JAG1970 Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 Thought Brownlie looked to be getting back to his best today, think he won everything in the air and Muirhead was strong too, contributing to Sneddon having not much to do. Turner seems to be on a run of form, Milne again causing opposition defences a problem (and helping partly fill the absence of Tiffoney), and Lawless again clever in his play. Thought Fitzpatrick was much better today. If we can do some business in January would be great to trade the likes of Smith, Mullen and Akinola for something better.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 That was an enjoyable game tho' it had a rather nail biting end. Our frailties were still obvious enough but an improved team effort with at least four very good individual performances. For once I think we were unlucky not to convert one or two of our chances as opposed to being guilty of squandering them. Two very good Ayr goals but Akinyemi shouldn't have been given so much space. He's the one Ayr player that warrants close marking at all times. Their second goal may look similar in terms of giving space to the player but I thought we were far less culpable with that one. Ayr midfielders give far more protection to their defence than we do to ours. That's not a criticism of our individual midfielders as such. Just that lack of dig in front of our back four and probably the prime reason we had that nail biting last ten minutes or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnkebab71 Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 Best performance in a long time. Milne was outstanding, absolutely love the guy. Pressure was on Fitzpatrick to put in a good performance and he finally put one in, hopefully gets a bit of confidence from that and kicks on. One of Banzos best performances of the season. Still not sure what McKinnon offers so would be keen for us to bring in another midfielder in January. Get a result on Friday and we can get our season back on track.

belfastjag Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) Cracking game. We owned the first nine minutes and then conceded. I thought here we go. Real character showed through. A few weeks ago we'd have lost that. Fitzpatrick was excellent. (Milne will go in the January window. Better teams than us must be looking at him.) Disappointing crowd.

Worth noting that Milne still has a year and a half on his contract- it would need to be an exceptional amount for us to sell him. We could in theory have him in a years time going into the January window with 6 months on his contract and have a healthy bidding war break out. Though I would love us to have persuaded him to sign an extension by then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aberdeenjag Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 Interesting to read from people that were at the game today that Brownlie and Fitzy put in good performances this week....they were both pretty average against Cove last week. The former was a bomb scare. Always thought both were decent players but for some reason were performing below par. Turned a corner when the rest of team step up maybe?

eljaggo Posted December 18, 2022 Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 (edited) First game back at Firhill since the pandemic. What a stotter! We could have scored another 2 or 3 goals before the break, but the commitment from all the players was outstanding. Two fantastic Ayr goals. Unfair to single out players for praise, but cannot argue with MOTM choice. Edited December 18, 2022 by eljaggo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawlty Towers Posted December 18, 2022 Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 Talking about attendances, we are second in this division. Hopefully in the second half of the season with a bit more positivity around the club we can get the average over 3,000. https://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/scottish-championship/attendances 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weebaw1 Posted December 18, 2022 Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 Nice to see a young player debuting. McKenzie looked fast, strong and skillful in the last 20. Where did he come from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

partickthedog Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 Remember when we used to sing “We all dream of a team of Brian Hodge Number 1 is Brian Hodge, Number 2 is Brian Hodge” etc Harry Milne is that good in every department of the game that while I would reserve Number 1 for the goal scoring threat that is Jamie Sneddon, I would happily have Harry playing all positions from Numbers 2 to 11 inclusive. He is even the best at interviews. In fact I think that he should go straight on to the Working Group as well! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
