Morton Supporter

Thanks everybody, likewise I find it hard to believe the ‘last chance’ has really passed. I would just be looking for face value of course, but what worries me about selling it privately is that it I think the ticket will have my name on it and it can’t be changed without going through the UEFA resale platform. I could be wrong on that, I just don’t want someone buying it privately to spend that dough and then not get in!

Thank you

Guys, sorry this is probably advised online but I can’t see it - is the final chance to resell your tickets now gone? I have a category 2 ticket for the Hungary game but now have a clash and would like to offer it up. Is there any way for me to do this? It seems frankly ridiculous that 2 months from kick of there wouldn’t be some way to shift it. Cheers

Since losing our excellent unbeaten run on 2 March, we are now on an even worse run of form than our notorious start to the season. We’re by no means safe from 9th. I still have faith we’ll get enough from Arbroath (away) or Raith (home) but real examination of the squad needed, as is the manager’s approach to playing the game itself

You’re not making any sense? Im saying that the manager is either not asking Robbie to play that traditional CF role (in which case fine, I respect that, what do I know in comparison). Or Dougie does want that but Robbie’s either incapable or unkeen to do it. No dig at Robbie, he’d always be in my starting XI.

That result always looked likely when the team lines were published - Oakley is so key to the way we play and completely unrealistic to think there’s a replacement for him. Having said that, I expect Robbie to be told, be more capable, or be more willing to adapt his normal game and at least attempt to be that more traditional centre forward when Oakley can’t play. By that I mean anticipate where the ball’s going, be strong and challenge for the ball at every opportunity. Very difficult run of games ahead, up to and including Partick away. It’s possible we lose them all, particularly if we don’t have most of the injured players back. But i hope the support stay with the team - 3rd was and remains the highest it was likely we could finish. That will remain the same at the end of that run of fixtures - given there’s only marginal benefit in finishing 3rd over 4th what matters is getting to the playoffs with a fit squad as we’ve shown we’re capable of stringing together the requisite six results and will be a difficult out.

Do any statistician or club historian types know where 15 games unbeaten ranks all-time for us?

In previous years, a Morton team up 2-0 at home with the chance to move into a beautiful position in the league might have fumbled such an opportunity, beginning a calamitous end to the season. We’ve seen that sort of thing before, so I found that more nervy than I ought to have, but delighted now to have won.

Surely going to be our biggest attendance since COVID return, and probably for some time prior to that too.

Thank you, this is what I was hoping to see. Firstly to see how many points we’ve made on the team in fourth since then (Airdrie 13 points). But also the goal difference - an improvement of 15 goals over 10 games, or 1.5 goals per game is incredible. It really has to be one of the biggest turnarounds of any team in Scotland in memory. Although it would be unreasonable to expect this to continue til the end of the year it’s a lovely position to be in and all credit to the manager and his players.

Does anyone know how to get a view of the league table from, say, 3 December?

Ahh yes, apologies Jack. I don’t know if that says more about my memory as I get older or Bearne’s impact so far.

Morton sign someone called Jordan Davies on a pre-contract, a forward who’s scored 15 goals in 20-something Welsh Premier League games. Obviously know nothing about him but, I think, Dougie’s first foray outside of Scotland for a signing so interesting to see what he’s like in time and if we can expect any further signings from outside Scotland in due course.

Probably should have won that one, but on a day where you have a mentalist refereeing the game content to take a point and move on. I thought Doolan’s subs were the difference though, Lawless and Graham in particular were very ineffectual so I was worried about how our defence would cope with the different threat the subs might bring.

Today capped off a fantastic response from the players and coaching staff, after our most testing time in a couple of years. Days like today make it rewarding to support a wee team because you can see the character and resilience of your team of what aren’t particularly highly paid players or coaches. I hope those saying Dougie’s time was up are having a word with themselves now. A long way to go still of course, and the squad could still use a bit of surgery in January and a fuller review in the summer but fantastic week. I won’t repeat what’s been said about the referee but a special word for the stand side linesman - two slaps to the Strapp’s face right in front of him and not even a yellow card, then Muirhead flagged offside when 2-3 yards onside and through on goal in the second half. And I’m sure it was him that claimed there was a foul for the penalty.
