Alibi Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 With Lithgow and Mclean missing, the obvious thing is indeed to have Ledger and McEntee as the CBs, so expect Lewis Strapp and Kyle Jacobs to fill those two slots... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean we'll have McGinty and Fjortoft as our central pairing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Listened to Duffy’s post match interview from Saturday and I can see where Ayr fans are coming from. I’d have expected him to be absolutely spewing after that performance but it was the equivalent of a verbal shrug, just admitting Pars deserved to win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost of B A R P Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 ------------Hamilton------------ Hynes--Ledger--McEntee--Strapp -------------Jacobs------------ ------Lyon----------Oksanen--- -------------Oliver------------- ----Ugwu------------Reilly------ Let Hynes and Strapp handle their wing-backs one-on-one, with Jacobs, Lyon, and Oksanen actually providing some cover when and if they double up. Then generally batter them through the middle and up front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 I think the Reilly experiment is over. I'd honestly take Muirhead over him at this point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mps02 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Tbqhwy, grab 11 Jakeys out the pub to play against us and my money is on them. Rancid is too good a word for Ayr at this moment. Think on this, 7 goals conceded in the last two games, we had two half hearted shots on target in total in these games. Duffy cannot be bothered. Seaside league here we come. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hynes and Strapp need to take that on (with appropriate cover, as said) and allow us the extra man through the middle… and Reilly and Ugwu exposing their wide centre-backs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair… tbh I’m not bothered either way, as long as MacPherson sets up to expose Ayr’s obvious weaknesses and actually try to win the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manager, players and now fans are just scunnered with it. Really disheartening to see how little effort there appears to be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We play 4-1-4-1 most of the time, we do not have wide centre backs. Duffy does occasionally swap to a back 5 with predictable consequences though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These two teams matching up in lines of four will get football stopped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, you know better than most how bad our centre back options are. Most of you definitely sold us one with Fjortoft, you had me believing he was somewhat competent before we signed him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah we played 4411 that day looking back Fjørtoft Baird McGinty Reading We might well go back to a 5 since we've been getting bodied and McGinty is fit again though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t see that game… but if he wants to stick Fjortoft in at right-back again… Don’t suppose there’s any chance of McGinty at left-back?* *Oh sorry, that was our clown… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
