Everyone needs to calm down I am not happy with the result but I think it is what we needed the players will learn more from the defeat than 11 wins now the season will really start and we want the Scottish cup anyway and don't forget this team have been together for a few months so onwards and upwards Morton will get the back lash

I don't think we were actually as bad as was made out we hit the bar and missed a sitter. They were clinical with great goals to be honest. The goals could have been avoided with tigher marking but wr have to move on.
They are used to playing at a higher level and match so perhaps we would need a few of these games to get upto speed.
Hopefully we can go on a decent Scottish Cup run but ultimately the main goal is promtion and i'd be absolutely thrilled with that.

I have to agree camoo we made mistakes last night and got punished. If waghorn had of scored that header I think we would of levelled the match. My only criticism is that we need a strong holding midfielder to protect the back 4 and against better opposition haliday is showed up as not a holding midfielder. I'd give dominic ball ago in that position.

We had 12 shots they had 6, we had only 2 + 1, that hit the bar, on target they had 4, basically their goalie made 1 save.
We had 60 % possession and were unable to use it. Loved Warb's post match comments.
I posted recently I thought we were mid-table premier standard, last night has not changed my mind. Best of luck to St. Johnstone in the cup. I really hope we get them in he Scottish cup and see what we have learned.
I am yet to be convinced on our goalie, we all know we are light in numbers for cover in defence, midfield did not create enough and we obviously need a striker. I am convinced the manager and board well address at least most of these areas before next season.

ur right i don't think we were as bad but for the first timewe lost thhe first goal and lady luck was not with us we had our moments if waghorn had scored at 3 1 we might have got something and as i thought the centre of defence was frail but i have thought that from the start but tommy wrights tactics were spot on i must also say no blame can be attached to the goalkeeper

CAMOO
I think we were poor but agree with the rest of what you say.
It was like watching us in many European games years ago; we lacked practice at the level of speed and strength that we were up against. I am sure MW will fix one way or another and the real test will be the next top league team we play.

To be fair, they missed a sitter too.We need different options, a big target man like Hately or pros teams are getting used to us only playing on the ground

Lose 1 game and people want a target man striker again. If I never see rangers play long balls to target men I'll be delighted.

Don't know if you were being sarcastic or not fellow bear but I'm loving the ground football being played but teams are used to that would be good to get big striker in so we could change our style just a bit but to be more honest we just need a greedy targetman
