Morton fuck me

[DE.]

We've done the right thing in dialling down the tempo and getting our shape back. Our rampant attacking had left us wide open at the back, and a Premiership team was always going to exploit that eventually, especially as we've failed to take so many chances. Just got to see if we can hold out now. Looking difficult but we can do it. Really need to stop giving away possession though. The lads are looking tired now and mistakes are creeping in.

Ffs again Dolan does brilliant to hold it up then Morton just absolutely Morton’s it 

[Trinidad Rover]

Morton off PLEASE

Morton i s a flaming liability. Turns our attack into a chance for them...

They ALL played well. 

Including Morton.

Absolutely not, we had a nightmare and i take no pleasure in saying that but has to be said. Been woeful.

[Bohinen1983]

Morton should have been subbed about 25 minutes ago- he's a liability.

[neophox]

Come on Rovers!!

[RTM08]

Every single time they come forwards it's Morton dallying about. How on earth has he come from Liverpool of all teams?

Morton losing the fecking ball again when he's got four players around him to pass to. Absolute liability.

[Rochdale_rover]

As I was reading this, he gave the ball away unnecessarily when we had possession in their final third, they countered and had a chance.

He isn't good enough.

[Displaced Rover]

At the start of the season who would have thought we’d look significantly worse defensively with Brittain at RB over JRC?!?

[Mike E]

Oooft, this is brave....

Or stupid...

[neophox]

Morton off Buckley on..

Hedges off and Phillips on..

[OsloRover]

Phillips and Buckley on for Morton and Hedges

[Tugayisgod]

Back 3 with Phillips coming on

[neophox]

Three at the back

[DE.]

That's some statement bringing on Phillips at this stage. JDT must have a lot of faith in the lad. Let's hope it pays off.

Commentators bigging Ash up - which is a worry

Is everyone using their eyes and saying Morton has been a liability a Debbie Downer? Some just go against the grain for the sake of it. As clear a bad game as you will see.

I've not been as critical of him as some on here, but his second half tonight has been several shades lower than the rest of the team.

Scared on the ball, wasteful and just putting the pressure back onto us, when they were on top.

Hopefully we've got away with it.

[DeeCee]

If it goes to e/t we're gone 😞

Come on rovers
