  1. The big sickener for me is Bullen knows the boys not up to it but plays him. We had other players who could have played right back Ashford,McKenzie,Smith and even Mitchell Lawson are all midfielders and  can’t cut it in the middle of the park so it’s time to try them elsewhere before they are moved on and who knows we might find there position going forward. I’m hoping  we recall the boy Hewitt who can play there no problem.

    Mitchell Lawson has shown nothing but negativity apart from a couple of games for me he is playing like he wants back south and if so we should grant it in January.

    Ashford will never make a midfielder or a forward works hard bot not got it for that position time to try elsewhere poss a full back

    Mckenzie. Ditto as above

    Smith my biggest disappointment thought we had one here same as above needs tried elsewhere before he departs to the juniors like the rest.

    Young has no chance of making it at Villa again a tryer but not got it

    Ecrepont sorry but I can’t see him kicking on needs to be farmed out again.

    Bryden a big raw runner long way off from finished article again needs to go on loan

    replace most of the above in January or we can kiss goodbye to the top four.

  2. Well  a massive chance blown, they were spooked when they went down to ten men and we were really poor in the attacking half we really let them off the hook. I have been very complimentary of Bullen for a while but a big part of that defeat was down to him Stevie Wonder could see this guy, Bangala should have been hooked after 15 minutes absolutely clueless and one of the worst players I have seen for a while ok nobody saw this guy playing  before we signed him but he is down to the worst I have seen in an Ayr jersey.

    Dont be looking for any help from Musonda soon spoke to him tonight and he said he is hoping for some time in January to be back, so we’ve went from could have played against Pollok but keeping him for the Raith game to now, looks like the Raith fans are right made of chocolate and takes for ever to come back from injuries.

  3. Holding his powder Bullen but that second goal is offside,Graham is standing on the line behind the keeper and it comes off him no question that’s offside 2  1 at half time gave them a massive lift and Bullens right the officials got that call badly wrong and influenced the result.

    Partick were very good for an hour but Ayr were the better team last half hour and should have equalised keeper makes a great double save.

  4. Was hoping for a draw today, bottom line is Ayr can’t do well when there two best centre backs are out injured. Had a good chat with the Raith guys last game and they said they loved Musonda but he was very injury prone, and wee knocks seemed to take forever to clear up and that’s why they let him go. I was told that he could have played against Pollok but we’re keeping him for the Raith game, well that’s gone and he’s still out, so have we signed a big chocolate centre back or what.

  5. Yep bbc Scotland, not rated by any of the so call pundits won’t even make the top four, don’t know what they are on REALLY. That’s the best as a team we have played in a few weeks let’s hope we’ve turned the corner and we shut them up in the next few weeks, and Murray saying they are every bit as good as Ayr but lye in ninth place.

    Young Ecrepont was ok just kept it simple McAllister never thought he had that in him absolutely outstanding and should have walked away with the man of the match.

     

  6. We need another centre back and the Pollok number 4 Darren Brownlie fits the bill strong in the air and the tackle 25 so could develope quite a bit yet won all his battles tonight against big Dipo. Swap him for Bangala as he’s never going to play at championship level. Definitely one that one of  Bullens pals recommended so don’t think he’ll be recommending anybody else, shame as I think he comes across as a decent guy, but after all the trouble to get him here he’s not up to it.

  7. The poorest we have been for a while 4/5 players well off the pace, and passing was really poor. Stone wall penalty and a red card for Baird can’t believe the ref never gave it.

    What I totally expected from Morton a pure battle, must have had about 20 corners I’m counting all the long throws ( every throw in over the half way line was like a corner which we defended very well)

    Nearly stole it late on when Morton ran out of steam but draw was a fair result. Bullen must surely see that playing two wide men can’t go on Dempsey and Murdoch really need someone in there to help. Don’t know if we were in for Crawford but for me that would have made the team better balanced overall, going forward for me play one wide man and let them fight it out who plays in the other midfield in a three.

     

  8. Watching Bangala in the reserve game I thought he was very competitive and worked really hard against a good  young Killie midfield, if needed I think he will do a job in a defensive role but I don’t see him displacing Murdoch or Dempsey.

    Killie had a good few young midfielders, with no 10 a lad Warnock catching my eye he’s 19 very energetic and influenced the game well really got about the park and is one I would keep an eye on, they also had a big strong  young number 8 who also did well and again worth keeping an eye on.

  9. Just back from the reserve game at Cumnock v Killie

    Really good game could have went either way 2-2 when I left

    Ayr really have good depth in there squad which will help as the season goes along, today the boy Williams really caught the eye scored a great goal and I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t start on Saturdays Morton game.

    Oconnor Ashford McKenzie Smith all played well also and the Moff had a run out second half along with Bryden

    Most good teams have a healthy reserve side pushing them on and I have to say we have that which is very healthy. We have a few good youngsters as well not sure who they were but they did really well with Ecrepont probably the pick, think this needs to be the year he kicks on and I would have no worries if he was put in for the struggling Reading. Surprised he wasn’t involved today possibly has a knock

     

  10. Definitely  rode our luck a few times again but we’re unlucky a couple of times also, like the Partick game we were better in the box than them so we’ll done. The next game will be a battle of the midfield which I’m sure Bullen will know, there only change being Efe in since the last game and we all know he likes to give out presents now and again, a decent signing for them but no more than that he is def a gamble that’s why he’s not had a club till now.

    Cant see Bullen changing his style at home so I think it will be another rollercoaster.

  11. Firstly a highly entertaining game, I expected a win today but have to say that was a 100% better Cove team than the one we played up there the big key for them was the big striker who caused us lots of problems held the ball up well and got them up the park time and again, if he was in our team we would have won that easily. Cove keep that up they will win more than they loose so let’s give some credit to them. We had numerous chances to win it and a poor pass from Dipo when young was clear summed up our finishing, I think that was the reason he was taken off as he looked tired.

    on to the Jags now who will have a big reaction after there demolition today could be an interesting game it does not surprise me as I liked the look of Queens despite the heavy loss to us.

  12. Agree with Bullen we totally deserved to win but 5-0 ? everything we set up seemed to go in,  we were due that after last week where Inverness stole the points.

    Queens have quite a few good players so will be fine and wouldn’t be surprised if they are in top four along with ourselves. Only issue I had was listening to Coyle  after game where he gave absolutely zero compliments to Ayr, everything was down to  how bad his team played and mistakes from his team and nothing to do with our good play

    Think we have a right good squad now and one that is capable of a top four place, only team I haven’t seen in the flesh is Partick but will do a week on Tuesday from what I have seen I do not fear any of the rest.

  13. Well a lot of negativity on here and I can’t see why

    We should have got something from yesterday but just didn’t get the breaks in front of goal, Inverness goal was where they got a wee break.

    I would say that if you are getting 20 corners in a game you must make the goalie work and we didn’t so we must put some work in there at training.

    In the first half we totally outplayed them and yes missed two very easy chances, 2-0 would not have embarrassed us in that half. For me only two players weren’t at it and not for the lack of effort as they both work there socks off and you know who they are.

    I think we have a very good squad with good competition and am confident we will finish top four, and will get better as the season goes on.

    For me Ashford and McKenzie are ideal players to bring on when teams are tiring with there pace and work rate, and I hope Bullen sees that with some changes next week.
