The boss was in no doubt where Ayr’s problems lay after today’s reverse in Fife
Scott Brown warned Ayr must cut out their mistakes after leaving Dunfermline empty handed.
Two goals in three minutes at the end of the first half saw United beaten in Fife. And Brown pulled no punches with his post mortem, telling his players they will be put through two weeks of hard graft on the training pitch before their next game in Inverness.
After goals from Chris Hamilton and Chris Kane gave the Pars the victory, the manager claimed that Ayr was losing too many games due to individual mistakes.
Brown stated: “We’ve made two more mistakes today that have cost us, and we’re currently causing a lot of problems for ourselves with individual errors in every game, so we need to make some important decisions.” The next game isn’t for another two weeks, so we need to start prioritising keeping clean sheets. We must have players who think they can keep a clean sheet and start winning games 1-0.
“We have lost two, two, three, and two goals in our last few games. We are currently losing games because someone is currently making mistakes every time. I wouldn’t say that there was too much between the teams today; sometimes, it comes down to individual mistakes that cost us and who wants it that little bit more. They handled the conditions better than we did, even on a horrible pitch.
“The boys just need to develop their mental toughness. In training sessions, four or five minutes is OK, but putting in ninety-six or seventy-seven minutes is a matter of motivation and mindset. These past several weeks have not only seen one or two mistakes, but four or five as well we have to stop them. The two weeks we have until the next game will be a really good thing for us on that training pitch.”
