bridgeofweirdo Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Having Jordan Hart in goal makes such a difference to the overall confidence shown at the back - he looks solid and didn't put a foot wrong. A great performance from the whole team and encouraging signs for the season ahead if this level of competition can be maintained. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spider Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 Quite rightly the likes of Roberts, McKernon, Osadolor, Lachlan, Hart and McLauchlan are getting the plaudits for their performances so far, but I think Mortimer is worthy of special mention after last night too. He was clearly asked by Gus to play in a right wing role with a heavy emphasis on defensive duties, and whilst clearly not suited to that role you can't fault the boy for lack of effort. Three times he went down with what looked like agonising cramp, and each time he flung himself into full length stretching tackles shortly afterwards knowing full well the likely outcome. Another example of a player who clearly doesn't want to play for "bully-boy" Macpherson who has yet to receive credit from the usual suspects for what he has done so far this season. Yes it's early days and the proof of the pudding will be in the eating, but I've said all along that the man should be judged on where we stand at the end of September. However, what he has achieved so far in terms of getting a solid defence and a midfield that's gelling is nothing short of remarkable, and we can add goals to the mix then I'll be significantly revising my expectations upwards. Unfortunate that our first league match is away to Peterhead, and that we might conceivably be near the foot of the table after week 1, but I trust if that's the case that the "resign MacPherson" bandwagon won't be rolled out and that he has already proved he can defy the odds and build an exciting new team from scratch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an86 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Says a lot about the character of Mortimer that he was struggling to get around the pitch at the end and still put himself forward to dispatch a penalty. A night of no negatives in terms of performance and application from everyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it is because he never gives less than his all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASSANDMOVE Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 (edited) Great battling performance last night and unlucky to lose.*Struggled to see who was the full time team at times. Very difficult game against a Clarke inspired Killie to come at the weekend, I'm sure they'll show more quality than we saw last night from St Mirren. But if we show the same determination, application and organisation we can give them a game. * I know we drew In 90mins.

Hampden Diehard Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 You mean people were all over the place trying to get a decent view ? Tell them not to bother there ain't one I suppose when your team are getting pumped rotten by the mighty QP, every view would be a pish one. Next time you're due to come to Hampden, put the admission money on QP tanning your mob rather than attending. Then you don't need to whine like an old maid about the view again and you get a couple of quid to spoil yourself. Sounds like win, win for you.You can buy me a pint with your winnings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jinky Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Gus and his team appear to have assembled a right good squad with a decent blend of young hungry boys and a few older heads who are maybe late bloomers. So far think he’s used his squad schrewdly and still some to return from injury and get up to speed. Been really impressed with the squads fitness levels and no signs of weariness as games progress to latter stage. Like other contributors have highlighted there have been many excellent individual performances however for me the defence so far has stood out and no real surprise about Gibby and McLaughlan who are tried and tested but both full backs have been excellent.Dont know who can replace Lachlan at RB as the other night he just got better and better as the game went on...he must be one hell of a midfielder.On the other flank Summers is maybe more offensive but deserves great credit for his contribution todate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Aye, Lachlan has been a bit of a revelation at right back.It's a number of years since I've been so positive at the start of the season. It's great! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
