SuperTon Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Well after the emarrassment of last weekend we're back to league duties this week against a very well organised Stranraer side. The league form for both sides is very good with Stranraer unbeaten in their last 10 and Morton winning the last 4 on the trot. The reverse fixture was a 4-0 victory for ourselves although Stranraer had their keeper sent off early doors. Our away form is pretty poor and with Duffy at the helm anything is possible. I'll take a draw from this one. 1-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gub Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Never over confident, being a Stranraer fan teaches you that. But I'll go for 2-1 the the mighty blues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireTon Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 If this were a cup tie I'd be confident of us banging in at least 5. But it isn't, and I'm quite worried about this fixture. Only hope is that damaged pride leads the players to make amends for last week. I'd take a draw, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only hope is that damaged pride leads the players to make amends for last week. I'd take a draw, though. I've got more hope in Pepper and McManus coming back in for McKee and McCluskey. Russell moving back to left back with Crawford coming back into the midfield would be nice as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornbeef Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I saw the pic of Pepper ( ) with the crutches but haven't seen any report regarding the actual injury. Do we know what injury he has. ? We need him back asap. After Saturdays debacle - Duffy needs some kind of result to keep the (growing number of) critics at bay. Big game for us.

Hagi said last week that he hurt his knee in training, nothing serious, and was a doubt for the Spartans game. He didn't have any crutches on Saturday, so hopefully he'll be back this week.

vikingTON Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Stranraer should win, the only element of doubt being whether Dece McManus bails us out again. It's going to be a strange atmosphere given that the seethe from last week's cup shame hasn't even remotely subsided: none of the usual big licks if the players score and a casual trudge back to their own half would probably be reasonable behaviour.

Invert the Pyramid Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Another 8-0 would suffice, imo. Bring back Di Giacomo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forzamorton Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I expect a comfortable home win in this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Aitken's Love Child Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 We could be without a keeper for this one. Gaston has been struggling for weeks, Caraux is out, and the young lad McGowan was sent off for the development squad this week, which I believe rules him out of this game. We apparently have Grant Adam training with us, so he may be playing as a trialist tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with VT on one point - a week later and I'm still nursing my wrath about that result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much chance of him signing according to Duffy, he's just playing to cover for injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume he's available for tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornbeef Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 If Pepper and Scullion are out and O'Ware and Russell doubtful - we are really up against it. Stranraer look like good bet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the arse-up with the Peterhead-Ayr game, Duffy ought to put him on the bench to be safe (just in case we win this). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Bring back Di Giacomo. I fear the wheels are going to come off after the humiliation of last weekend, but it remains to be seen if McManus can single-handedly drag us to a result again. Wouldn't be at all surprised if we're fourth at the end of the day though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
