He was never the same player again and it was more spirit, a great mind set and momentum which carried us through the last six months of the campaign. Sides going away and winning 7-0 like Fulham have done are very much the exception in the modern day Championship, it’s more likely that more mundane qualities will bring you success because as a rule, the sides are so evenly matched that it’s what’s between the ears which determines how successful you are and this leads to a snowball effect be it positive or negative - Morison deserves credit for changing our mindset pretty quickly.
That sunny afternoon beating Villa at the start of 17/18 was/is the best match I've seen us play in recent times followed by an evening match against Leeds. The football and the crowds/atmosphere were excellent. It should be possible to re-create that with the youth core and some canny signings in the summer. I hope we become faster at everything we do. I'd also like to see us with at least 50:50 possession at home. I don't think we should be spending most of our time watching the visitors with the ball.
