super_carson Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Good result and a good performance overall. No disrespect intended, but that does come with the caveat of being against a Morton team that has been poor as we have this season. I was pleased to see bit more effort than we saw in the last two games, and for the most part we kept the ball on the deck and created some fairly decent chances. Thought McKenzie did well, though maybe needs a strike partner (Moore if/when fit?) and Ndaba and Muirhead swapping positions made a difference in the middle of the park too, particularly for Murdoch. Certainly there was more in that performance than I have seen for a while, but its vital we go and get a decent result midweek now. There’s probably enough quality in that squad for a new manager to work with, but momentum in this league is so vital. It’s tough run of games coming up, but hopefully a change to tactics/shape will see us pick up enough points. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely looks like Chalmers stops us playing that way, better tempo, better movement and much better passing today and we totally controlled the game from about the 35th minute. Morton played like we've been playing in recent weeks and it ain't good !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North British Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Chalmers is a luxury we can’t afford at the moment , fair play to White in spotting that . Great to see young McKenzie getting a chance , he’ll get better with time . Also well done to Aero , last season’s pantomime villain for many Ayr fans , always a no frills big hard b*****d for me . Every team has one . Huge result , takes a bit of pressure of the new guy who ever he may be .... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 In many ways, while being a fun listen on commentary, Andy Ritchie is akin to the stereotype of yer da. Constantly complaining, talking about the way football used to be etc. Yet even he can see and succinctly summarise the glaring problems with this team which the fitness coach the club have left in charge can't spot. We'd probably be better off with the 65 year old co-commentator who hasn't had a coaching role in over 30 years than the glorified PE teacher we've got; you can be confident he'd at least put our best players on the park, considering how much he struggles to disguise his contempt for obvious duds like Blues and Salkeld. Again, if we had a manager, he'd be getting sacked today. We don't have a manager, we haven't won in 10, we've lost four of our last seven, we're putting Cameron Blues and Sean McGinty on the pitch while Reece Lyon and Markus Fjortoft are on the bench and the club is just going to plough on with this as if it's okay and relegation isn't inevitable without an immediate change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 The league table suddenly looks much more encouraging, even 1 point from our 2 games in hand moves us back above Arbroath, one win would take us mid table and breathing space and 1 win and a draw or 2 wins would put us back to challenging for the top 4 !! Just shows how tight this league is !!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Changing the manager would be the equivalent of pushing a panic button - which is exactly what a functioning professional football club would be doing right now though, as there is no chance of survival without a change. Queen of the South got rid of their manager going into the play-offs a few seasons ago because they were doomed, and scraped survival. That said, I'm not convinced that we will get much benefit from it. Unlike Ayr who will benefit from the Kerr sacking, our squad has been rancid since Hopkin's shambolic mismanagement in the summer and we let other teams strengthen much more than us in January. I say 'more than' but of course our signings then have not even been getting on the park, so we haven't strengthened at all. It's very difficult to engage with the absolute state that this club is in now on a weekly basis, between the Raes and the highly fortuitous pandemic that is covering for them. I just want things to be fast forwarded to a point where those asset-strippers are out of the picture, and if that means being in the Second or Third Division again or indeed just blowing the whole thing up and starting all over again then so be it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mod1967 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Great result for Ayr, much needed after the downward spiral that Kerr had us on, hopefully steady the ship now and the new manager can repair the damage the Kerr experiment caused and gear us from now and over the summer for next season and the derbies. Hope Morton stay up ,better bunch than either Thistle or Falkirk 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
