson at Accies, Liam Smith or basically anyone better than Houston will do. Keep McAllister as cover. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb123! Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Tumuly signed an 18 month deal at Hamilton but i'd imagine there may be a relegation clause in it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s slow and it’s almost as if his body can’t do what his brain plans out. There were a few times when he tried to pick out the right pass but it didn’t work. I think when you play him then you need to give him options and unfortunately McKenzie and Ashford don’t do that. Was a gamble by the club getting him in but it’s not worked out for us. I think he’ll be away in the summer. Nailed it, when he was at Sunderland and Lincoln, he still had the physical ability to carry out what he was trying, but as mentioned above he's been out too long and I can't see him coming back to anywhere near that level. Reminds me of Defoe when he rejoined Sunderland, knew what he wanted to do but the body simply couldn't make it anymore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegomarahenry Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Maguire is like a lot of players in the team, being used wrong to fit a system that doesn't work making them look poorer than they actually are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
