The board certainly shouldn't have given the window to Morison that's on them, however the way he chose to spend the money he was given is on him, he was more than happy to take the credit so he should take the blame
Good players - Robinson, O'Dowda, Collins, Kipre, Romeo, Philogene
OK (and generous with some) - Rino, Etete, Allsop
Bad - Ojo, Sawyers, Nkounko, Simpson
Unknowns/young (again, generous with some) - Daley-Campbell, Tanner, Adams, Alnwick

Some of the good players are genuinely good. I think O'Dowda is the pick of the bunch, if he was a left back earlier in his career, he wouldn't play for us. Robinson is as good as expected, Romeo better. The OK players are fine, I don't think Allsop stops much but he's not to blame. Etete has something but is so raw. To be honest, I'd put Rino in the bad pile, and create an ugly pile for the rest but at least he's got his merits. The 4 bad players are honking. They're so bad it is criminal. Daley-Campbell looks miles off it, and I'd be surprised if any of them come off. Adams is a massive gamble who had a 65% pass completion in League 2 with a grand total of no assists. He gave the ball away a third of the time and didn't create anything with it so I'm hardly getting excited to see him come back.
