What about the rest of our much maligned defence?

Under a lot of pressure in the later stages, but cleared their lines. Napping for their goal but looked solid and dug everything out.

McGhee needs some support, there's no-one backing him up.
Hayes playing it forward, Bell being forced to do it all alone, now forward from Marr, here's Ritchie, still Andy Ritchie, look at the control...

That is a marvellous goal from Andy Ritchie. Twenty minutes on the clock and Morton's supporters come alive. A goal which epitomises the control, the arrogance, the cheek of Andy Ritchie.

Poor start to the game and one touch clearences without any thought just kept putting us back under pressure. An out of shape defensive line meant a simple ball though the gap between Strapp and McGinty put it on a plate for them.

 

We improved a bit after the goal and ours was scrappy. Much better in the second half though and pressured them into mistakes all over the park. Wasn't the best of football but we were the better team.

 

Agree that Rodgers had a good game in goal too and settled us down quite a bit towards the end.

Well worth the trip tonight.

 

Felt everyone put in a shift and got us a great result.

 

Luca Col worth a mention keeps plugging away with those long legs and pity Orsi didn't apply the finish to our best move.

 

McGinty surely can't keep missing those opportunities.

 

Feel Cadden has not been at his best recently but cool head to finish get some of the trust's money in his account for next season.

Without getting carried away, you have to give the players some credit for digging in and earning points.

 

While Saturday’s capitulation was really poor to snatch a draw from the jaws of victory, since the start of the year they have come from behind to win against Dunfermline, come from behind to draw with QOS, again from behind on Saturday to go ahead against Alloa (although they shat it in the last five minutes) and again from behind to win last night.

 

Now, it can be credibly argued that they should not have been behind at all in any of these games and, to an extent, were the authors of their own misfortune in that respect. However, it would have been easy enough for the heads to have gone down and to have lost all of these games as a result.

If this 3 year plan to improve year on year and maybe achieve something is true, then Cadden should be signed up as an immediate priority. 

 

I presume that he has been offered an improved contract - along with the others we've tied up/have intentions of tying up - and is maybe holding out. 

 

Offer him what he wants and get it done. 

TIME FOR CHANGE!

Another idiot.

Fans are entitled to complain you know.

Aye, there's been games where he's made pretty questionable decisions so he can't just have free reign and not expect criticism. There's also been a few dodgy transfers as well he's responsible for.

Even if offered a good deal, Cadden would be off his nut to accept it. He’ll get offers higher up the food chain than us so will quite rightly hold out until the summer.

 

We’ll offer him a deal in order that we get compensation, but we can forget about keeping him. We’re as well just enjoying him while we can.

That was a massive and well deserved win. We were at a point where the unbeaten run wasn't really worth much, because winless in four was doing more damage than undefeated in six was doing us good, if that makes sense. We were dropping too many points in winnable games and with three away games in eight days that had the potential to turn into a much longer winless run and leave us in serious trouble wondering how we could get out of a rut.

 

In those circumstances, going there and finally putting Ayr back in their box was excellent. A poor start and their goal was coming, but once we got level we matched them and went on to be the much better side in the second half. Cadden was imperious and destroyed Harvie all night. Rogers was solid and despite their late pressure, it could easily have ended up 3-1 with the chances we had on the break.

 

If we can go and win at Palmerston on Saturday then we'd be in a position where it'd take a total collapse to relegate us. One game at a time and everything, but realistically 43 points is going to see us safe - to get to that it's a point a game for the rest of the season. That's completely doable and from this position we should be aiming for beating last season's point total.
