    With Dowds out next week, who is going to be upfront?  Can only think of McKenzie and willoughby. Don’t think we have anybody else.

    If Syla is fit (no idea if he will be) I’d be tempted to play 451 with Willoughby up front.

     

    Clarke

     

    Stanger

    Sanders

    McGinty

    Mousanda

     

    Chalmers

    Syla

    Dempsey

    McHugh

    Murphy

     

    Willoughby

    Of course we've had a very good season so far:- Arguably the smallest budget in the league, years languishing in league one and so far last 16 of the League and Scottish Cups, skirting in and close to the play offs, winning the challenge cup. I would agree with you that by your standards Ayr should be doing better, by our standards yes disappointed by some of the results and performances but in our past and current position we have made a good fist of it this season. 

    FWIW think your new stand will look quite tidy when it's complete. Is the plan to have the whole of the seated and standing section for home fans only...what will happen if you are facing a big traveling support (supposing you get promoted?) - will they not have access beyond the corner of the existing away end terracing? 

     

    Ideally the new stand will be home support only but the segregation fence on the terrace is still there. I think they’ll be able to flex the new stand depending on the away support although personally I’d prefer it to be home fans only. Plenty of space behind the goals and in the corner of the main stand for away fans.

    Nathan McGinley. Ex Motherwell left back/centre back. Was on loan at Thistle earlier this season but didn’t make any appearances due to injury. 
     

    As a stop gap it’s fine. Worse case scenario he’s a back up for Musonda who’s been fine there. 

    Just checked in with my Motherwell supporting mate, said this is probably his level, had a load of personal issues and hasn’t really kicked a ball in the last 12 months or so. Doesn’t sound like a rave review but he’ll hopefully do a job.

    We really needed signings that were able to come straight into the starting side and improve it, we quite clearly haven’t got that given their lack of game time so it is disappointing. 

    I think there is an argument that we have actually weakened squad wise, marginally stronger at best. 

    100% agree, the squad isn’t any stronger at all. I’d hoped we’d have brought in at least 1 other starter of reasonable quality. Outside of Murphy and Chalmers who were both poor today there’s zero creativity in that squad. 

    I actually thought we really missed Reading today, relying on Mousunda to provide width down the left was never going to work.

    I didn’t see any of the second half as the stream went to shit, thankfully can make it along on Tuesday. 

    Yeah - regardless of his poor Chalmers is playing I still wouldn’t be taking him off when we need a goal. Particularly as we have nothing to replace him with. 

    How were Willoughby and McHugh? 

    McHugh looked ok when he came on but not really enough time to tell. I’m not sure about Willoughby to be honest. So far I think we’d have been better keeping Rose. Again a bit early to tell. 

  6. We struggled all game to break Raith down. I thought their press was very good and a fantastic finish from Vaughn for the second (gutting time to lose a goal). 
     

    McGinty unlucky with the header off the bar in the second half but that was about it for us.
     

    Results elsewhere went our way at least. 
     

    Edit - thought we really missed Reading as left wing back today.

    Just down in Prestwick now and it’s a cracking day. Mild, bright and barely any wind. If the pitch is good its about is good is it gets in February for football.

    Big game for the Rovers to try and build some momentum and really put the pressure on Yinited. 
     

     

    Pitch is in great condition. Hopefully should be a cracking game.

    Aye, the big man was imperious. I loved him encouraging the fans to get behind the team. That's been one of the best atmospheres in a long time. The drum helped as well.

    Yeah I loved that from Sean throughout the game. Helped worked the crowd and the drum was good. Big cheer for his triple block in the second half too.
