Superhursty7 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 If Scougall has been released he can sign after the window, he might be tempted to come to us for a 6 month deal on lower wages to put himself in the shop window I won't hold my breath though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Ally Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) From what I've read it's us or Dunfermline. They will be able to pay a better wage, but hopefully the chance of going back to the premier league is more important to him. I doubt we can even pay half of what he was on though so seems unlikely.

He’s not the player he once was and appears a bit injury prone, he’s not shy if he’s still looking for that kind of cash, can’t see many clubs ready to splash out that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Wonder whether he's looking for a short-term deal to put himself in the window, or a longer contract to offer security in case he can't stay healthy or his level has dropped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Potentially he could be a great signing, however for £1,600 per week he'd certainly need to be !!! All in all I'm more than happy with our current squad and as I mentioned to someone the other night, I've never experienced a season supporting Ayr where we've been the dominant force in virtually all our matches both home and away and quite often we're racking up 70% & 80% possession stats. It certainly wasn't what I was expecting to happen this season and is far removed from attempting to sneak an equaliser in a home match against the likes of Morton & Dunfermline which has pretty much been the norm for the past 20 years or so........... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb123! Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Seen Scott Wright apparently not leaving Aberdeen on loan today so that deal looks dead in the water. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In recent weeks we've had a lot of possession but dominant force, not for me. Up until that point though, and certainly on Friday (and supposedly Tuesday). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Ally Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Scougall is the last slim glimmer of hope then by the looks of it. Sorry but we haven't came close to 70 or 80% possession in any game this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the "opta" stats to hand, however I'd say we've been close to that in most of our matches, certainly we've had the majority of the ball from what I've seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you're right, according to BBC our average is just over 60%. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yid_in_Exiile Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 We've been in the high 60's possession-wise quite a few times, but never into the 80's ever nor likely the 70's either. But even 66% possession is a dominant stat - you have the ball twice as long as your opponents. Trouble is possession stats are the worst sort of show pony bulls&it to judge games by if you don't do enough with it and are content to play in front of two packed lines of four. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, however if the other team don't have the ball they can't score a goal (unless it's an og of course), however the fact that we've been at the top of the league most of the season would suggest that we have been doing enough with the ball when we've got it, with the exception of a few matches recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb123! Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Chelsea had 70% possession against Bournemouth last night and still got gubbed 4-0.So you can have all the possession in the world but it's no use if you can't do anything with it in the final third. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true but I always think it's better to watch your team with the ball than without, unless your just passing it aimlessly from side to side of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superhursty7 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Our new signing, hope he can help us to the title.I like the look of that, I think we have so much of the ball 20 to 30 years out but never take a pop at goal as some one said earlier McDaid scored a few crackers from outside the box last seaskn but this season he rarely shoots 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
