FTOF Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 1 minute ago, McG said: I usually agree with most of your posts etc mate but he’s miles off it, doesn’t command his box and just looks shite. Mark Ridgers type signing. Robinson isn’t daft though and will know he isn’t good enough after 2-3 games and he will be quickly replaced. I'm certain he's not as good as Carson, but I don't think, on my viewing, albeit it was somewhat limited by the Tinpot TV experience, that he looked that bad. I would prefer him to be back up to someone better also. However, we are where we are at present. Although, if you cast your mind back, similar criticism was being levelled at Carson at the start of last season. That turned out O.K. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let that sink in! 1988. Here are their top flight heroes. I think we were in the European Cup Winners Cup that season. I got married in 1988, that’s how fcuking long ago it is.

ford prefect Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Great result for Morton. It'll probably be the highlight of their season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenburn bud Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 It’s actually embarrassing to see folk almost foaming at the mouth over a friendly. I would feel the same if it were our fans crowing over a pre season kickabout. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ford prefect Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 I think it's right though to be a bit concerned about our team, but no need for full scale doom and gloom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 At least when Morton were last in the top flight, we all looked cool as fcuk at our nights out on the town after the fitba’. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molotov Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Perhaps we should pile a load of money on Morten to win the league? Surely guaranteed after scudding a top 6 team in a pre season kick about! If Elvis agrees we are certainties to get relegated then what odds from McBookie for a double that one of the soap dodgers predicts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted July 8, 2023 Author Share Posted July 8, 2023 (edited) Think there were a few positives to take from today as well as negatives. Boyd Munce looked excellent. He'll be an important player for us this season. On the right side of the pitch, once they get an understanding, McMenamin, Strain and Kiltie should be a pain in the arse for opposition defences. All three are technically very good. Taylor at LWB looks positionally fine. His delivery and end product though, does not which just reinforces my view he shouldn't be played out there and a first choice LWB should be sounded out. Ethan Sutherland in his 45 minutes looked impressive again in an attacking sense. Was unlucky not to score with a rasping dig that forced a good save and has a lot of confidencecgoing forward. Think it's plain to see that he's never played as a LWB though, he left massive gaps defensively and luckily Morton's right winger wasn't very good to exploit that. Mandron looked OK when he came on but really needs to not take two too many touches when shaping up for a dig. On the downside though, Gallagher on that performance looked like his legs might be going. He was defending through treacle at times. Though I don't know how much the double session have taken that out the legs at this point in time. Olusanya, I get what folk think he could bring to the team. A bit of unpredictability and chaos factor but its not to the benefit of the team. He's an awful, awful finisher and no matter how many times you find yourself in good positions through being unorthodox, if you can't finish, you're no good. Grieve is the opposite. A guy who we've seen in the past is a good finisher but he's looked more and more like he's actually regressing in terms of his overall play and contribution. He's turned in nothing performances for months and today, looked absolutely lost and never once got himself into a dangerous or goalscoring position and thats been case with him for months. A real shame as I had been seeing progress in his first year with the club but that seems to have just fallen away. I actually wouldn't be surprised if we'd be open to moving him on at this stage. Nowhere near panic stations yet though. Still a lot of shaking and moving to be done both in and out you feel.

AW saint Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 These games are fitness exercises nothing more. Do we have elements of our side that are in need of improvement? Totally. Would still like a left back, a striker, right sided centre half and a creative midfielder. We need to get the Carson situation resolved. This can't rumble on into the new season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIVIFOREVER Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 1 hour ago, sergie's no1 fan said: We are going to shit the bed with this league cup group aren't we? . In all seriousness I was hoping the annual meltdown could have been avoided this summer after what happened last season. Pretty much why I avoid friendlies now, they are brutal and mainly for the manager to tinker about and see who's up to scratch, who's not, experiment with a few things. Yep, it's nice to win pre season games but they mean very little to how your league campaign will go. We got scudded 3-0 by Morton in a pre season game last season and did ok when the league started. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norrie82 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Time to let the guys who aren’t cutting it go out on loan if not for good. This might help us free up enough cash for a player who actually might bag a few. It’s no use being a 4 goal a season striker and last season we know this was our Achilles heel 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing sinking in here is your attempt to be relevant in a Scottish top flight football forum. Enjoy your win in a pre season kick about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
