Sean Morrison

I've mentioned him before but after seeing today's game for Huddersfield against MK Dons I feel he's worth his own thread. Commentator described him as immense and later exclaimed "And Sean Morrison, a player I've not seen before, I have to say he's been really really very good".

This lad is a huge prospect. He has the physique, level-head, skill and positioning sense to be a great centre-half for us someday. Won every ball that came his way. Hopefully Town get promoted and Reading let us buy him!

Good amount of Irish in that game, btw. Gleeson, Potter, Shawn Williams, Jay O'Shea and that big useless lump Alan Lee.

At the risk of turning into The Worm on the David Connolly thread....

....Another excellent performance tonight from Morrison, save for a possible penalty incident, but even that was executed with a bit of cleverness.

For MK Dons Shaun Williams was absolutely brilliant, I have to say.

Has he declared for us?

He has an Irish flag beside his name on Wikipedia which is good enough for me.

Think it was in an article where Long or Pearce talks about the Irish lads and lads with Irish heritage (so you know it wasn't Harte :D) at Reading...can't be arsed to find it at the moment as I'm eating.

he is a MUST buy. An absolute monster at the back, he beasted utd all day long. A very good footballing CB aswell, excellent control and can spot a pass.

Simply awesome.

Just saw him on the Football League show now. He's a big lad and took his penalty well.

Man of the match performance at the Madejski today. Should cap him early before England go sniffing.

Might he have played at under-age level for us already were he interested? Surely he's been on someone's radar.

Oh good, that makes me feel better about Everton losing and Coleman giving away a penalty, but there are (I think) more Irish
at Reading so nice to see Reading get a win takes them out of the drop zone (and puts Villa in).

Well yes that is the problem down that end of the table, atm with Southampton and QPR, who
are a bit thin on the Irish, in the relegation zone it is fine, but then the next 6 teams all have
significant Irish players. With Villa it is Dunne Clark and Ireland, Dunne is getting on a bit, and
Ireland well, he is Stephen Ireland so it just leaves Clark.
I don't know a lot about Morrison but it seems he is as god as Clark if not better, certainly
better on todays performance I imagine.
However he has not play any international football at all so that's probably not a good sign for us?

So I don't know which would be the best team to get relegated out of the 6 competing for the drop.
You have to go up as far as Newcastle before you get a good option for the drop.

So it's as good as can be expected at the moment and surely there will be some decent Irish getting promoted?
Indeed 3 Irish at Palace who top the Championship

Yep barged into the back of a player going for a header. Not very clever really
I expect Moyes is delighted - not!!!
He was doing well apart from that I thought.
He is a dangerous player in either half of the pitch :p
I mean I find his wing play fantastic when he is on his game he causes big problems
when he runs at players, defenders really struggle to handle him, which is nice to see.
I reckon he is worth a few bob now despite the penalty.

Surely the FAI scouts would be doing their job here??... but they didn't know Ciaran Clark was eligible until Richard Dunne got involved

Enda Stevens started today as well.

As far as I understand, Morrison has been on the FAI's radar for a while. He is either not eligible, or not interested, because I am almost certain that King was going to include him in an U21 squad last year.

He had a q&a on twitter a while back and stated that he's not eligible
