Mr.Blue Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Probably a little premature considering we are in the playoffs but the way we are playing I'm going to assume we will be in the championship next season. Having a think about positions that need strengthening and potential targets so here's my thought: goalkeeper - I'd like to see us enquiries about Alan Martin of Dumbarton. Good shotstopper and seems to command his area well. Rb- Doyle cb- O'Ware (if he stays) Cb- new/kilday lb- Lamie/Russell/strapp rm- forbes cm- murdoch (would love to sign him on for another year) cm- tidser lm- new cf- oliver cf- quitongo/ Thomson Can't think if I've missed anyone? Think we really need a better player than kilday at centre half. Gunning would be ideal but he won't be back. Prior to the last 8 games I'd have said the midfield was fine but I'm forbes should have been dropped during this period so I'd like another option for right mid. In the middle I'd love to have murdoch, lindsay and Tidser here next season but doubt they'll all be here. I also think we could be doing with another ball winning centre mid in the squad. Can't see Nisbet coming back either so assume well be looking for a left mid. Thomson has played there for Dumbarton but not sure where his best position is. Up front we'll have Oliver, quitongo and Thomson. Hopefully Kudus and shanks are away and we can bring another striker in. Scullion should be released as well. The boy has talent but needs to move to develop his career. I don't have much knowledge of the development squad so there may be guys in there ready to step up like Quitongo last season? There's a storm on the horizon And for that I can't see the sun For I'll keep a waiting on the pavement For the ice cream van to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Kilday is a better defender than O'Ware. The site is supposed to be a place for the extended 'family' of Morton supporters - having an affinity with people that you don't know, because you share a love of your local football club. It's not supposed to be about point scoring and showing how 'clever' or 'funny' you are, or just being downright rude and offensive to people you don't know, because you can get away with it. Unfortunately, it seems the classic case of people who have little standing/presence in real life, use this forum as a way of making themselves feel as if they are something. It's sad, and I've said that before.. So, having been on Morton forums for about 15 years I guess, I've had enough... well done t*ssers, another Morton supporter driven away. You can all feel happy at how 'clever' you are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Blue Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 Kilday is a better defender than O'Ware. Think so? Id say O'Ware has been our best defender this season.

Scott Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Kilday is a better defender than O'Ware. I have far more confidence in O'Ware than Kilday. I think Kilday is a good player but there's weaknesses, same with O'Ware but I think he's better overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Think so? Id say O'Ware has been our best defender this season. Gunning has been our best defender this season and Kilday has been our second best. These are facts.

vikingTON Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 League goals conceded per match prior to today: O'Ware: 1.088 Kilday: 1.05 Sir Gavin 0.9 None of them are bad (nor is Lamie IMO) but only two are Bonuccis and O'Ware isn't one of them.

LargsTON Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Gunning has been our best defender this season and Kilday has been our second best. These are facts. No. They're an opinion. O'Ware has shown far more consistency and performed to a higher standard than Kilday all season. Not to mention his goals.

vikingTON Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 You obviously weren't at game today at fault at 2nd and third Nobody cares about a dead rubber match.

Mr Toon Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Statistics are facts but not facts that tell the whole story. O'Ware has been much more consistent than Kilday this season and has hardly missed a game. When you add in his goals scored he has been much more valuable to the team.

Top Ton Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Have have to agree with you about the front 3 kudos, Shankland and Scullion if they are released it would free up wages to bring someone, As for the development squad Mitchell at cb has been consistent all season, he was on the bench today and will be a good prospect for the future, if Kilday is carry an injury wouldn't it have made sense to put the boy on at some stage today as there's was nothing to play for and give a tast of first team football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireTon Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I've got that fear that if we don't go up, we will repeat the season we had after the last time we just missed promotion. Also got the fear that the skunks are going up next season. 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.

gmfc23 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 We need a new goal keeper,center half,2 center mids,winger and a new striker to add to the squad as a minimum you could add 2 or 3 loans aswell. With lindsay nesbitt shankland kudus scullion and donelly leaving as well as murdoch maybe (would love to see him stay though) we really should be sounding players out now about wanting to sign. Duffy has a big job on his hands this summer in saying that if we lose next week and bounce out the playoffs at the first hurdle then thats 10/11 games without a win maybe it would be time to think about changing him aswell rather than wait untill sept/oct time.

Doyle has been our most consistent performer throughout the whole season i.e. not good enough. Cannot understand the admiration for him other than him obviously being a nice guy.
