TRVMP Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 11 hours ago, Cet Homme Charmant said: The transformation in this guy since Dougie took over has been nothing short of astonishing. Full credit to the both of them. Ten league goals this season, a very respectable return, particularly since he doesn't take the penalties and he doesn't always play as number 9.

It has been a great season for him. One thing that I picked up from watching the mid season video is the way he celebrates the goals irrespective of who scores. He looks like a player who wants to be here. I only managed to get up for two games this season - Bonnyrigg and Queens Park last week. The difference in quality between the two performances was massive. Really looking forward to next season and hopefully getting up a bit more often. "I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig.

port-ton Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 A lot of times by the end of a Morton season I'm mentally drained and ready for it to be over but I'm gutted that this season is over already. Been a while since I looked forward to Saturdays as much as I have this season as I genuinely enjoy watching this team play whether it's the midfield pressing teams in to submission, Quitongo giving fullbacks nightmares, Oakley bullying defenders, Muirhead having his own goal of the season competition, our centrebacks heading every single ball that comes their way or Grimshaw being the most composed man in the stadium most weeks. Good people will do good things, bad people will do bad things, but only with religion do good people do bad things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Sir Douglas mentioned yet again in the post-match interview that 'a lot of people didn't want him here'. Well, that's undoubtedly true, but he's won over these doubters by vastly improving his consistency, effort and attitude in the last 18 months. He's now starting to fulfill the potential we only saw in glimpses before Sir Douglas' arrival. I wish he can just see that Robbie is now totally accepted, respected and appreciated by the vast majority of fans, and stop going on about the past.

This pretty much sums up my thoughts at the moment. Looking forward to next season and I guarantee Dougie will use Friday night and how it ended as motivation for himself and the boys next season. We have no reason to fear anyone in this league regardless of who comes down from the Premier league or up from league 1. The club should capitalise on the feelgood factor around at the moment and get season tickets and strips released ASAP.

I think he mentions it to prove the point that Robbie has progressed and by how much. Same could be said about Cammy Blues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great post. I can sum things up by saying I was over the disappointment almost instantaneously as I can see we're a club on the way up and everyone is pulling in the same direction.
