Doc was the only one who got pass marks yesterday and must go into anchor the midfield until the real Andy Murdoch turns up . The 4-1-4-1 allows Kelly (the goal scoring midfielder we've been waiting for) to concentrate on attacking . Moffat on alone is far from ideal but allows us to replace him on the hour with Doolan when the tank is emptied . There is little chance Roscoe can deal with an operator like Sutton at the moment , that's a job Muirhead will relish .Quite why he was on the bench yesterday is beyond me . In Roscoe's defence ,he has time . I remember Rose's debut at Palmerston a few years ago , Roscoe will get better ,I hope . Geggan will stiffen things up and Ferguson will get his development 30 mins most weeks . We really need to get something next Saturday ,loosing at home to a team that will be fifth or sixth only spells one thing I'm afraid . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb123! Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I'll say no more before the game on Saturday, for the best, probably not my brightest rash statement on reflection. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitbafollower Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Saw Morton in the cup very impressed and Sutton strong and leads line well plenty experience and ability tough game for Ayr 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Terrace Gazza Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 After 2 dodgy Home games in the cup, I suspect we might take a doing. 3-1 Morton. Suddenly new signings will then arrive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I’ve only seen Morton once so far and that was against Motherwell. Whilst I thought they looked awful, Motherwell were decent and you could see that there was a big gap between the 2 teams. Judging by what I saw against Motherwell and what Morton fans have been saying their weakness lies in with the goalie so unless they sign a new one this week our aim should be plenty of crosses into the box to exploit that. Not sure what the result will be but I’ll say a draw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprised we went on to lose 3 more goals and look very disjointed. Not sure if McLean is out for Sat but we do at least have Schaik available now and hopefully we bring in 1 more this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Venom Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 No idea why Sutton is taking pelters here, but nonetheless; looking forward to heading up for the league opener. Hopefully a good crowd and a good contest.I was way more confident this time last year, even against a relegated Thistle, than I am for this Saturday, but we had also skewered our league cup group.Looking forward to seeing McCowan and Kelly mainly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we'll adopt the same tactic, given that both of Stranraer's goals were headers from corners. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye based on Saturday it's our defending from set pieces that gives me the fear. Stranraer scored two and could easily have had more just with fairly simple balls into the box. Can see there being plenty goals in this if the Morton defence is also as shaky as is being said. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrunitedfw Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Despite Saturday disappointing performance and result I'm looking forward to getting our league campaign underway, Morton should bring a decent support down so should be a good atmosphere. Looking at their ins/outs during the summer they have lost some quality players, the stand out obviously being Michael Tidser. None of their signings really stand out however I am not shocked at all that Nicky Cadden has started well for them. Ian McCall really does have a shocking record when it comes to loan signings- Ross Doohan being the only one who we could say was really decent. There have been a few who have been meh but the majority have been dug meat. I watched Morton on BT vs Motherwell and wasn't impressed however admittedly Motherwell looked decent on the night. The keeper looked particularly dodgy and we should be targeting him on Saturday. Team-wise I'd like to see us mix it up a bit. The past two games (Falkirk and Stranraer) we have looked really flat and lacked width. I'd like to see us trying a 4-2-3-1 formation with two direct wide players running at the Morton defence. Doohan Geggan Muirhead Bell Harvie Docherty Murdoch McCowan Kelly Ross Moffat Subs:- Hare-Reid, Ferguson, Roscoe, Kerr, Forrest, McGuffie, Doolan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost of B A R P Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Our recent record down in Ayr in the August/September sun is abysmal, but you’d fancy us for a point here. Will be more confident if we sign a keeper this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
