STEVE MORISON SACKED

[Dave Blue]

Some are as obsessed with aimless passing as the Jacks. It matters not if the opposition keeper can pull up a deck chair.

Hudson has sadly added nothing since arriving as coach

[Ninja]

I like Hudson but I don't think he is a better option and if he is the choice I think that will not take this club forward in any way

Not long term, but he can't be much worse in the short term.
I hope he's brought his boots!

I think he will be just as bad. Maybe not worse...but just as bad.

[Ninja]

Saying that performances have been poor just isn't true. Probably spoken by someone who hasn't seen them play. There has been a big improvement in the way the team plays but results haven’t been fully reflective of this. To get rid of him now is just silly.

I've watched almost every match this season, albeit on TV.
We rarely trouble the opposition box!
It's been dire to watch.

[Pedro de la Rosa]

As am I

Bombed out promising youth players, brought in a bunch of bang average journeymen and played conservative football that saw us create next to nothing. The way people are going on on Twitter you'd think we've sacked Pep!

I always got the impression it was just a matter of time with Morison, I didn't see him lasting the season and though I'm surprised he's gone this early, I'm not particularly disappointed

My thoughts exactly.

I hope we are only keeping Ramusat and Hudson until the next man comes in. They’re as much to blame for the way things are going as Morison.

[Hilts]

I wonder if Tan questioned his 1.5m investments ability after seeing that dreadful penalty and Morison has lost it.😂

Thought so. And the fact that you think watching on tv gives you a full insight to what is going on is laughable as well. Even the most die hard critics of the club on here have acknowledged that the team is playing much better quality football this season and totally different to what went on before, so where that leaves you in the general scheme of things is beyond me.

It's unfair to judge either Ramasut or Hudson at this point. None of us know what input they've had. Furthermore, it could well be possible that Morison has ignored their input completely and gone with his own egotistical approach, would would not surprise me one bit.

I wanted Morison to be given a chance but he's failed miserably. I'm not suggesting Hudson will be any better, but he can't be much worse surely?

It was one of the worst, in fairness...there've been better attempts on Soccer AM.

Watching in general for more than 30 yrs, both on TV and at the ground, and many an away ground, counts for plenty thanks.
So my 30+ years of experience requires some sort of validation from you of all people? Feck off

I must admit, once I heard Morison say that he doesn't doesn't get involved with the coaching himself, then it was clear that the total lack of fitness, ideas, and routines must be down to his coaches. And now they're in charge?

[Cyclops]

There is, of course another reason for SM's being dismissed that hasn't been suggested - he's been poached....

No that was a typical Morison response that it wasn’t his own fault.

Failed miserably? We're inconsistent, but at times we've we've played the best football since Dave Jones. With lesser players.

And largely failed to trouble the opposition defense or keeper.
You can't polish a turd. Although Morison likes to try.

....by the Jacks!

Edit: They love that passing for the sake of it stuff! He'll fit in well with them.

There’s a few on here who seem pleased that Steve Morison has gone, but, hand on heart, how many of you were calling for his sacking on Friday?

[2b2bdoo]

I’m disappointed to be honest, it was always going to be a tough season with a huge turn over of players and a new style of football. We have had some patches of brilliant football followed by rubbish, but inconsistency kind of expected. I know a lot of people didn’t like his arrogance or the way he spoke to the media but that didn’t both me.

I think his biggest issue in the end was trying to be to clever, to many changes trying to be clever than the opposition instead of setting us up to play. I also think not brining in more or maybe different options upfront cost us with no plan B.

Let’s hope we don’t go back got a Warnock, McCarthy type manager. I think we still have the basis of a decent squad.

Not me. I've said consistently that avoiding relegation would be an achievement. Messageboards are odd places at times ; Morison slated by many from day 1, and Rubin Colwill elevated to football-god status..

[Undercoverinwurzelland]

Hudson's record as caretaker manager - played 4, lost 4.

[Mr Soul '68]

They were no worse than any other players last season (often better) and have been moved out of the side. One easy example is Bagan, what has he done wrong to be behind the comedy player that is Nkonkou? Another is Denham who impressed when given opportunity, why is he now 5th choice behind another comedy player in Nelson?

He persisted with the likes of Vaulks and Pack despite knowing he wouldn't be using them even when we were safe rather than give Bowen (who had impressed) or King a real run in the team. Colwill has not had a run in the team under him despite being impressive when he's given proper opportunity. Connolly and McGuinness have both been moved on despite one looking good on loan and the other being fine in our first team. Poor players were given chances consistently ahead of promising younger players and in spite of this I'm still seeing him lauded elsewhere for bringing through the young players?

Kevin Ratcilffe made some sensible comments regarding Colwell yesterday on BBC Radio Wales. He thought that Morison should be building the club around Colwell, which I tend to agree with. Ratcliffe might be the only man that has led two teams out of the football league and into what was then the Conference, but he does know a decent player when he sees one.
