spot on Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I’d have to say that Morton look the weakest team and can really see them struggling to keep out of the bottom two with a hard run of games coming up I’d expect them to keep dropping down over the next few weeks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith_Raver Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) The worst team Ive seen all season was ourselves at home to QOS who at the time were in freefall. I thought ICT have been good against us, holding us at home when we were playing well, and sorted us out up there. I agree, Ayr and Dunfermline have looked very similiar this season.

TxRover Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Assuming Bene, Tait, Matthews, Gullan, Vaughan and JMac out for the game, with Tait likely the only possible return, I’d say: Thomson Mendy/Davo/Musonda Tumilty/Spencer/Hendry/KMac Armstrong/Ugwu/Kennedy Bring on Duku or Abraham for Ugwu between halftime and 60 minutes, and perhaps allow Smith or Coulson an appearance for Armstrong (neither’s natural position, but...) in the last 20, if we have the game under control. King (or Tait, if healthy, or Arnott) to slot into the middle if we need a change after the half or so. Biggest question will be do we name The Witch or Bow, or is JMac well enough to be on the bench for emergency use? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith_Raver Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Like everyone else I'm puzzled by Duku's absences 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Starko Rover Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 What’s up with Vaughan now? JMac and Mathews are the biggest miss for me. Really big game this one and a win would be massive in the playoff race but I expect a tough game as Ayr are a decent team. Could this be another draw with both teams cancelling each other out like the first fixture? Morton are probably the poorest team over the games so far, we destroyed them at Starks and while last week was 1-0 they never looked like troubling our defence which is a rare thing to say as it’s probably our weakness yet they strolled it. I think Morton will be Hoping Alloa and Arbroath’s form drops as they’re looking like the team that’s getting dragged into the relegation fight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Morton will be Hoping Alloa and Arbroath’s form drops as they’re looking like the team that’s getting dragged into the relegation fight. Vaughan had a “thigh issue”, per the gaffer, Tait had a gashed ankle/leg, Matthews is lingering Achilles issue, JMac is a hammy tightness they hope they caught in time, Bene is a mild hammy strain and Gullan hasn’t been mentioned. 6 hours ago, Raith_Raver said: Like everyone else I'm puzzled by Duku's absences Nothing has been said anywhere explaining it. There is a tendency to assume he was a COVID sufferer and this might be slow recovering, and that’s mainly based upon not understanding why our “leading scorer” isn’t starting. In my opinion, the gaffer always intended to rotate striker duties between at least Duku and Ugwu, so I’m not surprised to be seeing less of Duku, especially with Vaughan and Abraham too. His scoring has been more opportunistic than impressive, so he don’t strike me as a must start on the team, unlike Frankie or Hendry, for instance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith_Raver Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 It's hard to see any games being on this weekend. There's a terrifically cold front on its way from the North (-7 predicted in the Central Belt, -17 in the Highlands) to replace this snow from the East, followed by a warmish front from the South West but I don't think it'll be here long enough to thaw the ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itzdrk Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I was looking at the forecast presuming it would be on. Not supposed to be cold enough for an artificial surface to have problems Thursday onwards up by. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Starko Rover Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Weather’s not looking good, struggled to get from the harbour to Hayfield this morning and we sacked it before lunchtime as the weather was too poor, same in Dundee and Stirling too. If it’s like this all week can’t see any football 3G or Grass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Looking forward to when the game gets called off and someone says that our “all weather pitch” is rubbish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
