stevep56 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) What a weird league this is. It looks like Dunfermline are hitting a bit of form at the right time. Good chance we will be in 9th spot this time tomorrow. I am concerned that Brown still doesn’t know his best team and we are giving away too many easy goals. We need to get ourselves out of danger and not depend on others losing. Edited March 15 by stevep56 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another poor loss and I don’t see where we go from there… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we will find ourselves 9th one way or the other by the next home game and there's not huge amounts we can do about it .

Nelson Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Dunfermline were always going to get stronger as they got players back from injury. Inverness will no doubt kick us off the park again today (for the 300th time in living memory) and Morton will do likewise, so we’ll really need to take big points against Airdrie, Queens Park and Arbroath. In the end, you can only spend the money you’ve got, but I really thought the Rangers windfall would give us some room to bring in some quality in the transfer window. Not sure we’re helping ourselves at times though - the starting lineup at Dunfermline was a joke. Hopefully Brown has learned that it’s ok to put an extra man in the middle of the park some of the time. Chalmers has been pretty poor since about October, but he is surely a better option than Bryden. Clarke looks an absolute bombscare too, so hopefully we can bury the hatchet with Albinson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyrExile Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 11 hours ago, itzdrk said: Polite reminder I'm more interested to see how well our manager keeps the heid. Quite early in his career and been put in a difficult position despite getting results that would probably be enough in any other league. Quick to wield the axe if you have a bad performance and gets involved from the touchline like he's still on the pitch. ICT seemingly have all sorts of issues off the field so a draw minimum is needed today. Will be a tough few weeks ahead and lets hope he can find a settled team 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those clubs are a harsh lesson in what happens when you spend money you haven’t got! I remember us having to pay juniors little more than beer money back in the mid 2000s just to make up a team. Buying short term success that leads to that is pointless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were absolutely dire days to be an Ayr fan. Some Ayr teams those were. I've said it before but in any other industry you would be called a fucking idiot for throwing money at something that you had no chance of ever making back. Why some people seem to think that's a good business model for a football club is a complete mystery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott-ish Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 This squad doesn't fill me with hope. Chucking goals in every match doesn't help. We're over reliant on Murphy to produce every week which he's not going to be able to do. No attacking intent from midfield. I can't wait for this season to end with us hopefully in 8th place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I can’t wait till we hopefully limp to 8th place and have a clear out in the summer. Only players I’d be gutted to see leave is Chalmers and Murphy. Luckily Murphy is signed up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're not taking points from the teams in the bottom half of the league this month, then there's slim chance we're taking them from teams in the top half next month. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I think we're 50/50 for bottom two atm. Loss today and that'll shift a few points in the negative. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
