JimJam Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 My take is that McAlister probably isn't captain material. He'd be far better concentrating on his own game without that distraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcintyre_gmfc Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Give the armband to Millar, he deserves it, and leads by example with his performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Bauer Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Including the Players, Management Team and Sock Washers... I would keep Millar and Telfer JB. Power To The Powerless, Strength Unto The Weak! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcintyre_gmfc Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 For me, Telfer would be one of the first out, I’d imagine he would be on a decent wage, and is a waste of a jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, was surprised that Millar wasn't made captain.

Mr Toon Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Yes, was surprised that Millar wasn't made captain. I have no issue with McAlister as captain although I would be equally happy with Millar. My issue is McAlister's position where although he puts in a power of work it doesn't play to his strengths. We are crying out for a right back strong in defence and attack with a good final ball and we have a surplus of midfielders. Get Jim to right back and we are a better team all round.

EanieMeany Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Where exactly does this McAlister as right back thing come from? What's he done to suggest he's at all capable of playing there these days? AWMSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmfc23 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Well he's not a center mid he's played right wing/back before plenty of energy so it could happen. He's just never a center mid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Well he's not a center mid he's played right wing/back before plenty of energy so it could happen. He's just never a center mid. Agreed. He's not been a big influence in the middle of the park but was always solid defensively when played as a wing back earlier in his career. He's a short term solution to either Tumilty or Iredale/McKeown IMO. Peter Weatherson is the greatest player since Ritchie, and should be assigned 'chairman for life' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Aitken's Love Child Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 McAlister has not played as a wing-back/wide midfielder since he left us in 2010,other then a game or 2 for Hamilton. He's a central midfielder, and one that's not been making a positive enough impact to merit a regular starting spot. I'd be more than happy to see him dropped to the bench, and for Millar to slot into the holding role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be more than happy to see him dropped to the bench, and for Millar to slot into the holding role. I don’t believe he ever played as a holding midfielder before this season. Dundee converted him to a midfielder for his stamina to run back and forward for 90 minutes, not anchor the midfield in front of the defence. Presumably.

port-ton Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I thought Millar played the defensive midfield role for St Johnstone so I've found it a bit weird all season that Mcalister has played that role while Millar has been playing everywhere from left midfield to right wing at times. Good people will do good things, bad people will do bad things, but only with religion do good people do bad things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, a range of passing would be handy in that position. Instead we’ve got a quality range of pointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said it a million times but I'm amazed Jim made it at a higher level for a player with such limited attributes. He's not particularly good at anything.

He's not particularly good at anything. By the time he left he didn't look like a player who was just to good not to be at a higher level, he just looked like a player we were well rid off. A glorified Mark Russell, if you will. He certainly had his moments first time round but over the piece his contribution wasn't really at that great. He was part of multiple failures and quite frankly, 300 games for the club flatters him. AWMSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRVMP Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Almost 100 games in the top flight and then an ever-present run at Blackpool until his injury. If he had nothing about him, wouldn't someone have noticed before that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joebananas Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Can we stop trying to shoehorn McAlister into different positions? He’s not very good in any of them and shouldn’t be in our starting 11. Running about like a headless chicken, pointing, shouting and always looking raging only gets you so far.

If he had nothing about him, wouldn't someone have noticed before that? Exactly. I've asked myself the same thing numerous times. Either way he's not good enough for Morton just now and that's all that matters. "CORNBEEF IS A BELLEND" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamOakTree Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 A few of you guys are very harsh on Jimbo, and I don’t understand your motivation for wanting to discredit a very good Morton player. I’m not claiming he was aTon Legend or anything like that but he certainly played a big part in successful promotion challenges. I find it quite sad that some Ton fans choose to use this forum as a platform to slate one of our better players from the last couple of uninspiring decades. What motivates you guys to want to discredit some of our better performers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
