harvey54 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Came on as a sub after 70 minutes. 2 minutes later he scythed through the nearest Sag. Friendly my Ar$e. Very impressed with Anderson. Bright, buzzy, good on the ball and lots of excellent movement. Should start ahead of Woolfy who still looks lightweight. Ryan Taylor should also get in ahead of Pitman. Brett missed a couple of decent chances, his head went down and he looked like a player waiting to be replaced by Baldock or Hunt. Cunningham looks a good buy. All in all, a good run out and a sweet victory against an average lower league team. Harve CTID Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Red Jordi Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Totally agree with all of the above and that tackle was as good as a goal, quality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargent Pepper Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 and it got the biggest round of applause all afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pride of the west Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 The round of applause was like something ive not heard at football before. Usually its a big cheer with frantic clapping but this was different. It was like a round of applause you give someone whos just won a tennis match. Very poetic and the sag knew his place. Didnt the ref give a drop ball for it though? Very strange. And the linesman flagged for offside when it was a throw in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiz Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Agree completely with all you say. Morris dictated when he cam on. I think Morris will be superb this season. The only concern I had was Pitman and Stead. They seemed over anxious and frustrated at times. Like they were trying to hard keen to point out where passes should have gone constantly looking at the bench. Its good and right they should trying so hard, but I felt they were over anxious.

Portland Bill Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Morris impressed me,puts his foot in!,nice range of passing, and he's got that been there done it look. Was surprised with Pitman yesterday, he seemed to want to kick the leather off the ball with any effort on goal he had. The shot he hit the bar with was really just a guide it into the net job,normally that's what he would have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have strong hopes that Morris will surprise a lot of fans who have been non-plussed at his arrival & be the calm, older head in midfield that dictates games a la Hartley or Tinnion in the past.

Tall King Blox Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Agree 100% with above comments, but i think he will have to watch himself with those tackles or he will end up with a lot of bookings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Taunton_Red Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 He'll get 60-70 mins against Southampton I'm guessing, I am going and looking forward to his performance to see if he can boss a midfield against a "Premier-league side" - as long as he can tackle Lambert like that I'll be happy.

stevecity86 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 The guy looked quality yesterday, excellent passer of the ball. I think with a relatively young team it will be beneficial to have a more experienced player in the midfield, as mentioned above similar to what Hartley gave us a couple of years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearded_red Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 He did look extremely comfortable on the ball and some of his passing was a joy to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slacker Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 If Morris keeps passing like that and with pacey wingers either side of the pitch we could be in for some exciting football this term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillies Downs Leeds Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 If Morris keeps passing like that and with pacey wingers either side of the pitch we could be in for some exciting football this term. What i liked as well was it was usually a first time pass unlike Kilkenny who imo always slows things down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest willie pullar Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Whats this ? Jody morris can actually play a bit ? But hes been playing in the spl , he must be pish ! guys jody is quality but saints have had the best of him to be honest , he is on the way down but is still good enough for bottom half of the championship , hopefully top half.

Let's not get too carried away fella with the 'I told you so' shout. We played the equivalent of Bristol Manor Farm yesterday afternoon. Look forward to seeing him perform against Southampton, similar with Mark Wilson if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rovers-ran-away Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 If Derek mcinnes thinks he's good enough then maybe just maybe he is. Judging by people's opinion Of him then he can't be any good on fm ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ricardo 'Livi' Red Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 At Saints I think he was very much the guy who broke things up and they used Murray Davidson as the more advanced playmaker. That's what we need.. Would love to think it would be Buzsaky.. But fear it could be Kilkenny.. It could well be all change as Kilkenny and even Skuse could attract offers..?

I think Kilkenny played his best stuff for us last season, when he was playing in a more forward role. I'm not saying he's the answer to a creative midfielder as whoever we get, if anyone, must be able to play in a 4 or a 5 man midfield. Killa, imho, still needs to prove he can cut it in a 4.

Hartley wasn't bad at doing that for us, the likes of Ferguson at Blackpool are doing the same. You can't beat experience in the Championship imo.

freezer Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Welcome Jody. Played some nice passes, looked confident and cool on the ball. And any player, that tackles a gash like that gets my vote. I was on my feet applauding him, frickin marvellous. A flashback to derbies of old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
