The 1st game away to Airdrie we played really well. We played with a very high press with McKenzie and Dowds causing lots of problems for the home defence. I don’t see too many changes from Ibrox. I’d go with Mutch McAllister Sanders McGinty Reading Chalmers Dempsey Syla Murphy McKenzie Dowds subs Albinson,Musonda, Tomlinson, Bryden, McHugh, Willoughby, McGeady, Amartey

Will Jack Sanders play at RB or will Stanger play there? We might play three at the back. Personally, I would start with the team that beat Arbroath.

The facilities up at UWS are excellent for training and are way ahead of all previous options. Yes it would be nice to own our own facilities but the training facilities can’t be faulted and are very close to Somerset.

You are correct it would be Ally as apart from Alex Stuart, Ian McCall, Gordon Dalziel and Lee Bullen none of the rest were successful. Gordon Dalziel imo was successful as he had Bill Barr’s money and had an excellent coach in Iain Munro and latterly Frank Connor to assist him.

I think Scott Brown could be good for both Brown and AUFC. I think he will be highly motivated to make a success of the job. If successful he will move on to a bigger club but he will have raised our profile and turned us into either a Premier League club or a club that regularly reaches the play offs for the SPL. That prospect excites me although I think he might move on within 2 to 3 years max as he will want to manage at the highest level. We are simply speculating at the moment and have no evidence proving Scott Brown has been offered the job but I am warming to the idea.

A good solid performance by Ayrshire’s finest today. I thought we gave a very disciplined display with some added flair. Chalmers was outstanding and is a real threat going forward. Stanger and McGinty were solid at the back. Syla did well in central midfield as did Senga for about 60mins. Dowds has made us more of a threat as he is a striker who can play with his back to the goal and hold the ball up. Both goals were excellent. If I was an Airdrie fan I would have been frustrated at the way they passed the ball around their 18yard box but this might have been down to McKenzie, Dowds, Chalmers and Murphy holding the line. All in all this was a good performance on the back of an excellent result at Hampden and a good 2nd half against Raith. There are definitely grounds for optimism.

A much improved performance from Ayr. Murdoch brought a lot of composure to the midfield which allowed McAlear and Dempsey to get involved in a lot of triangular passing movements. McAllister and O’Connor linked up well down the RHS and Reading and Ashford linked up well down the LHS. The back 4 were solid and Albinson didn’t have to make. My only criticism was that we should have won by much more. A much improved team performance. I would expect a bit of shuffling the pack for the Dundee game with 3 games in 7 days. The 433 formation worked well. I’m hoping for 4 points at least from the next two games.

I think it is imperative that we take at least a point from this one. Apart from Mullen I don’t think there will be any other players available. My starting X1 Albinson Ecrepont McAllister(if fit) McGinty Reading Chalmers Murdoch Dempsey Mullen Bryden Akinyemi Hopefully, McAllister will be fit as without him we really are struggling for defenders. I’d give Bryden a start ahead of both McKenzie and Young.

I’m looking forward to this one. We have a good few options with the signing of Logan Chalmers. Michael Hewitt will benefit from regular first team football at Peterhead. I would go with Albinson Houston Musonda Kirk Reading Mullin Murdoch Dempsey Chalmers Akinyemi Young

Ayr United media/ Black and White TV do a great job promoting the club. The match highlights, pre and post match interviews etc are all excellent. There is too much criticism and negativity. Some of our supporters need a reality check. We were relegation favourites with Duffy in charge. Bullen has turned things around and I am confident we will stay up. Tomi benefited from being dropped and now realises he must put in a shift. Hopefully he will be fit to start on Friday and deliver goals to defeat the Accies.

It was a good point in the end although we could have taken all three. We started well but fell out of the game after a good opening 20 mins. I felt we dominated the 2nd half. The central defenders played well. McInroy, Murdoch and Maxwell were our best. Bryden worked his socks off. Hopefully Tomi and Dempsey are fit for Friday. A win on Friday will really boost our chances of staying up.

It will be difficult if we are missing Adeloye and Dempsey but I am sure Bully will have the team fired up for this one. He has options and could play Bryden and Moffat up front. He could bring in a wide player and move McKenzie up front. Personally , McKenzie brings far more to the team than either Gondoh or O'Connor. Prediction Morton 1 Ayr 2

If Killie don't go up they are goosed. They are paying Premier League wages but have stated this cannot continue if they don't gain promotion.

