RJM77 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Team will be - Gaston Kilday - Lamie - McKeown - Russell Barr - Forbes - Miller - McCluskey Peaso - Johnstone Swap Miller with Tidser if he's fit and if Peaso is still out then replace him with Scullion. 6-0 Falkirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I know it's Jim Duffy and he does things like playing a central midfielder at right back when he's got a right back at centre back and a centre back in central midfield, but if we're going into games against the likes of Falkirk playing 4-4-fucking-2 even I'll be surprised at his stupidity.

MrDust Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I'd get Taiwo in there, prefer it in the centre with either Vaulks or Kerr. I'm not writing Kerr off after one game. The cup final midfield worked, no reason why it can't carry on, tho Sibbs has been rather subdued, he has a lot on his shoulders, last year of contract and to match last season's performances. Hopefully have a new striker in, as my thots on Friday was if McHugh or Baird not doing it, we don't have a great option of replacement. Saturday is when it begins, two cup games so far are just extended friendlies....unless you get beat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Fitzgerald Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 Could people stop questioning the pessimism of teams they have no clue about please?Alright princess calm down. I'd love to have seen how pessimistic you were the last time you were in the division. Do enlighten us to the people that are ignorant about your negative vibes this year?

Ira Gaines Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 You mean why are supporters of a club who scraped through a fucking dreadful league one and haven't strengthened the squad enough pessimistic? Jeez. I don't know. Not sure what the last time we were in the division has to do with anything. We got pumped every week and conceded ten goals on the last day. I'd say there might have been good reason there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris. Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Should we have been keeping track of your squad and performances last season? From the outside looking in, you won what in the end turned out to be a tight league (poor or not), lost narrowly to Dumbarton in the cup whilst almost coming from 3-0 down and won 5-0 at the weekend. That doesn't sound too bad - as I said, from the outside. Absolutely nothing wrong with asking the question as to why you lot are pessimistic on the back of all that. Dunning at least provided a decent response highlighting why everyone is so negative, whereas you're more intent on whining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonBairn Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Surely the terracing will open this weekend? If it isn't, I would imagine some will be put off with the thought of having to sit in that main stand. Will be a tough game I reckon and Morton should have the momentum from last season and also yesterday's results No excuses from us though. We need off to a good start and I would except the same XI from Friday night to start the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunning at least provided a decent response highlighting why everyone is so negative, whereas you're more intent on whining. One thing we can't fault Duffy for is the tremendous team spirit and attitude he's instilled in the team which is what saw us get through that tight league. Without it we wouldn't have been able to pull off comebacks like beating Ayr 2-1 having been 1-0 down going into stoppage time or beating Stenny 3-2 having been 2-0 down with 12 minutes to go, and a team managed by some other Morton managers who may or may not be Jim McInally would have collapsed after going 1-0 down on the last day when we needed to win. A great team spirit can only get you so far though: it can help you win a league that you're one of the best teams in where every title challenger is inconsistent, but it counts for nothing if you're in a relegation battle being outclassed by vastly superior teams every week, and his failure to strengthen means that's the position we're going to be in.

We need off to a good start and I would except the same XI from Friday night to start the game How many do you usually take on away trips for the first game of the season? If you've got more than 700 coming through, which I'd imagine you would, it'll be the WDE. Less than that and you've got the joy of the now literally collapsing stand.

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 800-1000 usually for the first away game. I'd hope for the top end of that considering we've started at Cowdenbeath and Dumbarton recently iirc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolph Hucker Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 in a relegation battle being outclassed by vastly superior teams every week I don't have any quibble with the rest of your post, but the bit qouted is a bit more pessimistic than realistic. As things stand right now, I'd expect half the league to be consistently better than us; the other half we should be able to compete with. That's not to say we'll finish above all of them, just that they are our direct competition for survival in this division this season. Plus, the transfer window is still open. This time last week we didn't know about Denny Johnstone, and he looks like being a very good addition to the squad. We need to hope that we can get hold of 3 or 4 players of similar quality before the window closes, whether on straight transfers or on loan deals.

AyrshireTon Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Whilst I'm thinking that we could take something from this game, I'm equally aware that Falkirk could turn up and do one of those 5-1 things again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornbeef Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I fear we don't yet have the squad to cope with Falkirk on Saturday. I'll be delighted if we get anything from this one - as I think we're bound to get stronger once JD finally gets the squad he wants. McKeown got on the park at the tail end of the Elgin game. We can only hope that he can help galvanise a ropey defence - otherwise Saturday could be messy. At this time the away win is most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
