Not the greatest performance but take the points. Assertive first fifteen minutes, then we looked like a good Sunday league pub team. Horrible defensive performance and until the triple substitution, we could have lost this game. Comical last two minutes where Mutch pulls a worldly and they hit the post.
M&M you won’t get away with this type of performance, and Gomis needs to start. Defender is a must.

Next starting eleven should be the players finishing this game. Alston is miles short of fitness and so early in the season we need players out the traps. On the plus side we didn’t loose....

Great to get the win and break the opening day hoodoo.  

Also a decent covering of the game by Montrose TV.

Your namesake scored the last time we won in the opening day I think?

f**k sake.  Welcome back to football eh.

Terrible performance.

Montrose were fitter and faster to the ball and managed to string a few passes together.

Lee Miller won that game for us.

Gomis must start in front of Miller who was rotten.

Anyway, I suppose we’re due some luck.

I’d be tempted to play Miller in his natural position of right back. Gomis and Alston in the middle.

Thought with 10 to go HWFG again. Did not miss that sinking feeling. Big Lee changed it all. He is an old fox and knows how to get penalties. Great to see Leitch take his chance. He is a baller

Will FTV be putting up highlights or did they not attend at all today?

They were here so I assume there will be highlights.

I think you had a different stream than I did.

It doesn't matter how we won today, all that matters is the three points. Sad that Miller has to put himself on but to be honest I'd rather have a 37 year old Lee Miller coming on than Connor Sammon. Good to see Morrison step up to take another penalty again and stick it away.

First game of the season played badly and won.

Can live with that !

[Syd Puddefoot 290]

We were dreadful. Montrose must feel aggrieved at losing that.  As usual lack of energy in middle of park. G Miller was awful. We brought on 3 subs with combined age of 105 which bizarrely won us the game. We can't afford many performances like that. Important we won though, as Partick lost. Few players not up to speed fitness wise yet, Alston and Todd, with Connolly to come back should hopefully make a difference.

Totally agree about G Miller.

Must be Gomis.

He has QP unbeaten in the league though. Will look good on his CV!

[JulioBairn 323]

Gary Miller into the back 4 and Gomis into the midfield probably does strengthen us but I’m not sure it’ll happen.

Also, Robbie Leitch must find a way to have more influence on games. His goals against Brechin, Berwick, Raith and today suggest he has something about him but he hasn’t shown it enough/consistently.

Agree, Montrose will feel aggrieved not to take something from the game. Too often we were a yard behind/off their players, and as reported for nearly three seasons we looked like the part time team in levels of fitness.

Just not sure what our formation was today, which resulted in several poor individual performances. So often one of our best last season, Gary Miller has an absolute stinker, and hoping it’s a one off. Enough on our CB pairing if M&M can’t see the issue, be as well planning for PT football next season. 

On the plus side we’ve won our first game and how many times weve been the hard luck story.

Lee Miller labels that performance “first class”. Oh my f**k