It looks like both Adeloye and Dempsey might be fit according to the AP. If that is the case I would play both and go with McAdams Houston Muirhead McGinty Reading McKenzie Murdoch McInroy Maxwell Dempsey Adeloye Subs Albinson, O'connor, Bryden, Gordoh , Fjortoft , Moffat, Kenyon, Moffat If everyone is fully fit I believe we can win.

Come on Thistle. Ian McCall you owe us one as you let us down against both Morton and Hamilton. Unfortunately, I think the Pars may get a result as Thistle seem to have lost it. They are missing too many key players.

I don't think there is any need to panic after losing to Killie. I would go with a 4 1 4 1 McAdams Houston Muirhead McGinty Reading Murdoch McKenzie Dempsey McInroy Maxwell Ashford Tomi to come off the bench to score the winner. A point would be fine but 3 pts would be better.

We rarely take buses to Rugby Park as they used to always get smashed in the 70's. Your own supporters are no angels.

We won't be playing a 4 4 3 formation. We have not played 4 3 3 all season. At Raith we played 4 4 2 and I think we will go with that formation on Friday. We had been playing either 4 1 4 1 or 4 4 1 1. I think we will start with the team that started at Raith provided McGinty is fully fit. I think Dempsey will start on the bench if fit as will the new signing Kenyon. I'm really looking forward to a good game and hopefully the Honest Men will come out on top.

A fantastic result and performance today. Bullen may have been forced into a 442 formation with the Dempsey injury but it certainly worked. Last week was a poor performance and in my opinion the loss was not because of the formation. We are looking much more solid as a unit and the players know what is expected of them. Bring on the Killie 442 , 4141 or 4411 as long as we are committed we can give Killie another bloody nose.

This is a huge game for both teams. Willie Gibson will have QoS fired up for this one as it is their cup final. Hopefully, we put them to the sword and don't let the home support down after two excellent away wins. Bully will know the importance of the game. I think we should stick with the team that started at Kilmarnock and Inverness. The bench is so much stronger which gives us good options. Prediction 2 - 1 Ayr.

A great win today. The Inverness hoodoo is finally overcome. The midfield is so much more solid. Muirhead and McGinty forming a good partnership. I can't wait to see us overcome QoS next Saturday. This is their cup final and our chance to put them down. Don't let us down. Come on Ayr.

Well the dust has settled after last night's derby. Killie started well with Burke, Murray and McKenzie looking good down the RHS. We lost a soft goal and McAdams had two excellent saves. After about 30 mins we started to get a foot hold in the game. Again Killie started the 2nd half well but in the last 30 mins it was one way traffic. The midfield was outstanding but this was a real team effort. Dempsey and McInroy have improved the midfield significantly. We are pressing other teams and showing greater team spirit and togetherness. I am a lot more optimistic about the rest of the season after recent showings. Lafferty or La Farty was a joke clearly tried to get Aero sent off and niggles throughout. I still think Killie or Thistle will go up but McInnes now knows he has a job on his hands. The plaudits go to Lee Bullen, his backroom staff and the Ayr players. Well done lads!

I think we will go with McAdams Houston Muirhead McGinty Reading Dempsey McKenzie Murdoch McInroy Maxwell Ashford Subs Moffat, Brydon, Gordoh, Baird, Rowe, Adeloye, Ecrepont, Albinson, Where is the best place for Ayr supporters to park? Finally, if you haven't bought a ticket do so. The team need your support forget the streaming option.

Surely we won't have to sit on the seat matching our tickets. I'm looking for another decent performance tomorrow night and hopefully we can pick up something from the game. In all the games since Bullen has taken over we have looked more positive. I would probably stick with the side that started against Dunfermline. I think the midfield is looking better and hopefully we can get the likes of McInroy, McKenzie and Maxwell further forward to support Ashford. At least we have decent options on the bench. Killie are also stronger with McInnes in charge and have done well in the Jan window but they are beatable. Come on Ayr let's do it.

I believe Liam Craig was 1st choice as Bully's No2. They would have been at Falkirk together. St Johnstone will be looking for compensation. I really think Bully needs support in soon. He will be using senior players and is obviously making using of the Academy coaches on match days. Players available be told by their agents to hold out for the best deal. In addition, to bring in new players we may have to offload at least one more player. I still expect two new faces before the transfer window closes. Also, we have Keith Glendinning doing the video analysis.
