Contract for Sean Morrison?

[the other bob wilson]

Just watched the pre game media interview with Mark Hudson and he's saying that "there's a conversation to be had" with Sean Motrison about a new playing contract for him - I'm presuming he'd had to accept a fair sized pay cut if we was to stay.

If he is fit, it would be a good signing until the end of the season

I hope he stays, he's got a couple more years in him yet if he can recover fully and we don't have a better CB other than possibly Kipre, who of course, is on loan.

It feels like he's been out for about 5 years :hehe:

I think he’d make a good coach - get him working with the academy.

It's a 'no' from me.

He's been a good servant for the City since his arrival in 2014.
However, his weakness was always the tendency to get exposed through lack of pace.

Coming back from a serious ruptured ACL, approaching the age of 32? I can see it ending in tears.

A game like tomorrow where they'll be throwing everything into their forwards, and Morrison alongside Kipre and Ng would be a very strong back line, the two big lads to win the aerial battles and Ng to play it out.
Morison didn't have any pace to start with, so at nearly 32 he isn't going to get any quicker, but what he does offer (100% commitment & battling qualities) can be accommodated in certain situations

If we're going to continue with any football from the back via the midfield on the ground then Sean will be an unmitigated disaster. He hasn't played for ages, he'll be slow and can't pass. The problem as I see it is he just doesn't fit in with the current crop of players and they don't fit in with him.

I'd be much happier if we signed a footballer in January and if were are to give Morrison a contract until the end of the season that for the love of the gods he's only used off the bench.

Agree, though it seems Hudson's adopting a more 'pragmatic' approach lately. Maybe playing from the back isn't such a priority for him.

Re: Contract for Sean Morrison?

we have been soft at corners both ends of the pitch, Sean certainly offers at both ends

Re: Contract for Sean Morrison?

Wouldn't get in the XI but without a doubt would have him in for situations like Tuesday instead of the disaster that is Nelson. A no brainer until the end of the season for me.

The current crop of players and the balance isnt anywhere near good enough. The last thing we need is more lighweight players.

As Blue Matt says he will be a presence in both boxes. Something we are badly lacking.

A fit Morrison is a no brainer. Is he going to be fit enough?

Get MacGuiness back as well.

First person to mention a pay as you play gets a virtual egg thrown at them

I agree he is still a good player and is good to have around. He can add value in certain games and maybe he could play with Kipre and NG to play as a fullback again. Kipre and Morrison should stop some of the set play goals we concede and would add to our set plays and offer much more of a threat from corners.

Re: Contract for Sean Morrison?

End of season, if he's close to match fit by the end of the WC break.

I think he's done. But he's a leader, has physical presence and six months won't do the club any harm.

A leader
