I think Wilson and Fitton saw enough potential in Morrison that would have contributed to the decision to let Greer go. Wilson made comments at the start of the season it was time for Morrison to step up and push the first team as he liked what he seen in pre-season. They have rated Morrison for a long time and he just needed games which his Southend loan would have assisted.
Greer when he found out that a 3 year contract was on offer at Brighton was looking for the same and Fitton said he wouldn't discuss contracts until at least October. Fitton has made clear his preference for investing in young players and that a 3 year contract for a 29/30 year old central defender who was starting to show a few signs of wear wasn't in the clubs best interest.
We could have given Greer that 3 year contract and Morrison might have been pushing him within weeks and you would have had Greer stuck on a long term contract. Those sort of decisions, in the past have cost the club dear. Let's hope that Morrison goes onto the same success as another Devonian centre half with the same first name

Well, there would appear to be less evidence of a tiring central defence conceding late goals at the moment. (probably shouldn't be saying that with a game tomorrow) |

In the last 4 or 5 games they have been pretty much perfect. Its inevitable a hickup or two will happen, every player has that. Its whether it affects them that counts. Then we'll see. In the last 4 or 5 games they have been flawless (and I don't mean in the street dance sense). |

I really hope for you lads that Morrison fulfills the potential that he has shown so far this season. To be honest we have seen less than 90 mins from Greer so far due to injuries and more recently the form of Elphick and El Abd (2 Brighton born lads) so we are reserving judgement for now.

I'm not saying this out of spite, but the back 4 in the last two home games have looked stronger than at any pooint last season
