Leicester City 2-2 S****horpe United
24 April 2009

It took until the final home game of the season but Michael Morrison's second and third goals of the season won him his first man of the match award of the season in the 2-2 home draw with S****horpe. Morrison was followed by defensive partner Jack Hobbs who celebrated the signing of his new four year contract with a solid defensive display, while Max Gradel rounded off the top three.

Marc Edworthy was voted City's poorest player on the day with Andy King and Matty Fryatt coming closest out of those who played long enough to be considered for the title of flop of the match.

Good work Sheff, but Morrison's first goal for us was against Huddersfield in January

Thank again Sheff for keeping this going especially after the rushed start.

Well done Morrison, considering where he was before he's had a very good season - still plenty of scope for improvement but a real team player.

NB: I think Morrison has score previously

As I said, second and third goals of the season

[DeclanMC]

Generous, that was not the intention! My footballing vision must have been clouded by the thought of the trophy after the game!

[Fox92]

Thanks for that & well done to Morrison.

I really do like Morrison, I think that, considering where he was playing before us, he is a really good player.

Hopefully he will get a few starts next year but I can see it being Tunchev and Hobbs, and Morrison aint gunna' start right back.

cambridge fan here... saw that morro scored a couple on friday night so was just wondering how he has done for you this year?
at cambridge we always thought he would be a brilliant player if he improved his distribution. u think he will get a look in at championship level?
cheers

[Kareem Abdul-Jabbar]

He's done quite well to jump from Conference to League 1. That's a big step for anyone and he has held his own admirably. Truth to be told, in the Championship I don't think he'll be first choice. We have better CB's at the club. But if he's patient and continue to improve then you never know.

He still needs to work on his distribution.

But playing alongside the likes of Brown and Tunchev can only improve his all-round game - and I'm sure the manager will pass on a few tips too!

[clazkel]

Morrison has been the player that has improved the most this season, he looked dodgey in pre-season and fair play to Pearson for sticking with him. Now hes a great player and i really hope he gets his chance next season, i would like to see him and Hobbs start, think they make a great partnership

Impressed with him. It's a step up, but he's adapted well. Distribution, as others have said, needs to be worked on, but he's been consistent and filled in quite competently at right-back.

I feel his best game for us was away at Scunthorpe- he was immense that day.
