Granny Danger Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Honestly don't know much about Ayr, however the stats show that they have not done too well at home in the league in recent weeks. I'm hoping VdS is back at right back, not sure how serious his injury is. Other than that the only potential change is up top; I thought VdV was poor on Friday but at least starting him gives the option of bringing Murray on from the bench when there are tired legs on the park. If we start with Murray then we have no real impact players at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFC 1910 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 This technically should have 0-3 written all over it. Probably depends on if we take any chances that come our way and how much the Arabs are up for it.We really are lacking a cutting edge in the 18 yard box, other than that we are actually good to watch and hard to beat ( some of the time ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyrWeGo Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Hmmm our result v Hibs was justified, but were unlucky in the Falkirk match. Only Raith and Hibs have more than deserved their victories at Somerset. We've had good results against Morton, QOS and Falkirk (in the cup), and really should have beaten St Mirren. If DU play to their best it realistically should go like the Hibs match, but we'll be up for it. Don't see Nisbet starting, but not sure if we'll go with O'Connell instead, most likely revert back to Forrest.

young buck Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Looking forward to this. Got pumped at tannadice so now we've found our feet just have a right go at them. I'd use nisbet to start and bring O'Connell on for the last quarter. The fitness macall is on about needs to be our weapon at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll not be wanting to hype it up, i assume he's training and once he's ready to be back in the squad, he'll be there and it will be in the match preview. This might be the week, you never know!

stevep56 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 It looked like Brian Gilmour picked up a painful injury at Dunfermline. I thought he went off mid way through the second half but not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Same team as Friday (with VdS in for Toshney if fit). I still fully expect United to let us down at some point but that is more to do with conditioning over the last 18 months or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's about as much chance of the chupacabra starting up front for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeArab Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Never been to Somerset park before, heading through on the train. I'm sure it'll be an experience anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Predictions We won't score but I doubt we will get horsed. Someone to do the embarrassing 'these are the games you want to play' shite in the run up. It might be a shout to switch McKenna and Balatoni around. IMO between left cb and the full back is where we are weakest (all combinations). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I was one of the people moaning about no out-and-out strikers earlier in the season, but at the time it was working well and since the change in shape results haven't been quite as good. Difficult to know if it was just a purple patch in form but I wouldn't have many reservations about reverting back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Never been to Somerset park before... Think Dens before the subbuteo stands went up and after the maintenance guy went on holiday for a generation.The wheels are bound to come off at some point, but not in this game. Bounce from the Hibs win leads to a 2-1 victory, Durnan and Flood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somerset Park is the footballing equivalent of New Lanark. It's preserved to show how people existed in centuries past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'm Brian Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Jings it's been thirty years since the wee United beat us at Somerset. Outclassed by a side that would beat Barcelona home and away later on in the same season. My head says I can't see anything else other than an away win, but my heart says you never know. We were totally gubbed in Dundee, but since then our form has been relatively OK. Looking forward to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
