‘ Steve Morison says he needs more players who ‘

Steve Morison said he needs more players who "understand the game" following Cardiff City's defeat to Luton Town on Easter Monday.

Harry Cornick's header condemned the Bluebirds to a 12th home league defeat of the season, the joint highest tally in the Championship.

Morison says Cardiff, who have 10 senior players out of contract this summer, must reshuffle their squad.


STEVE MORISON:


"We are driving them every day," said the Cardiff manager.

"We have to drive them a hell of a lot more than we should have to, but that's not going to change until we change the group and we get a more balanced group.

"Unfortunately, the world we are in nowadays, the young players don't say a word. They just play football. We need more players around them that can drive them and keep pushing it so it doesn't have to come from the staff every day."

Cardiff were in danger of relegation to League One when Morison took over from Mick McCarthy last October.

They have since pulled clear of the bottom three and are destined for a lower mid-table finish, but Morison concedes there is a danger of Cardiff's season fizzling out after three defeats in their last four games.

"It was very quiet out there today - I think you could hear us (Cardiff's managerial staff) more than you could hear anyone else," he added.

"We are just not stopping giving them information. When it's noisy, like I have just said to them in there, you need to pick yourself up.

"We are going to Bramall Lane at the weekend. That's not going to be so quiet and we won't be able to talk you through the game, so work it out yourselves.

"We need to keep driving them and hopefully once we change the group, we will have to do that less."

Morison says Cardiff must bring in "different personnel, different characters" as they look to progress next season.

When asked whether that meant adding leaders to his squad, he said: "No, just people who understand the game and know it well, who we don't have to keep organising from the side and keep telling them every single thing, because sometimes we can't do that and they have to work it out for themselves."

Hahhhaaaahaaaaa. Guy is a genius. No blame at his door.

I kinda agree with him though.

Over the years we have had leaders who were not captains but sorted stuff out on the pitch or changing room. We have kids, pro's making the step up or loanees and miss the Sols,Manga, Gunnar,Whitts,Mcphails,Johnsons who knew what was expected.

Made a load of sense to me. Some players are stuck in their ways and need to be changed just like some fans moan at the manager every time we lose instead of seeing it for what it is. For my money these players have let not only this manager down but the last two as well. This summer we have the opportunity to change that.

This anti-manager thing is so last season sweety.

Yes, people like Peltier and Morrison too.

Warnock said something similar when he took over.

I left out Morrison and Hudson out as they were captains but how the hell did i leave out Peltier, I loved Pelts, one you'd want in the trenches with you

Wha bothers me some if our youngsters look like world beaters coming on for 20 minutes give them 90 they seem to lose their purpose.

Translates to "they are a bunch of wet wipes"

It was the same with the young lot joining the forces. Absolute bunch of flannels.

Unfortunately it's the new generation of weak men our modern culture has created.

I agree with SM but has it always been that way ?

We have a very inexperienced current first team

Bagan, Drameh, Doyle,Davies, Colwell, McGuiness, Doughty have barely started 15 championship games

Wintle is having his first season in the championship, Ng is only half a season ahead of him

That leaves Nelson and Hugil who were playing and Flint not selected and Ralls injured


Joe Ralls started his career with Hudson then Mozza, Sol, Bennett, Whitts, Gunnar who would tell him what to do and where to go. Its not the kids its our situation we found ourselves.

Half our senior pro's are not starters and the only one with premier league experience is Ralls

Nice if we can get some experience in the club, there's a lad in Spain who is on a Bosman I hear

Martin, you're not dealing with a rational poster with Big Hill Blue; more a reactionary one based on 'Goldfish Syndrome'
