TRVMP 4046 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Per the match preview, Ayr have just one win in 11 games, but punted Mark Kerr, so who even knows at this point? A win here will give us some much-needed breathing room but I hesitate to call it must-win. It's definitely a must-not-lose, though.

Renfrew 14 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 8th vs 9th, no manager for both teams.... 0-0 or a 10 goal thriller here, no inbetween Link to post Share on other sites
RealTonKid 141 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Three points is all that matters today. I don’t care how we get them, as long as we get them. Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie_M 1119 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) No changes to the starting lineup. Only change is Millar replacing the injured Orsi on the bench. Â Edited March 6 by Jamie_M Link to post Share on other sites
RealTonKid 141 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Why did we sign Sterling and Johnson? Also, what are Fjortoft and Lyon doing (or not doing) in training? 🤷‍♂️ 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie_M 1119 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 This is clearly McElhone's preferred lineup. Can't be many times this season we've had the same lineup 3 games in a row. Link to post Share on other sites
so72 22 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) Have they not registered Butler or something? Edited March 6 by so72 Link to post Share on other sites
TheGoon 668 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Not making changes there is concerning. I’d have brought in at least a couple of Lyon, Fjortoft, Oliver & Sterling. Can’t really understand why we’d persist with Salkeld. The exact same problems are going to arise. Link to post Share on other sites
dunning1874 1532 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I reckon McElhone's approach just now is akin to the final days of John McCormack in charge. He doesn't know what his best team is, he's not identifying problems in performances and trying to address them with changes, he's just stumbling onto different line-ups and he'll persist with an XI until a defeat, at which point he'll change again. We haven't lost in the last two, so he's persisting with it despite the glaring weaknesses of Salkeld's inability to hold the ball up and Blues. We have had improved performances with Jacobs back in, so hopefully another performance on that level is enough today. 1 Brian Wake my Lord, Brian Wake Brian Wake my Lord, Brian Wake Brian Wake my Lord, Brian Wake Oh Lord, Brian Wake  Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Blue 233 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Shambles of a starting line up. There's a storm on the horizon And for that I can't see the sun For I'll keep a waiting on the pavement For the ice cream van to come Link to post Share on other sites
EanieMeany 1032 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Signing a keeper who told us himself on day one that he wasn’t ready to play is utterly farcical. 2 AWMSC Link to post Share on other sites
TRVMP 4046 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Our three winter window signings have spent a combined total of 40 minutes on the pitch this season. Coincidentally, the football has spent around 40 seconds on the pitch in this game, the rest of the time being launched into orbit by various center backs. In fairness, as I typed that we started a really good attacking move down the left. Amazing what happens with some close, first-touch passing and running with the ball. So much more effective than hoofing it. The stadium was just resting in my account Link to post Share on other sites

Surely in an emergency of McAdams getting injured or sent off during a game, having a goalkeeper who isn't fully match fit on the bench is less of a risk than having to put Muirhead or whoever in goal?

AyrshireTon 456 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Alloa 1-0 up. McGhee needs some support, there's no-one backing him up. Hayes playing it forward, Bell being forced to do it all alone, now forward from Marr, here's Ritchie, still Andy Ritchie, look at the control... That is a marvellous goal from Andy Ritchie. Twenty minutes on the clock and Morton's supporters come alive. A goal which epitomises the control, the arrogance, the cheek of Andy Ritchie. Link to post Share on other sites
TRVMP 4046 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Just now, bigB said: A waste of MCT money. In football as in life, it's profligates who complain constantly about how poor they are. The Morton BoD never shuts up about how they're in real financial bother and everyone needs to dig deep, but then they always seem to have a spare bob or two to sign some pointless regen. Funny, that. Anyway, Ayr's right-back looks like a deer in headlights every time the ball comes near him. More runs down the left, please.
