And Its Smith Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 I don’t get why they don’t release Morton. They must see something in him I suppose or else they wouldn’t keep picking him.

I don’t know that it’s seeing something in him, it’s more that he can’t get anything else - Notts County as trained with pre season didn’t happen in the end. I think it’s as simple as we’re paying him and it’s better he plays and adds some “experience” to the side as opposed to sitting on the sidelines if he doesn’t want to settle up. I’d imagine he’s seen as a good lad who knows he has no future here but the coaching staff are happy to involve as he’s not a disruptive influence.

He's under contract, been looking for a club as he's been told his contract won't be renewed. Nearly joined MK Dons last season but it fell through and did well on trial at Notts County but they had similar midfielders already. Why shouldn't he be selected ? It would be a bit off just to drop him, especially as he's more than good enough for the U21s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw him play a couple of games for Notts County and he looked good, taking the corners, free kicks etc. He'll get a club, may have to be at that level to enable him to try to work his way back up.

Davefevs Posted August 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 Thought it was two fairly evenly matched teams, Peterborough with perhaps the better passing patterns, but they met a brick wall with Joe Low and Jamie Knight-Lebel especially. We were better second half when Towler went back to LCB3, and although the pitch didn’t help (skid in one part, stick in another), we wasted some good opportunities in and around the box where we didn’t execute with the final touch or pass. I’d not seen Porton or Oputeri before. Oputeri I can imagine is a handful at 18s. Porton looked very good technically, and played a good part in our strong finish to the game. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a bit off just to drop him, especially as he's more than good enough for the U21s. I always thought Morton to be a decent player. But as I said back on July 3 he seems destined to be another Frankie Artus, a perennial player, even sometime captain for the reserves/development side but never to don a 1st team shirt.

He was really bright, a couple of times though he lacked a bit of conviction with his touch or pass. Couple of lovely bits of skill, one where his drag back created room for a shot and it got deflected for a corner. He pressed well, causing a few hairy moments for their CBs in possession. Missed a good one-on-one (keeper saved his “dink”) from an Oputeri pass, but a few mins later atoned after a mistake, pouring on a ball in the ball, moved it inside and finished with a left foot shot reversed back from where he’d come from. Commentators were complimentary about him, and unbiased too. They talked about Harv’s 100k tik-tok followers and didn’t resort to things like “City’s no4” or stuff like that. No highlights though, or I’d have clipped and shared. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would cost about the same as one weeks wage of Wells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
