CAFCdamo Posted 4 July 2011 Share Posted 4 July 2011 Hi LCFC fans, We (Charlton) look set to snap up your old CB Michael Morrison from Sheff Weds. He only joined them in Jan, and seeing as he helped you guys get promoted out of the poxy league we are now in, I thought Foxes fans would be best placed to comment productively on him. Please bear in mind we are in League 1, so try and think in that context when evaluating him. Being part of a struggling team at Hillsbrough means that he has a bit of the Marmite factor amongst Owls fans. All thoughts welcome. Best of luck for the coming season. Surely you guys have to be aiming for the Prem again now, as your team is really taking shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted 4 July 2011 Share Posted 4 July 2011 decent CB too inconsistent for Championship IMO but more then good enough for League 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simmo86 Posted 4 July 2011 Share Posted 4 July 2011 Gary Megson is also a hero to them ... Fair enough. Tartan Owl who posts on here doesn't rate him and seems to have his head screwed on. Think Sousa left a lasting impression on the poor lad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 4 July 2011 Share Posted 4 July 2011 He was excellent for us under Pearson. really matured into a decent CB .... even in the championship and chipped in with a couple of important goals. We got him from non league football. Most people considered him a real find. When Pearson left he became a different player. I think, like a few others he considered Pearson his mentor... He couldnt adapt to a passing style, his confidence was shot... didnt play well at all...This appears to of continued at Wednesday. You still have Powell dont you? ( Hail king Powell! ) This could help him...him being part of the regime... being a defender himself too... might help him get some of that old Morrison back.. probably help his confidence. He is still a young lad really.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 4 July 2011 Share Posted 4 July 2011 In my opinion, solid at both centre back and right full back. So, fairly versatile. Very good in the air, and also has a fairly good shot for a defender. Good enough for League 1 and maybe even Championship level again as long as the manager has confidence in him, which I'm sure Powell has. I think he would be a good signing for Charlton.

nuttytimmy Posted 4 July 2011 Share Posted 4 July 2011 Good enough for League 1 and maybe even Championship level again as long as the manager has confidence in him, which I'm sure Powell has. I think he would be a good signing for Charlton. I was very disappointed to hear that Morrison had left the Walkers as I felt he had a bright future ahead of him. I really hope life for him works out better at Charlton than it did at Wednesday. He's a very solid player at League One level and he will once again blossom under the leadership of Chrissy P, of that I have no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 4 July 2011 Share Posted 4 July 2011 Would be strong in League One. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevosevic Posted 4 July 2011 Share Posted 4 July 2011 He had one good season in the Championship and a bad half season in the Championship before being sold - hard to know which period represents his ability, time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterborofox Posted 4 July 2011 Share Posted 4 July 2011 I rated him, and thought we should keep him even just as a squad player as he can play at centre back or full back and does a solid job. Would do well with Chris Powell again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmite Posted 4 July 2011 Share Posted 4 July 2011 I though he had some cracking games under Pearson and was solid at the back and looked very comfortable on the ball. It seemed to go down hill once pearson left his confidence was shattered. Don't think he ever recovered from that dreadful display at portsmouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingy_85 Posted 4 July 2011 Share Posted 4 July 2011 Very good debut season under Pearson in League 1 and a useful squad player in the championship thereafter. I don't count his season under Sousa. That inexcusable cretin managed to ruin the mentality and form of our entire defence. Just don't watch the Pompey video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazfox9 Posted 4 July 2011 Share Posted 4 July 2011 He'll do a decent job for you in league 1. As other posters have mentioned, he had some very good games under Pearson, at centre half and right back. I'd expect Crissy P to get some of that form back from him, so yeah, I'd say a good signing for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfox Posted 4 July 2011 Share Posted 4 July 2011 A very good player for us in his first season, then dropped off. Better right-back in my view, but I hear he has struggled at Wednesday, but nevermind his nothing to do with Leicester anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicko Posted 4 July 2011 Share Posted 4 July 2011 I was a big fan of Morrison and was a bit disappointed when he left us. He was a no-frills defender who wasn't afraid of getting stuck in. His control/distrubution etc weren't always fantastic, but other than a period of a few months under Sousa I thought he looked quite solid. Good signing for Charlton, especially as Powell will know what makes him tick etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 4 July 2011 Share Posted 4 July 2011 If Powell can get the best out of him, you've got a tidy player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon Posted 4 July 2011 Share Posted 4 July 2011 If you end up with Nigel Pearson as manager he'll be great because he's the same as Fryatt and Hobbs, they've only ever performed for Pearson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webbo Posted 4 July 2011 Share Posted 4 July 2011 He'd never get a game for Barca but he's a trier. He'll probably chip in with 4 or 5 goals a season too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isopen Posted 4 July 2011 Share Posted 4 July 2011 Perhaps the problem while playing at the Owls was a lack of concerntration. Let's face it. watching a Megson managed side is a good insomnia cure, only time in my supporting life that I actually considered leaving games before the final whistle So maybe MM was nodding off too...
