I reckon mutch was signed with the intention of being the no.1 keeper next season as albinson wasn’t going to sign another deal

Yep I’m imagine it’s going to be him if anyone

Probably going to be a lb. Young lad from rangers would be my guess

Queen of the south away couple seasons back was last time I think the club paid supporters buses. Didn’t help that some Ayr supporters were involved in an assault and can remember all the buses being stopped by the police.

Club has already stated they are looking for a head coach

Surely true fans would still go the game regardless to cheer on the honest men.

In the case of bryden especially, not long left on his contract. Send him to league 2 and if he scores a barrelload we extend his contract but if he goes there and doesn’t score many then we don’t extend his contract. Simple. We shouldn’t keep players on the squad who have come through the academy if they just aren’t good enough. McKenzie should have been gone ages ago.

Thought McCall might have come in for bryden or mckenzie on loan

anyone who watched that game on Saturday against Inverness would know that with no signings, Ayr will either be relegated or in the relegation play off. We’re just lucky Arbroath are rubbish this season however I can still see Arbroath winning on Saturday

always thought Scottish football teams are better with ‘managers’ and not ‘head coaches’

The simple answer is there are just so many of the current squad who bullen relies on even as squad players who just aren’t championship level quality. Smith/bryden/mckenzie/Mcallister/ecrepont/reading. Of the squad of players on Saturday there I’d keep mutch/stanger/Dempsey/chalmers/young/Murphy/dowds/albinson/amartey. Everyone else quite frankly can get in the bin. However the fact the club is in this situation isn’t just down to bullen it’s down to this muppet so called ‘head of recruitment’ and however much influence Mathie has on signings. Do you think we would have had any interest in signing McGeady if Mathie wasn’t the managing director? I doubt it.

Surely the recruitment from a club like ayr, the first thing you to is get the best out of contract players from The league below i.e stanger. Then see who in Scotland wasn’t offered a new contract i.e Jacubiak/Wotherspoon etc and then go from there. See what the old firm have loan wise, then head down south for all these random players we pick up.

Our rubbish season all comes down to the shocking recruitment in the summer. Mathie says Bullen has final say yet at the q&a I’m pretty sure bullen said he wanted full backs and he never got it. Since glendinning started, out of all the players we have signed (which has been quite a lot) only a handful have been successful. Recruitment in football is not an easy task, however when McCall was manager, pretty sure we had far more success with signings.

Bryden out on loan jacubiak in. Decent squad player for Championship. Ideally we should push the boat out and bring in a proven goalscorer. Need a brick shithouse of a defensive midfielder (Liam Bridcutt), and a box to box attacking midfielder. That would see us well.

I reckon smith and pendlebury with a Jamie Adams type hard man behind them would be a very good midfield.

We rely on Dipo the same season we relied heavily on Shankland. We would have stormed the league that season had shankland not been out for a sustained period and lost his form when he came back

What’s been annoying all season is communication with the club about injuries and how long players have been out for. Yes you can’t tell exactly how long a player is out for but useful for fans to know. Take O’Connor for example, went off injured a month ago and nothing said whatsoever.

We’re you not watching the Raith game?

Stay in troon mate. I’d imagine the reserve list has a fair few on it already. Quite last minute plan to go up to cove hence why I didn’t already get seat on bus

Anyone driving to cove with a spare seat? Don’t mind contributing to food costs. Just realised trains are on strike

Mcginty had an alright game and a cracking goal but does it not frustrate you how 9/10 times when he gets the ball it’s just booted straight up top.

I would also disagree with bullens thought on ashford. He’s pretty much done nothing since he scored on his debut against accies. He very rarely jumps for the ball and spends most of his time rolling on the ground. But he runs about a lot so that’s why he starts. Credits to Musonda he had a very good game as did Macalister

I think it’s true we need to get out the fringe players and get in new signings with quality either on loan or permanently. Everyone can see that team needs at least 2 quality signings. If we offered Mcinroy and Adeloye decent money then that money must still be available. With the best will in the world McAllister/Hewitt and Mckenzie are currently not championship level.

What are the opening times of the club shop? Need to pick up season ticket

If your ever on a Glasgow train on a Sunday morning with a game at ibrox you’ll see why ayr haven’t got a particularly large support.
