Seems like an intelligent player, still just 19 so has time to improve Morrison has found a new home at Falkirk, doing very well. Sure someone like Livi will pick him up soon He's alright, but that's my point he is just alright. Again, don't think he'll make it here but I'd be delighted to be wrong and for him to come good. I'd like nothing more than for a young player to crack on and make it into the first team. Morrison is doing well at Falkirk. He has improved a lot, is scoring goals, just extended his contract by 2yr, good on him. He's the better player of the bunch now, but I thought he was probably 2nd best out of McDonald, Henderson, Smith, Moore etc when they were all playing in the Reserves together with McDonald probably being the better player at the time. Him and Keena were quite regularly on the scoresheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambonian Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) Our younger players tend to reach a certain level and then.......well, that's it. For the last few years our own youth academy has been basically preparing players for other clubs, and at our expense. I have no idea why they reach that certain level and then stagnate. The youth academy costs a fair bit of cash to run and we rarely see anything financially out of it. I think Hibs got rid of theirs, and i can understand why. Back in the day, kids were scouted from boys clubs like Edina Hibs, Mussellburgh Windsor, Salvason's BC and many others. I haven't heard of these clubs (if they're even still on the go) supplying the likes of ourselves with players in years. The youth academy is a waste of time and money if it's not providing us with the quality to get money back through transfers. You see the likes of Cochrane, McDonald, Morrison etc walk away from Hearts for next to nothing and ask yourself if it's even worth the bother. Hopefully Logan, Smith and a few others can turn the tide and show the youth academy can work. However, i fear they will go down the same road as plenty others before them. The whole set-up needs badly looked at. Edited August 23, 2021 by jambonian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better in attack but has the speed to recover defensively He said he’s going out on loan along with all the other youngsters that have little chance of ever playing more than a minute in the first team.

I wouldn’t deem any player who took to the pitch under either manager that season “outstanding” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why he hasn’t “impressed”you as he has rarely been allowed to play in the role he was brought here to play. However, for me he has shown he would make a RWB because to play RWB requires 1 energy, he has loads, 2 being able to take and be comfortable on the ball in tight situations, he does this really well and has probably only given the ball away a handful of times in his time here. 3 good delivery, he might be the best we have. 4 be able to defend, this is the only part of his game we do not know about BUT given Souttar’s form/dominance it may be less important than getting us up the park consistently and providing good deliveries.
