cmdc Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Duffy has been pretty ruthless in the past where he has felt better is needed (e.g. Crighton and S McCluskey). I reckon he'll take a similar approach this summer. Not wholesale - but I don't think he'll be sentimental about who stays and who goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Was it not Mccluskey who turned down a new deal? He did but I liked the fact Duffy gave him a deadline and didn't let him muck as around looking elsewhere then coming back after receiving no better offers.

vikingTON Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 That's not ruthless at all. 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...

Binning 2 weak players from the team that struggled to get over the line in League 1 is anything but ruthless. Ruthless would have been binning half the team, a scenario that most fans wouldn't have batted an eyelid about. Ruthless does not involve handing Scullion and Kudus new 6 month deals after contributing next to nothing meaningful in the first half of the season. Duffy has been far from ruthless. I fear that will continue and Shankland will be given a deal the minute Aberdeen rightfully bin him. If that happens, it's TTG Jim from the off.

Their loans are up, they are going back to Celtic, they posted a token thanks and goodbye. None of that has made the chance of them coming back any less or more.

Ray Von Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 If Kudus, Shankland or Scullion get a new deal, it probably is a sackable offence. We need strikers who can actually play every week and score goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpoonTon Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 All the best to Scullion. I would've given him far more game time than he got. There have been others given more chances with poorer performances. I'm just confused that Duffy kept giving him contracts when he wasn't going to give him sufficient game time.

I'm just confused that Duffy kept giving him contracts when he wasn't going to give him sufficient game time. Scullion was given ample opportunity to prove he was serious about being a professional footballer and get fit - he failed. He has all the ability in the world but as long as he has the local chippy on speed dial he will never realise his potential. Nothing against the lad but he has to take personal responsibility for having the build of TaunTon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 All the best to Jon if he's away. I doubt he'll get another full-time club. Might be worthwhile going down to League 1 and making a name for himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunning1874 Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 I felt he should have been given more chances this season, especially when we were persisting with Shankland and Oyenuga long after they'd proven themselves to be useless, but ultimately he was never any better than mediocre when he did get a chance so he can't complain. I've still never seen the slightest bit of evidence that his fitness was an issue, but he didn't manage to have an impact when he got a chance and letting him go is therefore the right decision.
