Morton away March2024

A visit to the form team

 

Morton host Inverness on Saturday at 3:00pm. They are unbeaten over ninety minutes in their last 17 outings, including a 5-0 pumping of the Pars, a 3-2 win at Tannadice and they also knocked Motherwell out of the Scottish Cup. It wasn't that long ago Morton were below us in the table and now they are in contention for a play-off place at the top end of the table. Us, on the other hand, have slumped to ninth in the table with the distinct possibility of making a play-off place as well. Unfortunately, that's at the relegation end of the table.

We hold a fair advantage over Morton but most of that will be historical. More recently the pendulum has swung towards the Greenock club although we did take a point from the last encounter with them played at the Caledonian Stadium 0 - 0

Our last meeting at Cappielow ended in a 1 - 2 victory for the hosts. Sloppy Stuff in Greenock:  Wallace Duffy missed out with a calf injury with Jake Davidson getting a rare start and the paternal David Carson was still on maternity leave. Good to see Roddy Macgregor was on the bench following another lengthy layoff through injury alongside Sean Welsh and Nathan Shaw. Morton had three players that were on our books recently. Defender Kirk Broadfoot, wide player Stephen Boyd and striker George Oakley. And it was that man Oakley that gave Morton the lead after errors in defence. Jack Baird smashed in a second ten minutes from time. Adam Brooks added a late consolation, but it was too little too late in Greenock as the revolution ground to a halt. 

Last Week

Inverness have failed to beat two of their relegation candidates over the last week. A 1-1 draw at Arbroath, thanks to a late Cammy Harper strike, was followed by a goalless draw at home to Dunfermline in a rather turgid encounter as injuries curtailed the quality of both sides. Last Five: L D 

Morton have no such issues after 17 unbeaten games. This week saw them gain four points with a win against Airdrie and a draw at Stark's Park against promotion chasing Raith Rovers, where Morton were unlucky not to come away with all three points having created the better chances. Last Five: .

image.pngIt's not difficult to spot that none of the Inverness players feature in the top scorers list. However Robbie Muirhead and George Oakley of Morton are included.

Ferguson has massive injury problems ahead of this game. The latest disaster has Charlie Gilmour out for the rest of the season. Just what we need with only ten games left to save our season. Nathan Shaw will miss a couple of weeks with a hamstring injury. Max Anderson should return after suspension. 

Portugese and Czech players on trial this week, we'll see how that goes. In the meantime, the Caley Jags are delighted to announce the signing of midfielder Samson Lawal on loan from Livingston until the end of the season. Lawal, 19 years-old, joined Livingston on a 3-year deal in August 2023 from Nigerian side Katsina United.  

We've got injuries, haven't we>>>

 

 

Unbeaten in 17 games, Morton are on a high just now and are looking to get into second place soon.

  • A great away day when no ICT fan really expected 3 points but went in hope of at least 1.   Wow - what a game, from Billy’s goal in 77 seconds, there seemed no way ICT would go home without points.

Just tell Big Dunc not to disrupt the team by bringing on subs....

Hopefully we can keep this action up and take a win up the road.A long way to go but 9th playing 4th we are doing okay.I said if we can get four points from today and last week we will be doing well.

Hopefully some on here who continually beat the doom and gloom drum,will give the boys a chance.

Sounds like they are kicking hell out of Alex Samuel :sad:

Tactics worked, he's off injured.

McAllister kicked off the park too. Another injury

4 players booked on each side.  That plus the injuries would suggest that the referee didn't have much control of the game.

Well done to all, superb effort!

Imrie style of football to get physical when losing.Well done to a first class effort from a depleted squad.Do the same next week and we will finally get away from the bottom.

Delighted to be proved wrong certainly did not see that one coming. 
Absolutely over the moon for Billy McKay after last weeks debacle.

…and the best prediction of the season - you nailed it! 😀
