Only positive is that we've not slipped in the league battle with that. Perfect time, if ever, to lose.

First managerial performance from Bowyer that can be described as McPake-esque is the biggest worry.

Forget every other tactical decision. I understand starting Kwame. I understand McMullan being hooked. I don't get how Jakubiak and Robinson weren't allowed to link up after being used to devastating effect last week. That's as poor a decision as Bowyer has made whilst our manager.

Thought Legzdins was back to the keeper he used to show he was. Colossal performance and didn't deserve to be on the losing side but we've just too many shitebags in our team. No surprise that it's the Morton's, Arbroath's and Raith's we struggle against. Teams that get in our face and we have too many that shite the bed to compete.

I’d have to make the Legend our MOM. That 1 brilliant save alone and his overall performance. He wasn’t up against much though. 
A total shitebag performance from all concerned including the management. 
Fair play to Imrie though. Few would have picked him as management material but it’s pretty close to miraculous what he’s doing at Cappielow.

Still kinda in our own hands.

I think Ayr United are our biggest threat now (apart from ourselves). If the top 3 all have the same results in the next few fixtures, Ayr United will be top by 2 goals.

We still have to play the both once more, Ayr United at home and QP away on the last day. I think QP will fade away by then though.

Last night was a slip we didn't need but not a disaster.

I think it’s important to put last night’s performance into perspective.  Morton 100% deserved their victory.  Imrie deserves a lot of credit for what he is achieving at Morton (that was painful to type).  They had a game plan which they executed with great discipline.   The disappointing thing from our perspective was Morton’s game plan was quite predictable yet we appear not to have gone into the game knowing how to deal with it or how to break them down.

However, having read through the match thread it’s clear the Morton fans are delighted with the result and the performance of their team.  If we had beaten Morton 1-0 at home giving exactly the same performance as Morton did last night I just don’t think we would be on here singing the praises of the team in quite the same manner.  We would be questioning why we allowed the away team to have more shots on goal than we had and why we allowed them to have more possession than us.  We’d probably even  be complaining why our forwards didn’t get a goal.

Arguably Morton we’re at or near their best and we were nowhere close to our best.  

I still think we are the best team in the division and I think that will be proved over the course of the season.

Dundee shit the bed at Cappielow again, change the fucking record. I expect a very different, more high-scoring game against a very different bogey team next week, but there better be a swift return to form soon.

Nowhere near our best and missing 2 possibly 3 starters including our top goalscorer. 

Good effort though mate.

I must admit, I've never noticed this @Mr.Blue fellow before but he has become quite prominent since Morten (his words, not mine) started fighting it out for the last remaining play off spot.

I like these upstarts.

Pay closer attention then. Been here for years.

I think it says more about your input than my attention. You should keep up this level of bravado when your club inevitability slink back to ~7th.

Does it and should I? Thanks for the advice. I'll make sure to file it under 'Get fucked.'

Is that your only response? Telling people to 'get fucked'? Said it to me a few times as well, razor sharp wit.

Thank you.

I don’t think Morton are capable of much more.  You think they are.

Time of course will be the best judge of who is correct.

It's the modern day obsession with one up top - but that requires midfield to support the lone striker.  But with Morton pressing there was a huge gap to Jakubiak/Robinson so they either rarely saw the ball or when he did he had no-one near him to pass to.

This was one game where going two up might have had an impact.

That being said we had lots of opportunities to deliver balls into the area and constantly either overhit the cross or underhit it.  Losing the goal so early rattled us as well - we conceded then looked like conceding again we were so panicky.

I'm happy with the one up top stuff but play Jakubiak in McCowan's position (where he started last night) and allow him to link up with Robinson so that he operates almost as a wide attacker.

Mulligan put in a decent shift when he came on but him for Kwame was the wrong move.

A measly 52 greens in 15 years on this site would seem to back this up

I'd agree re: last nights subs but think only Kwame and Sheridan can play that one up role in our squad.
