Hursty Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Really hope I'm wrong but I can see a repeat of the absolute pumping we took at Arbroath under Hopkin next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally think he has took the team as for as he can 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I’ve said he should get the first quarter and then we have a look. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you honestly think he is the man to get us playing half decent football with the team he has at his disposal? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Chalmers is this seasons Dipo for Bullen. Except he's not going to give the same goal return, he will create many chances but is there going to be anyone on the end of them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m in the minority but I’m not particularly arsed about how well we play as long as we get points. Last season was the first season an Ayr team was able to get points in games that we didn’t play well in and despite what some people believe that wasn’t solely down to Akinyemi and was a team effort. He’s got six games left in this quarter and hopefully we see more of Chalmers, Amartey and McGeady in the same team with Pendlebury instead of Musonda in midfield. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barely got the ball to our front 4 yesterday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - you could argue that our three in behind the striker are very much up there with the best in the league. The difference in quality in behind them to get the best out of them is pretty wild though. I imagine they’ll get increasingly frustrated over the season if we don’t address some of those issues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If our recruitment is simply find a player who once played for a big clubs B team and played for an obscure country’s U21 then we really are in trouble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really doubt that’s the approach we’re taking but given last week we weren’t looking for any midfielders and then all of a sudden needed two at the end of the window I don’t think we’re in a position to be that fussy. I have no doubt he must have some technical ability to have lasted that long at a Premier League side which means that it’ll come down to his attitude. In saying all that I’d rather we forget about signing another midfielder and brought in another striker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to be fussy, as if we don’t get a good ball playing midfielder in we could quite easily be in a relegation battle IMO. We do also need a striker though as Bryden and Mckenzie are both technically horrific strikers. There are numerous utterly shite players in the under 23 premiership sides tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are looking at one more player coming in? I don't have much to add beyond what several others have said, but I think the interesting dynamic is what McGeady will be saying to Mathie. It's slightly unusual having a player with a dual role and reporting to someone other than the manager/first team coach. It will give Mathie another insight into Bullen's performance as a coach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amnarab Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 If you're looking for another loan attacking midfielder I'd inquire about Chris Mochrie availability from United. Guy needs first team starts. On loan to Dunfermline last season. Short term loan would be ideal for both 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
