Lochwood

Two very tired looking teams tonight, and shows what an advantage getting second was No excuses for not seeing what the danger comes from whole management team up there watching. Turner and Tiffoney no doubt there best players, take care of them I can see us doing it, but DEFO need to do a job on TURNER especially let him play and he will win the game for them. Queens big threat obviously THOMAS but overall very hard to overcome physically strong really like Oakley and Boateng from that team.

Same old same old eye bleedingly poor performances lots effort but as in nearly all the games were carrying three four players who contribute nothing. Midfield atrocious and Dipo was shocking tonight, his two misses goodness me, it’s fifth this year , big improvement on last year and that’s it. Honestly concerned that Bullen was happy with that performance.

Guy bleeds Ayr United, would do anything for the club, hope you are our lucky mascot on Friday, deserves every good message posted on here, gem of a guy.

I’m not overly happy with the way Bullen sets the team up but come on we have to get behind the team, and yes I agree with someone who posted, we play two guys who are never wingers and keep two natural wingers on the bench it really is worrying. play 4-5-1 on Saturday and I think we have a chance with a midfield of O’Connor, Dempsey ,Murdoch, anybody but Mcaleer , Mitchell Lawson two attacking guys and three holding players, it’s the midfield we have to win , do that and we have a chance.

Lewis Strapp told he can leave Morton, cracking left back with a wicked long throw, massive upgrade on Reading who I would keep but only for cover. Another game where we were carrying passengers happening week after week. McKenzie. A two year contract god help us if that’s what Bullen thinks a player looks like Mcguire. So far off it had too long a lay off to play at this level, his legs have gone. Mcalear can’t believe the level this guy has played at but is absolutely hopeless mistake after mistake all day and still kept on the park The rest of the team battled away to get a point so credit to them, can’t see that team getting anything at thistle and have the fear going to Inverness last game to get in the play offs.

Agree with Wattoo we have nothing to fear but our squad experience is poor should have brought a couple more in January , have to put away Morton on Saturday first, can you imagine the feed back if we were in Queen’s Park position and there recent results this site would be in meltdown.

Well it’s pretty clear now take care of Morton and Partick and it’s the top four and play offs, think it’s important we get the third spot so we are at home for the second game. If all our players turn up we could get through to the final play off spot probably against Thistle.

What in the name of suffering has Wrexham got to do with our team dear oh dear, the bottom line is you can’t go into games like tonight and not accept you need to win the battles and second balls we did none of that tonight except as usual the first 15 minutes then disappeared , Bullen thought that was down to Mcaleer with his omission and not a lot of people would have argued with that as said before a lot more than that was the problem tonight, at best we get 3/4 and we will not come out of that well.

Really poor stuff lots of possession and corners never looked like scoring, McGuire disappeared again and Musonda for the second goal had two chances to get the ball or take a foul embarrassing, to me looks like a player who wants to move on. Too many players never turned up, especially the so called big players no wonder Bullen never appeared after the game,Akinyemi, Musonda McGuire, Murdoch.

Well only one word after Friday night Maguire, the guy was everything I thought he would be to the team ,and it’s great to see a bit of real Quality on the pitch, you can’t coach that ability it’s natural. The whole back four were collectively good and McAllister coaching young Hewitt through the game was great to see. If they are handing out two year contracts out McAllister should be top of the list for his attitude and commitment and versatility. I think young Hewitt when he gets over his nerves will do well at right back, he is good athlete and I believe that position is his best shout of making it. Watched the highlights of Queen’s Park and I can’t believe they lost that game, it was one way traffic. Watched Fleetwood game today with Corrie Nabada playing left centre back he was very good, still tied to Ipswich but read his recent profile on wiki, there’s a quote from Hopkin saying one of his performances was the worst he had seen, what did he know eh.

Got to be having a laugh with the extension to McKenzie, if that’s what we are resigning there’s no hope of stepping up boy is a junior player at best.

Well like it or not if Bullen gets to the play offs he will have surpassed his expectations for this season anything else better will mean a bonus. As previously stated we need at least 6/7 of the squad improved on vastly in my opinion, is he the man to do it the jury is out.

