UpInTheAyr Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 As open as McCall is in his interviews, and I commend him for it, he's also prone to talking an awful lot of pish as well, especially when he's under pressure. I hope he has learnt from the mistakes of last season,the real test will be when the team is going through a bad patch and how he reacts to it. He set his stall out early saying he was going for the league, anything less than that and that will be two seasons in a row he's failed to hit his target.

He looks in a much better place at the minute and more comfortable talking about what's happening at the club. No outrageous comments either like Forrest or McGuffie being the best young players ever. Would go a step further than learning lessons from last season and include the one before also. The capitulations due to mass injury lists especially post Christmas and expecting half a dozen central midfielders to fill in can't happen again. Personally will let him off with not winning the league providing he gains promotion and good consistent performances across the full season.

Sure, it's not that simple when we're full time, but when we're part time it's unrealistic to expect us to finish ahead of full time teams...

Spot on. Anything less than promotion this season is a massive failure this season. We absoulotely should be at very worst comfortably in 2nd place this season.

D'Jaffo Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Did someone on here post that Dean Brett had been invited for pre season training before he signed for Montrose ?Only just seen that he's left them because it's too far to travel. Would be a good signing at this level and could play RB allowing Geggan to shift to midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that not a joke in relation to his gambling, further to us signing The Moff. Not sure if he's a good player, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was a joke it went right over my head. Seemed to be a decent player in a pretty terrible Cowdenbeath team. Looks like Geggan is the first choice RB anyway.

Hursty Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Hard to say, he's signed Reid who can play right back and is definitely after another centre half so that might suggest he fancies Geggan in midfield (hopefully). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 In the game against the Partick Colts he did push Geggan into midfield for a bit, so it's good he's keeping that option open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrunitedfw Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I think McCall's plan is to sign a CB and play Reid at RB and move Geggan in beside Docherty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strolling Frank Rolling Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I must be the only one that really rates Crawford. As long as McCall plays him in centre mid he will be our best player next year. He's not a winger but has been forced to play there to accommodate Cairney and Adams. A full time Robbie Crawford will be a joy to watch next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckfast Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Crawfords ball control is terrible, his second touch is a tackle. We should have got rid of him and kept Mick Wardope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Terrace Gazza Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Crawfords ball control is terrible, his second touch is a tackle. We should have got rid of him and kept Mick Wardope. Robbie Crawford is miles better than Wardrobe. This season will prove that McCall was right in keeping him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure McCall is keen on him. I know Chrissy has put his flat in Ayr up for rent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you, I think he offers more movement and running off the ball than any of our other options in the middle of the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCall said in the interview the other day that he was 'very impressed' with one of the Thistle players against us in the bounce game and that he'd be possibly speaking to Thistle about getting him on loan i presume. Not sure what position he plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Any idea who? There's a guy called Neil McGlaughlin who plays as a forward and was the top scorer last season in their development squad. No idea if he played or not but might be a target since McCall wants another forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
