Who started up front? Was it Storey or Sutherland?

Didn't watch the game live but from the highlights Kai Kennedy looks a really exciting player. Cant wait to see more from him. Let's hope we can do a deal to keep him for the full season.

To be fair, he does deserve some credit for finding gems like Allardice, Deas etc and by showing faith in youngsters like Harper, Mackay and MacGregor, but he is susceptible to the absolutely ridiculous signings to, such as Danny Devine! As I said, surely there were better CB available than him, or even one of our youngsters, at least that way we can say, "he's young so mistakes should be tolerated, but hopefully he learns from it", or words to that effect :-).

What I will say is that I don't think John is a bad manager, I'm just thinking we need new direction.

 

i do agree with you regarding being "stronger" once injured players return vut but how far behind the play offs will we be by then?

Surely you peeps can understand that I want us back in with the big boys before too long otherwise I'd be happy to be mid table and happy with our current manager, so long as we didn't get relegated. I get that I'm public enemy number 1 at the minute, ive I've been putting up with that tag for years but my posts are because im I'm sick of failure to deliver when I know we're capable ;-). 

 

Hope that clears up any confusion and we can move on but I won't hold my breath hahahaha (note sarcasm lol).

Out of curiosity if we were to get rid of Robbo, which I personally dont think we should, who would you like to come in? 

Good looking team. Really pleased to see Sutherland up front. Deas for McKay and Welsh for Vincent and that possibly is our strongest line up. 

McHattie, Toshney and Storey are still out. What's the problem now with Welsh? 

Just watched the goals. Great finish from Allardice but the goal we conceded was shocking defending. Duffy looked really slow getting back then the least said about McKays attempt at a tackle the better. He would of been better fouling the guy and getting a yellow than pulling out of the tackle. Then I'm not sure what Deas was doing. If he stayed on his feet surely he would of cleared the ball. Not sure why he slides in and slides past the ball. 

I think a point in the current circumstances was a good one yesterday. The average age of our team that finished the game was 21 and a half. Mark Ridgers was our oldest player at 30. I've no idea but that may be the youngest team to have played a league game for ICT. The guys should get enormous credit for coming back and getting a point against a good and experienced Ayr team.

No Tom Walsh for Ayr. Not like him to be injured lol

As likely as Sean Welsh it seems! 

How does it look we are lining up? Is it a 352?

What's the problem with Sean Welsh? Injured yet again is he? 

Disappointing result but we have to remember that we were without Toshney, Carson, Doran, Storey, Sutherland and Kennedy. That's six players that if were fit would most likely of started today's game. With us not having the biggest squad that's a huge problem. Any team would struggle to be missing six key players. Obviously not a great way to start the season but let's hope some of these guys can be fit and we see a better result and performance next week.

On the assumption that Toshney, Carson, Doran, Kennedy, Storey and Sutherland are all missing tomorrow, this will be a tough opener. For what it’s worth, my suggested starting 11:

Ridgers

Duffy Devine Deas McHattie

Welsh Allardice

Mackay Keatings MacGregor

Todorov

Lets get off to a flyer guys and make our £12 donation to Dunfermline feel worth while. 

Yeah I'd agree with that starting 11. Would be nice to have Shane fit and starting up top. I reckon he would of finished some of the chances Todorov has missed in the last couple games. Any word how long he's out for?

It will be interesting to see who starts up front. Storey or Sutherland. Could be both I guess. Surprised to see Keatings on the bench. Anyone know if he is carrying a slight knock?

5. Miles Storey

Apparently we're looking at Wallace Duffy who signed for Greenock on loan from St Johnstone the other week and had his contract terminated due to "non football reasons"

Is he a right back?

Good to see our main man getting a double Miles obvs hopefully the pennies dropped and Robbo will actually play him in his proper position! 

Storey was listed as number 9 today. If this is his new squad number maybe Robbo has seen what you have in Miles Alan.

I heard that some people were linking Simon Murray with us but have just seen he signed for Queens Park at the start of the week. 

A Saints fan on P&B described Rooney's performance against Killie as a train wreck. He did play in a back 3 which would not suit him at all. His defending was always the problem. 

Robbo said he was still hoping to add a right back, is Devine that guy or could we see a more natural right back still come in. At the moment I guess we are looking at McKay or Devine playing there. Did Devine play right back when he was here before?

Entirely agree. With a very limited budget, there are other priorities.

Let's just hope Lewis Toshney can stay fit. His injury record isn't great. He looked really good in the couple games I saw him play last year though so fingers crossed  

Was looking back at the game and what a midfield we had. Tansey, Draper, Watkins, Doran and Christie. Player for player can't be beat it, can it? I dont think so

Maybe slightly harsh on one of our cup final heroes but absolutely agree on Stuart Morrison.

I've never heard of Stuart Morrison, who is he and why would he be such a good signing?

Its Dundee that are holding all this up supposedly and not us. According to Sky there is a technical question mark over the competence of Dundee's no vote. Partick along with ICT voted no.

Vincent 1 nil! 

Toshney off injured after 2 minutes.
