GodEmperor Palpatine Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Saw him play for Wales U16s in the Victory Shield on Sky (I think its called that) against England and looked quality then. Think he was their captain to. Didn't he turn down Liverpool to join us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dastardly and Muttley Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Looks good, but to be fair Apeldoorn looked abysmal. Superb passing move for the goal where Morrell clips it over the keeper, either 6 or 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBW Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 He's still a bit young guys, let's give him a bit more time rather than some league one lump knocking him out on his debut or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woolford's Hairband Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Depending on how the manager views the JPT, could be an opportunity to give him and other promising youngsters a bit of game time. Even if it was just 15 minutes against an Exeter or Torquay, would be something that would aid their development if done at the right time.

Lew-T Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 If you're good enough, you're old enough. He looked a standout in that game but we shouldn't rush him in, give him time to grow and develop then we should have one hell of a player on our hands!

Kid in the Riot Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Interesting and recent article on him here: http://www.gazetteseries.co.uk/sport/10436479.Football__Talented_Morrell_looking_to_progress_at_Bristol_City/ Sounds like we owe McInnes and McStay one for this, as he was very close to joining Liverpool.

Kezman Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 I get the feeling we won't see him in he first team... I agree. This season definitely not. I do however hope he can break into the U21 team and make some headway there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks as though he will sign a two and a half year deal in January, wonder if he will be loaned out?

The Casual Connoisseur Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 All depends oh his attitude . If his Is good then for me it's simple, you take him aside and say we're going to reward you for some excellent performances and give you a go in the jpt, it's not make or break, you've nothing to prove its just a reward, play your natural game and enjoy yourself, come Monday it's back to work with the u18/21's. If he does well then next time maybe he trains with the senior squad (eg). There's no success or failure involved, the experience won't break him but it could make him.

This is what I hope will be happening with a lot of our youngsters. I think it's excellent that the new style of football that Bristol City are adopting is being used throughout the club. This could and should make it easier for players like Morrell to have a go at some first team football. If the attitude and performances are right of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRL Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 I get the feeling he will be bigged up by the fans just like all our other exciting talent of yesteryear, and end up at Weston. That is not negativity, that is just what we do. This year give reid a chance was the cry, this year we buy three new midfielders, one that is younger than reid, who gets straight in the team. It seems we just don't trust what is coming through, and that is pretty much most managers apart from Benny truth be told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems we just don't trust what is coming through, and that is pretty much most managers apart from Benny truth be told. This is changing though. Look at Joe Bryan. Developed through reserves, loaned out and then starts first game of this season. Bobby Reid is slightly further behind in development but still in first team contention. I expect others will follow this path, like Brundle and Morrell with this season in the development squad then maybe loaned in January with a view to starting first team action next season, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedZoneJim Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 TRL Wynter is better than Reid at the moment, that's not negative that's just fact. That's why he was at Arsenal and Reid was with us. I still think Reid will play a fair bit this season and will be an important player for us in the future. Also I don't think anyone expected Wynter to be a first team starter when he signed but he's proved himself in pre-season and has impressed me so far.
