    on radio wales phone in. Issue being who is more indispenible out of Bamba or Morrison? Gabbs went SM, Blakey went SB.

    It may be hypothetical but is it?

    They’re both superb but the very fact City lost all those games without Morrison speaks volumes. Since he’s been back results have picked up markedly.

    Morrison, absolute rock and so dependable with a real goal threat at every set piece.

    Sol, a great defender who plays his heart out.

    A close thing but Morro for me.

    Although he is so much better with Sol by his side. A great team.

    A team effort, both have individual qualities that help the team. Alone, I’d have to go for Morrison.

    Morro for me, his all round game is slightly better and he marshals the defence like a true captain.

    Back last year I would have been happy to see Morro leave. This year, however, he has been a real stand out. When he was absent, it noticed, we struggled massively without him. As much as I rate Bamba, he does occasionally make a silly mistake which can prove costly.

    Morro for me.

    Taken from another web site

    “a third of all the league goals we have conceded this season were during the 5 games that Morrison missed”

    Just think about that, we’ve conceded only eighteen goals in the twenty seven matches Morrison has started. That’s 0.66 goals per game, compared to the 1.8 a game we let in when he was wasn’t playing. In fact, Morrison’s figures are even better than that in truth, because one of the two goals we conceded at Reading came after he had gone off injured, so the reality is we’ve conceded 10 in something like five and two thirds game without him and seventeen in twenty six and a third matches with him."
