Saint Jambo Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I'm not Morrison's biggest fan. Think that at present his crossing is pretty woeful and his composure in front of goal poor. I think he'd benefit from a spell in the Championship where he'd get that little bit more time and could work on these elements of his game. But to say he was Livi's best player at times is unbelievably harsh. He was a really important out ball today and consistently moved us up the park in a way few others did. Overall, whilst a new winger would be great, I'm pretty happy with where the squad is. Have a look at the bench today. Zlamal, Bozanic, Mitchell, MacLean, Mulraney, Dikamona, Keena. With no place or returning from injury Souttar, Brandon, Godinho, Burns, Cochrane, Haring, McDonald, Ikpeazu, Wighton. That feels like a squad with decent depth and options. As long as we can avoid the same number of injuries to really key individuals, I'm feeling positive about the second half of the season.

I'd only get another winger or player for that matter if it was a known quality. Very hard for a club like ours at anytime, nevermind in January. Amanwanka left, I wouldn't want another one.

KyleLafferty Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I quite like Mulraney, I think with the right coaching he can be a threat. His pace in unbelievable.

jambojapp Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Alot moaning at Morrison but yesterday he put two on a plate for Naismith, both which Naismith missed his timing. He never hides and constantly looks to make something happen. Sometimes he over does it but a player like Morrison should be encouraged, I've no doubt he'll be working hard in training at his final ball but we have a player who's willing to run at defenders and capable of taking them on. One of the very few in our team who can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth persisting with - I think the issue for the team as a whole is that the other options have not worked out so far. If Amankwaa had been a consistent performer, or Mulraney been ready then we'd have been able to use Morrison more sparingly and with less pressure on him.

Kirky Jambo Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I thought Morrison was excellent yesterday. Yes his final ball was inconsistent (like many wingers) but he was a constant out ball and was so much more involved than Greg Wylde for example. Also would have had a significant impact on the game but for a couple of air kicks by Naismith and a better pass by Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The camera went to Wylde in the first half and it looked like he was breathing heavy. Then later on he fires Livingston best chance of the game into row z followed by being subbed off. I feel fans forget this part of the game often and don't realise how much a pain Morrison must be for who ever is picking him up. Boy didn't stop all game.

He never hides, is quick and is quite brave as well in that he never shirks a tackle. He does need to improve his final ball and a goal would really do a lot for his confidence. He has a bright future. Agree. I think in the fans desperation for a spark or someone to be entertained by, he’s having doubt cast over him unfairly. He needs to take responsibility and I think he does for a young player. Doesn’t hide as you say and yesterday was unlike him with his erratic crossing. Everyone was off colour a bit.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I like Morrison. His quality wasn't great yesterday though, cant really agree he put 2 on a plate at all. Positive, he got into great positions and gave Lithgow a really hard time. I like others feel this is a position though where we shouldn't rely purely on Calumn as it seems. Mulraney is a bit part, Mitchell not really deployed as a winger or in any sort of form we would expect of him, nor a long term option.

Mr Elwood P Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Interesting stats with Morrison, he played 15 games scoring 0 goals during his first loan spell with Stirling Albion. He went back on loan the next season and played 16 games and scored 8 goals. Perhaps a similar outcome with us? Few goals this season and then really hits his stride next year. I think the BBC highlighted that our win ratio was much higher with him in the team during the coverage yesterday. Also worth noting he is only 19!

I.T.K Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I would rather we back him in always trying to go forward and accept that he will give the ball away from time to time, rather them hounding him until he only plays a safe back passes.

Morrison is far better than these types. 1 I'd kind of hoped, assuming this restriction on us playing Mitchell at left back is true, that with the change of manager at Man Utd, we could now go back to them and ask to have the lad played further up the park. The Left Back thing has Mourinho written all over it. If that restriction is in place I doubt wee Ole with his penchant for more open play, would want it to carry on. A lot of ifs and buts, however, we could have a decent attacking left mid or winger out of it. Edited January 21, 2019 by Busby8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartofmidlothian Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Having seen Morrison a few times this season, his skill at beating players up the wing with speed and trickery is really outstanding. His crosses aren't exceptional, but he gets into dangerous areas and plays passes which create problems for the opposition. The only part of his game which has been poor so far is his shooting. He and Mulraney are both tricky players with the potential to get better, but I'd say Morrison looks more likely to go places if he can add goals to his game.
