How confident are Morton going into this one? Other posts don't seem to be too happy with Irons!

I think our first league goals will start to flow this weekend with a 2-0 win.

I'm pretty damn confident after our showing against Hibs last night. I just hope we can put in that type of performance in the league as well. And I do believe that we can. We've not had a great start to the league but we're not as bad as our early form suggests IMO. Last night also gave me a LOT more confidence in our goalkeeper so I'm hoping he can keep that up after a somewhat poor start from him. Maybe just needed time to settle to be fair.

I'll go for 3-1 Morton.

Last night proved that we are capable of creating a lot of chances, and more importantly, sticking them in the net. Gives me a bit of confidence going into Saturday, although the players will be shattered after last night.

Hopefully the players will as up for it as they were against Hibs, as this is a must win for us. A win for us and we can get a good run going here.

Morton stepped up their game for an SPL side. The only change from previous games for our side will be confidence now that we have a win under our belts, and with a struggling Airdrie United being the opposition, that might be enough.

0-0 SHOCK!!

A struggling airdrie where did u get that from. Lost one out of four with three clean sheets would hardly call that struggling especially against four of the stronger teams in the division and two clean sheets out of two away from home is hardly poor now is it.

If you can't score goals, you're struggling. You can't go through a league and not score any goals. Morton have only not scored in one game this season, so we can find goals from somewhere.

Struggling, yet above you lot in the league.


32 more 0-0 draws will leave us with 35 points. More then enough for a play-off place, unless Irons gets sacked.

We're both struggling. Us more than you lot, but with a lack of fire power, and with our side having an air of confidence, I reckon we can get the right result.

I think our performance tonight will have a bearing on Sat. I'll hawd ma wheest till tomorrow(ish). Having said that I think we'll get a goal on Sat.

Agree with all of that.

Both teams will be looking to win the game, so it should make for an entertaining 90 minutes.
Either Airdrie end their goal drought or we keep a clean sheet: something has to give.

After last night I think we will be exuberant. Another Airdire 1 Morton 6 may be on the cards.

I hope we win but I hope its a pish match - I can't go.

Why not?

I reckon Airdrie are virtually guaranteed their first goal on Saturday, whatever happens.

As previously mentioned, I'd be quite happy with a total snoozefest, with Morton winning by a goal or two.

Another 6-1 doing is liable to result in crockery being thrown chez McB, and I don't want to lose my deposit...

As would any fan if they were being honest. Regardless, no matter how good we play it won't be as good as last night!

1-0 Morton is my prediction.

Would take that in a heart beat. We badly need 3 points to kick start our league campaign!

I don't know how we'll be able to score without Ian Brines' 4 goal hauls...

Did you get in last night??

That applies to both sets of players although we will have had an extra day to recover.

Its also worth pointing out that we have scored 17 goals in our 7 competitive matches so far. Scoring is less of a problem for us than keeping them out!

Mon the flying crockery!

Hand yon halfwit the cleaning utensils and tell him to get on with it.....

There goes the confidence advantage.

Magic result last night, confidence will be right up, team played great from back to front. Can't believe we didn't score.

Both teams will be on a high for Saturday now!

The goals are coming

What makes you think that a team that has struggled so far in the league is suddenly going to score three goals against the team with the best defensive record in the league? Ill have some of what your on.

Is Buckfast available in north London?

even more confident we'll score on sat. we didn't even look tired after 120 mins, so fatigue shouldn't be an issue. looking forward to the game, more than yesterday, as I feared a defeat at tynecastle may have had a knock on effect. it will, a POSITIVE one.


OH STEVIE STEVIE, STEVIE STEVIE STEVIE STEVIE ROBERTSON (ad infinitum)

Clydebank 1 Morton 2

Can i be the 1st Jambo to wish Morton all the best

Thank you.

HA HA, Good to see your not bitter

I dished it out to my Hibby friends, so my turn today.

No idea how this one will end up although slightly concerned that Airdrie are being quite mean in defence. Hopefully we'll take some confidence from Tuesday night as 3 pts would be quite useful at the mo.

Zzzzzz

If I hadn't worked out who you were from the avatar your post would have given the game away. Halfwit indeed!

Thankfully I don't think Buckie is available down here...

I very much doubt Airdrie will go into this game with the same mindset they had for, say, Dundee or last night's match.
If Morton can nick a goal early on, the onus would be on Airdrie to attack and commit men forward, opening up the test of defending counter-attacks.
I agree though that if Airdrie were to go in front on Saturday I wouldn't be confident of ourselves equalising.

I've changed my mind.

Both teams on a high after knocking out SPL sides? It's got a 0-0 snorefest written all over it.

I think a lot will depend on the first goal. Whoever gets it will go onto win the game imo!

I think I'll be positive and go for a win for the first time this year; 2-1 the 'Ton.

Because we have better players than you - simple really. Remember you lot only got into this Division by virtue of someone else's misfortune, not on your own merit. I'll go for 3-1 to the 'Ton.

Oh dear - bedtime for someone methinks.

I think Airdrie will have to have a go at us as they need the points as much as us. Hopefully therefore, they may not be so tight at the back!

Plus Scott McLaughlin seems to be keeping his place in the team so they can't be all that good!!

Does the winner get to keep Edinburgh?

f**k em nazi bassas we WILL get a result on saturday, they couldnae score in a brothel


2 nil to the ton

Confident the game wont be postponed then?

Thats no way to talk about Dingwall

But do you have better players than us? We have a completely new team and im confident that we can score into your team as you have not done too well so far. People who have played both of us so far have commented that we are the better team.

Maybe so far you have been, but I agree. Morton have better players.

You've been solid at the back but hardly setting the heather on fire up front. We've been scoring pretty freely withd 17 in our competitive matches so far. We have only failed to score once - against Dundee at Dens.

Our problem has been closing the back door but I think we are looking better now in that respect.

If you score first, I would expect the shutters to go up and we might struggle with that. If you don't score you will have to give it a go against us and that might make it a reasonably open game.
