Match Thread - Ayr vs Morton (Championship 29th December)

[TRVMP 3976]

We're all out of ideas and also running out of legs. Would take the draw at this point for sure.

[dunning1874 1482]

We looks completely devoid of ideas now, any possession in their half is gone in seconds. Nesbitt off instead of Orsi is bold, but maybe he'd had a knock.

[dunning1874 1482]

That's a let off, we should not be giving up free headers 6 yards out.

[TONofmemories 1612]

Id have taken a point before kick off. We've struggled at Ayr for a long time

[TONofmemories 1612]

Take that. 4pts against the little people. Got to be looking at teams around us 

[TRVMP 3976]

Disappointing that we were on the back foot after the equalizer, but that's three unbeaten in a row without too much discomfort. Onwards and upwards, or at least sideways.

We won our last game up there. 

Big drop off in the second half. Would’ve probably taken a point before kickoff but given how we were in the first 45 it feels like am opportunity missed. 

[dunning1874 1482]

Two points dropped, but three unbeaten from where we were and maintaining a gap to the bottom three is fine.

Same. Just checked the score there and it’s full-time.

Reece Lyon best player on the park, oozes class in the midfield. Hopkin should’ve got his jotters for not playing him alone. 

[Ton in Shawlands 39]

No real complaints with that. Dominated and were positive early on, faded out of it after the equaliser & obviously tired & hanging on in the later stages. I'd have taken a point before kick off. Not a complete performance but in places that was as watchable as we've been so far. Good tempo to much of the game.

[Nornirontons 21]

As dominant as Lyon was in first half...he was totally anonymous in second. 

Ledger and McGinty continue to impress. Fair play to McGinty. He really has stepped up and proved the doubters wrong atm!

Take the point and still undefeated under new regime!

He was literally the only player winning his battles in the last 15 mins or so and moving the ball.

Historically speaking, weve always struggled.

4pts against them and thats been the mantra all season; take points from teams around us.

Maintains unbeaten run which will only inspire confidence. 

Good start from our perspective but tailed off. Football is clearly better. All positive for time being.

I wonder what car crash is around the corner..

Agree with this and also McLean, who is looking comfortable. I'd still like to see Fjortoft given more of a chance but if it ain't broke, don't fix it, I guess.

We need to add a goalkeeper to avoid the obvious one, because otherwise we can count down the points and games until a 7th place finish and this season is done with.

[Nornirontons 21]

McAllister was the glue in second half for me...what your looking for from Reece is to get on the ball and Ayr didn't allow him to get on the ball at all imho...he pressed and made numerous telling passes in the first half but that possession of the ball and those passes were not there in the second imho...I feel like vikington atm...but I can only say what I saw!

Eta

And we should've had a penalty!

We could definitely still sneak 4th this season. Very little between is and the teams around us. Not having a manager does not seem to be hindering us, yet. 

[Madton 249]

Away to Alloa and home to Arbroath next, really need to be looking at 6 points and if we get that, we can put to bed any thoughts of relegation and really go for a top 4 finish.
