The Greenock Morton Thread - It's Better Than Yours


Recommended Posts

Any "old lags" appointed to manage a Championship team at this stage of the season will have a combination of success and failure as part of their CVs.

Will be interesting to compare the Morton/Ayr results today and over the rest of the season - I reckon Morton have got the better end of the deals especially if MacPherson/Millen have the same hunger as 15 years ago, whereas Hopkin's managerial record seems less impressive especially with his success at Livi now coming with the caveat of how much was due to Martindale.

Jim Duffy's transfer window approach at Morton was to sign a few regens and jobbers and then wait until the final minutes to add someone half decent wasn't it?

We're currently sitting with a squad of 17. Two of the 17 are goalkeepers; one of whom is injured and has a handful of games in the Bostik Northern League Premier Division South League or something to his name and the other of whom basically retired before lockdown. Daniel Church is injured for at least a few weeks, and we have 10 games in the next 30 days. 

Praying he pulls a miracle out the bag.

Things must be bad if you’re giving Sam Ramsbottom a trial. Sam isn’t the answer - no matter what the question is.

Think you might be right about this...

😂 Must admit, I didn’t think even Sam would make such an impact on his debut! Comedy gold.

it’s a pity his move to Falkirk at the start of the season didn’t happen - that would’ve kept us entertained for months and you guys would probably be one spot higher in the division now.

Enjoy him while you can.

MacPherson:

"We have 25 or 26 outfield players which is far too many for a club this size and we have been left with the headache.”

Not caring much about diplomacy towards Hopkin and McElhone :lol:

Is McElhone away? Haven't seen any mention of him since MacPherson was appointed but he doesn't appear to be in any of the matchday photos.

Gus impressing again,solid, didn't give much away and looked dangerous, particularly second half when we dominated for large spells and really should have put the game to bed.

Every confidence he will keep us up and look forward to him building a competitive and balanced squad for next season.

I hope they throw the book at us. Surprised the police aren't involved. 

Even worse was the fact that the game was streamed live on You Tube.

Rabin Omar and James Wallace - I assume the verdict isn't good?

If we’re honest, it’s just ‘don’t know’.

We’ve barely seen Wallace, and Omar, who played as a more or less ‘free’ attacking midfielder at the lower level, has never played there for us. Looked terrible in centre-mid and at right-back, but who knows if there’s something there at L1/L2 in his best position.
