Madton Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Don't see much wrong with that tackle, looks like he got the ball. Expected much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TONofmemories Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Going to be a frustrating season of chucking away silly goals unless we rectify the back line. Special mention to Cadden for his performance yesterday. Hes a pler. Young Strapp was also excellent IMO. Look forward to seeing him progress. TIME FOR CHANGE!

Scott Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Strapp has some range on his throw ins btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamOakTree Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I don't get the thing about the Fourth Official being appointed at the last minute. Did he replace another official? Or had the SPFL planned to go without one? There are Fourth Officials for every Premiership game and the TV games in the lower leagues. I'd have thought it would be a given that every last sixteen game in the League Cup and the Scottish Cup would have one. I was also puzzled by this statement. Dave McKinnon seems to be implying the last minute appointment of a fourth official was somehow a disadvantage to Morton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunning1874 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Regardless of the refereeing, you can point to an individual error or the shape of the team as a whole being poor for each of their five goals. Rogers made a mess of the third but had an otherwise solid performance, while if we get the recruitment right then in two weeks the only starter yesterday who should be part of our first choice defence is Strapp, who was excellent. Get those defensive signings and we’re looking decent.

DreamOakTree Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Even if we start playing the likes of Jacobs in his correct position and play Tumilty at Right Back, it would surely improve our defence, though I agree another centre back would help, at least as cover for Grant’s likely recurring absences.

Get those defensive signings and we’re looking decent. You make it sound so simple and yes it is glaringly obvious where the issues are but we've been looking to fix the problem for weeks now and it's not proving easy to find the required quality at the budget we've got. The danger is we get more ringers in the quality of Van Shiote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I don’t think we need another right back, whilst Tumilty isn’t the best he’s competent at least. 2 CH’s are a priority before another RB where we already have 3 players who can play there.

I'd have thought it would be a given that every last sixteen game in the League Cup and the Scottish Cup would have one. Report says we thought there wasn't going to be one at all and he was appointed at the 'last minute' . Not sure what our definition of last minute is, but the wee guy who wrote the match preview on the official site on Thursday knew there was to be the fourth official, not sure why the club didn't or if they deem back then as still last minute? Bit embarrassing if that's the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Blue Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Defensively we looked really shaky. McAlister should have done better with the ball through for the 4th.

Scott Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Who can play at right back apart from Tumilty?Salkeld Edit - and Jacobs but only as a last resort. He’s far too slow to be playing out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpoonTon Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Salkeld Edit - and Jacobs but only as a last resort. He’s far too slow to be playing out there. Is there any evidence that Salkeld can really play there? I mean, Jacobs could join a club next season and say he has played at right back - but there's nothing to suggest he can actually effectively play that role. The reality at the moment is that we're really struggling for a right back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
