Why can't he stay focus for a whole game he has cost us points by switching off to much.

He's also saved us a good few points in first half of the season, and grabbed us a few through his goals.

Frustrating he can't stay consistently focus his errors prove costly.

I think he gets made into something of a scapegoat, if I'm honest. Connolly seems to get a free pass, especially considering his own goals have cost us crucial points.

Morrison has done well since he's come in.
He's very good in the air and gives us more of a threat in that way.

Centre backs don't all have to be ball players.

Look at Leicester

Yeah Connolly is at fault aswell but Morrison causes more errors.

But at the end of the day he is a defender that's his job to defend and at crucial times he switches off and doesn't do his job his aerial threat is a bonus.

Morrison is no more guilty of switching off than the other 2 first team centre halfs.

Manga is probably the worst culprit- although his all round play is otherwise very very good

If Morrison had all the attributes he'd be playing in the Premier League.

Of course he has his limitations but he is a solid performer at this level who carries a goal threat as well.

Should have scored with the free header in the second half though!

Probably the worst of our centre backs with the ball at his feet and the slowest of the three but makes some good blocks and decent in the air.

I say this often, if they were perfect would not be with us. I like him, two clean sheets against Derby and burnley. :thumbup:

Derby scored against us Stringfellow and it could be argued that Morrison was partly to blame for the goal as he let Martin get in front of him!

However you are spot on - if they were without fault they would be playing at a higher level than we currently are. :thumbup:

Can't argue with that I think also not having an outfield captain is the reason for the laspse in concentration.

The ball through for Parker ,actually split peltier and Morrison ,think they were both to blame
Morrison was my man of the match at burnley

Re: Morrison

Whilst the ball was played over the top and in behind Morrison to Parker and looked to be Morrison's fault, Parker is a midfield player and it appeared that one of our midfield players failed to track him!

On the subject of mistakes, as good as he is Marshall has been at fault many more times than Morrison this year.

Haven't seen it since, but that was my thoughts at the time.
It was virtually from kick off and Parker is hardly a speed merchant.
