Morton Back down to earth

-

I guess I deserved Saturday’s result. I spoke too positively about the management team and the squad, so I guess it’s only fair, in typical Morton fashion, that we came crashing back down to earth with a bang. Following back-to-back wins over Queen of the South and Partick Thistle, confidence was high heading into our clash against struggling Alloa Athletic. Perhaps confidence was too high – as a stuttering performanc­e saw Alloa pick up all three points. We could dwell on the controvers­ial penalty decisions that, in the end, won the visitors the game, but we’d be papering over the cracks of a disappoint­ing performanc­e. It further enhances the worry that this team lack consistenc­y. Johansson must address this, and fast.
