GIBBYTON Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 We deserved to be bottom of the league when Gus left, this has been a complete turnaround. Positioning has been excellent, the midfield hasn't collapsed like it normally did. The effort and tempo has been excellent and preassure when not in possession. Special shout for Blues and Reilly who rightly got some stick at points this year, we're both excellent. As well as Lyons, thought he was excellent a little deeper, some great passing and energy. Long may it continue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaunTon Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 All Hail Dougie and his band of new born Galacticos. A bit of pride for the first time in weeks. Happy days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubes Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Out-fucking-standing Dougie trying to repair the disconnect with the fans is brilliant to see aswell. Dispatch these Ayrshire bumpkins next week please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
port-ton Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Proud to be a Morton fan today. A feeling Id almost forgotten. Well done to the players and the manager. Couldn't have asked for anything more. Good people will do good things, bad people will do bad things, but only with religion do good people do bad things!

RossMcC1874 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 What a performance and the atmosphere round the club is starting to really become a lot better as well. What an impact Dougie has had we were pressing them and not giving them a minute. Massive 3 points and 5 goals what an earth is happening. Capnou right enough. Bring on the Ayr.

TheGoon Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Unreal. Honestly struggling to stop smiling and I only watched it on the laptop. Every player was superb, but special shoutouts to Reilly, Blues & Lyon who I thought put in their best performances in god knows how long. The workrate was incredible and there was a genuine desire there to go out and score more goals, rather than be content at nicking a win. Don’t want to get too far ahead of ourselves (although it is difficult!) but if we can even get close to replicating that kind of performance over the remaining games, we should have enough to save ourselves. Cheers Dougie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM48 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 So much to try and take in from that. In amongst it all 5 goals without Gozie scoring and a clean sheet with no McIntee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamCam Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Just been scraped off the ceiling. I think I may be suffering from a delusional episode as I could swear I just saw Morton win 5-0. It just confirms what many of us thought - we were not that bad a squad, we were just badly managed. Is it too late for Dougie to get a mention in the new Year's Honours?

Aye ive always thought that he should be played in a role that gives him licence to get in the box as he's the best we have at arriving from midfield and getting a goal. Lyon playing the deeper of everyone seemed to work well today. First time I've seen us in a while where the team had a plan and seemed to know what everyone was doing. Dunfermline were awful but usually even if we defend well its usually blocks from our defenders being out of position but we defended excellently as a team from front to back.

They're not that wrong, tbh. Which is, of course, not a criticism of Morton at all. Taking chances is a hugely important part of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madton Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 1 win in 19 at Cappielow before today, we needed that and to do it in that manner was incredible. 4 weeks ago we were ripped a new one by Inverness, what a turnaround and huge credit to Dougie for installing that belief in the players. Players were full of energy, aggressive and had purpose in what they were trying to do. Night and day under Gus and hoofball. That result would simply not have happened under Gus. We took the lead a few times under him against Dunfermline, Arbroath, Raith and Ayr and failed to win any of them, delighted to see us kick on and see the game out so easily. Huge credit to Blues who has been in and out and has had his fair share of criticism. Worked his arse off and was really effective. Hynes is limited in what he offers but what a ball in for the 3rd. Back 3 strolled it and gave very little away too. Great to see a bit of interaction with the fans at the end, even if it was a bit forced, over time I'm sure they will realise that 99% of fans are right behind them and that interaction can become genuine. Couple of players in over the next week or two and no reason why we can't kick on and have a comfortable end to the season. Go scud Ayr next week now.
