Guest Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Anyone who thinks we aren't where we deserve to be, obviously hasn't attended many of our games. We're up top on merit and have dominated the majority of our matches, I can't actually recall any game where we've been "lucky" or "got away with murder" etc and in fact we were extremely unfortunate not to take something from Dingwall. We may not have a huge pool of players but we do have around 17 or 18 players who are all regular 1st team standard and I also can't think of anyone who seriously weakens our team. Long way to go, but having played everyone I really see nothing we should be fearing from your Dundee United's or anyone else.

Superhursty7 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 It wasn't a fluke but you could call it a freak result apart from rangers, Falkirk at home and county away no one else has scored more than one against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, we had scored 23 goals in the 7 previous games so the fact we scored so many in that game was definitely a freak occurrence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgy keeper plus a fair bit of ineptitude from the Falkirk front line gave us the win when a draw would probably have been fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parkhouse Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 The stats don’t back up this “Falkirk were unlucky” chat. We had something like 59% possession, far more shots at goal, far more corners, and Falkirk failed to manage one shot on target. We won because we attacked more than them and when you do that you obviously increase the chances of a “lucky” goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AYRSHIRE_ANGUS Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Getting that result after what sounds like a sickness bug passed through the squad last week is even more impressive. Hopefully everyone is back to full health for Saturday as Dobbie is likely to take the half chances that Falkirk got on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t say Falkirk were unlucky, but I lost count of the number of times they got in behind us in the wide areas and then proceeded to do anything other than find someone with the same colour of shirt as them. Credit goes to Bell and Rose who defended well, but truthfully a better team would have hurt us. Outside of Moore’s goal which should have been saved, I don’t honestly remember us having many chances other than 2 efforts from Shankland, one over the bar and one past the post.

Jazzar Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 While most if not all Ayr United fans are extremely happy with young Doohan's performances between the sticks, I wonder if the same can be said about Queen's fans and their keeper Alan Martin - at fault for both goals against the Arabs last Saturday I'd say....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gm0rpk9Ij_I. He'll need a vastly improved performance if Shankland is on form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn’t agree more- if any team has serious aspirations about competing for promotion it is inconceivable that this will be achieved by sitting back trying to frustrate teams. I actually backed you at a huge price to win the league after your league cup exploits and while there is a long road ahead I am very envious of your approach and positive outlook. Even if you fall short at end of day(and I don’t see any reason why you will fall away) the anticipation of expecting to win games and looking forward to Saturday afternoons is what it’s surely all about.

Parkhouse Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 The best chance of the game was probably the one Smith(?) flashed across the front of the goal and Moff just failed to connect with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn`t helped that he seemed to be injured from pretty much the outset. He`s been a real disappointment thus far. Dumbarton fans also rated him. He`s a significant part (though not only part) of the reason that we seem to struggle to defend any high ball into our box. Time to try Leighfield in goals from my point of view.

Saturday didn`t help though. 1st time I have seen those after reading about two goalkeeping howlers and not having been there. I wouldnt blame the keeper for either of them to be honest, though Martin's own reaction to the first suggested he took the blame. Its a great cross though and difficult to come for. Safranko's movement is good but Fordyce isnt tight enough. 2nd one is a terrible error from Doyle. I dont think its a coincidence he hasnt played full back in about 3 months and then loses his position about ten mins after going out there.

All about opinions I guess and Fordyce should do better but if the keeper comes out for a ball that`s in the air for a long time then the situation is dealt with. Pretty clear form Naysmith`s interview on Saturday that he felt the same. As you confirm Martin knew he should have come for the cross but sadly it`s no surprise that he didn`t. Edit to add that Martin`s kicking was woeful first half on Saturday. He actually got an ironic cheer when he finally kept one in the park after a series of awful kicks. He also had the good humour to acknowledge the cheer and good on him for that. Agree the second goal is awful by Doyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I'm more annoyed Martin came then stopped. Like Tuesday night, had he stayed rooted to his spot he likely would have saved the header. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
