He’s under contract and has zero resale value so it doesn’t make sense from that point of view. Liam Grimshaw is out of contract and would easily slot in as our starting right back and can cover in midfield when needed. Feel like there will be another random plucked from down South who can maybe do a job. Maybe a loan or two with a view to making it permanent like Dempsey. I don’t see the club being in a position to all of a sudden spend a fair chunk of money at the first sign of a potential promotion. We have to be smarter than that. If it's a Right-Back yous are needing, Liam Smith is always available.. in all seriousness, please take him back, please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would've thought playing a guy who's 5'8 at Right Centre-Back wouldn't work... Cracking wee Midfielder too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing football players in the wrong positions is one of those stupid trends that football managers are currently following, just because Pep Guardiola did it one time. Give it time. It'll pass.

D'Jaffo Posted November 20, 2022 Author Share Posted November 20, 2022 As long as he's not playing Centre-Back you'll be grand.Playing him as a centre back is a sackable offence. I don’t see why any manager would even try him there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went along yesterday and between floodlights and stewarding costs I'd hope we'd be pocketing quite a bit. As for our game yesterday, disappointed to draw. Seems weird saying that as ICT were our bogey team for so long. Thought with the amount of injuries they had theyd be there for the taking. Ashford is a waste of a jersey imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would certainly help if he could actually score goals. The number of chances he squanders is ridiculous. That and fouls conceded. He was driving me mad with conceding fouls yesterday.

Yip, any time he gets the ball in a good area in the final 3rd I have no belief that he will score. Hopefully he gets one or two v Pollok and raise his confidence in that dept a bit!

Hopefully it is just confidence and he can get amongst the goals against Pollok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time he scored a decent number of goals in his career was when he played in the National League South in England. At Crawley he got 3 goals and 2 assists in 29 appearances and he has 2 goals and 4 assists in 31 appearances with us. Can't fault his effort or work-rate but he is simply not good enough. I would always start Young ahead of him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Do you lads have a forum? I'm a bit strange in that I like having a nosy at other team forums but all I could find was this: http://www.somersetroadend.com/forum/index.php?board=2.0 And that seems to average about a post a month... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Ashford must be the only player we have signed from the English lower or non leagues, whatever they are called that isn't a complete hit or dud. Obviously isn't as good as Dipo or Tomi, and I wouldn't put him in the Gondoh or Kenyon bracket either. Wonder if we will be raiding there again in January as I'm sure the scout guy has targets lined up, and with the success of Dipo maybe players see it as a more attractive option now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye that's it as far as I'm aware. We've always just had quite a lot of posters on here. There was a forum a while back called honestpage I believe but that's long gone now. I wasn't on it, not sure why it ended. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a complete cesspit though and best avoided. P&B is the only forum that Ayr fans regularly post on. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get your complete roasters of course, but P&B has it's fair share of them as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
