DreamOakTree1 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 22 hours ago, No_Problemo said: I think you are always going to be biased towards your own side - when you are doing well anyway. There is also ignorance involved in terms of some of the opposing sides players. For example there is no way I would consider Gillespie good enough to get near Dempsey or Murdoch but I’m aware he has done well for you. My joint team would look a little like this: Albinson Grimshaw Musonda Ambrose Strapp Crawford Murdoch Dempsey Chalmers Mullin Akinyemi I know McGrattan seems to be highly rated, I just don’t know enough about him so every chance he comes in for Mullin. Musonda, Dempsey, Chalmers, Musonda and Akinyemi are all absolute stick ons for me. That’s a reasonable pick, though if it’s on current form places may have to be found for Gillespie and McGrattan, who’ve both been essential to our 11 game unbeaten run. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunning1874 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 My guess is keeping it under wraps until the day and asking for fans to arrive early means the legend in question is alive and they're having something long lasting done in their honour, so I'll go for naming the stand or another end of the ground after Allan McGraw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morton still looking like a solid team Against Dundee we were shaky at the back with a worrying lack of attacking threat. Would be helpful if Mullin is back fit for this. Musonda and Kirk have been considerable misses. I would say Mullin will play 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUcal Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Morton 2-2 Ayr Ayr to drag out a draw in a game that Morton will probably deserve to win. Would be quite happy with this outcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would definitely offer something going forward. I'd guess Bullen would probably put Ecrepont at RB with Reading at LB. Mullin would be on the wing. I don't see him putting Ashford in a defensive position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Hewitt likely to be called back on the 1st? If the earlier rumour was right we might have a new face in the squad but that might have changed if Kirk is back sooner than expected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashford doesn’t deserve a start after his performance at Firhill and JML is probably suffering from the Craig McGuffie syndrome whereby he’s looked good coming off the bench but hasn’t looked up to it when he’s started. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, Mitchell-Lawson is borderline useless. There’s no doubt he’s had a couple good moments but his positional sense is horrific and he’s got very little idea of how to use his pace to his advantage. He came on against Dundee and spent most of the time sitting narrower than Reading on the same side as him. His end product is also suspect. He’s the type who will have four or five standout moment over a season. So far he’s scored a great goal against Arbroath and that’s about it. As for your question I’m not sure. I wouldn’t be against giving Ashford another go on the left. He’s done it before and looked fine. You’ve then got Chalmers and Mullin on the same side which would be interesting to see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't sure if his contract was until 31st December then he is free to sign elsewhere for the start of January or what. For all is well in the forward areas, we desperately miss Musonda and Kirk who actually play out from the back and start our attacks. Seen someone say Kirk was about Somerset today, so if that is true and is available it would be a huge boost. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb123! Posted December 31, 2022 Author Share Posted December 31, 2022 I'd go with the below team, don't think Kirk will be ready for it so i think Mullin is best alterative at RB, him and Chalmers on the same side is quite an interesting prospect. It's also clear that JML struggles out on the wing so i think it would be worth trying him in the middle of the pitch in a kind of CAM role almost like what Moff did, agaist Baird and Lithgow he'd certainly have the pace on them to get in behind off any lay offs from Dipo... Albinson Mullin McAllister McGinty Reading Chalmers Murdoch Dempsey McKenzie JML Dipo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
