palmy_cammy Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Every manager seems to go through a phase of not having the courage of his convictions and needlessly dicking about with personnel and formations hoping to stumble on a winning formula. It never works. The answer is always to go back to basics and do the things you were doing well previously.I’m hearing that tonight was a 4-4-2 with Wilson and Doyle as wingers. Astonishing!

port-ton Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Does Reece Lyon get to keep Queen of the South yet?Got his chance against you then got injured and not really been in the team since until tonight. Absolute class performance from someone so young and inexperienced.There's not many midfielders in this division who are both dynamic and have the quality on the ball to match it so I hope he keeps progressing.Tidser again showed why it's absolutely baffling why our manager has been letting us slide in to a relegation battle with him dropped to the bench.

Colkitto Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 We definitely deserved the win in a formation and system that actually worked for us tonight. Tumilty was really good for us and probably played his best game in a Morton shirt. Of course he had a couple of mis-placed passes which inevitably got the over-reaction from some. But over-all I thought he had a great game. Tidser and Lyon showed up well too and the midfield partnership worked. Kilday was good at the back also. We're still struggling up front though. McHugh is our main goal threat. Thomson wasn't too bad when he came on and at least he's someone who can win headers. Young Dallas looks like the development player he is - maybe one for the future but right now it looks a step up too early in his career. Maybe he will adapt as the season goes on who knows? In the end up a massive 3 points which incredibly leaves us only 3 points off the 4th playoff spot. Still a tight league with 10 games to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsene Parcelly Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 The worrying thing is we go to The Pars on Saturday which earlier was the worst game of the season so far. And that was a game we WON. Saturday is really gonna be a blast!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomad Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 will we be able to afford Sir Stephen in League 1? If GN is offered a new contract, queue disintegration of crowds to 80's levels. I will join the abstainers. This is just dire. GN honest and likeable guy, but PLEASE realise your limitations and do me a favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoon Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 That’s the best we’ve played in a wee while, midfield in particular were great, but Queens were horrendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astonishing!More like an 8-2 while lumping balls to Dykes and Dobbie. That Wilson does not look like a footballer. Strolls about like a wounded gazelle.

tigerton Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Thought McCrorie was excellent for us tonight. Didn't have much to do as such, but was a great calming influence at the back. The exact opposite of Martin up the other end, who was hopelessly glued to his line Gaston style for the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep Martin is a dreadful keeper. Flash`s line about a line dancing group being after him when apparently we turned down bids for a few players in January remains a particular favourite of mine..

Dunning1874 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 That’s an absolutely massive win. It’s still going to be an uncomfortable end to the season but from here two wins and a few draws from the final 10 games should see us safe and three wins almost certainly will. Shitfesting 1-0s will do fine. We’re a long long way from turning the corner, but that was our best performance in weeks. Tidser and Lyon should be starting every game.

Martin actually had a two or three excellent saves tonight I thought but ultimately the number of crosses he doesn't deal with will be his downfall.

Yep Martin does make some decent saves. As you suggest though an ability or even willingness to deal with cross balls is a basic minimum for a decent keeper. if you don`t deal with crosses then you have to be exceptional at the other stuff. Martin isn`t. I await with dread the announcement of the "good news" that we`ve extended his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madton Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Thought we deserved the win, even if it had to come from a set piece with 5 mins to go. We controlled it with our midfield 3 and looked solid defensively too. Full backs caused a lot of problems and that is now 401 minutes without conceding at Cappielow currently. Queens were poor, and whilst Dobbie is always a threat, I felt we kept him quiet tonight which gave us a chance to win the game. Didn't expect it, but that was a pretty good performance from us. Hopefully get the same level of performance against Falkirk. Special mention to Lyon and Tidser who worked brilliantly together. Hopefully Lyon can kick on and replace Tids when he moves on!

Paisley Ton Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Have said it before McCrorie will be the reason we survive this year. Tonight had a few solid saves you would expect a decent goalie to make, commands his area and comes and claims lose balls punted and up for grabs. Hope Rangers punt him and we see an opportunity. Realistically hope Rangers let us have him next year and not punt him out to a lower half Premier mob. Great show from young Lyons but did run out of steam my MOM. Who go it didn't hear at full time. Six shots on target I all all dizzy, were we better or were QOS just poor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
