Hartley left the board due to Cardiff giving Morison a new contract. :hehe:

Agree with that.
I think Morison has made a few mistakes and handled some things badly but overall you have to give him huge credit.
We are still evolving our football under Morison and even with the loan players that was always a big ask considering our starting 11 under MM consisted of 5 centreback, three defensive midfielders, a converted wingback and an out of form striker - who was isolated both on the pitch due to lack of service and off the pitch due to covid!
People forget that this is Morisons first senior manager role and despite a few hiccups done really well.
Of course in any team and any fanbase there are critiques the fans would want to make... would like to see more of Sam Bowen and would like to see Colwill more... but in reality these are minor changes.
As for Nathan Jones - wonderful for Luton and manager of the season.. I hope they go up.
When Nathan Jones took over at Luton they were a League 2 club, at that level you would expect some Managers to be learning their trade. Of course managers will continue their learning at whatever level they are at, but I don't think an established Championship club should be a place where a Manager learns their trade.
I think there is being critical of a manager and then looking for reasons to have a go at him like some were doing. Some seemed to want us to fail just to have a dog at him because he isn’t all fluffy in his interviews.
I agree he hasn’t got everything spot on from the off but I think that has to be expected considering his lack of experience. He stepped in when we had few option, no money and struggling to get a shot on target nevermind score a goal or thinking of picking up points.
I think the turn around has been remarkable and my point was if someone like Wilder had come in and done exactly the same and said exactly the same then in my opinion it would have been more accepted.
Where should they go to learn how to become managers of established Championship clubs, then? League 2? Then we'd have fans saying we shouldn't be bringing in managers from League 2 sides.
Sadly there are some who think that unless a manager hasn't been there, done it and bought the t-shirt, they're not fit to manage Cardiff City. It's an approach that has worked so well over the last 20 years that we keep losing our managers to bigger clubs....
Because some people always find things to moan about.
If we had got an older manager in then they would complain about being in the dark ages.
Give a young manager a chance and that is wrong.
Not sure what Morrison could have done better with results to be honest.
Even though our manager played nearly all his career in the championship you don't think he deserves a chance after the turn around in our results and performances?
Also if Nathan Jones came in and had the effect he had at Stoke then we might be still in a relegation battle.
Did you notice how bad he was there.
He might only be able to get the best out of a team at a certain club
It does happen.
Anyone who says that Morison hasn't exceeded expectations is lying to themselves. He's earned his chance. I'm interested to see what he does next season.

from reading this analysis of his tactics, it seems pretty similar to the way we have started to play under SM.
3-5-2 with a deep no. 6, conceding the lions share of possession bit attacking quickly and directly when you have the ball.
It's so predictable that as soon as a manager has a modicum of success with another club, there is an outcry from some on here to sign him up in the belief that he'll be able to replicate that success at our club. Nathan Jones is currently in vogue. A little while back it was Michael Flynn.
As this comes at a time when our incumbent manager has exceeded all expectations beggars belief. Anything bar relegation this season would have been deemed a relative success to many after MM's tenure came to an end but to transform the side in the way he has is commendable and deserves a helluva lot more respect.
Bravo Nathan Jones. Bravo. 👏 👏
To get Luton Town - one of the favourites for relegation - into play offs with their budget, wow, what an achievement.
