Good to see weaknesses being recognised and remedied.

Oh aye, the club have always been excellent on every single thing since Mike Caird has come in and this is just another good move and step to try and address some of the issues we’ve clearly had to deal with recently. Barry spoke very well on the podcast. Hopefully this helps and takes some of the pressure off Dick and Ian. Hard for them to watch much football away from our actual league opponents

Barry Sellars, Brown Ferguson and Craig Ireland given roles at the club in charge of player recruitment. Love that and think it’s a great move, should help Dick and Pink out a lot 

Always remember sellars as more of a midfielder but i’d give him a bash up front

100% this. 

Not entirely sure where they're currently based, but going on guess work alone, Brown will cover Stirling / Glasgow,  Barry North East, Craig Dundee / Edinburgh ??

****    Just read the official statement announcing Barry's lead role.

LookS a positive move. Also could look a bit like they’ve admitted our recruitment has been rank rotten but at least we’re doing something about it. 

Recruitment couldn't have been much worse, to be fair, so we will see where it goes

Dick has the arrogance of a man that will flat out deny there is a problem. Will refuse to listen to advice and simple observations. And will demand his way is the only way.

Today sums up everything wrong about his approach to games.

Last we looked like we played 4-2-3-1. Linn Allan McKenna behind Fosu. Squad overall looked good.

Gave you width and drive forwards and stability in defence.

Today ToB was missing. So one change needed. Drop Bitsindou and bring another DM (Gold/Jacobs) or move Hammy in and play Hancock at LB.

Nope. Lets shuffle about. Bitsindou back, Tait out wide (Though he barely stayed there) McKenna up top and bring Gold and Jacobs into the midfield.

No width down the right as Oakley cant cover every blade of grass. McKenna struggling with the high balls. Centre midfield struggling and losing the ball.

Allan looking pissed off. Can only pass left as no one out right and McKenna up top being bossed about by every Ayr defender.

Game is crying out for an attacking option..... brings on the wonderboy Corfe. FFS.

How can Isiaka and Shanks feel if almost every week they are being over looked for only striker position for players that are clearly not up to the job. Then see the manager bring on a defender when chasing a game.

Oh and Linn lasted 90 mins. Thought he was too old to last past 60mins.

Got it wrong for me again today...

Why was Mckenna given no support, then when Scott went off why not just put Hancock on, 

Far to many individual mistakes at times again especially from Jacobs given the ball away, 

Fosu again showed nothing for me and Corfe isn't at this level in a million years,

If you look at shots on goal you might as well call it Ayr vs Linn

Thought Allen had his best game but at times had absolutely no one to pass it forward too
