Mr.Blue Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I think we'll win this one - although I share Ayrshireton's concern about Stirling breaking their duck at home. A win would give Duffy a bit of breathing space. A loss would confirm his position on a slippery slope (as would a draw) This next month will be pivotal - as Duffy's signings will determine whether the club is in recovery or in terminal decline under the current administration.[/ Is there a doubt that the club is in terminal decline?

Jamie_M Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 A loss will have no bearing on the immediate future of Duffer. Therefore no point hoping for that. We'll win anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMDP Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 First game this season as I haven't been in Scotland since July. Hoping for a win (had a good record in games I saw last season W5 D1 L1) but not exactly confident given how the season has gone so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 A loss will have no bearing on the immediate future of Duffer. Therefore no point hoping for that. We'll win anyway. In what parallel universe would losing to a bottom of the league side, as part of a four games winless streak, not markedly increase the chances of his departure? He probably won't actually be punted at 5:30 tomorrow, but you're deluded if you think that he doesn't need a convincing result tomorrow. If he doesn't get it, then pressure will increase by some margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albionees Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Can see this game far enough now. We won't have any additions to the squad before the game and with the departure of two players, there can't be many options to choose from.

Dumb yatt Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Good to see mild hysteria breaking out among Morton fans. With luck this with spread to their team on the park. Now that stirling are finding the back of the net. I am hopeful for a home win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you've got that one the wrong way round, see Crighton, Sean for an ample demonstration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 The one that Douglas Rae inhabits. All going well he'll be hounded too and will then deflect all scrutiny by throwing Duffy overboard - that's how it has worked at Morton for a decade. This time the applause and relief at the removal of Duffy has to be drowned out by a continued hounding of the clown who appointed him, on a two year deal, this summer and is running the club into the ground.

vikingTON Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 To be fair eight of those attacking side's lineups omitted Andy Barrowman. 2-0 Stirling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTon Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 that's us! So, an easy Morton win? Nope, we are awful and you'll see that tomorrow. Just mentioning the fact that someone said if your defence 'stay strong' they've hardly been strong if you've conceded so many goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinclair Street Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Rae and Duffy have won a watch with this fixture on the back of three appalling results. No matter how bad we've been lately, with Pepper and O'Ware back it's a banker away win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably won't actually be punted at 5:30 tomorrow, but you're deluded if you think that he doesn't need a convincing result tomorrow. If he doesn't get it, then pressure will increase by some margin. My point, which you agree with, is that he is highly unlikely to be punted this weekend regardless of the result while others on this thread seem to think a loss will lead to his inevitable and highly deserved firing. The one that Douglas Rae inhabits. This is the reason for my scepticism. I have yet to be convinced that Dougie has any intention of punting him any time soon while we are still 'comfortably' in the playoff spots (despite the fact that being clear at the top would be the only position closely resembling acceptable). Having sat through the 5-1 humping at Cowden last year and watched in amazement as Rae did nothing about it for over a month, I have no faith that he will do anything close to the right thing (or Duffer wouldn't even be here now). The pressure will intensify - from us - but i'm not sure the Chairman takes any notice of that just now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I reckon a much less patient chairman would only now be considering punting him. And we know how patient, or clueless, Rae is with managers. So I think a loss today would only be a nudge in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#Gary Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Duffy will be here for the duration of his contract unless crowds start being regularly under 1000. I'm staying away anyway as I'd rather watch paint dry at the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
