Waste of one of our loans IMHO; hoping to be proved wrong!

If SR intends on playing a 3-5-2 then Morison up top gives us a target and an out ball when under pressure. Especially away from home against good opposition, or on less than perfect surfaces.
We have also not spent money on buying him. And he has scored goals in the past. Plus defenders don’t like playing against him, which may grant Okenabirhie more space.
I can’t see a problem with him.

If we want to continue developing Okenabirhie into someone who scores loads of goals and that we can sell for loads of money, someone like Morison is a bloody good and experienced foil to have around.

A dead cert for double figures.
Think he'll prove to be a shrewd signing, on & off the field.

Was unsure yesterday, but having listened to the interviews I am pretty pleased with this. We lacked experience and composure at the top end of the pitch last season, now we have it. Someone who can be a constant pain in the arse for opposition defenders!
He's here to play, and yes it will be costing us a good portion of his wages, but he could be an excellent foil for fejiri.
Hopefully has the same effect Jemson had alongside Luke Rodgers.

Angol, yes, but AAH can benefit from working with Morison. He's 26 and has scored 12 in 146, most League One centre halves have comparable records. Waterfall 34 in 329 (10.33% of games he scores) AAH 12 in 146 (8.2% of games he scores) As I said, AAH can benefit from working with Morison.

If he was 21 or under I'd agree, but he's 26 and has 12 career goals. Sometimes it's worth giving up on some things, he's so far from League One standard.

Sometimes it's worth giving up on some things, he's so far from League One standard. I'd certainly give up on AAH as a forward, but do feel that he could be utilised in defence, where he has already played a number of games for some of his earlier clubs. "Aaron Joshua Amadi-Holloway (born 1 February 1993) is a Welsh footballer who currently plays for Shrewsbury Town. He can play as both a forward or a central defender". (Wiki)

I love the guy's in your face attitude he winds opposition defenders up no end.for me he's a character that every team needs,and if he isn't costing to much it's a good sighning imo.

Amazed that some people are disappointed.
A season long loan means we've paid no fee, we're probably only paying a percentage of his wages, and he won't be here for longer than 12 months (unless we want him to be). It's a low risk move which is great to see after the potentially costly deals we offered to Angol and AAH last summer. Great business from the club IMO.
He's a battling target man which was an asset that we were missing last season. We had no 'Plan B'. We were also short of leaders last season, which Morrison undoubtedly is.
Also, as others have said, his knowledge and know-how could really benefit the good young centre forwards we've got at the club. Fey, Udoh and even Mwandwe could learn a lot from him.

There's one thing, he'll ruffle the Portsmouth defenders feathers, if he's playing first game!!!!

Don't think he is going to set the football World (or meadow for that matter) alight. But he looks fit and appears to be an excellent experienced pro. Shall probably bring more to us off the pitch than on but I feel his know how and attitude will help loads on the training pitch and in the dressing room. Only worry is he is slow and legs may have completely gone... Which will impact on our style of football at times. However I agree that sometimes we may have to play ugly to score (or win) and he will bring plenty to the table in that area I glad he is on our side rather than an opposing team. Especially as its a loan. Bit of a no brainer deal really

Morison could have stayed at Millwall. He has another year on his contract there, so he could have stayed in his comfort zone and just picked up the money, so it shows he's still got ambition by coming out of London.

A "good plan B" and " decent impact sub" are mentioned half a dozen times on this thread.
Did anyone think we'd basically be building the attack around him?

He's providing something that we didn't have last year.
I'm still hoping Rickett's brings in another forward though.

Steve Morison thrives on crosses into the box. But we don’t play wingers. Clueless tactics from a clueless manager.

Looks like a player who was playing within himself, not sure he was fit enough to be on the pitch personally. Far from the only one struggling or playing through problems. Madness in August..

Morison's 'performance' last night was a disgrace, he didn't look at all interested and put in no effort at all. He was the senior pro in an inexperienced side and should have been setting an example, particularly as he was the captain on the night. I was amazed at the small smattering of applause when he was substituted.

Very concerning for me watching him last night... Hes no where near the player I thought he would be. More interested bollocking young lads that chasing something down... he also seems to never actually be in the box when a cross comes in...
Agree that hes not looking 100% fit, but it could just be his attitude.
If we are relying on him to score, trouble our way comes I think.
On the Smattering of applause, i noted a few boos around me!

I don't think Morison is 100% fit.
And he applauded Rowland's effort in the second half.
Should be easy to remember. It's the only one we had.

We won't see the best of him this season. He'd thrive in a 4-4-2
There's no width to our attacks at all, normally just straight balls chipped towards Morrison's head from the centre halves. Okenabirhie is normally about 30 yards away or stood in an offside position, so we lose possession and drop back into our deep defensive shape with a flat back 5 and no pressure on the ball.

Okenabirhie is normally about 30 yards away or stood in an offside position, so we lose possession and drop back into our deep defensive shape with a flat back 5 and no pressure on the ball. There were many, many issues last night but that was particularly irritating - the clipped 30-yard nothing ball to Morison's head, usually just above it. It's lazy, ineffective and a complete cop out by the defender. It's neither an incisive ball into feet/chest, one to turn them round or one with enough pace to give him any chance to flick it on. Meat and drink for their centre halves and one of the main reasons we're deep and unable to link midfield/up top. I hope it isn't a tactic we've worked on but suspect it is, as they looked for it repeatedly from the outset. And don't get me started on the deliveries from wide areas (in our rare forays done the line) - pathetic.
