Morton -V- Inverness CT - Preview-Streaming-Matchday

If at first you don't succeed

 

It's the second time of trying to get this match played (postponed from Boxing Day) and that will be the same for another handful of games as a combination of snow, ice, Scottish Cup and covid19 have decimated our campaign. We will be playing catch-up for the foreseeable future with postponed Championship games against Arbroath, Queen of the South, Raith Rovers and Alloa to come, not to mention cup games against Buckie Thistle and possibly Ross County.

Our last game was a 1-1 draw with Dunfermline on 29th December. Almost one month ago. Morton drew at Ayr that day and the same 1-1 scoreline at Alloa four days later. They have drawn with the Pars since then and went down 2-1 at Dumfries last Saturday. Not the most profitable period for Morton, but at least they have been active.

Latest Team News

Kai Kennedy is now at Raith Rovers and he will be a big miss. Lewis Toshney and Kevin McHattie are not ready for action after long term injuries. Robbo has hinted that there are a couple of new niggly injuries that may require rest with a busy schedule coming up. I wonder if Wallace Duffy, Aaron Doran and David Carson might have benefitted from the enforced lay off and will be looking to get involved with the squad

Morton

Morton team v QotS: McAdams, Ledger, Fjortoft, McGinty, Strapp (Oliver 78′), McAlister, Lyon, Salkeld, Colville, Nesbitt, Orsi

Given the amount of Previews wasted recently, that's all your getting. Meh!

After losing to Raith Rovers on Saturday, the Jambos gained ample revenge by pumping Raith 4-0 at Stark's Park tonight. Hendry of Rovers was sent off before the break.

Hopefully the Caley players can now get their mojo working. 😁 shake off the rust and play for a win. Most games in the championship are close this season so keep the concentration level high. Three points would be handy...

I’ve paid Morton £14 for the game tonight. I hope the players make it worthwhile. 

After all the postponements, I’m really looking forward to it and, with it being an evening game, the beer is chilling already for kick off.

Good man Robert, you are on the report for tonight then...

You missed my reference to beer. I may make comments along the way but they may get less coherent so best that someone else tries to do the report!!

We are actually playing a game!!

But 1 behind in third minute. We’ve not been out of our own half so far.

Shot inside the box after scrappy play in the box after a free kick.

1-0 Morton

YASSSSSSSSS

1-1 Shane Sutherland

[+Robert 1,198]

Great goal. 2-1 up. Dan Mackay with good finish from Sutherland (I think) through ball.

Thanks. BBC say Doran which is why I doubled myself.

Looks that way. Sutherland up top and 5 in the middle when not in possession with Doran wide left and Mackay wide right. Welsh and Allardice sitting deeper in the main.

Morton down to 10 men 

[+Robert 1,198]

Deserved. Two professional fouls. 

[+snorbens_caleyman 522]

Disagree.  Didn't think that second one was a booking.  Harsh.

Full marks to the Morton commentators for accepting it so well.

[+Robert 1,198]

My immediate reaction was “that’s a booking”.

Agree the commentators took it well.

We need to continue playing and not let this slip. 

[WYNESS101 430]

Morton are going all out at the moment since they have gone down to 10 men

[+Robert 1,198]

Morton goal disallowed for push by player before he headed it in.

Nice to see the odd decision going our way!

[+Robert 1,198]

Decent half of football with both teams trying to play football.

Our quick equaliser was very important as Morton started very quickly.

This game is not won, despite them being down to 10. We need to play the whole game tonight.

Vincent’s performance has been a pleasant surprise and good to see Sutherland playing centre forward.

MacKay’s goal the pick of the action so far.
