Alibi Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I thought Jai was anonymous. Clearly nowhere near match fit. A fit Jai would have motored away from these defenders. Needs a bit longer to get fully fit by the look of it. Was a bit of a sluggish performance but got the job done. The young subs looked lively and we looked more energetic. Wilson is pretty good but has a tendency to pass backwards which breaks up our attacking pressure. Not a great game to watch and prefer when we press higher.

vikingTON Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Positives were progression of course, no injuries to key players (with some rested towards the end) and an hour for some players short of match fitness. The performance was quite disjointed though when I think if we had started with a couple fewer changes, we'd have produced a really convincing performance and scoreline. When we got decent service into the final third we always looked threatening to score, but for large periods we didn't use the ball well or didn't win it back effectively. The clean sheet was fortuitous as even at 2-0 we seemed to be trying our best at times to convert a both teams to score coupon. Looking forward to the next round draw but we'll need to up our game significantly to get three points next week. 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.

TONofmemories Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 29 minutes ago, Mr.Blue said: Gillespie motioned to the shed to relax as well in the first half. I think this all came from frustration as montrose were competing well and making it difficult for us to get the ball forward. I so think we could have had a bit more urgency with the ball at tomes but we also need to be realistic that it won't go forward every time. Personally i don't mind players giving some back if they're getting it from the fans. No one was getting it personally, it was a collective groan to passing the ball back. That said, I've moved positions in the shed and some of the shouts are wild. Complete lack of football knowledge for the most part. 1 TIME FOR CHANGE!

Can't agree with this - we created about 5 good chances in ten minutes around the opening goal, so Montrose were really not set up to make it difficult. We made it difficult for ourselves by playing backward passes under no pressure with the opportunity to turn and drive forward (the issue that led to Blues' clash). I'd have no issue with us keeping the ball to control the game at 1-0 but we didn't actually do that either. After a few backward passes it inevitably went to O'Connor and a fairly aimless punt to Montrose. The team just played weirdly without confidence in their own ability at times - perhaps it was just an off-day.

If its simply a few frustrated groans then being told to shut the fuck up is out of order. I couldn't give a shit personally but a degree of professionalism still has to be shown. 2 "CORNBEEF IS A BELLEND" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAFKAC Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I watched Sportscene this morning and was surprised to hear Steve Lovell's description of how Morton play. He was tremendously complimentary about the constant attempt to play football, moving the ball and general enjoyment he got from watching us. 1 "I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig.

I understand his frustration and desire to set the record straight, but it only goes to provide validation in the tiny minds of such people for their insufferable trolling when they’ve already been put firmly in their box by their fellow posters. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time of my initial post on the subject, Dougie’s correct in saying there were several of us making the same point. I don’t know why but I ended up as the lone voice in support of our academy graduates. My most recent observation was that I applaud the fact that Dougie has turned that policy around for whatever reason. His statement backs that up 100%. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossMcC1874 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Not the worst draw and not the best either. They are rank rotten at the moment you would think if we keep the form up we should be in with a shout, I imagine they might bring a semi decent support also.
