Accies v Ayr

Postby TerracingTomas » Thu Mar 16, 2023 8:50 am

With Arbroath facing Morton facing the night before we could go into this game with a real opportunity to open a gap on Arbroath. Ayr fans seem to be writing their season off already. Meanwhile will Mcgowan play or not. Our season could hinge on this one player.

As usual, all very quiet on this front. Might be tactical, however, not to let Ayr know the set-up?

Rankin said earlier this week that McGowan hadn't trained since the game he got injured so was very doubtful.

Rankins’ summary of the game

JR - performance today one of the poorest I’ve seen. We had a bit of energy in first 5-10 mins but thereafter it was as if there was no energy no enthusiasm to attack and play well. We had a leader back in McGowan but also missed Martin. But we weren’t good enough today

Normal service has been resumed. After all the recent half decent run, almost back to square 1.

Raith thrashing Cove is damaging to their goal difference, but just hope that Raith have got the goals out of their system, before the cup final

Desperately poor today. Not even one shot on goal. Martin's dig in midfield sorely missed. Powder Puff stuff.

But remember we actually witnessed a miracle today. Somehow the scoreline was only 2-0 to Ayr when it should have been 5 or 6-0. We barely looked like a good Div 1 team today. Like others, I'm back to be resigned to relegation.

Utterly dreadful,worst home performance of the season and that is what you get playing a weakened team.

I don't get Rankin or indeed the club's thinking here;today was far more important than next week and the chance to overtake Cove.

A true reflection of the score should have been a 4 or 5 goal win for Ayr United.

This lot need to realise we go down and we will never get back up with this regime.We will be like Airdrie spending years in The Seaside Leagues.

Back to the hoofball for 90 minutes. Next to no midfield and absolutely powderpuff up front. I think we only had the one shot and that a speculative one from 25+ yards.

If Ayr had scored five or six today I don’t think we could have complained.

We have 8 league games left! 8! Things need to drastically improve.

I wonder if that was the team that Rankin wanted to put out yesterday, or would he have been pressured by the board.

I would have thought the league would take priority over the diddy cup. Unless of course the board want to stick 2 fingers up to fans again and say "hey look we won a trophy" Think the club has pretty much resigned itself to the fact we are going down and the cup is their blaze of glory parting shot

I can’t imagine that even Mcgoofeys’ Board are that stupid that they don’t realise the financial difference between winning the Challenge Trophy and getting relegated to Division One. Mcgoofey won’t bankroll a full time playing squad if we are relegated and as he has cut back everything off the field from communications to announcer the only thing left is the squads wage bill. There is no young player coming through who is anywhere near sellable and even if there was we know the money would be added to his drug rehab unit stockpile. So whatever the reason for yesterday’s team selection I doubt it was the Board interfering.

Remember folks the Board have previous for interfering in team selection.The best example of this was that guy who played 45 minutes at Ibrox when Ronnie was in charge.

Nothing surprises me, although yesterday I feel it was Rankin resting guys for The Cup Final against what he perceived as a team on a downer after Monday night and it backfired spectacularly.

McGowan in central defence never looked fit either.

Other than De Bolle not starting, how was that a weakened team? Lucas has had some quiet games recently anyway.

As said by others, the lack of Scott Martin's dig in mid-field plus his 110% work-rate made it weaker than we could afford.
