Morison comes across as a bit "don't suffer fools gladly" which reminds me a bit of a lot of english ex-pros come managers....a bit like Gerrard or Parker. The problem with that type of personality is that the technical and tactical side of their game has to be spot on as they can't necessarily rely on being personable in order to get a response from the players.
On top of that, he has signed virually a new starting eleven which means he'll have to be tactically clever in order to get them playing well. They didn't look particularly great passers of the ball and they didn't seem to have indivuidaul brilliance in the game I saw on the weekend.
If you are not tactically adept as a manager, if you have a first eleven that don't really know eachother and are not particularly gifted, If you don't have a anger who can inspire a fighting spirit........ It doesn't look great on paper.
I thinkk I probably caught a not so good example of how this team can play and had I watched the Norwich game I undoubtedly would have had the opposite impression.
With regards the patience of those in charge, I'd give him until the end of October and if we only have a win and a draw to show for it, he'll be moved on. I also agree that , it is not wise to let someone buy an raft of new players and then sack him but when has that ever stopped Tan/Mehmet.
If it were down to me I would have restructred the way we recruit altogether and not left that down to the first team coach. But anyway.
