I agree Sonny.

It will always be Love Street for me as well.

We were by far the better team yesterday in all bar the first 10-15mins of the second half.

We looked in control, played better football, had some lovely interchanges of play, typified by the move that led to the penalty, and really should have taken 3 points.

It is easy to see how Ayr have the points on the board already with their compact style and ability to soak up pressure and then make the most of a few chances.

Sadly we still seem unable to avoid basic mistakes at the back and therefore we have to be far more clinical up front (harking back to Tom Hendrie's 'we'll just score one more than them' promotion season).

That said whilst I accept it was 2 points dropped, that's three league games without a defeat, 7 points from 9, sustained progress in terms of performance (from middle to front) and all together there is much more positivity around the place than there was 2-3weeks ago.

If JR can sort out the frailties at the back, we are onto something. If we perform like that every week from here on in we should be fine. Sadly the fact Ayr, Dumbarton and Dunfermline all have the points on the board makes things a lot more challenging but if the same effort and application can be maintained, we'll get there...

A slightly more positive take would be that we really should win on the basis of the first half performance.

Ayr look reasonable on the break, but bar our defence switching off (resulting in the above best chance/bad miss for Ayr) they are not offering much more than that.

We are on top and need to put the game to bed with a goal.

Morgan the stand out player so far for me.

I appreciate being bottom of the second tier of Scottish football puts us in a poor negotiating position, but can we not propose a deal with slightly less cash (with the same benefits for kits for various teams within the club) with the following caveats:
1. A contractual agreement re: release date of replica strips
2. The ability to sell replica strips etc in the club shop
This would keep both sides happy...those who see the financial benefits and those who have been sorely let down by the abysmal customer service...
Win-win for all?

Just in and saw the result...

Yes, yes, yes...COYS!

Season turns here???

It's sad though that we were debating that in the Premier league not too long ago with reference to our current league...

You'll not hear me disagreeing with you on any of that...
Sadly it is all about how we turn things around from where we are now. We're huffing and puffing with no end product on the evidence of tonight.
As I've said above, my first thought from what I've seen there is that I'd have Morgan on the right and McAllister on the left as proper wingers and Sutton up top with only job being putting the ball in net.
The highlights at the end there had the significant majority of chances for us. Sadly in between, in open play Dunfermline always looked more dangerous. I think we really are too light weight and missing perhaps two strong players at centre half and central midfield - to shore up the defence and provide a bit of steel to let the youngsters play in the middle of the park respectively.
Perhaps I'm being too positive, the league table doesn't lie, but that's the first things that I would do to try and sort...

Clarke refused a hand shake...who knows why...

Regardless all round we must do better. There are some talented young guys in that team, just missing the right older heads to guide them. Ideally a stronger and older centre half and central midfielder would go a long way on that performance. The league table is painful to see...

Hard to disagree, but watching on Alba (having not seen many games this season) the young boys on the wing are doing well. If we keep Sutton up top and on the end of crosses we have a chance. That said we are very shaky at the back...

Mallan lacking confidence. Missing the influence of someone like Goodwin doing the dirty work to let him play.

Sutton easily winning balls in the box. Get it wide and get balls into him. Simple as that...

Hopeless marking when the ball came back in...

Was a bit more than a half chance TC good move, good movement but was just missing the quality on the header at the end...
