 Morton manager Jim Duffy enjoyed the weekend away win on Saturday evening and believes it could have a bearing on where his side finish up in the Scottish Championship table at the end of the season. Sub Kudus Oyenuga scored the only goal of the game with a late header to record their second consecutive 1-0 win whilst being shown live on BBC Alba. Duffy felt it was a game that could have gone either way and so is the type of outcome that could prove significant at the end of the season.Duffy said: "It was an outstanding result. I didn’t think it was the best game between the two teams or that either team played at their best. But it was one of those games where, without being at your best, we managed to nick the points, and that type of result over the course of a season can be vital in terms of your points tally and where you end up. It’s an important win because of the stage of the season we’re at, and also against one of the in-form teams in the league as well. These are games that could swing one way or the other: you could lose it 1-0 or win it 1-0. They are very, very tight. All the games between us have been tight. And the turning point was Gats’ save right on half-time, an absolutely incredible save, and it’s literally the last kick of the ball at half-time. If they score then going 1-0 up it would have been difficult for us. But he made the save, and I thought we were a bit better in the second half, similar to Queen of the South the previous week." The Morton manager want on: "We passed the ball a bit better and scored a terrific goal. On the counter-attack we might have scored another couple, but that would have been harsh on Falkirk if truth be told, because they put us under a but of pressure as well. But the things that we had to do, we did well – and that was stay organised, keep our concentration and be difficult to break down. When you’re not playing as fluently as you’d like to, these things can get you over the line in a tight game. The work ethic and attitude has been outstanding, so if you ally those things with good organisation, even if you’re not at your best, there’s still a chance you can pick the points up, even an extremely difficult place like Falkirk. It’s something I think we’ve done against some very good sides, and if we can keep that resilience going until the end of the season then we’ll finish strongly. And that’s what we want to do: finish as strongly as we can." |
