roman_bairn Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Just to clarify, I don’t think anyone has said we should “easily dispatch them”. However we went there today with a better team than them and on a good run of form so why are we trying to pretend a draw was a good result. Why shouldn’t we have expected to win today? Why can’t we be disappointed that we didn’t? We went there today as underdogs (17/10) to win according to bookmakers…. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman_bairn Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 I’m 100% with you. Folk lamenting certain posters being quiet on the back of some good results however it’s the same with the Morrison haters. I really don’t get how anyone can’t see how he’s the most effective attacking player we have. No doubt he can be frustrating but he’s had the top goal contributions the past couple of seasons. His ability alone creates chances and although he can squander some, I’d much rather have a player willing to have a go than be too scared to shoot.Mate, if Morrison is our most effective player we are not going up.He could be our most effective player, if he could learn to cross the ball and learn to judge when we have a better chance to score when there’s someone in space to pass to. Scoring goals is good but not if as a team we could score even more goals with more effective decision making and more joined up play.At the moment I think he could be more effective as an impact player from the bench, and I’d rather see Kennedy in his place at the moment… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can’t we be disappointed that we didn’t? Really? I was thinking a Falkirk defeat in this one. I've watched football since the mid 80's and there always been well organised teams with smaller budgets that have punched above their weight. Montrose are one of those teams right now. I thought that was a decent result for Falkirk. We have the same fixture next week and I would take a draw tbh.

Tough ask for a young lad not used to the position I would keep McKay in the team at right back he did really well there today including putting in a peach of a cross that Morrison should have thrown himself at . Yeats is a great prospect but it won’t do any harm to rest him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirk should have won today and their failure will sting for weeks. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 A draw away to Montrose is a fine result, I'd be content enough with that when we play them away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take him out the team and we’ll be worse for it. He scored the first goal vs Peterhead in our 4-0 win. The first goal in 1-1 vs Dunfermline First goal in 3-1 vs Queens First goal 3-0 away to Edinburgh Put us back in front in 3-1 win against Peterhead First goal in 1-1 draw with Bonnyrigg Goals change games so really don’t see why anyone would consider replacing Morrison at this moment in time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can also miss them, just like the opportunity to score from a free header and the obvious pass to Kennedy today to score. Today alone I could argue he cost us two points….. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’d take one game of Morrison being “benched” before we realised what we were missing. Imagine an attacking midfield of Mcguffie Nesbitt Kennedy ffs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirk are only doing well this season due to a single midfielder apparently performing well because according to you the rest of our midfield are shite? Yes, I think I’ll pass on your judgement too…. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I think I’ll pass on your judgement too…. Way to put words in my mouth! Morrison is by far our most influential midfielder. Goals win games and I shudder to think of our goal scoring abilities without him. I honestly think that, without him, we would really struggle. Does that make him perfect or unselfish? No! An attacking midfield of Mcguffie Nesbitt and Kennedy, however? Fine. That is the sole alternative. If that’s what you want then sweet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PedroMoutinho Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I don’t think a draw away at Montrose is a particularly bad result. But equally it’s yet another game against a top side that we’ve failed to win. It’s all very well beating your Peterhead’s and Clyde’s but won’t be going up this season either automatically or via the play offs if we cannot beat these top 4 teams. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
