19QOS19 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Can we just take relegation now? Give all other teams a 3-0 default win and go into hibernation until the summer - it would better for all involved.If there was a way to get rid of this shower of charlatans, including the management and only be penalised by relegation I'd take it right now and save the club some money. Said it the other week but now we're 10th we won't be moving from that spot. A fresh start next season in League 1 but if Alan Johnston is given another year I'll be seriously considering not attending next year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QOSQOS Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 For second goal we casually gave away an unecessary corner. I await replay of free kick 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ghost of B A R P Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Wins for Alloa and Arbroath... Queens surely need to punt Johnston and give someone else a chance to pull it round in January. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not be surprised if he sees out his contract in the summer. Particularly, if we are taking government grants. However, it would suicide to keep him on when it expires. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 AJ's win rate now at 22% and his loss rate 55%. Definitely the man to turn it around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjc-1988 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Make no mistake we were truly awful but Morton were every bit as bad. They created virtually nothing and somehow scored two goals from open play. I guess it sums up how easy it is to score against us and take the points. Squad littered with players who lack the ability and application required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, if you didn’t beat us today you would be as well calling it a day. We are at late 80s, early 90s level of shite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Three games played against Queens, Arbroath and Alloa: 7 points and 0 conceded. It's not going to get great plaudits for style but this Morton team is brutally effective at nicking other team's lunch money every other week and so long as we maintain even half of that organisation and attitude, we'll be just fine this season. A huge ten days and now everyone can enjoy Christmas and try our luck against Inverness with little pressure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fae_the_'briggs Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Got to feel a bit sorry for Shields and Maxwell, and maybe Gibson, having to play with that crew. The complete lack of awareness, determination, composure or even a smidgen of ability, is frightening. Could anybody make this shower of wage thief's into a half decent team, I doubt it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as any team gets dragged into that then our chances of getting the right result are good. Queen of the South's squad isn't any more deficient than ours but there's no such fundamental gameplan or idea of how best to win with it, which is why you're nine points behind us already.

Dunning1874 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 The first half was a non-event other than the goal, but thought we started the second really well. Queens then grew into it and really should have equalised, but lovely goal to finish it off and it was never in doubt after that. Strapp, McGinty, Lyon and believe it or not Muirhead all played really well and it's great for Orsi to get goals too. While you have to take into account the opposition and especially defending we were up against today, we've looked a much better team in the last two games. There's still an emphasis on defensive shitfesting, long balls and physical battles in our approach, but we actually have a plan for how to win games with it which was lacking under Hopkin. An eight point gap to 9th now and you can't really ask for much better this early in the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colkitto Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Was never a classic as they say, but the most important thing is we have another 3 points which incredibly takes us into 3rd place. We're defending well and are now scoring at vital times. Well done Orsi for his two goals today and a mention to Muirhead who I thought played well today and last week too. Great cross for the 2nd goal lets hope he is at last showing a bit of form 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squad littered with players who lack the ability and application required. Our back four were better than your back four, we had two players willing and able to take the ball on a terrible pitch in McPake and Lyon, and Kalvin Orsi, well, he scored twice. Apart from that, you’re spot on... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go as far as to say it is one of the most uninspiring Morton teams I have seen but surviving is all that matters and the points that you are building will surely keep you safe. It is not sour grapes I am under no illusions about how poor we are but from what I’ve seen of Ayr, Arbroath, Alloa, Morton the league is packed full of mediocrity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
