City failed to score in six of the eleven games Morison was in charge of this season. The last of those games was a 1-0 defeat at Huddersfield - a team so bad they've yet to be out of the relegation zone this season. If City were more threatening under Morison, then let's be honest - the difference was so slight as to be barely noticeable.
Results are what matter, but I thought we were clearly a better team under Morison, or at least it looked like we had a coherent plan and had much more of a cutting edge. Ultimately what did him in was Watters and Harris not putting the ball in the back of the net, which admittedly was a problem of his own making, but in terms of chances created and actually looking like a team who hadn't been thrown together in the bar the night before on the back of a napkin, it was night and day Morison to Hudson IMO.
And ultimately whether you agree or disagree, sacking a manager you've let sign 17 players just to let his assistant with less managerial experience take a crack at the job in the hopes thing get better is not the sign of a sanely run club. If we'd got an experienced manager in to replace Morison I'd have been fine with the firing, but that's not what happened and we are not in a better position now.
They gave Morison £1.5 million which no one expected us to spend to bring in a forward who is a step up from the sort of names we were being linked with and then sacked him a fortnight later. All I’m saying is that I saw more potential for improvement under Morison - perhaps I’d have been proved wrong, but we never got the chance to find out.
Robinson is a good signing, I think he’s a good player but he’s not a centre forward. I don’t think too much would have changed because he’s not the player we needed. You could argue we needed him on the left or in behind, but we don’t have a centre forward. Even Burnley play Rodriguez or Barnes
Spot on. It could be seen what we were trying to achieve, even if we were inconsistent. Given the number of new players and the late signing of Robinson this should have improved. We have made no progress under Hudson and there was no clear game plan. The team selections also became more inconsistent.
I couldn’t believe the team at the start yesterday, where 2 of our better performers, Kipre and Robinson, were on the bench against the bottom team. Whoever comes in, needs to be brought in quickly, as there are only 2 weeks of the window left to try and improve the team.
at least with Morison you could see what the direction was supposed to be. what they were trying to implement.
yes it didn't come together as quickly as anyone hoped it would but I have no idea what Hudson was trying to achieve.
if they'd gone for a more proven manager after Morison then you could understand it, but the whole Hudson appointment has been bizarre from start to finish
He’s probably suggesting that the win would’ve taken us to 19th with a good platform to continue the ‘improvement’ as seen at the club. The fact we couldn’t put Wigan away and another glance at the league table no doubt focused a few minds - or one in particular.
