Match Preview/Thread - Montrose vs Morton (Championship Playoff Semi Finals 8th/11th May)

[ChampTon]

Not been his biggest fan since returning but I feel like Millar has been a pivotal figure so far tonight.

That number 23 with the bowlcut, his head's gone, hope Midge gets him sent off.

Great minds. He's being a right pest (in a good way).

[TRVMP]

McGinn's been poor (not just in this game, just in general) but for me that was a harsh booking for him.

That number 10 of theirs has been a right handful (and a prick) for the whole game, not surprised at that. But we're still in a decent position overall. I think Gus underestimated him, sadly, and he's not being properly marked. But Strapp was turned far too easily to allow that cross in.

[ChampTon]

Didn't think Strapp was great on Saturday either. Not suggesting he's not up for it but I have a strong feeling he's away if we stay up or not for a pittance. 

[TRVMP]

Oliver has been a revelation so far. (By the standards of the season, at least.)

[ChampTon]

Who's idea was it to perform a long throw in our own half with 80% of the team in the other? Ridiculous call. 

[TheGoon]

Quick start spooked Montrose a bit I think, looked a lot more comfortable as they settled. I’d still hand the advantage to them just because we’re mince, but we’re not completely out of it yet as I assumed would be the case with that lineup. 

[AyrshireTon]

Since they scored we've reverted to "dreadful".

[TaunTon]

Well the drunken tombola line up has performed better than anticipated for the first 25 mins. Miller looking steady and professional and he's made a difference. last 20 mins we've gone into our shell and handed the initiative to Montrose who've deserved their goal.

Need to get back on the horse and show some blood and thunder in the next 45. More effort, energy and intensity required.

[TRVMP]

I can see us nicking this with a scrappy set-piece goal.

[ChampTon]

I'm presuming away goals don't count if it finishes 3 each? 

Never mind, my maths is way off there. Nerves eh..

If it finished 3 each, we would have the same away goals so it wouldn't matter.

But no, away goals don't count.

Aye, no idea what I was thinking there. 

[TRVMP]

Looking a bit more comfortable now.

Muirhead fuck SAAAAAAAAAAAKE learn to strike a football pal

If anyone cares, it’s just dawned on me that McGinn and McGinty are former team mates at Sheffield United.

This is great content.

The plan here is to wait and see if Montrose score before making subs isn't it? Admittedly they aren't threatening us right now, but for all our possession over the last 10 minutes we're creating nothing either.

[ChampTon]

Actually thought Blues wasn't too bad, not got the most ability but put a decent shift in.
