Thereisalight.. Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 It must be frustrating for Ecrepont. Touted as the next big thing about 6 years ago and still kicking his heels on the bench most weeks. Good luck to him at Stranraer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizarre one, would have said he needs to be trying league one level too not league 2. Leaves us chronically short at LB now with just Reading whereas RB has Houston/McAllister and Bangala as an option. Unless this chalmers replacement can play LM/LB? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Would like to think we will have some sort of left sided defender coming in as cover, however I don't think Ecrepont going out on loan will free up that much of a wage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did quite well when he was included in the first team, the boy can cross a good ball 🫤 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hewitt has played LB before I am sure and Musonda has covered at LB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One game i seen him play there he looked terrible IMO plus he's not exactly a cert to be fit for the rest of the season. Oh well fingers crossed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb123! Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) Just thinking deadline day is going to be an interesting one on Tuesday night since we're away to Cove. Wonder if it'll be a case of Bully and the team up in Aberdeen and Mathie/Glendinning & Co down at Somerset doing business... Not exactly ideal if any business is going down to the wire Edited January 26, 2023 by rb123! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Bilham played LB for Meadow when he was on loan. Unlikely he'd get off the bench even if Reading's out though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Venom Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I could be wrong but I think it was out there that Nisbet's change of attitude coincided with him losing his dad. In any case good luck to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either which way the only way that this'll be acceptable is if we got a large fee for Dipo and spent it on this very window. Did say if we get the fee we are looking for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrmail Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Mcginty is left back cover as well as Masonda probably better if needed and leave Kirk and Masonda in the middle. Wouldn't want to loose Akinyemi but if they are offering 7 fig not sure we could turn it down, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I would far rather Ecrepont goes out on loan, than spending 95% of the rest of the season on the bench - league one would have been better, but assuming that wasn’t an option. I think Musonda will slot in at LB when he is fit anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but we would need to spend it now looking for a valid replacement, not in 6 months time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Hopefully a good move for Ecrepont. I’ve only ever seen him play those 2-3 games recently, both times out of position at right back. Looked ok against hamilton and Raith, but had a torrid time against Partick. I guess it’s now or never for the boy - he was being spoken about as a big prospect as far back as McCall being in charge and has never made the breakthrough. I suppose it’s a concern that since then, Kerr, Hopkin, Duffy and now Bullen haven’t really fancied him ahead of Reading who has been very up and down throughout his time at Ayr. Age can only be an excuse for so long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Good to see Ecripont go out on loan, I think everyone hopes he makes it as a player and at Ayr in particular. Hopefully a good few months down there will bring him on. Him going out makes me think we’ll have someone in before tomorrow night. On Dipo to Hibs, he has gone off the boil since the window opened, whither he has had a move knocked back and gone in a bit of a huff, or he’s lost his focus or simply and more likely, teams are setting up to cut his supply. Either way I think it would put teams off paying silly money to get him this window. If he goes out and rattles 4 in against Cove in the next two games then that might change obviously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty unsurprising that he doesn't seem to be getting in the same goalscoring positions as before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hursty Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Bullen in press conference saying Murdoch and O'Connor both unlikely to make the Cove games and sounds like Musonda not actually training yet so Queens Park game seems ambitious for him, Ayrshire Post maybe slightly ambitious with their report on Wednesday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dipo has been playing well, he needs support and most of our other attacking players are average 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
