Guest Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 As I mentioned yesterday, the 3 new boys that Arbroath brought in all looked pretty useful so there's definitely players out there who can come in and do a job. On paper Brad Young looked like a good signing as had played 14 times the previous season in League 2 in England, however he never really looked up to the job apart from a couple of games where he WAS really good but if I'm being honest I didn't think he was any better than Bryden for the most part. That's the whole point here, if we're going to be bringing guys in who can play in forward positions, then they need to be an upgrade on McKenzie, Bryden, Daire, JML and Ashford, otherwise it's just further adding to an already bloated pool of guys in these types of positions. Dipo and Mullin are guaranteed starters but it's really any 1 or 2 from the rest mentioned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two would be dangerous if they were reliable goalscorers. Two are still basically untrusted youngsters. The last is a holdover from the previous management who has been a square peg ever since on accounts of being a ball-carrying winger in a team which prefers to shell the ball out from defense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, so unless we're shipping a body or two out then we really need to be going for someone who's reckoned will make a real impact / guaranteed starter as opposed to just another mediocre squad type player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's unfortunately the problem Ayrs gonna have here. Taking on board the massive step up from the dire Hopkin era, Daire O'Connor is better than the likes of Cameron Salkeld Imo. Akinyemi has shown more than Adeloye, Kirk looks better than Baird Etc. For every Sexy Farmer man Jamie Adams, there's sadly a dud like David Bangala etc It's really hit or miss with players fitting a manager's system. Thankfully, the good outweigh the bad under Bullen so far. I have faith that any signing for Ayr will be a good one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted January 18, 2023 Author Share Posted January 18, 2023 Did Kirk take a knock against Arbroath? Also heard yesterday that Musonda had two different tears in his leg and that isn’t even close to being fit. Hope that’s a load of nonsense but if it isn’t then we really need cover for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye if that's true then a CB has to be a major priority especially if Kirk is going to be unreliable - we absolutely can't be going into second half of season with only McAllister and McGinty as options. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure kirk was limping at some point after a strong challenge, may have been the goal saving challenge towards the end. If that's the case about Musonda i think we need to be looking to bring in a defender on loan even just as cover tbf 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not too bad then, would assume he would only miss the cup tie in that case. What about Murdoch - is it a thigh muscle he has hurt? Think that maybe got mentioned post match v Hamilton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
