I would be looking at extending that deal sooner rather than later . On Dipo though , he does appear to be more effective with a partner . So I’d be keeping it simple in a 442 for the next two or three games . However the arrival of the ghost might offer something different in therms of formation and shape . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads up, I'll get the factor 50 in the car just in case. Otherwise I'll look like this... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need another striker and an attacking midfielder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also disagree with bullens thought on ashford. He’s pretty much done nothing since he scored on his debut against accies. He very rarely jumps for the ball and spends most of his time rolling on the ground. But he runs about a lot so that’s why he starts. Credits to Musonda he had a very good game as did Macalister 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcginty had an alright game and a cracking goal but does it not frustrate you how 9/10 times when he gets the ball it’s just booted straight up top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Frankie alongside him it's not as frustrating. Last season both of our centre halves would launch it the way they were facing. McGinty just needs to get into the habit of giving it to Musonda to distribute. Big Sean also occasionally goes on a mazy run which I'm all for. I used to hate the guy but he's been a lot better this calendar year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursty7 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 With the ghost coming in I'm hoping we are going to see Paulo McGinty passing the ball to him instead of launching it and maybe steping back to cover Frankie when he strides forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credits to Musonda he had a very good game as did Macalister Ashford does lots of good work off the ball and his movement also pulls players away from others in the team. He was actually very unlucky not to score on Friday when he had an excellent turn and shot from the edge of the box in the second half. He was also up supporting Bryden when he blazed over in the first and had Bryden slipped the ball across then Ashford would have had a tap in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember saying on here after McGinty had a year extension put on his contract that I was really concerned about the prospect of him being our starting centre half this season. Think I remarked that because of the guys character I didn't mind him being around too much but felt we were going to need better options. I'm glad that so far (on the back of the last few months of last season and so far this season) he has really proved me wrong. Have grown to quite like him and was delighted for him getting the goal on Friday night. Long it may it continue. Must be said that the comfort I have with him starting is helped significantly by Musonda being next to him. Frankie is a baller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both would be great additions to this Ayr squad, though I'd also like a look at Bangala in midfield. I'd guess that Allen would take some wage 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superhursty7 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Controversial but as good as Alan is bringing him at this stage would be quite a risk, no pre season with his injury history I'd be scared he'd pick up an injury and and we would have spunked a massive part of our budget, the dream is Kelly if we can't get him I'd be happy seeing Cammy Smith come back but can't see The chairman sanctioning that deal. Up front Matej Poplatnik seams the most realistic but an out of the box signing would be Dapo Mebude on loan from wolves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think your right on Scott Alan , I think these kind of signings may come in good time , maybe after the North Bank is finished . On Cammy Smith , think David Smith was putting the deal together for Cammy to return and Hopkins blew a fuse . so the boy thought better not sign if the manager didn’t fancy it . So Smith might be open to it if Cammy is available and Bully rates him . All guess work but they are definitely doing their due diligence on somebody .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly retweeted a tweet suggesting as much. I recall it more as the moral arbiter who supports Thistle was here giving us a lecture as the retweeted tweet had some sort of slur in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
