Unfortunately at the moment he is the only Morton player pretty much guaranteed to be worth a goal a game. If only it wasn't for the opposition.

SpoonTon Posted July 20, 2024 Share Posted July 20, 2024 Problem with trying to pass the ball through the middle is that if you give the ball away or fail to take in the pass then you give away a dangerous counter attack opportunity. You need to be very good on the ball to play like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpoonTon Posted July 20, 2024 Share Posted July 20, 2024 Moffat is as much to blame as Broadfoot. The St Johnstone player is just much sharper to the ball. Broadfoot could have mitigated that risk a bit by playing the ball to Moffat's other foot, but that's not where he asked for the pass and Moffat really can't be beaten to the ball there if that's how we want to play football - but that's the inherent risk there. If you want your centre back to step up and play balls into feet then you're inviting counter attack if you get it wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcintyre_gmfc Posted July 20, 2024 Share Posted July 20, 2024 Moffat’s not leaving a gaping hole behind him though, which results in the space being exploited and the ball in the net. A player with Broadfoot’s experience should know better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DumfriesTon Posted July 20, 2024 Share Posted July 20, 2024 We're playing alright with the ball overall but done absolutely nothing with the bulk of possession. And now a Mullen error. Fuck sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpoonTon Posted July 20, 2024 Share Posted July 20, 2024 We could be 4-0 down because all St Johnstone need to do is wait for us to give the ball away and then spring the counter. I know a new team needs time to gel and adjust to the style of football, but this is far too easy. We either need to be much better at playing like this or work on something else. Big call for Imrie to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want your centre back to step up and play balls into feet then you're inviting counter attack if you get it wrong. Nonsense. Broadfoot can see the full picture, including the defender behind Moffat. Whether Moffat asks for it or not, Broadfoot can see it’s not on. He makes the wrong decision then compounds that by underhitting the pass and charging out of position, when he can also see how high Delaney is.

RossMcC1874 Posted July 20, 2024 Share Posted July 20, 2024 Crying out for something in the middle of the park and an attacker in a word so far who we have signed have looked so far off the pace. No disrespect to Reynolds but he looks like he can't be arsed, not surprised at Broadfoot we have all known it for ages. Doesn't look promising for starting the league season.

Of course the pass is on, Moffat had the positional advantage but wasn't sharp enough. But in case you've missed the tone of my posts, it's not a pass I'd want Broadfoot to make. It's too high risk for our level of ability in a match like that. Broadfoot is one of a number of players who have made similar passes in similar situations. That's more than a player making an error of judgement - that's a consequence of instruction. We've just done it again as I write this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted July 20, 2024 Share Posted July 20, 2024 Were the posters reporting on our promising performances in pre season friendlies handing out free toast in the blind folk's room too? Because that's my first viewing of this team and it is syphiliis. No attacking threat whatsoever, no theory of how we're going to actually break down a team's defence, a hospital ball being inevitably played after 10 useless passes. And worst of all, absolutely no effective pressing off the ball to either win the ball back in dangerous positions, or at least make us difficult to break down. Unless this shan, Jonatan Johansson-esque philosophy is binned then we are getting relegated with comfortably less than 30 points. Even then, I fear we've already committed to too many sand-dancers to go back to basics effectively. 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. You can all feel happy at how 'clever' you are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's wishful thinking to believe that two players will be enough to make this team genuinely competitive though. Against Ross County last season we had a system that worked and would clearly kick on when new players and squad options were added. I've seen absolutely nothing to build around today - that is a mediocre League One standard of team.
