100% this. Doesn't look, like a football shirt.

I think Slattery is a very capable player, and when fit and on his game, he is very effective. My main concern with Slattery is his obsession with looking for soft fouls by going to ground far too easily. His game would Improve immensely if he'd stay on his feet whenever he can. I'm happy to retain his services at the club, but I hope that when he does get back that it is the player that we saw early last season and not the shadow of himself that he can became.

Well that's the season over and like a number of others, I'm glad to see the back of it. A season that started brightly, sank to unbelievable depths in the over-long winless run and then recovered enough to see us safe from relegation and play-off places. The 9th place finish is about right. I don't believe that we are better than any of the teams that finished above us and only 3 points taken from St.Johnstone might suggest that we are lucky not to be 10th. As for the football, in my opinion, it has generally been dreadful to watch; our ball retention is very poor and defensive organisation is awful, but we do seem to be able to score goals. Someone will have to explain to me how we manage the goal-scoring, because I don't see a creative pattern to our play. There have been some worldies this season, maybe more than we are used to (thanks Blair Spittal), but that doesn't explain why we are so high in the goal-scoring chart. I have no idea what we'll get next season. Another close season with a huge rebuild required. I'll be there though, like so many others that contribute to this forum. COYW

Yeah, just saying that it is a game of differing opinions. I agree that Gent and Davor got pass marks. In fact, i gave my vote to Gent. I don't really remember SODs doing much wrong and he did have a nice assist for the goal, but not enough for my vote.
-
It's all about opinions.
-
Gent for me, but mention for Casey who was solid today.
-
Yeah, that isn't the point that I'm making. We can score against teams that open up a bit. Especially those that play high and leave space behind. What we are not good at is taking penalty box chances. There were multiple half chances today that were not finished because we don't have an instinctive or natural striker.
-
I understand the point that you are making, but it is a very black and white view of things. By that logic every team that loses any match deserves to lose, regardless of the circumstances. I'll view it on the balance of play, chances created, etc. and let's agree to differ. A draw would have seemed a fair result to me.
-
I can't agree with that. We weren't good enough to win, but we certainly didn't deserve to lose. Far too passive in the game in the first half, better in the second, but no real goal-scoring forwards is a problem. We don't have anyone that can convert half chances. A draw would probably have been the right result.
-
Exactly this. We give too many teams the initiative in games.
-
Exactly this for me. Vale's energy and pace disrupted the Livingston lines. Something that we were incapable in the first half when we consistently played sideways and back.
-
Well, that was a surprise and a very well worked goal. COYW.
-
Strolling about the back doing nothing to try to unlock Morton. Disgraceful application and performance.
-
Why does Paton try to pass there. 2-0 down and we still won't shoot when we get to the edge of the box.
-
Dreadful by McGinn in the middle left us wide open. Absolutely done now.
-
Game over
-
Totally agree, Blair is completely anonymous. No service at all. He needs to play off the shoulder of the last defender.
-
Need to get to half-time at no more than 1 and rally in the 2nd half. First half performance has been poor. No energy. Losing battles all over the pitch.
-
Terrible by Kelly.
-
1-0 Morton
-
We seem to be outnumbered all over the pitch. Only able to play one pass and then an aimless punt. Does not bode well right now.
-
Morton are beginning to boss this game.
-
Not making anything happen in an attacking sense.
-
I have the fear every time the ball goes into our box. We don't handle cross balls well at all. Lucky to get away with that one.
