Played like a pre-season friendly, with no urgency whatsoever . Well done Livi who defended excellently and were well organised.

Morton had the bulk of the play and were technically the better side, but we didn't even look interested at times.

Two poor goals to lose and all our own doing. When we threw on Jai, Oliver and Thomson we just couldn't break Livi down. But by that time we had lost all our composure.

Tidser inevitably missed the penalty and you could sense we just were not going to score.

I hate losing games no matter what, but lets face it, this is a dreadful cup competition and I'm not sorry to be out of it altogether.

A bit crap. Thought we looked okay before their goal, but once they took the lead we basically chucked it. No urgency or creativity, which is frustrating considering the result we got on Saturday. Leaving Quitongo on the bench suggests we weren't all that arsed about advancing anyway, but it's still far from pleasant to watch such a dull, lifeless performance.

Livingston deserved the win. We were comfortably the better team at 0-0 but as soon as they scored they took total control of the game and could easily have added another few on the counter attack if they'd bothered to try after scoring the second.

Duffy's substitutions only handed more control to them: imagine actually thinking a midfield three of Tidser, Forbes and Gary fucking Harkins could ever work :lol:

Very comfortable, hard to get carried away though, clearly both teams rested players and we just adapted better. 

First 20 minutes was all Morton without really hurting us but as has been said after we scored we didn't really look like losing. 

Nice to see how much depth we've got in the squad, Gallagher, Byrne, Robinson, Jacobs all not in the 18 and we still had a decent bench with Mullen, Carrick, Peters, Mackin and Brown all on the bench.

longridge for being a left back was superb as a CB tonight, Toderov done a great job up front and at CB when he was out there and a great debut by Joe Thomson who plays with so much maturity for a 20 year old. 

Wasn't overly bothered about tonight but a good win and keeps up our unbeaten run.

Quite looking forward to this. Cracking night for a game of football. 

2-0 home win. McHugh and Forbes. 

Good guess but the wrong way round.

 

Wasn't pretty, especially the first half but we got the win and move on to the next round.

 

Toddy's goal looked well taken, after outmuscling the defender he took it well.
