Colkitto Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 As mentioned, Iredale has been a total revelation since coming back from his loan period. We all focus on incoming loans but it shows the benefit of sending young players out on loan too. He came to Cappielow in the Summer and looked a raw young talent. Played at CB and seemed a bit erratic at times, but you could see a player in there. Came back from loan and moved to LB. In my opinion he is now the player at Morton with the most potential to move to a higher level. A bold statement I know to make about a young player playing a handful of games since returning from loan. He's strong, athletic, has pace, good in defence and attack and when he goes on those runs with the ball towards the opposition defence he seems like a runaway train and totally unstoppable! I really hope the club are already in discussions about a contract for next season and beyond. In comparison Russell looked like a player bereft of confidence when he came on. A player who had such potential to play at a higher level he now looks destined for the seaside leagues unless he can turn his form around. He really needs to get his head down and work hard. He is a good class player, but has been off form for so long you really start to wonder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LargsTON Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I tend to agree on Iredale but for me our unsung hero on a regular basis is Gary Oliver. His intelligence and movement off the ball was fantastic yesterday and he and Tidser had a superb understanding. He's the ideal number 10. We just need someone up front to compliment him as I remain unconvinced of Tiff through the middle, although I can see Duffy's thoughts with Ross having the left wing berth sewn up. Onwards and upwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonsanorak Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 No there was another “attempt” about five minutes before that... Walshy? Came through the middle and hit one well wide, but not that wide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit to add: It's not just you, it applies to all the unhappy clappers that were guilty of slating the team, board and manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First goal was a beauty Iredale is like a new signing also, the lad has been a revelation since coming back from loan Had Gary Naysmyth sitting beside me he noted that the boys are a problem and that Iredale likes to get forward a lot leaving space in left back pocket. Anyway he missed goal no2 ( coffee) and 3 ( left early) maybe caught them on sportscene. Result pleasing need to avoid Aberdeen ( Ross needed) and Motherwell who seem to gub us recently. Hearts or Falkirk at home please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is brilliant at taking the ball into feet and must be a nightmare to mark because of his movement and finding those wee pockets. He actually had a frustrating second half but still put in a great shift. Scored a few goals recently too, great player for us and needs to be offered a new contract.

We also beat Motherwell at Cappielow 2 years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it's worth, the last time a team scored against Hearts at Tynecastle was Motherwell. The only team in the last eight games to do so. And that Motherwell side we beat are different from this one in almost every way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said they were the same team, merely pointing out that they don't always gub us as Paisley Ton said, we actually won the last encounter.

A few idiots standing near me in the shed were giving Oliver a right hard time in the second half. His return to the team and upturn in confidence has been one of the bigggest drivers of our recent good form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
