Re: MARK HUDSON SACKED

We played better football and were slightly more threatening under Morison. I’m confident we’d be in a better position but we’ll never know

City failed to score in six of the eleven games Morison was in charge of this season. The last of those games was a 1-0 defeat at Huddersfield - a team so bad they've yet to be out of the relegation zone this season. If City were more threatening under Morison, then let's be honest - the difference was so slight as to be barely noticeable.

Yeah we weren’t exactly setting the world on fire goal scoring wise but were playing much better football.

How could it be better if we weren't scoring goals or winning games?

I didn’t see anything as bad as our last four league games under Morison this season - we had weaknesses and there’s no great difference between the records of Morison and Hudson, but I saw more potential for improvement early in the season than I do now.

Re: MARK HUDSON SACKED

Results are what matter, but I thought we were clearly a better team under Morison, or at least it looked like we had a coherent plan and had much more of a cutting edge. Ultimately what did him in was Watters and Harris not putting the ball in the back of the net, which admittedly was a problem of his own making, but in terms of chances created and actually looking like a team who hadn't been thrown together in the bar the night before on the back of a napkin, it was night and day Morison to Hudson IMO.

And ultimately whether you agree or disagree, sacking a manager you've let sign 17 players just to let his assistant with less managerial experience take a crack at the job in the hopes thing get better is not the sign of a sanely run club. If we'd got an experienced manager in to replace Morison I'd have been fine with the firing, but that's not what happened and we are not in a better position now.

Re: MARK HUDSON SACKED

I agree with much of that. However the immediate priority must be to avoid relegation. So what do we need? A rookie manager or a man with experience? Surely the club can't continue with their continual sackings of people with no experience. I believe the Board must know that. I don't think either there was no substance in the Warnock rumours last week. It seems obvious to me that Warnock is the man if he agrees to come. That may well be the best we can get at the moment and let's face it he has a pretty good record.. At least a Warnock appointment until the end of the season would give the club time to find a longer term appointment.

I've said elsewhere I'd take Warnock, certainly until the end of the season.

They played differently but neither approach was successful in any way.

I’ve haven’t honestly noticed much difference in the way be played under both managers.

They gave Morison £1.5 million which no one expected us to spend to bring in a forward who is a step up from the sort of names we were being linked with and then sacked him a fortnight later. All I’m saying is that I saw more potential for improvement under Morison - perhaps I’d have been proved wrong, but we never got the chance to find out.

Oh come on you must have. Some of our passing moves under Morison from defence to attack were quality. Under Hudson we can’t string two passes together.

Didn’t look much difference to me , I actually thought it was mainly down to losing the left back.

Robinson is a good signing, I think he’s a good player but he’s not a centre forward. I don’t think too much would have changed because he’s not the player we needed. You could argue we needed him on the left or in behind, but we don’t have a centre forward. Even Burnley play Rodriguez or Barnes

Spot on. It could be seen what we were trying to achieve, even if we were inconsistent. Given the number of new players and the late signing of Robinson this should have improved. We have made no progress under Hudson and there was no clear game plan. The team selections also became more inconsistent.

I totally agree.
Had a small amount of faith it might have clicked under Morison or he at least would have found a way.
Under Hudson it was a joke.

Re: MARK HUDSON SACKED

I couldn’t believe the team at the start yesterday, where 2 of our better performers, Kipre and Robinson, were on the bench against the bottom team. Whoever comes in, needs to be brought in quickly, as there are only 2 weeks of the window left to try and improve the team.
