UpInTheAyr Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 If you think the players looked sluggish today after a weeks rest, wait till you see them on Tuesday after three days rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callum-ayr Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Jermaine Jenas (as much as he is a p***k) hit the nail on the head with Sunderland last night on MOTD with that they have no identity, no dynamic about the team and it's just defend, hope and rely on Defoe scoring and not conceding. It's the same with us and Moore. No pace, no width, no hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
young buck Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 That's totally relevant and our identity has been lost. Imagine that will take a long time to rebrand. Very difficult for a manager to turn that at all yet alone as quickly as a football fan might want. Take an alcoholic for example they will fall off the wagon several times on the way to recovery if at all. They need all the support they can get while this happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a load of bollocks that is btw. It's a game revolving around 22 men kicking a ball around a bit of grass. The reason you're struggling is because your players are shite and your manager is clueless. All this talk of brand and identity is meaningless and totally irrelevant drivel.

pandarilla Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 It's pretty difficult to defend McCall at the moment. What I would say is that most ayr fans (by far from what I can gather) were pretty chuffed with all the signings. Harkins, balatoni, El alagui, mcdaid... These looked like very good signings. At the moment they're not paying off (new ones are very new, granted - but no real positive signs). He's delivered on the signings. It's just not coming together.

I remember the talk when Harkins signed about McCall resurrecting Harkins career by actually doing one to one fitness training with him. That is the kind of effort needed to get players like Harkins playing to their potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to know what (if any) checks are in place to monitor fitness levels and things like weight. Without things like that there's no discipline.

The manager appears to have lost his footballing identity during his sabbatical as I remember McCall for transforming and gelling teams with pace,width and a fast counterattack, we have shown next to none of that during his tenure at Somerset.
