muZZa__44 Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 i feel we overachived in general but just how we started off so great only to falter near the end and somehow still managed to finish second is a miracle, i wouldn't be trying to sack Bullen unless he decides to walk and see how he does next season without a miracle buy like Akinyemi but next season i'm just wanting midtable safety 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUFC 1910 Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Does anyone think that the powers that be may be planning for a proper promotion push in another 3/4 years or so? By that time, match day and non match day income streams should be running at full steam, with the new north stand development having had a couple of years operating. Combined with the “selling model” it should hopefully create a war chest suitable for success. With all that in mind, it may well be that Bullen is seen as the one to nurture us through this development phase? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I'm not going along on Friday. I am absolutely spent mentally. I will be watching on the telly and hoping for a minor miracle. I hope Dipo is playing and Thistle lose a man early. I must have been at about 30+ games this season and that's with missing 2 or 3 home games. I think I've earnt sitting this one out. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't risk making a big song and dance about him coming back for Friday and then it gets to Friday night and he's not in the team. There would be a riot with fans thinking the club have just done it to exploit more ticket sales. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullen seems confident of there being a massive crowd on Friday, not sure where he's getting that from. I've already been speaking to a few "casual" Ayr fans if you want to call them that who were telling me on Friday that as long as it's still a close affair after the 1st leg they'll be at Somerset, funnily enough none of them are going now. Expect we'll probably have 3,000 max and Thistle will bring that down so will be 50/50, if it had been all to play for we could have probably brought out 4,000-5,000 to take it to about 7,000-8,000 at Somerset, shame as it would have been phenomenal to see the old place bouncing like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fair thou i look at his stats and he had the same amount of goal contributions this season as McAllister, Reading and Houston combined (3 Goals and 3 Assists) which for me has been a problem for me all season with our fullbacks (thou i would say Davidson would be an upgrade on Houston with McAllister as the more defensive backup) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're Ayr fans though and we don't get nice things. We'll have Houston and Reading lining up come first game of the season and we'll enjoy it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, it was our team that was set up as if we had no idea Dipo wasn’t playing. For me, the most important question for Friday is how we're going to set up in defence. I hope Bullen was sufficiently angry at our fullbacks to drop them both. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
