Happy with that

[Richey Edwards]

A FANTASTIC addition.

Just a little odd he openly said going out on loan last season was a mistake, hope it works out and not another Bruce Anderson.    Before you reply my memory of Anderson is a guy who categorically didn’t want to be at Ayr or in the Championship, worse than the Cammy Smith outcome IMO.

Could it be loan until the end of the season and then permanent deal?

I think he regretted going out on loan as quickly as he did. Think he was told early on he wouldn’t play so jumped at the first move he got. Ultimately it didn’t work out as Accies are a basket case and would make any player miserable. Looks like he’s held off and thought about his options before leaving this time round. Hopefully he does the business.

Happy with that, good addition I think. 

Predominantly a right winger from what I remember? Hopefully a good bit of competition for O'Connor.

Also hoping this means no more McKenzie out wide.

[Superhursy7]

If we shove mckenzie out wide again it would be crazy Bullen has at last found a position that he's doing well in.

[Pick that one out Marshall]

Decent player hope his Hamilton experience is well out of his system.

[Colkitto]

Can't see Ayr in the relegation dog fight this season.... 

[Iain]

Good area to add an extra body.

Think Bully has eventually worked out McKenzie is not a winger and he can trust O'Connor out wide, I think Daire works a lot harder than folk give him credit for and Houston is a different player with him in front of him. McKenzie is a massive reason why we've improved him and Dipo are bullying defenses, that's why I think a Eddie annand type striker would inhibit Dipo as he'd have to do all the work.

They also seemed to play him as a centre mid quite a bit.  Not sure that's his strongest.

Manager David Martindale said: “It’s with a bit of regret that Josh is now out on loan again as I feel the move for both parties hasn’t worked out how we both hoped it would. Josh has been a very good player for the club and myself over the years he has been at the club.

“Last season, Josh was probably a bit premature in his decision to go out on loan but I also understood why. This season we both agreed that we would give it as much time as possible – but it hasn’t quite worked out the way we hoped in terms of game time for Josh. We are playing a slightly different system, or have been of late, and it’s left Josh with little game time.

That reads as if he is away from Livi at the end of the season. Doesn't seem to be any intention of retaining him post contract expiry. Good chance of him signing on with us at season end if he plays well.

[Lochwood]

^{A good signing who will challenge for the midfield position, good strong on the ball and will make the runs we need from midfield to support the strikers nd will get a few goals I’m sure.}

Just need that other striker now nd if we pick up a decent one we won’t be far away based on what I’ve seen so far, think Thistle and Dundee will fight it out with the size of squads they have but I’m hopefull we can get in the top four.

No major surprise. Well worked out last night. Good solid signing. Still need a striker though

 

[accies1874]

He didn't work out for us but he was signed by Rice just before Taylor came in and changed how our wingers played. Unbelievable delivery from set-pieces and open play but the latter wasn't utilised enough due to playing as an 8 and then in a midfield two. Can definitely see how he'd be better in the right setup though.

That's probably our weakest suit at the moment so hopefully Josh can help us out there. I watched him a good few times at Kilbirnie before he hit the big time and he always stood out a mile as a classy operator who was far too good for the Juniors.
