Certainly looked the  better side by far on the video.

We were and bear in mind that that footage was edited from an Ayr United perspective.

We look even better from Caley jags tv

Another decent and positive performance from us.  Good to see fine performances from players who have come in for a bit of stick this season.  Despite the criticism White has been getting from some quarters, I think he could become a really important player for us.  I thought he did well last week but he was even better yesterday. His work rate is excellent and he showed some great touches in build up play.  He gets himself in position to score which is why, despite some bad misses over the season, his goal tally is steadily rising.

Chalmers is another intelligent and underestimated player.  He was a bit more positive yesterday and that certainly benefited the team.  Doran also maybe had his best game of the season and was unlucky not to score.  It was good to see him taking defenders on and looking to shoot.  He put in a really good shift.  McHattie looks like a decent signing.

Game management was much better this week after we got into the lead.  Clearly Ayr had to push forward more  but we didn't sit deep yesterday and managed to limit the amount of ball they had.

We now need to get players back from suspension, injury and illness and ensure we make it through to the next round of the cup on Saturday.  We will need to be very professional to ensure we get through.  East Kilbride are on a decent run of form. Last weekend's results in the FA cup make it clear how easily upsets can occur with Barnet winning Away at Sheffield United - an away victory for a non-league side against Championship opposition.  We don't want that repeated North of the Border.

Beat Ayr at Somerset Park (assuming we beat Falkirk in the next league match) and I'll be even more impressed!

Sir Alex Ferguson has joined the forum ? 

Last weekends result was highly frustrating due to the nature of the results around us as well as throwing away the lead at home. This time we got the job done and most other results went our way. If we can get three wins from the next 3 games, the last few months will be full of interest.
