AyrExile Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 With Higgins being out this has maybe forced McCalls hand over the goalkeeper. Much of our bad defending has come from high balls and a lack of presence in the box. Hopefully someone that’s 6’5 will have less problems dealing with these.

HeathrowAUFC Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 A pal at work is an Oldham fan and when I dropped the Jack Ruddy bomb his initial response was “rubbish” but as he elaborated he backtracked somewhat and felt it would have been difficult playing in that struggling side before John Sheridan was sacked. New manager wanted someone else in.Clear as mud. Good luck to the lad if he arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finlay21 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Can’t be any worse than Hart , with his height it hopefully gives us better chance to clear cross balls than our previous 2 keepers , yes Fleming was a good shot stopper but poor on crosses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richey Edwards Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I remember there were people on the SRE Facebook page genuinely claiming that Greg Fleming was one of the best Ayr keepers of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munro7 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 You can’t include Gilmour in that list, the only upside is that he’s one of the ones that are missing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair I’d much rather see Faulds given a go, but will never happen under McCall. He’d get a loan signing in from another teams youth academy. If Rose is out tomorrow I’d have Bell CB with Faulds and Adams CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the horrendous abuse a youngster in Jordan Hart has been getting for making some errors, it's probably a bad time to be blooding youngsters at the moment sadly. Faulds was already getting stick within 30 mins from the North Terrace on Saturday. Last thing he needs is to be the latest scapegoat if he starts tomorrow and has a poor game. It's also worth noting that Ruddy is the first loan signing (young or old) we have brought in this season - and we must have given game time to 7 or 8 of our own academy players over the first half of the season.

Hart has been a disaster all season I don't care what age he is, if he keeps making clangers he should be dropped just like anyone else. I'm not an advocate of shouting abuse but he is long over due sitting on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard Faulds getting any stick on Saturday from the NT. Doesn't mean there wasn't any though, just yet again you were uniquely placed to hear it.

What bit of my point don't you agree with? He's a young guy being picked by a manager, and has fans on Saturday screaming at him "f**k off ya wee arsehole". Doesn't seem a great time to be blooding youngsters if we don't have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think i've commented anything about hearing abuse all season until tonight unless i'm forgetting something! For what it's worth I don't know if he's ready for a start or not as i've only seen him briefly off the bench twice and it's hard to judge. I hope he is though as i'd rather have someone in their proper position if possible rather than having to put Moff back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Ruddy signing and starting I'll suppose we'll find out if Hart actually has been a disaster or if it is a case of him not having enough protection from the defence as some claim. The thing about Hart is that I can't really remember him being under any kind of sustained pressure in the matches I've seen, having to pull off save after save until one or two go in. In fact, struggling to remember any saves of note he's pulled off, seems like it's been a case of two or three shots on target, two or three goals.
