IainMorton Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 No thread for this one? Thought both sets of fans would be right up for this... Will be a tough game for us as Rovers are doing better than expected in League 1, but we should be winning this against lower league opposition (no offence!). Will be close though, going for 2-1 Morton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinclair Street Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 You never know in the cup. Can see this going to a replay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 You never know in the cup. Can see this going to a replay. Yeah, much like our last visit to Cliftonhill. Would rather win it on the day though. Obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustOneCornetto Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Expect to see Alex Samuel starting this game as Stef is suspended. Rovers goalscorer against the Pars, Josh Mullins, will also miss out due to suspension. They have only lost 5 goals in 6 league games at home so they won't be a pushover. The only other change I'd like to see is Miller in for O'Ware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Well Spartans pumped us out last season, so who the f**k knows? Seem a much better side this season, so I'd like to think that sort of result just isn't going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madton Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Important we get through this. There is a good feeling about the club right now and we don't want that ruined with a shock cup exit. Tricky but I fancy us by a couple. Can Luca play? If not, move oware back and bring Miller in. 0-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornbeef Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Just saw that they've got Andy Barrowman now. I'm not exactly stricken by fear but I'm sure he'd love to get a goal or two in this game. As Randy says... after Spartans - who knows. I fancy a narrow win for us.

Cowshed118 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I think we are a much better side now than last year, can see a tough game but us to get over the line in the end , 0-2 Samuel double Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoon Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Potential banana skin here. Rovers look a decent enough League 1 outfit so I'm not anticipating an easy game. Would like to see McKee & Scullion brought in for this but suspect it'll be near enough the same lineup as Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bold Rover Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Don't know anything about Gemmell... I see he didn't feature in your game on Sat ? Was suspended. But out of favour in any case. I noticed Derek Gaston has been missing from the Morton team - nothing serious, I hope? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJM77 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Was suspended. But out of favour in any case. I noticed Derek Gaston has been missing from the Morton team - nothing serious, I hope? He's injured, no idea when he's actually due back though, preferably rather soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USTon Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Tough game on a pitch that might be a bit of an equaliser. Anything can happen in the cup but we really should be winning this. Thought the same at Spartans of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Who had "blame the pitch" in the tea lady's list of pre-emptive excuses? It's always a vintage effort whenever the club faces the horror of having to play away in a cup competition. I wouldn't be surprised with a draw followed by a fairly comfortable win in a replay.

Anyway, on to more important things - A Morton win, by one goal or two but not likely to be more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The likely condition of the pitch is something that has to be taken into account when formulating team selection and tactics. As a consequence of that who and how we play might not meet with ours fans expectations. But then they won't have watched Albion play on Saturday.

Albino Rover Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I'm sorry to see Derek sidelined, like Bold I hope it's nothing significant, but it means we have a chance of scoring so I'll take it. With league business going so well I'm in two minds about how much we should put into this game, but finances are tight and after two good Cup runs in recent years I think we have every right to have a good go at Morton. We have a part-time squad with the fitness levels of a full-time squad, but after two testing games in quick succession energy might be an issue. Perhaps Andy Barrowman will finally come alive against his former club. Ricardo Talu may also have a point to prove to Jim Duffy, who rejected him in the Summer.
