Morrison needs a narrow back 4 with an athletic partner (Sol even Nelson). He doesn't need his mirror image of Flint as we saw in the last days of Warnock. We got away with the back 3 last season as you had to respect our wing-backs. As soon as Bennett was injured the wheels started to fall off.
I don't think the players have downed tools, but they know every team in the football league has sussed us. You play in the gaps between the 3 centre-halves. You hit us on the transition and we are so slow we can't stop you.
Morrison was never quick but he was mobile and savvy enough to stop you in a tight backline. The problem is he is patroling the area he would pull the right back over to cover and all those injuries, maybe age but definitely Micks tactics are publically exposing every weakness in his game.
Flint looks better as he is playing his natural position
Then we have bacuna who was bought as a CM and cover right back playing as a wide forward
So the only members playing in their preferred position are the Goalie who looks lost, Flint, Pack and maybe Moore but he has no natural attacking midfielders. Its all a bit of a mess, but one that could be remedied with new tactics or coach
