  1. Ayr have improved under Brown, it would be hard not to have made an improvement on one win in 12 or whatever run Bullen was on. Maybe a bit like Queens Park, we are harder to beat but maybe not that good in terms of quality. Brown seems to be trying to bend players to a style of play rather than the other way around which is having mixed results to to him only having a limited time to bring players in. Our bench on Saturday had probably 7 players most folk would have in their starting 11 every week.
  2. You’d hope so. He’s been signed for 3 weeks and played 45 minutes in a friendly. At the rate things are going, he’ll be ready to play a first team game in May.
  3. We were rank rotten against Dunfermline. We followed it up with a win against Inverness so either Brown has managed to unlock something from the team or Inverness are dreadful and we got away with one. Either way, we need to be better against Queens Park if we want to pull away from a relegation dog fight. Genuinely no feelings either way about a result. It’s the first time Brown has been in charge for a second time against opposition, so hopefully that’ll help.
  4. With our last 3 games we have in the run-in, including trips to Dundee United and Partick. I’d rather we didn’t go in to a game with Dunfermline on the last day with our collective arses making buttons. A win on Saturday would give us breathing space and mean we can afford a couple of defeats in the last seven games
  5. He’s obviously trying to cover his near post but it looks like he’s about a metre to his left too far. It’s a good finish from Bryden and he did well to stay onside.
  6. Think we got the bare minimum on social media today but it was also the longest journey so probably not a full staff so I'm not that arsed based on us having no updates previously in games.
  7. Ayr put out a team akin to the likes Bullen would put out in cup competitions and we somehow won. None of it fell in to place but we weren’t dreadful at the back. I don’t think Inverness are stick-ons for 9th. There is still a lot of football to be played and over the next 6 weeks I expect every team from 3rd to 9th think they will be going down on any given Saturday. The way this league goes, Inverness could take all 3 points next Saturday against Dundee United and Ayr could lose to Queens Park meaning the league tightens up further.
  8. A thing that would end speculation is the club actually letting the support know these things.
  9. Brown has been better than Bullen in trying to change shape and style. we have been more competitive in many areas of the pitch. Losing Reading has meant some things have had to change. I am not concerned at the moment that long term, he will be a failure. Short term though, I am concerned that he is trying to change things too much, too quickly and by how much he has discarded some of our best players in favour of players who aren't really doing anything when they come in but are keeping their place
  10. The frustrating thing just now is, it is completely in or own hands. Beat Queens Park next Saturday and we will be 15 points off bottom, at least 4 points clear of Inverness and 5 clear of Queens Park with a game in hand. If we go out next Saturday with some mad line-up and formation, we will only have our self to blame. Inverness were dreadful today.
  11. Dowds doesn’t score enough but you always had Chalmers and Murphy either scoring or creating something. The last few team selections have made us absolutely toothless and one dimensional. Brown had us compact, hard to beat and we looked like we would be absolutely fine, maybe even scrape the promotion play-offs. He just seems to be trying to make it really hard for himself and I don’t really know why.
  12. We have abandoned football completely now. Just firing long balls forward, we’ve scored
  13. Brown seems intent on picking his own players he has brought in regardless of how they perform. Sanders has been poor and cost us a few goals but McGinty is dropped after his in the Dunfermline game.
  14. It’s been pretty eye bleeding from both teams. Ayr with 4 forwards have created bugger all and have just fired aimless balls forward to no one.
  15. I reckon at some point before the end of the season, the “banter” between Michael Stewart and Darrell Curry will break the latter and he’s going to start shouting OH JUST f**k UP MICHAEL YAHWANK
  16. This all reminds me of Ayr in the early 2000’s no money thanks to Barr fucking off and stiffing us with a tax bill. A stadium that was due to fail safety measures and a new owner based in the states. The board focused on land that had been (sort of) gifted to us by Barr for the new stadium. It was only to be used for a new stadium and the club wouldn’t really own it so couldn’t sell it. The land being in a prime retail area. They agreed a plan that would see Wimpey buy Somerset, the money would be used to build the first phase of the new stadium and office space for rent that would pay for phase two. Wimpey pulled out at the 11th hour and we had no money to get the safety work done. The club ended up going part time, selling off or leasing any assets like the car park and club merchandise, catering etc to cut outgoings. We had a chairman who wouldn’t spend money we didn’t have who probably saved the club. The difference here is that the people who caused the issue and the people tasked with fixing it were two different sets of people. I’m not sure that is the case here and it probably should be. From that statement, they may as well have said, we put a lottery ticket on but due to issues outwith our control, this has not been successful and we will be addressing this with Camelot.
  17. I think it was 1 mark coins that were the same size as 10p coins. We emptied the vending machine in our hotel of beer for about £3 without appreciating that now it was empty, they would empty the cash when they refilled it with cans. We got a talking to like school children from the hotel manager. it was Becks as well. Howling.
