Cowshed Chris Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 More to do with the fact of being one goal down having managed to win only 1 of the previous 10 games. Also, there is only one team that we have managed to score more than one goal in a game against since the beginning of November. Can't remotely blame folk for getting frustrated at being behind again, especially with such a cheap and avoidable goal. TRUST THE DUFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't think "not losing" is enough to earn Johansson breathing space at this point. AWMSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
port-ton Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 The manager should absolutely not be given any leeway every time we lose a goal to absolutely calamitous defending, given how often it has happened under his stewardship. It happens so often that even on the very rare occasion where we are playing decently in a match we still make it extremely difficult for us to win games. He can't physically stop Kilday sliding someone from behind in the box with no sight of the ball, Waddell slicing a ball in to his own net or Buchanan being Buchanan, but it's all a by-product of his shambolic reign as manager. He should be hounded at every possible opportunity until the day he never darkens this club's doorstep again.

Hej Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Our defence isn't the main problem, it's the lack of goals and creativity. Only 28 scored in 30 games, the worst in the league. Extremely poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extremely poor. Our manager pointed out the need for more pace in attacking areas and waited until the final week of the transfer window as he's extremely picky when it comes to signings and only wanted players who would improve us. Fast forward to April and we've basically played the same team as we did pre signings the whole time since the window shut.

TRVMP Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 http://youtu.be/7nOFoE7zsio They were 100% and absolutely there for the taking, but Buchanan losing his man for that dipping cross at the end was criminal and they could easily have scored the winner. Draw probably fairest in light of the fact that we were careless and Ayr were generally hopeless. Have to say that Gary Oliver looked quite lively but still can't score goals. ZERO this season, including in the cups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonFan Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Have to say that Gary Oliver looked quite lively but still can't score goals. ZERO this season, including in the cups. He scored the first when we beat Partick 5-1. Obviously not good enough but just pointing out that he has scored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireTon Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 He scored the first when we beat Partick 5-1. Obviously not good enough but just pointing out that he has scored. He also scored our goal at Dumbarton in the diddy cup. 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.

TONofmemories Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Cringe but surely understandable given recent results? Not when its the best weve played in a while and came against the run of play.

Wanting him out and making your views heard is absolutely spot on. 20 odd mins into a game when the team are performing well is totally counterproductive. 20.1.09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

vikingTON Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Staying in the league when it is clear that the manager won't be sacked before the end of the season? What do you think is going to be the plan for next season at this level: beat Brechin's record-low points total by scraping draws with Arbroath? Our league status for next season isn't even remotely the most important thing on our agenda right now. It might be what Iron Man cares about but for the rest of us getting a board that has a credible plan and sense of direction, tied with a manager who isn't a useless and gutless s***ebag to play ambitious football for a change are what we actually need to secure right now. If Morton somehow went down from this position then I'd treat it with complete indifference.

El gofer Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 So you don't think staying in this league is important then? Are you coming from a position that we need to bottom out before real change will take place? That scenario scares the bejeesus out of me. I would rather not get relegated. A number of the scenarios are what ifs and mibbys. 20.1.09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El gofer Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 To be clear, with 4 crucial games coming up in 2 weeks, unless we have someone ready to bring in, we will have Anderson and Sutton for poss 2 games if we sack him now. 20.1.09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
