Ayr United boss Lee Bullen keeps feet on ground as Honest Men go top of Championship

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Lee Bullen watched Ayr go top of the Championship at Cove - then predicted their journey to the top is only just beginning.United were imperious as they dominated at the Balmoral Stadium and maintained their unbeaten start to the league season.The win sent The Honest Men to the summit but Bullen insists nobody at Somerset will be getting carried away by their early exploits.He said: "We are three points closer to safety - three points closer to the 40 point mark."We will reassess as things go along.

But people have to remember we are a football club who has spent 11 of the last 18 seasons in the league below."So we've got to understand where we are.

We are on the beginning of a journey with the chairman, Graeme Mathie myself and a lot of new players."Our feet are firmly planted and we know where we want to go."Ayr should have been out of sight long before Ben Dempsey's penalty and Dipo Akinyemi's fourth of the season put them in control after half time.A consolation Jamie Masson penalty deep into stoppage time took the gloss off the scoreline, but there was no hiding United's dominance against a Cove side who hadn't lost a league game at Balmoor in 15 months.

Bullen said: "We could have been four or five up and were missing gilt edged chances."But that was due to our fantastic play, particularly in the first half when I thought we were outstanding."We got our just rewards with the two goals and the only disappointment is we didn't score more and couldn't get the clean sheet."The fans were absolutely outstanding and the lads really fed off them.
