Interesting that you only have a problem with it now (i.e. when we are doing well). Looking to sell the shares? You do come across as a bit of a miserable cu I don’t have a problem at all, just not in agreement and not miserable. *cuttie pie though? That’s nice. Sorry but can’t and wouldn’t sell, as now part of a 4th generation Ayr fans trust fund. Once again, I do get the concept. However, out of a core support of circa 1500, then a wider support of at least 10k......why have only 47 supported it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valelover Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Has anyone done the analysis, leaving aside the Rangers Cup game, how is the goals against column since Ruddy came in? Probably a cou0le of games early on to settle in but since then there have been quite a few clean sheets. Takes more than just a keeper I agree but I think stats will show he has made a difference.

D'Jaffo Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Suppose it helps when the goalie isn’t chucking into his own net (bar Alloa) but the difference has been moving Bell into defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has been a definite improvement. Bell and Geggan playing has also limited Rose, Reid and Ferguson at the same time which is a big plus point. On top of the silly goals there used to be a lot of panic at every cross ball which seems to have gone with Ruddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still not fully sold on him, we have got better at stopping the ball getting to the goalkeeper as often and that has really helped. On one hand he has conceded one goal since that Rangers game, on the other he has barely had a save to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 Raith game being off could be good. We win on Tuesday we go 6 clear, putting a bit of pressure on them. They then have a hard fixture away at Airdrie. This time next week we could be between 6-9 points clear with them having played one game less.

UpInTheAyr Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Hart has made 21 appearances in the league with 6 clean sheets and 28 goals conceded. Compared to Ruddy with 8 apps, 4 clean sheets, 5 goals conceded. Can't really compare the two yet but looking at it, the worst stat is the 28 against in 21 appearances, not all Hart's fault of course, but kinda ridiculous for a team trying to win a title, despite the amount of goals they've scored.

Meh, they kind of stats mean nothing. MOTD Saturday night it was comparing Butland and Pickford for England. This season they have conceded 101 goals between them, yet are very highly rated. A settled defence always helps a keeper and we have had that recently with Geggan coming back abd Bell slotting in at CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Aye I've not been totally convinced by ruddy. For me the defence is a much bigger factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 From what I’ve seen Ruddy commands his box far far better than Hart, where every corner was a nightmare. In terms of shot stopping they are probably relatively similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 The run of clean sheets coincided with Bell playing CH and Geggan coming back in at RB, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lochwood Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Geggan going to right back and bell to centre half has tightened up the back four, ferguson had been struggling for weeks at right back and higggins wasn't doing things well either couple of horrendous goals down to him may be a good leader but hasn't been that good this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mgc1910 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 At the very least, Rose and Higgins were too similar. Both want to sweep, neither wanted to go and meet the ball. Bell seems to offer a much better balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
