Morton midfielder Harry Cochrane insists the goals will come after the Ton’s five-game scoring drought continued in a 1-0 defeat to Partick Thistle. League standing: 8th in Championship, 0 pts, 0W-0D-1L from 1 game, recent form L.
What happened against Partick Thistle?
Cochrane admitted the late 1-0 loss was a bitter pill to swallow but highlighted positives in Morton’s performance. The Cappielow side created more chances than in previous weeks, with Eamonn Brophy’s return providing a focal point in attack.
Why is Brophy’s return significant?
The striker’s inclusion allowed Morton’s creative players to push forward, increasing their attacking threat. Cochrane noted Brophy’s ability to hold up play and bring others into the game, despite not being fully fit after a lengthy injury lay-off.
What’s next for Morton?
The Ton face Stenhousemuir away on 2027-01-09, with Cochrane urging the squad to focus on the positives. Goals this season: 0 scored, 1 conceded (-1 goal difference). He believes the team’s hard work will soon pay off, with the squad’s young talents like Dean Black and Aaron Greenock stepping up.
Cochrane, now one of the more experienced players in a youthful side, stressed the importance of supporting the younger members through the challenges of Championship football.
