The time it takes for every throw becomes rather tedious. Agreed. Given the amount of time Morton were allowed to move the furniture before each long throw, could we have used the same tactic and run the clock down towards the end of the game by insisting on taking 2 minutes to rearrange the stadium before all of our throw ins?

Read the game well, and his tackling was clean. Robbie Muirhead is a handful, and, goal apart, McBeth kept him quiet throughout. What was noticeable to me was that it appeared that McBeth was the dominant CB calling the shots with Aero falling into line. Midfield was OK. Neilson has something in that position, but has to think and act more quickly to be truly dominant in that area of the field. Scott Robinson - love this guy. His work rate is phenomenal. He is the best foil for Brian Graham that doesn't disrupt the formation, and his leap for a guy of average height is truly impressive. Well merited MoM today. Going forward, perhaps McBeth could cement the dominant CB role?? Agreeing with all that, especially as regards Scott Robinson. Does he have special springs in his football boots?

Auld Jag Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 Not sure if we should be concerned, a lot of very vocal Morton fans have went missing from the Pie and Bovril website since about 4-55pm last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rearranging Mortons ground would be something if not an impossible task.

allyo Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 (edited) I'd say that's generally very unusual at this level of Scottish football. Though might have happened for us already, as we have very few non-Scottish players. Edited March 18 by allyo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
