Mo toring on

I think we are skirting around the issues a bit. This is not a season 23/24 slump but it in fact started in November last year. In the comments above you have picked out Hester, McAllister, Dillon, Steeves and Waddell so that is half a team sorted in a breath. Why did Montrose allow/release Allan, Milne and Whatley to move on? Previously McAllister has been mentioned as the issue and if Montrose didn't play him they'd be less likely to just lump the ball up field and play some brand of glorious football. From watching McAllister in the past for other teams he was rarely the recipient of long ball football so it would appear to be a choice that Montrose use him this way. The question is therefore are the midfield not creative or being prevented from being so? Are we now saying Webster, Gardyne, Brown, Lyons (slump in form excluded!) have suddenly become dull uncreative players?

Well that was not very good! Is SP genuinely not interested in the Cup?

I think the management on this ocassion blew that. 3-0 up and as the old proverb goes if it aint broke........ started the 2nd half with a back five and Cammy still on the left We allowed Airdrie to then control the middle of the pitch.Taking Cameron off after 45 minutrs was calamatous. Can't understand why Gardyne was hooked either. Cannot fault the comittment, effort and bravery. The players must be devasted as they gave it everything. Hopefully another crack at it next season.