Please tell me Ashford,Reading,Houston,Oconner, Michell Lawson,McKenzie DO NOT HAVE two year contracts, if they have god help us.

Reading is absolutely howling must be the worse left back in this league and plays every week, he hasn’t a clue when he plays against a half decent winger

First half maybe Dundee edging it, bit of class from Dipo got us level. Albinson has made some great saves to keep us in it so all to play for big difference in middle when we get it trying to pass it, and set up couple of half chances all to play for.

M Glynn set up 3-5-2 to dominate the midfield, struggled in the first half hour and game should have been over in that time, didn’t panic and kept to the same set up at half time only refreshing the wide players and the striker, he knew as well as every manager in this league when our full backs are Reading and Houston we are shocking. All we had to do was match that set up in the second half as the cracks were showing after the first half hour, take Mcguire off who was isolated and not involved in the game as he should have, and replace him with Kirk Mcginty, Musonda , get 5 in the middle and two up top, plenty of options to do that from the subs but Bullen just hoped he would get through it. Does nobody in the coaching set up go in the stand lol this would be glaringly obvious to anyone with any idea of how to change the set up.

Grasping at straws I know but how is Donaldson still on the park after being booked, then fouls Musonda for the penalty Oh the agony good bye to 250k and the money for the final, Mathie will be on the shredder tomorrow for all the written plans gone. Interesting to see the home support for our next match on a Friday night.

Absolutely shocking Musonda was miles off it all night and McGuire no where near fit played with 9 men and BULLEN has to take the can for that result if he couldn’t see that changes at half time we’re needed

Biggest game we have had in a long time that could set in place what the club will do going forward, financially it is massive. Take care of there two wide men and get the ball to McGuire and we will win comfortably, massive for the development of this club and coupled with the money we will get for Dipo should see a right good team on the park next year

On the appeal, Louis Thow was at the game sitting beside the two referee observers who sit right in the corner of the directors box and get there hospitality etc etc, if they supported that red card then the club should be noting this and tell them to get in the stand in the future and buy there own pie and tea at half time. surely they must have backed up what everyone in the ground bar the referee saw, and surely reported accordingly, if not that’s an absolute disgrace and basically said get it up youse. The club are saying they had a witness in a former grade 1 referee, I can only assume that was Louis.

Well can’t say I’m surprised always sh—- against this lot. Looked like it was going to be a decent game until the ref decided otherwise, Mullen carried off and not even a card, Oconner jersey CLEARLY being pulled back and when there guy let go his momentum took him into the player , shocking decision. Then throughout the game Dipo being fouled continually and little done about it. That said we can’t seem to go through a game without 2/3 players having terrible games, loose in midweek and we will free fall, and that’s two players out Oconner. And. Mullin we can’t carry that and I think we should be appealing that Red card that’s what the player fund is for, as Oconner was easily our best player up to then.

All the teams in it have really invested in more quality numbers, we have brought in two, time will tell but I’ll be really pleasantly surprised if we have enough to stay in the top four.

Based on what I saw which was limited in the pub but I thought we should have won that big improvement throughout the team from previous. We can only get better with Maguire and Musonda and Murdoch to come in, good to get some good players back for these big games coming up. Don’t get the boy McGuire is carrying timber not what I saw on Tuesday he looked in good shape to me for a guy been out for 6 months . The amount of people who were asking me who is playing in Ayr really annoys me long way to go to build up the support.

Left at 0-3 really good workout and Hibs well above our level, 3 outstanding youngsters no 3 / 11/ 9 the latter Gary Oconners son really caught the eye and would walk into our team verypacy the type of player that makes poor passes look good, this boy will make it 19 can only wish for that talent. The good bits Musonda is back thank god got 45 minutes Maguire looks like we’ve found our number 10 what we are badly missing , think he will do well, got 60 minutes looks a fit boy but having the legs to get about will take time and games based on what I saw I think he is what we need. Wasnt overly impressed bye the rest and the only downer no Murdoch not even on the bench and no McRae which surprised me.

No doubt a player in his day, but come on no preseason and hasn’t played in 6 months god knows when he will be ready, hope he is on a pay as you play contract because he won’t be cheap, and then the push has to come from him to get match fit. We need players in that can go straight in the team.
