Would be interesting to know what drew Kerr and McArdle to Wright instead! Wright was very good in Ireland tbf, and looked quite good fit as a lone striker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He done ok at Partick but you are correct he was shocking for us before and that would not have changed going by the style we were playing , we needed an out and out big centre forward 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if Mr Smith has taken the land of LC and going to build Ashleigh houses on it. Also regarding us purchasing the car park off of Kirkwood, i wonder if that means he isn't going ahead with his housing development behind the railway end, surely wouldn't sell his share of the proposed through road to the houses if he was still going ahead with it Houses not going ahead at Somerset , I thought someone posted on another thread the land at Heathfield had already been sold ( not 100% sure on this ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another who wasn’t given a chance with us, minutes here and there. Scored goals for Livingston earlier in the season and has been fantastic for Partick. 4 minutes ago, Robbo63 said: He done ok at Partick but you are correct he was shocking for us before and that would not have changed going by the style we were playing , we needed an out and out big centre forward Okay a huge understatement! Tiffoney would undoubtedly have been a huge improvement on anything we had. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly a further car park, allow us to build some form of club gym or something in the current car park. Think a training complex is a bit pie in the sky just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant disagree he would have been a better player than what we had , but our style of play would have just passed him by , Partick used him in an attacking wide position with Graham and Rudden through the centre , don’t think he would have been suited to be an out and out centre forward which is what we were needing at the time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 52 minutes ago, Robbo63 said: Not bringing in a forward was a major concern, there must have been someone out there that could have done a job , I think Wright was a knee jerk reaction by previous management but Hopkin did have time to rectify it but for some reason didn’t At the season's end our top scorer of league goals was Cammy Smith with a miserly total of six. Even for a curtailed programme that is a grim statistic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superhursty7 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 IIRC Hugh Burns was top goal scorer with 4 in or around 1994 so 6 isn't that bad [emoji39] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted May 2, 2021 Author Share Posted May 2, 2021 The problem with Tiffoney was that we didn’t actually need him last season and only used him as McGuffies spot on the bench. He’d probably have been pretty handy though had he been given a regular spot in the team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pick that one out Marshall Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 1 hour ago, RandomGuy. said: Wright was very good in Ireland tbf, and looked quite good fit as a lone striker. Got to agree Wright was not match fit when he he came here, then an injury set back. Unfortune for Wright but if you're not fit or carrying an injury it is difficult to judge. I think coming in pre season and working up to the speed of the game he would have been ok. He was trying to play catch up in a very poor side. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right but it would suggest that Ayr no longer own the land. Near a recycling centre and an abattoir isn't exactly the greatest location for a stadium never mind houses so good luck to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
