Looking at the match stats throughout, Ayr always looked to be in total control even with a second string side out. Really sad to see QP toiling so badly this year. I was watching it and there was nothing to be supremely confident about at 1-2, you just concentrate on your shambles of a club rather than winding up your bigger and better neighbours.

ayrmad Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I'll wait for Wuffster' excellent quality highlights to see how wrong the QP fans and players were for getting upset about the challenge on the goalie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 That was not in any way a convincing win for ayr today (but I'll take it). I thought qp played most of the football and we relied heavily on our outstanding strike force. Shankland really is a delicious young man. But f**k do we need our midfield back. Big Adams did his thing but moff did not look good until he was moved back up front near the end. I thought that our central defence looked composed until put under any sort of pressure - at which stage they crumpled like a Primark suit. Mcguffie again offered less than nothing. Admittedly I don't get to many games but I've yet to see him have a good one (or anything close). Anyways...another three points. Roll on next week.

We're crying out for Adams, Doc and Crawford with wee Forrest playing between them and Shankland and Moff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callum-ayr Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 What pissed me off todar was, it Boyle was fit to play, he should have started. For me that was a waste of a sub. Also, McDaid is such an asset and always seems to make a difference. Not a massive fan of Gilmour, but if he’s played then it has to be CM not RM.

Bring Your Own Socks Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Great highlights Wuffster. Not least for clarifying who scored our first goal. Both sets of fans disappointed for different reasons but any neutral would have had a great day out. Two teams going at it for the whole game. Credit to both groups of players. Felt more like a cup-tie. Might have been only two on target for QP statistically but that won't include the two that were somehow missed from the goal line. Or a few others close by. We had more goalmouth incident yesterday than the whole of November. Hope Gus has realised that this is the way to play. Smaller players with ball skills do better with the the ball on the ground. Keep it up lads. PS QP MotM Davie Galt. Dynamite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Your Own Socks Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 We were sitting in the stand next to QP fans for the challenge on Hart and could tell from here it was a foul on Hart. What a sensitive bunch. I'll wait for Wuffster' excellent quality highlights to see how wrong the QP fans and players were for getting upset about the challenge on the goalie. It wasn't the foul, it was the booking. The ref blew up and wasn't even looking at Mortimer. He then had a closer look at the goalie in 'agony' and decided then to book Mortimer. Ref's shouldn't be influenced after the event by players. If it was a bookable offence he should have gone straight to Mortimer. And for consistency, Shankland should have been booked earlier. There were plenty of other 50-50 tackles around the pitch when somebody had a hobble after and fouls weren't even given.Glad to see the goalie made a biblical recovery in under a minute though. All's well that ends well.[emoji56] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All's well that ends well. I don't agree with the protection afforded keepers nowadays but it was a card all day. I can live with a wee bit of inconsistency so long as the game is allowed to flow, nowt worse than watching a game stop starting due to the ref giving every little foul. I don't know what you've been doing all season but I can't work out how that team is bottom of the league with 11 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUFC 1910 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 As someone mentioned before, we are top of the league and teams will be looking to raise their game against us every week. We can only beat the teams put in front of us, What a run we are on though, with key men missing too, so we should all be very proud of what our team has achieved so far, especially when we think back to how we would crumble with those type of players missing. Got to say that when the team is on it, it is a joy to watch and, even on a not-so-good day, still picking up the 3 points, happy days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Our superior forwards basically saw us over the line, however the balance of the team was terrible and our midfield was non existent. It definitely doesn't work trying to accommodate Moore, Shankland & Moffat in the same team, especially when they get no service and just high punts from Rose and Adams launched towards them. We were crying out for a bit of composure on the ball and someone willing to run at players and I thought Forrest totally changed the game when he came on. Boyle and McDaid also made a big difference and the balance of the team looked a whole lot better. Moffat tried hard but it just wan't happening for him yesterday and his passing aside, I thought big Jamie had a decent game, however McGuffie was completely anonymous and Moore was also looking pretty frustrated with the lack of service. I also thought that the communication between the keeper and defence was at times shocking and Higgins in particular was involved in a couple of serious mix ups which on another day could have cost us. As for Queens Park, well, I thought they gave 100% right from the off, they closed us down immediately and also tried to play football with their number 8 causing us lots of problems and thought he looked a pretty decent player. I also thought a yellow card for their big striker was fair as I don't think he tried to do the keeper but was just a bit clumsy / slightly dangerous going by today's standards. If they play like that every week, then they shouldn't need to worry about relegation. All in all though it's another valuable 3 points in the bag with most of our midfield out injured and also not one of our better displays, so all augurs well for a quick return to the Championship next year.........

Hampden Diehard Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 My view of the keeper / Mortimer incident was the the keeper raced out and flattened Mortimer. In today's game, it's still viewed as a foul on the goalie but never a card. Mortimer looking as exciting a centre as we've had since Longworth and Galt is on fire. Slipping the ball between 2 defenders and collecting it was superb to see. What a change in affairs from 3 / 4 weeks ago when we looked totally lost.

an86 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 We didn't get the result that our effort merited. Every single one of the players put in a superb shift and can be proud of their efforts. They just have that wee bit of quality in the final third that will punish most teams at this level. If we can start to turn these performances into results, we'll have a wee chance. It's still going to be an uphill task to stay in the league, though. As always, an enjoyable trip to Somerset Park, even if the result was a boot in the baws. A proper old stadium and great place to watch the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyrTroopMajor Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 McDaid and Forrest should have started. McGuffie and Gilmour (particularly Gilmour) should not have. We are however, 5 points clear and on our best winning run in a generation. Let's just enjoy it. Winning is all that matters right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
