Steve Morison

Re: Steve Morison

Couldn’t one of the seventeen players he has brought in been a striker ? Just saying.

Whereas strikers will always be at a premium, you are spot on here. Why are we scrambling around for strikers with 2 days of the transfer window to go, especially seeing as the rest of the transfers seem to have been methodically planned out?

Also, I can't understand why it has taken Morison this long to realise that Watters and Davies are not up to Championship standard when it has been clearly evident to large parts of the fanbase for ages now. And Morison used to be a striker as well......:shrug:

Morison scored a goal in a little over every six games at this level. Clearly he know what it takes to be a low scoring striker in the Championship.

I wouldn't mind betting that he's probably regretting letting Collins go right now, although we don't know what kind of salary he was on.
He'd certainly give us more in that role than what we currently have though.
A day and a bit left of the window, let's see if he can pull a rabbit out of the hat.

Collins was by far one of the worst strikers we've had at the club

Worse than Harris or Watters in a number 9 role?

Agreed.

I really don’t think that Collins was the answer either. I wasn’t disappointed to see him leave, as I wouldn’t be if Watters or Harris left.

Re: Steve Morison

This thread beggars belief. I have just read it through and it has certainly given me some entertainment I suppose. How people with such little obvious knowledge about football and the way the transfer market works can put themselves forward and spout such utter nonsense is beyond me. The board have backed Morison in a total rebuild of the squad and we have already signed 15 new players, something that is unprecedented in our and most other clubs histories. Finding a suitable striker to fit in with the way we want to play was always going to be the hardest part of the jigsaw. At the first sign of trouble the usual suspects are ready to jump ship - apparently ‘the manager is useless, certain players are useless, the board is useless, the club is a basket case’. God, the dire situation has even brought that perennial Cardiff City hater blue lewj back out of the woodwork to spout his vitriol. Support the team and manager through this transitional period and enjoy the quality of football that we are trying to play would be my advice but I know that is bound to fall on deaf ears, as the main protagonists ramp up their ‘get Morison and the board out’ campaign. Until we win a couple of games of course and they will scuttle off again for a while.

Other than the jab at a poster this maybe your best ever post. It’s certainly the one I agree most with, and this is indeed a car crash of a thread

I made the point last week which I'll make again ; it's better to get anything that's an improvement on what we have at present, and maybe Morison has to compromise on his criteria. Having said that, I do think we'll see a couple of strikers before the window closes. In the few months he's been in charge the one thing we know is he usually does the transfer-business thing quite well..

Do you think we look like scoring? And what clear cut chances have we missed? We don't create anything, at all.

We are passing the ball around in harmless areas, which teams like Luton will just sit back, and then hit us on the break. They could and should have won by 3 or 4 nil last night.

This isn't the first sign of trouble, things have been pretty dire going forwards under Morison since he's taken over, and we are 15% of the way through the season and we've scored 4 goals. One was a fluke, one a header from a cross, one a great strike from distance and the other was a well worked goal. It's extremely worrying and it isn't solely down to a lack of a striker.

Final third of the pitch is weak, the strikers can't score and the attacking midfielders can't attack or assist, the rest of the team is pretty good!

I was supporting Morison you plum.
I want the board to back him. If overseeing a rebuild is signing players on frees on a fraction of what the players leaving were on then I suppose they have.

I want them to back him with a striker or two that we clearly need.

You might think I'm negative. I think you're blinkered and see no wrong with the club or the people there. The truth is probably somewhere in between.

We're playing just like the crap Huddersfield team that Hudson coached under the Cowley brothers a few years ago - lots of ineffective passing and awful in both penalty areas.
