    They are however very good loan signings and Morison should be rightly applauded for this
    Jason Koumas first loan

      I just don't think he comes across as very likeable that's all, it's not keeping me up at night

              I don't mind the early sub, if you read back through the match thread the first half the doom merchants were in overdrive, we were not playing well, even if Coventry weren't making any clear cut chances.

              Whatever the intended strategy was - it wasn't working.
              Mick would have waited until the 70th minute to make his first change, by which time the game would have been done and dusted, so to have recognised it wasn't working and decisively made changes to address that has to be applauded.

              You do wonder what the original strategy was - I've seen it speculated that we wanted a very mobile front line to aggressively press the opposition and win the ball back high up. Whether that's true or not is anyones guess.

              It wasn't good to see Watters cutting a lonely figure after he was taken off though.
              I think it's fine to dig people out occasionally, as it can yield good results. But if it is constant without the reassurance in between you'll end up with a Mourihnio situation where he undermines and victimises certain players and eventually loses the respect of the team and results drop off as a result.

                That Harry Wilson fella blew a bit hot and cold, but he was quite useful on his day.

                  Ryan Giles wasn’t too bad either.

                    Leon Barnett was hardly a spectacular loan signing, but he was just what we needed to get over the line in 12/13.

                      Bit of lecturey feel to the title of this article, but I think it’s a fair and balanced assessment.

                      The Bluebirds manager has come in for both praise and criticism for his post-match comments following the win over Coventry City

                        Ramsey, O'Neil, Koumas, Bellamy etc are all great loan signings. Obviously. But none of them had the impact that Doughty, Drameh, Hugill, Ikpeazu, and Doyle are having en masse. He also brought back Wintle.

                        I trust Morison to build a team this summer. By hook or by crook. Can you say the same about any manager since Malky? And even he had money to spend.

Why give a player 45 minutes if it's obviously not working? He seems very analytical and I get the feeling he takes time to explain to the players what he's thinking. He criticized Joel Bagen for not being bold enough going forward and got a MOM display from him. And gave him credit for it. I think Morison is the most exciting thing to happen to the City in some time. I also think that if he had a Welsh accent this forum's attitude toward him would be very different. He's saved our season. We're in playoff form. He's made the best loan signings I can remember. Let's give the guy some credit.
                          He may not have a Welsh accent but he is a an ex Welsh International

                            Also an early tactical substitution highlights failure in the original line-up. He deserves as much criticism as he does praise. If people on here were even saying Watters isn't up to it, you have to wonder why he picked him in the first place!

                              Just like Vinny Jones

                                I think there's a fair bit of recency bias in that, also they were often the only loan signings! Ramsey was brilliant when he came back, Koumas was an absolute joke and Bellamy was Bellamy. O'Neil and Inamoto were very good, shame Mandaric didn't let us buy O'Neil after Redknapp agreed. Koumas is the best loan signing though, that was the best single season from any City player in my lifetime.
