Morris is dreadful

Post by Travelling O »

He might have been given the benefit of doubt from first game….that benefit is now gone - there is serious doubt. Way off the pace of this league.

Unfortunately we don’t have a replacement at this moment in time.i don’t rate either full back Their right winger today gave us the runaround.We cannot go through the season with these Full Backs.

From January until end of the season he was decent enough so is it the player or the system?

He’s just out of form (and possibly a bit of fitness). He’ll be fine. Calm down

He was absolutely fine before the penalty.

The signing of Boniface and then ousting him at left back has shaken his confidence big time.
He knows when Boniface returns from injury he's likely to oust him again.
He's as nervous as a kitten around our box.
Think I'd like to see Hayden at centre back calming the nerves a bit.

He was. There were others who were more culpable than him today.

I’m more worried about our performance at the other end of the pitch,
We created virtually zero before Oyekunle’s goal
Morris did ok before the penalty

He's fine. More worried about lack of threat up front.

Morris was ok again today.

Thought the contact for the pen ended outside the box, would like to see it back. ( although they were owed one after a stonewall foul from Kabia went unpunished).

He's a decent L1 Left-back. He's in L1 for a reason of course..

Was fine last season - and a distinct upgrade on what we had prior. He'll be fine.

Confidence took a knock after the Owls game, no doubt..

It's like the arrival of Boniface has rocked his self confidence. He has to shake that off and fast .

I thought the Barnsley danger man was Reyes Cleary . Every attack seemed to go through him out on their left . A proper handful who would give any League One right back the runaround this season. Last home league game we didn't deserve to lose to Sheffield Wednesday however today we were well beaten by the better side .

The fat left winger? Decent enough but thought Stevens handled him well given the total lack of support he was receiving from Akhamrich. The guy on their right was just as lively as him but Springett helped out defensively.

Thought their 9 and blockhead captain in the middle of the park won it for them. Proper competitors.
