Ayr United manager Scott Brown has eyes on having the best possible squad to challenge for the title for the second half of the Scottish Championship season during the January transfer window. Ayr snuffed out Greenock Morton 0-0 last time out. Dominating the match at Somerset Park yet, unlike his side. Jordan had no goals to show for their efforts, and Scot Brown echoed his call for ‘a goalscorer.’
Recent Performance and Tactical Adjustments
Ayr United are looking good in the goal shots department. Easily outdoing Morton during their face-off with 15 total, but only three on target. This failure to convert chances would cost them as they could not capitalize to move to second place in the table. Scot Brown admitted it was at the back that they were of most comfort. But stressed the need for growth in the attacking third. We were easily the better side and the only one who looked like they were going to score… but that is scoring a goal,” said Scott Brown.
This Transfer Market Has Some Key Moves
Responding to the goal-scoring issue, Scot Brown stated that he was planning on bringing in a striker in January. The team has missed forward Anton Dowds (injured) and needs some more firepower. Scot Brown said: “Of course we’ll try and sign a striker in January. I think the public makes it clear that that’s what’s been missing. It is crucial for our plan,” emphasized Scott Brown.
