Colkitto Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Still feel completely shocked at that performance last night. St Mirren had all the pressure on them fighting relegation at the bottom of the league yet it was us who collapsed. The often used "embarrassing display" to describe performances is sometimes used out of context, but it fits how we played last night. Absolute no excuses for how abysmally we performed. I didn't believe it was possible for this squad of players to give a performance like that given how well we've done this season. Players will need dropped for our next game. I suppose the fact is we haven't really used our full squad over the season shows how well players have done, but also shows how little faith Duffy has on those on the fringes. All parts of the team were poor - defence, midfield and our non-existent forward line. No one could complain at being dropped after last night. Next game is huge to see how the players will respond. We are in real danger of letting our very good season just fizzle out. Only one player really looked up for it and that was Nesbitt, with maybe O'Ware just getting pass marks too. Doyle put in a shocker which is strange as he was one of our most reliable players. Is Oliver injured? He hasn't been the player he was since he returned from injury. Mysteriously subbed against Hibs but makes it into the team last night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shankland and Oyenuga have both had multiple chances and as well as clearly not being good enough themselves, they actively drag the rest of the team's performances down with them. It's not just contributing nothing with the ball, they actively hinder and get in the way of players who are good enough with their complete lack of awareness and movement. There's no point in persisting with them for the sake of staying with the system that's worked for us previously this season, because the system can't work with them in it. You're spot on regarding Mark Russell, he was his usual superb self at the start of the season then got moved to left midfield entirely unnecessarily, lost his form as a result of being out of position and hasn't recovered it since being returned to left back. If a few games out the team is necessary for him to refocus then return to rebuild his confidence that'll have to do, but hopefully this scenario means that idiots who clamour for full backs who are good going forward to be played in midfield because 'being good in attack = not a defender' will pipe down the next time we have one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangemouth Bairn Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 RIP to Chris your young Community Coach who passed away. Sounds like the young lad was an inspiration to others. Puts our chat about the game into perspective. Really sad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonEhTon Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Will Duffy answer the SOS from Dundee ? Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest, though it's highly unlikely he'd go until the end of the season with the likely imminent playoffs for us and would Dundee appoint an interim until then? Bigger club, bigger support, bigger budget and (probably) top flight. Better deal for Duffy than Dundee I'd say, and he'd probably be more keen than them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Unreal that VT has been on this forum for years, yet still he causes people to feel genuine joy when Morton lose purely so they can goad him. Fair play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LargsTON Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 For anyone wondering; this isn't a random picture. It's the new segregation mesh which I assume has been put in place for the visit of Ayr. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Carson is my No 1 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Any truth in the rumour that someone has contacted the SFA / SPFL regarding Mortons collapses towards the end of each season they are in contention for promotion ? My Morton supporting workmates are saying someone has. They are looking for an investigation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
