Morton vs Ayr United 8th March


Recommended Posts

An absolutely pathetic goal to concede which set the tone for the first 20 minutes, where it looked like we were going to contrive to be even worse than the second half last week. We've stabilised a bit since then and have created a couple of good chances, but there are simply too many passengers on the park. Crawford rolling back the years (two) to his 22/23 standard of performance, while Shaw's steadfast refusal to bother his arse running at any point is making things so much easier than they have to be for Ayr.

We don't look totally incapable of grabbing an equaliser here, but the defence are also liable to give away an howling goal. If they get a second early they'll steamroller us.

Does anyone remember me being given pelters for not liking deliberate tactical fouls? I changed my mind. If Corr's red was taking one for the team - GO ON MY SON 😃

It was a bit of both, he went in high and late but it wasn't in a dangerous position. Silly red. 

Lyall's yellow a minute ago on the other hand was a perfect cynical foul, took one for the team.

What a fucking second half performance that was. Incredible improvement and no one could deny we deserved to win that.

Should we have Lindberg and Rajamaki on at half time every week to inspire comeback wins? Yes, yes we should. 

Thimk Imrie picked the best lineup to handle Oakley and Main, though I was surprised to see it as he's normally very reluctant to play with a back 3. Crawford (or a similar deep-lying playmaker) is worth a shot with 3 centre backs too, because we really couldn't be putting the initiative on Baird to start our attacking plays. I very much doubt Ayr had any sort of preparation for that either, which is also a bonus. 

The first half was a patchy performance - some egregious errors on and off the ball, but we also created two very good chances to score and competed reasonably well in all areas. 

As the second half went on - and in exact opposite to last week - I thought we gained the legs on an Ayr team that had played midweek and produced less and less. Once our subs came on, the Ayr defence struggled to compete physically with them. Another great goal from Blues who is once again the most significant goal threat in the current team. Moffat put in a good shift in a difficult role (Shaw however did not), while all of Davies, Garrity and Keay made big contributions in allowing us to defend from the front. Not to mention the winner. 

Highlight for me was the new young team behind the Sinclair Street end slating that mercenary Oakley in the build up to the second goal. Award them the assist.

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

What a result. Second half perfect was very good. Great finish from Blues for the first and I have no idea what happened for the winner other than it went in. Maybe off Davies arse🤣. Thought Dougie got his team selection and tactics spot on today including the subs. Great to see Cameron Keay getting an opportunity.
