The Ultimate Super Ayr Thread


Recommended Posts

Lee Bullen getting a tune out of Sean McGinty is one of his finest achievements so far imo.

Big man has been solid, which is great to say because he's the sort of player that you really want to be playing well because of how great a guy he is on/off the pitch.

McGinty's distribution is largely poor, that is neither a hot take nor is it a harsh criticism. It's a fact.

He's not in the team for his distribution though. He's there to defend and he's been doing a great job of that this season.

McGinty has changed his game since Hopkin/Duffy fecked off. I think Bullen has seen him as a defender, not the player that hoofs it up the park at any given opportunity and has worked on him with that in training.

Let's be honest, if you were a wee nippy striker, you'd absolutely hate running into McGinty.

McGinty is an absolute unit but when Ayr played against him, and during spells last season, it's s though he shrunk. That Bullen and the coaches have managed to get him to puff his chest out and be the imposing figure he is is perhaps down to good man management as much as getting him to defend. He's obviously had something about him to have come from the level he did, as much as the fantasy bookers of p+b would try and convince you otherwise. Let's not also forget his time spent in Scotland pre-Bullen was in a dreadful Gary Caldwell Thistle team, a dreadful David Hopkin Morton team, and a dreadful David Hopkin and Jim Duffy Ayr team. 

Is he Maldini? Clearly not, but he's a huge part of this team who are having a great season so far.

His coaching of McGinty and McAllister has been different class.

Signing McGinty was a perfect sign of how much of a binfire Smith's decisions were making the club at the time.  A crap defender who had solely been at the bottom end of the championship the whole time he was here.  

The job that BGM has done with him is very good - he's become one of the better centre backs in the league.  It's rare in this league you see good players improve never mind bad ones low on confidence.  

If he's away in the summer it's time for a Sam Roscoe redemption arc.

Not only his coaching but his man management in keeping all the fringe players heavily involved and feeling part of everything that's happening. I also think he needs commended on his handling of our young players and the fact that so many of them have already had game time.

As guys like Mullin and Chalmers have said, it's a great club and dressing room to be involved in and that is obviously paying great dividends for us on the pitch.

Maybe we're seeing a hint now of the promising young guy that Man Utd paid Charlton £1 Million for ??
