Well it’s taken me two weeks but I’m seriously concerned about Gary Caldwell’s view of both games. The truth is that Ayr were stronger, more aggressive and more dangerous team. They absolutely deserved their victory today. They continued to hurt us in dangerous areas. Shankland could have got in five times had we not defended the one twos by the skin of our teeth. We’re playing football in areas that teams can easily defend. We play a series of intricate passes on the wing that invariably break down and on the rare occasion a player gets free we don’t have the quality to cross. And if we do get a ball in there’s no one in the middle to bully defenders to score from those sorts of crosses. It’s such a shit way of playing no wonder we don’t score goals.
Then at the other end we get caught in possession and gift goals.
Were relegation fodder I genuinely don’t think we would have the fight against any team in this league. So how Statto and Caldwell can see this as positive truly amazes me.
At least Archie would have said today wasn’t good enough. Gutted.
