From next week, I'd replace Oliver with Wilson as I don't think we'd be losing much going forward anyway.

Mortonbug Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 What an absolute joy it is to be a Morton fan at the moment, cause to feel optimistic again. Genuinely couldn't see light at end of the tunnel after that kicking from Inverness in December and all the negative garbage under Gus. That was crackin. Absolutely loved the way we turned that around, in spite of that piss poor referee. Fans and players feel united since Sir Dougie came in. Atmosphere was absolutely crackling at the final whistle. Bring on the Accies at the FOY next week. Yasss!

DumfriesTon Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Brandon was very effective when he went into the middle of the park. I'd give it to Ugwu or McEntee though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the thinking to have Oliver against that muck, but we need someone to drop back and screen the defence when we lose the ball instead. It made that game far more difficult that it should have been. 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.

Doddie Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 I thought Wilson was good when he came on but we did lose our shape a wee bit when Lyon went off. Sir Dougie fixed it by moving Brandon into midfield and thought he was class in there too. Thought Oliver had a poor game in comparison to his recent performances. At least we have options now on the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Brandon has been a decent signing. Impressed Imrie noticed RB was an issue the minute he was in the door and signed a good quality RB for this level so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madton Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Really starting to wonder where we would be had Gus gone a month or two earlier, especially with Raith and Inverness falling off a cliff. The most impressive thing for me is we are really controlling games, taking the game to our opponents, creating loads of chances and not giving much away at the back. It's not like we have been lucky in any of Dougie's games. If anything I'm a bit gutted it's not 5 straight wins as we battered Raith. With Gus, we were lucky to be in games, Hamilton was keeping us in games and we were scraping the odd draw or rare win. Was a bit disappointed with the crowd today, expected more but it was a miserable day this morning so perhaps some decided to stay at home. Surely we can get back up to 1700-1800 soon if we continue this form. Wonder how many watch the stream? Great to see manager players and fans celebrating together at the end, can't remember the last time a manager was over at the cowshed applauding us( I remember Davie Irons doing it after getting a first win in 9 attempts) No reason why we can't go to Hamilton and win next week either.

The big, bad, boo boys have taken the utter nonsense argument that Morton couldn't possibly do better than *insert Scottish football dinosaur manager here*, since 2007 at the latest. Which was being dredged up after we got rid of that gormless tit McPherson. Sir Douglas Imrie's appointment has obliterated that argument for all time. The happy-clapper brigade need to suck up the fact that we can in fact expect better as a proud football club - which means abandoning their bizarre wagon-circling mentality around whatever gormless tit is in charge. They have been proven categorically wrong. That is a learning experience.

vikingTON Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Reality check: If we had (continued) to follow the very convenient 'give Gus more time/it's not the manager's fault' narrative while just outside the relegation spots in early December, then we'd be bottom of the league by a comfortable margin by now. Only the greater standards of the Morton fanbase has stopped this proud football club following the same tracks as Queen of the South and their gubbins manager today. You're welcome.

HamCam Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I don't think we played as well as we could yesterday but at no point did the players stop believing. While we dominated the first-half the midfield never really got going. Despite a poor start to the second-half it was still a surprise when QoS went up and scored. We responded but still struggled to create too many clear-cut chances - good to see though the team and the fans never panicked. Eventually QoS's luck ran out and the eruption of joy at the second goal was everything about what makes watching Morton and football, in general, worthwhile. The positive change in the squad and fan dynamic was also evident at full-time all led by the manager Dougie Imrie. After the doom and gloom under McPherson, what a pleasure it is looking forward to watching Morton again. We may not win every game but at least we now believe the team are taking to the park looking to win every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChampTon Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Couldn't make it yesterday due to work commitments but I cannot fucking wait for Hamilton next week. I know it goes towards their gate but we should really be looking to travel with a good 500 away fans. The boys deserve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
