AllyMax Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Long ball to one man up against 4 defenders is just suicide. Get the ball down FFS 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppower Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Let's be honest it was a pub team we beat midweek. 45 minutes and we haven't had a shot on target. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For just about every year bar the odd few since ‘91. We’re never properly ‘up for it’. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi-1991 Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Sitting far too deep with zero out ball. Midfield anonymous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Shakey at the back, no control in the middle and blunt upfront. Only one team looking like winning this after 45 minutes. Not creating one chance is not really good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie73 Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Morton done their homework on Kelly, hopeless at cross balls, every corner into six yard box and Kelly is lost, rotten long ball pish, need to settle and pass second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Brutal!! Big half time talk required. Also get Nicholson and Vale on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellfan Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 This is so Motherwell. Sublime to shite. Morton deserve to be in front. As I said to my pal before the goal, Imrie should instruct his players to put the ball into Kelly every single time. He's a weak link. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had won once in almost twenty league games and only scraped past Alloa in the last round before Tuesday night. That so many seemed to think that we had “turned a corner” after scudding a rank rotten Ross County side who had chucked it for their manager was baffling. Big, big wake up call for those folk this, or at least it should be. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Unbelievable that we are set up with soft as shite Spittal and Paton defending that area after the game in Perth where they cost us two goals from corners. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benson Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Kelly blooper,defending set pieces has been awful all season,attacking set pieces no much better,big big effort needed second half,need to get ball into feet,more support from midfield,would get Nicholson on after 15 mins second half give us more drive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mio Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 We’ve been bullied all over the park. We are clearly a better footballing side but in games like this you need to have a bit about yourself and be strong in possession and use the ball better, we’ve been powder puff. Give it 10mins and if there’s no difference a few subs need to appear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 We knew they are a big physical team, good in air. So we keep the ball on the deck going forward and minimise crosses. Team probably needed freshened up for tonight. As far as I can tell, the wind isn't hampering Morton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orinoco Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Its scary to think how much Kelly has regressed. He should be nowhere near international football. We need to push up, and replace O'Donnell and Paton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfc Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 This is exactly the type of performance that you can't afford to have away from home in a cup tie,we have played right into there hands.ball retention has been woeful and the aimless punts up the park as the half went on is nonsense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretzel Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Frustrating so far. Back to throwing one in for the opponent. We seem quite lethargic, probably could have done with a couple of more fresh legs starting. We were getting great success with Bair by threading nice through balls not pinging it high. Struggling to deal with there long balls to the big lumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the team was freshened up and we were beat,no doubt calls as to why we change a winning team,Kettlewell should know if players are fit and ready to go,we've just not turned up yet,here's to a better second half. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
