Steve Morison: “All credit goes to the players," he said. "

STEVE MORISON:
“All credit goes to the players," he said. "I have just said to them in there – that’s your standard, that’s your level. 3-0 down is not good enough but the performance after we went 3-0 down is good enough.
“If they perform at that level, we win games of football.”
Morison's bid to further improve a side that had scored just once in the last eight games will likely come against the backdrop of increased efforts from the club's hierarchy to step up their search for a permanent manager to lead the club into a new era.
Michael Beale and Jody Morris are among the names believed to be favoured in the City boardroom, while Michael Flynn is currently favourite with the bookies.
The current interim boss is understood to be in the mix too, with the club set to whittle down the list of candidates into a shortlist over the coming week or so.
Morison insists he's preferring to think about the here and now, with Queens Park Rangers up next for his side on Wednesday, although he has hinted that he's ready to listen to any messages the board may have.
“It’s not my decision ultimately," he said when asked about his potential interest in the job.
"You have a plan in life to be prepared for anything and I have always done that.
“All I am worried about now is doing this press conference, going to have some food on the coach, driving back and having a day off tomorrow, because it’s been a pretty busy week.
“I am not worrying about anything else other than that. If I get a phone call on the way home to talk about anything then I’ll have that conversation.
“But at the moment it’s not something I have to worry about. The next job is to watch the under-23s play Swansea on Monday night and hopefully keep that run going as well.
“You have to have a purpose in life, my purpose this week has been getting the boys ready to put a performance in.
“We worked all week and never planned to be 3-0 down so we had to go off the cuff with that one.
“It worked and we got it back. The most pleasing thing for me was seeing a team that we had worked on and put together and it came out and the goals came from really good bits of play.

Mark Harris made a big difference coming on early in the second half.
Morison deserves a good deal of credit for making that change.

Sticking Harris on that giant centre back of theirs put the Stoke man way out of his comfort zone and also gave Moore so much space.

Ran the channels extremely well and two great finishes - such a shame the second one was offside.

Seeing a manager change it up tactically to take advantage of the opposition is awesome. Warnock used to be good at that in the championship. Less so in the premier league.
This together with the style of football he has the under 23s playing says he would be a good choice.
Hopefully two wins in matches coming up will help.
The confidence must have oozed back into the team.

It won't have done him or them any harm, Neil; results like this can bind a team/squad together

Absolutely is a turning point.
Losing loads then 3 down.
Rise up.
Awesome.
