AsimButtHitsASix Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Dunno where my misplaced confidence is coming from but got a weird feeling something will "click" for Morton after Ross County and we'll take this one 3-1 in a fairly even game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Accoerding to the match preview on our official site Harkins is 1 or 2 weeks away from fitness and both Mercer and Frizzell are doubts for the match tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially as we didn’t really need him and he wasn’t having his best game. 22 hours ago, QosLoyal said: What about Harkins? When is he back. Miss his creativity. Guys, please. Don't build our hopes up only to kill them off before we reach halftime on Tuesday. Going by last Saturday you could replace half your recognised first team with reserves or youth players and still expect to take all three points.

Alibi Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 It appears Harkins is injured. That's a bonus for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 We drew 0-0 with County, Morton got beat 5-0 so a comfortable 5-0 win for QoS it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that doesn't depress Morton fans too much. Dobbie has been a bit quiet the last couple of games, he's due to hit a few against some unfortunate side.

19QOS19 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I think we've looked significantly less threatening since we lost Harkins. The sooner he is back the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sooner he is back the better. It goes without saying that teams miss their better players, and Harkins undoubtedly is in that category for us. Equally though, it is a cheery fact that we have managed to win both games he has missed. Dobbie being poor in both of those games goes some way to dispel Northfield's myth that "all we have is Dobbie" as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fae_the_'briggs Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Have we ever gone this long in a match thread V Morton without bumpkin Tory borderers being mentioned. It just doesn't seem like a real match build-up without it. Maybe if ( a big if) Morton win it will get a mention. And don't forget they employ wind-bag Houston now. Let's hope the journeyman bumpkins put him firmly in his place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we've played you already but it was right at the start of the season, so how have other players settled in. Is Johnstone anywhere near ready to return, not tonight hopefully.

AsimButtHitsASix Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I said at the time losing Murdoch was fucking stupid. We offered Harkins a deal and he went elsewhere, fair enough, but we just let Murdoch go. Some folk, like VT, made the point that a first choice midfield trio of Jimbo, Midge and Tids would mean Murdoch might not get game time and, with Telfer coming in as well, would have been better for the player to go but two of them are the wrong side of 30 and Tidser's more attacking than Murdoch so they would compliment each other. Maybe hindsight's a wonderful tool but Ray McKinnon is also a tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alibi Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Letting Murdoch go was, I think, McKinnon's decision and an exceptionally stupid decision. Not re-signing Harkins was pretty stupid too, although Miller and a suitably-positioned Tidser (in the middle, not out wide) probably make up for that one. Possibly whoever let Harkins get away thought he didn't have another season in him, but the way he plays it's not as if he relies on his legendary pace (although he did show a clean pair of heels to some Queens players in our 5-0 win last season IIRC). Fair to say we have pretty much changed the entire squad since last season, but don't appear to be any better. The total lack of any credible strikers who are actually fit to play is ruining our season, and our 2 top scorers are midfielders, with Tidser our main threat. There are also question marks over our defence, particularly Kilday from recent reports, and the defending on Saturday and against Ayr was comically poor. Pretty sure tonight won't end 0-0. we desperately need Johnstone back, plus another striker in January. So far, the season has been very disappointing. Probably not going to be in relegation trouble but unlikely to be in the top four without major improvements all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
