Boyce was excellent tonight I thought, with Delaney, Ballantine, Moffat and Lyall showing up well too. Lemar is not a CF and I think he'll make way to the wings when we sign one. Davies looked a bit lost up against a tall physical defence. We lacked a bit of physicality up front to be honest. Pleased with the new signings and style of play! Agree with all of this. Reckon in the championship Davies through the middle and Reynolds out wide will be fine for now while we find someone who is more of a presence and can mix it up, up top. Felt Blues and Lyall struggled tonight but confident both will come good when the real stuff starts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ofcourse we all have our opinions but me personally I don’t think the guy is good enough and brings absolutely nothing to the starting 11 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson looks a different players from his first stint and when he first joined he looks like such a confident player atm which for us is pleasing to see for me blues is benched and like you said Wilson should be ahead of him Even though it was 2-0 boyes was fantastic tonight if he doesn’t have that donkey broadfoot beside him he’s more than capable of being one the best defenders in the league ( let me know if I’m going a bit ott with that statement ) Edited July 9 by Cowshed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In both stints with us he's needed a couple of games to get upto speed and settle. A few Football Manager experts wrote him off and now look silly 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferguson Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I thought Blues did fine last night aside from a couple of slack passes. Gillespie looks better suited to this system than he did last year but he makes a lot of mistakes, which is semi-expected with what he's being asked to do but it's also why Morton is his ceiling. Wilson does something similar but does a much better job of regaining and holding onto the ball, he's been good across every spell with us but he just seems to keep getting better. Hit a 60 yard diagonal to Bearne last night on his weak foot as if it was nothing, he'll be important this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see him having a real good career at a decent level. Pity we only have him on a 1 year deal. He will be our first choice CB along with I'd imagine Corr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 (edited) 19 hours ago, DreamOakTree1 said: I’m part of the very old school who used to watch the first team one Saturday at Cappielow and the reserves the next, and as well as the privilege of watching the likes of Allan McGraw, Morris Stevenson, Jimmy Wilson and Hugh Strachan ply their trade for Morton, I also took immense pride in seeing one of our youngsters breaking through. like Joe Harper, Joe Jordan or Neil McNab, to name a select few. Yes I’ve been very harsh in my comments on Dougie, and deserved to be banned for making it too personal, but it comes from a very personal place so I couldn’t help myself from letting rip, though that’s no excuse from my horrendous rant at Dougie. What "very personal place" would this be exactly? Do you want a fucking Victoria Cross for simply attending more games and for seeing more players develop over decades? Your Hovis-advert themed lecture conveniently passes over all the utter horseshit that was also produced from within GMFC's ranks consistently. How did our commitment to guid young players contribute to stinking out the entire Scottish league setup a few years before McGraw arrived (not developed here) as a player? How did it contribute to such glorious stints like circling the drain of the second tier in the early 1990s - in front of smaller crowds than today - despite having Derek fucking McInnes breaking through? The reality is that the only times when Morton have consistently punched above or even at their weight is by innovation and taking a different recruitment strategy to the competition. Including the introduction of Scandinavian players under Stewart and Lindberg/Rajamaki in the 90s to dig the club out of the Second Division. The obsession with youth development now is nothing more than a one-way ticket to the seaside leagues, which is why our manager is doing no such thing.

#Gary Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Last night was the first I've seen us and whilst preseason results are irrelevant, I didn't really see as much positives as others seem to have. Moffat and Boyes looked decent and that's about it imo. Gillespie, Blues and Lyall in the central areas were the biggest weakness. Wilson surely starts when the real stuff comes around. It's all irrelevant if we are planning for Kirk Broadfoot to be anything other than 4th choice right enough. Waste of budget. Might as well write the season off if he's going to start games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I see it is your not going to play that level of opposition every week they’re a solidified premiership side who finished 5th last season the positives I’m taking is we didn’t look miles off them with what is almost whole new squad, they tried to get the ball down and play it on a number of occasions it didn’t quite work but if you look at the game as a whole you can see what Dougie is trying to do with the team and I seen a lot more positives than negatives on the broadfoot situation if every single person watching that game can see he’s miles off it surely Dougie can and can’t possibly persist with him when the real stuff starts , I’ll point blank refuse to go and watch him play if his names on the team sheet Edited July 10 by Cowshed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TONTROOPER Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Havent attended any pre-season games this year so obviously cant offer any appraisal. However a hunch tells me Robbie Crawford may well be sorely missed. Hope I'm wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
