vikingTON Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 (edited) Might as well start this now in anticipation of the most eye-bleeding game of football in geological history and a potential shame game from both sets of fans at the same time. Have two managers ever been hounded onto the park at the start of a game before? Which ex-Morton, Hopkin-signed haddy will score a last minute winner - and for which team?

diegomarahenry Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Home win you might think Morton are shite and you might be right but Ayr have downed tools, the manager doesn’t care, the players don’t care and the chairman is to busy posting construction porn to do anything about it. if Morton want to win, they will win. It’s that easy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should start McGinty as well. Just so both sets of can focus some of that rage on to the park. Not that it'll be difficult but McGinty can be the focal point and everyone can build from there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lithgow will presumably be suspended for us so it would be nice if you could bring something like that* to the shame game. *not like that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus MacPherson tends to put on 17 year olds who've barely played professional football while credible Championship players on the bench, so there's absolutely no guarantee Morton will actually want to win this game.

AsimButtHitsASix Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Lithgow's suspended and McLean might still be injured. This means we may be forced into a Ledger/McEntee centre back pairing. Both players have more pace than our usual centre back pairing and are more comfortable on the ball. This will allow us to play a higher line and squeeze the game to our advantage. We could play Ugwu up top on his own without him being so isolated. With less ground to cover Lyons box-to-box runs would give us defensive cover and an attacking threat. In short being forced into playing our two best centre backs at centre back for a change could trigger a tactical switch which may benefit the team. So I can only presume Gus will ignore that andnot make any changes to his award winning formula of shithousing for a 0-0 draw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s that easy. This is a really interesting comment. And kind of sums up exactly how Sons fans felt about Duffy last season. It felt like being in charge of us was just a job for him. Nothing more. Win or lose he'd say the same stuff post-match (bitterly disappointed with the goal(s) we lost, we'll work with the players in training to make sure we compete better next week, really tough place to come/opponents). It never felt like his heart was fully in being Dumbarton manager. And from listening to his post-match yesterday that sounds the same at Ayr. I'm not saying he doesn't care. It could just be how he is. But the difference between him and Stevie Farrell in the way they act is stark. After a defeat you can tell Faz is hurting. He'll be emotional. After a win he'll have a buzz about him. Even in pre-season he just had an energy that Duffy didn't ever seem to bring. As soon as I saw the scoreline yesterday I knew exactly how the match thread would read. Copy and paste job from our threads last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trogdor Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I was planning to go to this game but I can't be fucked right now. Our team is an utter shambles at the moment. Players couldn't give a flying f**k. I'll be astounded if Morton don't win this. We are utterly rancid and can barely muster shots at goal and are conceding goals a plenty at the moment. Best hope for Ayr is a nil nil shitfest. Although we'd have to actually defend and not give free headers to the opposition. That seems beyond us at present. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as I saw the scoreline yesterday I knew exactly how the match thread would read. Copy and paste job from our threads last season. In his midweek interview with the local press, he said that the performance was poor and the team would have to show a reaction against Dunfermline. The reaction was to change 2 or 3 players, not change the shape or the style of play. Barely cross the halfway and have one long range effort on goal. It reminds me of Hopkin telling the local paper that the player had been told a game was must win and we needed a performance leading to us getting pumped 4-0 by Arbroath. We barely hear anything from the club and when we get a rare interview with the manager, it is full of empty platitudes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
