1320Lichtie Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Actually looking forward to this game, I was looking forward and hopeful for the game Saturday past after our home performance v Queens Park but that surpassed my expectations. Another tough game on Saturday, every single game is in this league that’s just the nature of it but I am hopeful we can get a victory too. I don’t think Dick will change the team, very seldom does after a victory never mind a 3-0 victory away from home so expect it’ll be the same again. If we get a left back in thought I’d be tempted to push Stewart up the park to play over Dow. Gayfield has been a hard place for us to come by a victory the last year after being such a ‘fortress’ (I hate that term) for years and years but 3 home games, albeit one in the Challenege Cup, coming up so maybe we can turn that around. Weather looks reasonable and shouldn’t be an issue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrAtlanta Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 If Arbroath are in any way consistent you will have the tails up and win this comfortably. Wouldn’t bet on this game though. Willing to put money on this being the worst football game I’ve seen in a long time however. Will still be there purely for the Marcos chippy that awaits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Watching Logan Chalmers link up with McGeady = The rest of our side not so much. Hopefully we have a good central midfielder in early this week, to start alongside Young. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Albinson McAllister Stanger McGinty Musonda Young Smith Amartey McGeady Chalmers Rose Would like to see us going something like that. Musonda maybe able to shore up the left side of defence and just have him and McAllister worry about defending, let the front 4 play. Can always adjust that formation to 442 with McGeady going out wide and Amartey and Rose partnering up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 If Bird and Gold are fit then I’d like us to be unchanged. I’d also like to see the club put the Ayr support in the stand just as they do to us at Somerset 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stood at our part behind the dugout on Saturday and it's a far superior view than behind the goals either side. Also something something bring enough fans to justify opening the railway end dig patter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather looks reasonable and shouldn’t be an issue. Despite the above I can already hear our enthralling pre-match press conference droning on about it “being a tough place to go” and “the weather always has its say”. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 Aye Ayr will have too many fans for that. Queens Park probably be the only team that gets stand only. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combined that probably accommodates easily 4-500, waaay more than enough for most visiting supports this season and gives them the option of sitting or standing. Bring a brolly if the forecast is looking wet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceanlineayr Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Vital game for Ayr here if we are to avoid sliding towards an early relegation fight. Arbroath will be rightly confident after their win over Morton and will be looking to avoid the same early fears of a relegation fight as Ayr are. Logan Chalmers will be a significant asset for us but the defence gives me the fear after Dundee United gubbed us three going on six nil on Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You ruined my day out, completely, so you could have the points, but I hope now you spend it on getting some lessons in grace and decorum because you have all the grace of a reversing dump truck without any tyres on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than Reading in for McGinty I would go for this - although ideally we have a central midfielder able to dictate a game to come in for Smith too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tried him in one of the full back positions last year and it didn't work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Ayr to look every part like last seasons team minus Akinyemi despite signing about 8 new players. This is despite the players turning up angry this morning as Bullen requested. Arbroath anything - Ayr nil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more about stopping the crosses from coming in down the left than getting anyone forward. Paddy just simply won't do that and I see the scenario with Musonda starting there than giving Finn the opportuniuty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
