SouthStander1876 Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 We'll be playing a massively weakened team due to our thin squad trying to prevent injuries, wouldnt be surprised to see Ayr turn us over rather easily 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bairn88 Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Will probably check the score at FT. As close to a friendly as is possible to get. Hope we start 1 or 2 of our youngsters to see what their level is 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callum-ayr Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Mutch Ahui McAllister Stanger Ecrepont Chalmers Senga Syla Tomlinson Amartey Rose Subs: Albinson, Reading, Watret, Young, McKenzie, Bryden We seem to be lacking in extra (young) bodies. Unsure if Watret will be in the squad, I am pretty sure he has been away on trial down south. Think we have 3(?) out on loan in Viviani, Jenkins and possibly Guthrie. However could be doing with Jenkins back for some defensive cover. Would imagine McGinty won't be risked, Musonda away on interbational duty and Dempsey, Murdoch, Murphy all still injured. Still a threadbare squad of numbers and quality. Would like to see Tomlinson get a start and go two up top and just have a go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I'm wanting it, but I'd reckon McKenzie and Bryden are both nailed on for a start as would Smith be if not suspended. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itzdrk Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 (edited) IMO I'd play Rose, personally. Just got his first goal so I'd look to build on that. Edited September 5, 2023 by itzdrk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 While many aren't in the least bit interested in this cup, the clubs themselves have an obligation to their fans to put out a semi strong side otherwise it's a pretty poor show expecting people to pay £12 to come and watch a kick about between a couple of youth sides with a few fringe players chucked in for good measure. I obviously don't expect either side to be putting out their first 11 but I would hope that both have a decent mix of youth players, fringe players and first team regulars. Having said that, I'm wondering if the team sheets have been leaked as Ayr have gone from 8/11 out to 11/10 and Falkirk from 3/1 in to 15/8 in places. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 As long as we keep an eye on Eddie Annand and Henry Templeton we should have enough to sneak this one. 2-1 Bairns. Martin Mooney with all 4. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUcal Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Fairly confident we're going to lose this tbh. We just haven't got going yet and seem to really lack ideas for creating opportunities (other than punting it) - whereas Falkirk have started very well and look dangerous going forward (dunno what kind of team we'll see from them I guess). Syla and Young both looked decent enough at Arbroath albeit they struggled to find any joy going forward. Hope to see Senga play and really hoping Ahui gets a start and plays well. Was thrown in quite unprepared last time so hopefully he can show something. Maybe Rose scoring at the weekend will be the spark needed to get him firing - we haven't seen anywhere near enough so far. It's already looking a bit grim for this season. Maybe a win in the diddy cup can turn the fortunes.... Going to be a beautiful night. The kind of night that would be great for standing out on the North Terrace. Already can't wait to be back there next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to play the formation Bullen is looking to play going forward IMO to help get us up and running - so 4/3/3 or 4/2/3/1. 2 hours ago, itzdrk said: IMO I'd play Rose, personally. Just got his first goal so I'd look to build on that. I would be happy with this, but with Rose included as you say. I think Rose has to play tbh - Bryden can get half an hour or so. ETA, Chalmers too as he clearly needs game time! Not entirely sure who in front of though tbf.

GuyIncognito Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Fairly strong lineups from both sides by the looks of it. Hopefully Ahui comes onto a game tonight. Him up against Callum Morrison isn’t looking good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Grimsdale Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 (edited) Don’t remember ever having an easier 1-0 win a Ayr in all my days. Strolled it. Hogarth without a save. Henderson superb. Really like the look of Honeyman and Walker when they came on. Rest up now for Queen of the South. Nearly 400 fans on a Tuesday for a diddy cup.
