True and true for the vast majority of all posts on here. Perception is reality and NYC’s was a more balanced view in my opinion.
As for Morison, it’d be pretty easy to follow the noise of ‘first impressions’ and condemn him, but my opinion is that I want to cut him some slack. There’s a first time leader working in our organization… (similar age to Morison I guess) she’d been in role for about 3 months…has boundless talent that her leaders recognised but had been struggling to engage her team. The feedback bubbled up and was shared. She hasn’t transformed it overnight as she possibly has to earn that, but you see the difference in engagement starting to happen. She’ll be fine.
I think Morison’s handling of the younger players is inspired by Sir Alex Ferguson. He always made sure that they toed the line and knew who called the shots, but he always acted in theirs and the club’s best interests. Maybe he should be harder on the senior players, but a lot of them won’t be around in a few months, so maybe he believes that they need to be handled in a different way.
With regard to having a less than 50% win rate, isn’t that a fairly common occurrence amongst managers everywhere?
Personally, I think that Morison has got a clear plan for how he wants to develop the club.
Maybe he’s swallowed a text book, but isn’t it refreshing to think that we’re not just bumbling along for once?
I hope he gets judged on results and improved performances.
His ability to interview well at this stage shouldn't come into it.
Yes, in an ideal world we would be deep into getting the players we need signed up for the summer already, but I'm not sure he's done quite enough yet to get the job.
We are getting better results, and playing better football having lost the likes of Giles and Moore, and now Morrison as well, but the last league game we were really awful.
If we are as bad tonight and lose dragging us back into a relegation scrap then there's every chance he won't get the job.
Then who do we bring in? I don't trust the club to get that decision right. Pure luck if we do.
I hope Morison is a success, but in a results driven business, it is the results that he will be judged on
and if I was in his position I wouldn't be trusting my future in the players that have ultimately got us into this position to get us out of it.
As good as we were against Forest we were awful against Barnsley, but he got the result
I'm hoping to see a decent game tonight but in reality if we win 1 0 with an own goal its still the same 3 points.
If he can take us forward happy days, if he can't there will be a long list of prospective candidates put forward.
If James Rowberry gets Newport County promoted his name will certainly be in the mix along with plenty of others, Nathan Jones, Hudson Wagner etc
1 We were in free fall when he took over. Was it 10 straight losses and no 1st half goals all season?
2 He took over and established squad of players, so devoid of talent and confidence.
3 The style of football was unimaginative, unenjoyable and unsuccessful. It was also a style that had been drummed into the players over years.
4 Despite a lack of first team coaching experience and no guarantee of employment beyond the summer he has had the balls to dramatically change the way we play.
5 The January transfer window was possibly the most successful for a very long time when you consider he had to operate solely in the loan market. Compare that to the money wasted by others - especially Warnock.
6 The improvement in all aspects, has been remarkable given where we were when he came in.
7 He doesn't court popularity and is prepared to take unpopular decisions. I note that, many are annoyed by the fact he appears to call out the youngsters and not the more experienced players. But he has to at least keep them motivated till the summer because, no matter how good our youngsters are, they will not keep is up.
8 if we win tonight - and that is an if - we can probably look up rather than down. Given where we were, that is remarkable.
It is hard to imagine anyone doing a better job when all is considered.
got one of those assists we were talking about today
