Going by that game today.
Formation correct
Team selection correct
Tactics correct
Signings correct
Players right up for it.
His attitude isn't the best but we look alot better to watch under him than the previous few managers..
This post could possibly come back and bite me on the ass but if we play like that against a few of the teams we have coming up i think we will do really well.
Just a positive post :ayatollah::ayatollah:
How about those who have posted very abusive personal comments about him (there's just one acually, as usual) and wrung their hands over his press conferences say something about this game?
Did that team seem together? Isn't that what matters?
Well done Morison, today was exactly what most people hoped for on the appointment being made.
:ayatollah:
Liked the look of the team today….nice
TBF if you purchase quality you get quality, and in turn uplifts everyone, the new players were excellent, I thought Morrison , Ralls and NG raised their game due the improved quality around them .
The one pleasing positive was their tenacity to win the second ball.
It's was good a good game to be at .
Best game I've seen us play for quite some time .
Only one game but his signings look decent to and may get sharper with more game time.. :ayatollah:Quote:

Totally different without pack and Nelson.
Great new signings.
You could be right. It must have been hard for him to take the job with a lack of players who can adapt and play the way he wants to.Quote:

Can certainly see what he is trying to do with the new signings.
I’m not sure what some people expected or who they thought we could bring in but I think he has done well considering he has jumped up from the U23s.
I’m not one of those trying to twist everything to make out he is the worse and neither do I think he’s the best thing since sliced bread. It is what it is, he has taken over a hard situation after MM. Time to judge will be the end of the season and then the club need to review and not panic like they did with MM.
Agree. There was more energy out there today, The kid from Leeds is an Athlete and some, hopefully, as time goes by he becomes more composed. The most pleasing thing for me is that we didn't show Forest any respect, we were on the front foot for a large portion of the game and we saw the two flanked central defenders stepping out. Doyle looks like he has an idea in his head before he receives the ball and Ralls was actually afforded some time on the ball today and the chance to get into the final third in good positions due to his team mates along side him. Much better, well done Morison and the players.Quote:

his post match interview on Sky was very good and inspired confidence that he does know what he's doing.
Yes he certainly deserves a lot of praise today. Without Pack, Nelson, Bacuna and Vaulks we look an entirely different team. In fairness his signings have been first class. I still don't like his attitude but hopefully that will change with experience. But if he keeps selecting this team I can see us going from strength to strength.
:thumbup: this was always the case, he only had players from previous managers to pick from ( apart from the his players from the U23, who might or might not have been upto the job ) and they were used to playing a certain wayQuote:

One swallow as they say but the signs are better than they've been for a while now.
Totally agree - didn't like his comment about Davies but he apologised - don't mind his prickliness if I'm honest better than the bored look on mccarthy face who obviosuly found a gift of a last pay packet before reverting to talking bollocks in the studio or the vacuous phrasebook of Warnock that he trots out at every clubQuote:

Most wanted a change of style we are in transition to that but it takes time
I agree with all of that :thumbup:Quote:

What a sad indiment that is on those players
They are that good that we haven't recieved a single bit of interest in any of them
I hope we never see any of them in a City shirt again
Bottlers the lit of them
U ok hun?Quote:

Totally agree and I hope we see the last of them. However in fairness to them I don't think they're bottlers they just haven't the ability for the Championship.Quote:

The problem is they are incapable of adapting to Plan B or Plan C. It looks like Ng is more than capable.
Today we saw the future, and it looks pretty good.
Morison definitely presents as someone not to be trifled with in a dispute down the local boozer.
But he's been mean to men in their 20s. And apparently, their dads don't like it. I don't think I can live with it. I might not sleep tonight.
Fit in well with half our fan base then….:hehe:Quote:
