Superally Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 It’s a true 6 pointer on Sat when we head along to Cappilow to face Morton who are a single point behind us at the bottom of the League. Its simples - lose and we are bottom, 2 points behind. Win, and its 4 points ahead of bottom place with the potential if results go our way (and in truth we need them to) we could be in 7th spot. Nothing like being a tad melodramatic here but I think this could be one of our most important games this season. Morton like us have won only two games this season and recent form hasn’t been kind. Their past 5 games have brought them 2pts The Pars have fared slightly better bringing home 5 pts over the same period. Morton have had the better of us this season with a draw at Cappilow and a utter spanking at EEP where we stuffed 3-1 with Todd scoring with a header. Notably it was our first match without Peter Grant with Greg Shields taking the team. The team has been shaken up with a few personnel changes and perhaps with more to come. However, I do feel we probably have a wee bit more momentum than Morton atm so I’ll go for a optimistic 2-1 away win for the Pars.

Piracy Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 It's a definite must win, but we rarely do through there. A hopeful 2-1 fmPars win for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the saline hill puma Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 Unless we get some decent midfielders we won't win,we might scrape abother draw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
langtounpar Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Or, Dorrans puts in another performance similar to the Rovers game last week! One of his best all season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Morton being without Oskansen will be good, he's one of there better players from the first half of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzPar Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 We need to win this one. In many respects, this is way more than a six-pointer. If we don't win, it is surely inevitable that we will begin to hear supporters baying for Yogi's blood. We all know that it is way too early for this to happen, but who out there thinks that it won't? Sadly this is a feature of the game these days. Once it starts, if we happen to be sitting bottom of the league, then the manager has a hell of a job on his hands to reverse that public sentiment. We end up in a negative vortex with relegation a near certainty and an even more giant mountain to climb next season. That said, I'll go for a scrappy 1-0 win for the Pars. Don't let us down at Cappielow, lads! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 I don't think things are that bad yet Oz, I'm not Yogis biggest fan but it's far too early for that. He'll quite rightly get the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyboy Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Probably a dire 0-0. We need to gub somebody soon. Think either Morton, QOS or us will go down. Infact probably 2 will be relegated. I thought Ayr looked ****e, last time at EEP. Once this window closes, it going to be interesting. Hamilton seems to have picked up.

kelty_par Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 If we don’t win this one I’ll be very worried, we play Hamilton and queen of the south this month too, we really need to pick the points up or I can’t see where we’ll turn it around 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superally Posted January 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 No more new signings but I would expect to see more from Lawless and the introduction of Donaldson. Dorans may return after being out last week. Yogi may set us up not to get beat but this will be a golden opportunity to get a win and create a bit of space. If results go our way we may end up 7th but the important thing is not to lose and we should aim to pull those teams above us into the mire.

COYP I hope pybus isn’t dropped for Dorrans, he was by far our best player I thought on Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Army Par Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 Dorrans will come in no doubt, but I think Paul Allan will drop out for him. Allan is best in the holding role but he's competing with Dorrans for that spot. When we played Allan in the more advanced central midfield role against Arbroath, he was instinctively slowing the play down and turning backwards. Pybus should keep is place, but Matty Todd needs replaced. I just don't think he is good enough. I hope there will soon be a new signing to take that spot in the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1950Par Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 Wins for :- The Pars, The Lichtie's, Partick and Killie would get us up to 7th COYP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Eleven Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 Game day! A massive 3 points available for the winner of today’s match. Unfortunately the great win over Ayr has been a rare bright point in the season so far so I expect Yogi’s approach will be to keep things tight as we seen wide open when attacking. With Lewis Martin back in the squad my mind goes back to his debut when a side devastated by administration secured a great win in Greenock against the best Morton side in recent history. John Potter was excellent that day, talking his youthful teammates through the game. The same result today would be very welcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the saline hill puma Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) 0-5... In all seriousness, it would be good if Allan and pybus played as the deeper midfielders and dorrans played further forward where he can use his quality at the top end of the park, he is useless coming deep to get the ball and ends up just passing it between him and our defenders and we go nowhere while giving the other team time to get organised. If the above happens would allow Dow to be played wide again also rather than being lost in central midfield Edited January 8, 2022 by the saline hill puma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
