I personally don't rate him but he scores goals for queens that puts you more in the chance of winning games. I don't think there will be a more surprise result this season, especially in a 11 v 11 scenario Lyle has been a massive miss. He`s a top player for us and has a great scoring record. Seems to be a great fit at the club having done well for us over many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distant Doonhamer Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Today`s result was a sore one but at the start of the season if we`d been offered 2nd on goal difference after the 1st quarter plus the return of Dobbie I reckon we`d have taken that. Big game next week to restore some momentum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worrying tho must be the stumble of recent from Queens, I do think tho that after 18 games paints a more reflective picture unless there is a team like Hearts a few season ago which seems to be not the case so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have a decent chance of doing so. By the Houstie calculator we need 12 points from the next 9 games to stay on track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenslad Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I thought both Dowie and Marshall had dreadful first halves were they carrying injuries?. All three Morton goals came from their right with player cutting in from wing and shooting. Wonder if keeper was at fault - first goal looked very centrally and he didn't move - was he unsighted and in second well beaten at near post where keepers shouldn't lose goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-coo-shed Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Quitongo was very good for Morton today. Rigg out wide just doesn't work. We were afraid to pass the ball today and that was mainly due to Morton being sharper and quicker in every department.Three of Morton's goals were top class as well.

Falkirk, Raith, Hibs all away also trips to a rejuvenated Ayr and the Morton side that ripped us to bits today. Dundee Utd, Dunfermline, St Mirren and Dumbarton visiting Palmy. After todays confidence shattering result I would take 9 points and run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Mostly fair comments since someone put Mr. X's dummy tit back in. Derek Lyle would have changed absolutely nothing though: he wasn't good enough to change a game at ourselves years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost posted something 're queens fixtures way back, hinted on it after our game, but the queens first quarter is one you would hand pick if you had the choice. I decided against it as it obviously evens itself out but a good start can roll your season. We will see how queens do now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will see how queens do now Falkirk in a very similar situation really having had Dundee Utd, Hibs, Ayr, Dumbarton and Dunfermline at home. But like you say we all play every team four times and it evens out over the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 That was outstanding. I can't remember the last time I saw a Morton team play so well. Tremendous goals and the whole team was on fire. Quitongo was exceptional but while it's natural for opposition fans to notice the striker ripping the pish out of their defence more than anyone else, I thought Mark Russell was the best player on the park. Forbes and Lindsay were also immense. That second goal. Full credit to Duffy - a month ago we were winless and I wanted him out, the turnaround has been remarkable. As with last season, we started slowly and looked in real danger but he's now put a run of results together that should earn him everyone's trust. 5-0 at Palmerston. Absolute scenes.

Best Team in Angus Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Well done Jim Duffy he has had to put with a lot of abuse but now seems to be coming good, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NM_1919 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 I thought Russell was immense, surely struggle to keep hold of him with them kind of performances. Forbes a class act in midfield also, thought Nesbit was also good down left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell has only just come back from injury and into form. I reckon -like Jai- he is a year bigger and a year stronger. Russell will be the League's player of the year this season. I hope Quitongo realises he should stay with the Ton until at least Xmas 2017 if he wants to be a really good player. He needs a season and a half dominating defences before he is ready to go to a bigger club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I'd be quite happy if I never see the "highlights" at all for this game! [emoji35] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
