Isaak Davies

[bigjoe]

what Morison reportedly said:
"I love the kid, he's a great player. I've given him all his opportunities."

what he could have said:
"He's a great young player. He's taking the opportunities we're giving him".

Re: Isaak Davies

I think what he said is fine, he was asked about his comments so defending himself. I disagreed with his original comments but I don’t see why we now have to dissect every thing he says or spin it. You would do that with every managers interview.

yep, totally agree.

he also said that he (Davies) doesn't have anything to prove to him as he already knows how good he is.

Re: Isaak Davies

I think if you f*ck up you own it and apologise/acknowledge it. We all have bad days and say/do things in the heat of the moment but you can't hide from it. I agree there's no point in dissecting everything but at the same time I feel he needs to ditch the shovel and stop digging.

Like you disagreed with his comments initially but in answering this question from the press he has filled in the gaps in his approach to supporting the player

Foe me happy with that and let's move on as Davies certainly stood up yesterday topped with a quality goal

For sure. I'd like to think so.

Re: Isaak Davies

I said at the time, Morison obviously knows ID well enough, and knows what he can say to / about the lad without causing issues, he might have had a private chat with him aswell

you have to trust that Morison knows the relationship they have and leave it now, it seems a few are very hung up over what happened without knowing the full story / relationship of the pair of them

Might SM suggest in private that ID shaves off his 'tache ('shaves' might be too strong a word)?

And yet Danny Gabbidon - who is acting as a mentor to Davies since his time at the club and is close to his family - who has experience of being a young professional footballer trying to make the grade, choose to criticise Morison. He is better judged than anyone to “know the full story / relationship” between the pair.

It’s not just the fans can see what he said wasnt the done thing to a rookie, seasoned professionals like Gabbidon, and Iwan Roberts too, have been critical because it’s just not the done thing hanging a kid out to dry in public like that.

Let’s hope Morison learned his lesson and doesn’t make a habit of it.

I suspect SM knows ID better than most on here, being his coach for a while and all that

Doesn't detract from the fact that SM is dogshit at interviews

When the pressure starts building especially if we continue to fall into the relegation zone, what SM says will have more bearing than ever
