Dunning1874 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I'm feeling pretty relaxed about this when I should really be shitting myself. Our form being so bad has stopped any excitement being generated but has bizarrely stopped me being particularly worried either: I think because it's such a ridiculous notion that a team who are nine games without a win could then go and win three two-legged ties in three weeks I'm just able to go into it with no expectations, until tomorrow at least. All our games with Dundee United and Falkirk have been tight and a fringe starting eleven for us never looked like losing to United's first team on Saturday so there is cause for optimism there in that we know we are good enough to beat both of them on our day and even in this terrible run of form we still avoided defeat against them, but again, nine games without a win. This time tomorrow I'll probably be climbing the walls but for now I'm not that bothered. Quitongo to appear in the 89th minute of the second leg to fire us through after the Undertaker's music hits, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplemonkeydishwasher Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I'm not feeling too bad about the United games either. I'm actually very much looking forward to it. Although I'd imagine when tomorrow comes, I'll be shitting castles. Exactly this. Especially after watching saturdays game there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a United perspective, I think it's daft that a team who have won four games in 2017, and none away from home in five months, still have a shot of promotion. I'm quite relaxed because I am 99% sure we are not going up. We just aren't very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe The Hype Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I would prefer to face Utd rather than Morton going by previous results this season which is stating the fucking obvious. Especially if Quitongo makes the team, I think that would give the rest of the team a lift as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scosha Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 It would be f*cking tremendous if Quitongo makes a return but I highly doubt that'll happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lost three times in a row to the Pars - that makes up a quarter of our wins for the full season. Lets not kid ourselves, It took horrendous mistakes from our defence and keeper to beat us. We put 2 goals on a plate for you in the first game at EEP and Gats gave you a freebie in your win at Cappielow. We played really poor in that game yet you needed a howler from us to get the win. We haven't made as many obvious mistakes this whole season as we have against you lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Morton's recent form has been bemusing. Ever since they beat us 1-0 they seem to have switched off. There was quite a big build up to that game and its as if Morton thought right we've beaten them thats second placed sorted and then couldn't get going again. Certainly been a difficult team for us to play. Very solid and stuffy side whereas against United you always fancy yourselves to get a few goals.

vikingTON Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 No, the win in Grangemouth effectively secured our play-off spot, which has been the stated target of Duffy throughout the season. Which is why, consciously or not, the squad hasn't applied the same intensity during the last quarter of the season. It's similar to what has happened to Tony Pulis' West Brom. Our excellent performance at Easter Road in late March and the fact that we've rested players over the past few weeks offer plausible grounds to expect a decent showing in the playoffs. I'm not convinced that will win out over the loss of form and confidence suffered by a young and inexperienced Morton side though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also put you in poll position for 2nd at that point I would've said. I thought our chances of second went out the window that day to be honest. At least with West Brom they had hee haw else to go for but 2nd makes a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want Falkirk going into the return leg at home chasing a deficit. I can't see us dealing with a team defending a lead at TFS. If you ask me, Dundee United will be more dangerous at Tannadice with a big crowd than Morton at Cappielow. So, with respect to Morton, I'd rather face them.
