roverthemoon Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 (edited) Thought Riley-Snow was brilliant today. Much better first touch than he had at Ayr and the way he ghosts past players in midfield at times is a joy. Bene also superb. He’s been the player of the season for me so far.

That’s clearly Starks Park they’d be as well just sticking a picture of him doing his shopping or on his holiday he’s posted on Social Media if they're that lazy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Just watched the highlights. We do love to miss at least a couple of absolute sitters each match. Looks like we didn't really offer up any clear openings to Morton but we did give them a handful of clear sights at goal from around the edge of the box. On another day we'd be punished. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We missed far easier chances - maybe he'd prefer if we'd won 4-3... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's kept a hold of the players he wanted and brought in his own. If we're a soft touch now it's because he's made us one. I don’t disagree, but it’s where we go from here I’m talking about. He could start by binning the three/five at the back and getting three players in central midfield. And demanding a bit of energy and general competitiveness as standard, maybe even - radical idea - prioritising attitude when picking the team. We’re too passive, too slow, and too prone to letting the opposition set the tempo; lose the first goal and we’re long-odds second favourites… There are all sorts of issues with shape and tactical approach, but rule no. 1 when you step onto a football pitch hasn’t changed: compete. If we’d competed with more energy and purpose from the start yesterday, that game finishes in a draw; same at home to QoS (or maybe even a win). That aspect shouldn’t be hard to change, but we need to start seeing it, and soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 We 'competed' just fine yesterday (and have done in all but one of the games so far). We just give away soft goals and don't have the guile to craft enough chances of our own to get back in the game. No amount of increased tempo or more huffing and puffing would change that, when your chump manager's grand plan is to just float crosses into the box against Christophe fucking Berra. The lack of fresh ideas in the dugout in the second half yesterday was damning. We should move to a proper central midfield instead of indulging this useless number 10 strategy, but there are bigger problems to solve on top of that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually agree with most of that… but I don’t agree that we competed properly yesterday (or against QoS). In both games, the opposition were quicker, more aggressive, more confident in the way they went about things. Among the many things we need to do, upping the zip (not the huffing and puffing) 10% and being generally more ruthless is the most basic… and therefore the easiest to address, even for a limited coach/manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSDR 88 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Good day out yesterday. First experience of the Norseman for myself yesterday, and wow - superb!Got to admit, that Morton home shirt is one of the nicest football shirts I’ve seen in many years [emoji1319] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Watched the highlights and was truly thankful I wasn’t able to buy the stream. I took all the shaky and wobble comments as hyperbolic complaints, they weren’t. The TonTV commentary team is excellent, now they need to find a camera operator without vertigo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith_Raver Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 The highlights were obviously Morton's editing - it seems that apart from the goal we hardly got a kick in the first half. Our own highlights are well respected as a fair reflection of play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our own highlights are well respected as a fair reflection of play. Nope, I edited them. We only had one decent chance by my notes the first half and that was the goal. Ross Matthews had a weak shot if I recall, but it wasn’t worthy of going in the package. I’ve edited nearly all our highlights packages for some time. TonTV gave us the entire match footage after the game, not an edit. EDIT: I will say it can be quite hard sometimes for the highlights to reflect a game properly as they are basically a collection of what is perceived to be the better chances in a game (or key moments like decent penalty shouts, red cards, etc.). Not talking about this game specifically, but say a team has a lot of decent build up play but it doesn’t result in shots or near misses from crosses, it might not come through in the packages.

port-ton Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Our camera work for games has been absolutely fine since the second week of the covid restart but for some reason the last two home games it's taken a massive drop. Think it was the queen's game I used the stream for and the camera work was actually giving me a headache. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverarover Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Em......were you at Cappielow today?...... I assume you realise The Cowshed is the covered terracing opposite the main stand ....right?Yes the Raith shot was fronm the edge of the box. The guy in the cowshed is behind the shot ie, the shooting players back is to him. Pretty simple really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
