We need to stop making signings like this because it's just a waste. I don't blame Junior Morias; he probably wants to play more, which is why he's gone on loan. I know some people here didn't believe in him, but I always felt he tried and deserved more game time. Most of his chances came in our weaker squad, which barely had any of the players we consider starters. It just seems unfair, but I wish him success at Dagenham and Redbridge.

I do think it's highly likely that Junior Morias wants to play regular football, from his pre-season appearances he might feel that his chances are slim and if there's talk within the club that a new striker is going to be signed - I imagine this would further create the ambition to be playing more frequently. I have always felt he looked a good player, when given a chance he has impressed me.

His speed was very quick, which made teams struggle, but we never made the most of his ability.

I find it strange how he spent a portion allegedly out injured, when he's had very little injuries and had played a lot for Dagenham & Redbridge upon signing for us. I think the club panicked a little, signed him in hope of having cover going into the playoffs and found that there wasn't the need for him. Certainly with the amount of subs named in the National League it would have been difficult.

Yet more opportunity should have come in League Two, I am very disappointed by Notts, but I am glad Morias will finally get his chance to play more regularly. If there's a recall option in his deal, Notts would be best to allow him to remain - bringing back would just be wasteful for his career.

Two goals by Junior Morias for Dagenham & Redbridge.

Very well taken.

Could he still do a job for Notts?

 

Someone's been watching McGoldrick! Both are quality finishes. I mean if this becomes the start of a scoring run Notts might have a bit of dilemma on their hands, I mean we're not short for attacking options right now but it's a good problem to have!

Well done Junior I'm happy for the lad. The Question is @Robbie would Junior want to come back to the Lane? If he starts hitting the back of the net on a regular basis, he may want to see if he could do it at Notts come January. The thing is if he does return he'll still be down the pecking order behind Jatta, Didzy and Cedwyn Scott (should he prove his fitness and start scoring goals). Would he want to hang around and just wait for a chance? Or would he be prefer to remain at the Daggers where he's more or less guaranteed a starting place in their first XI. A lot of things could change between now and January and as I've said before it doesn't seem likely he'll get much of a chance under Stuart Maynard maybe our Head Coach thinks he doesn't suit Notts style of play and that's why he was loaned out in the first place.

I think Notts will extend his loan at Dagenham and perhaps sell him to them at the end of this current season. The Recruitment team at Notts will I believe look for another striker (if one is needed) in the January Transfer window.

I personally think that Junior deserves another opportunity at Notts if he wants it.

Notts would have done their research on Junior before recruiting him

They would have come to the conclusion that Junior is comparable with the Notts style.

The squad has drastically changed under Maynard & Junior is a similar sort of Striker to the loan player Brown.If it were me, I would give Junior another opportunity in January.

Scott hasn't really proved his worth yet since he returned from injury. Time will tell, but I'm not sure whether Scott is strong enough at this level.

Fair points @Robbie what I still can't get my head round is why was Junior loaned out in the first place? By keeping him at the Lane it would have given Ced's a longer time to recover from his injury. With his loan move that is why I was wondering that Notts may now feel that Junior really doesn't suit the Magpies style of play. Admittedly the Recruitment team will have had all the Data on him, but they haven't got it right all of the time have they?

Cedwyn Scott I feel perhaps came back to early, plus the departure of Macca may have also had an effect on him and despite giving him the number 9 shirt, Maynard is playing Jatta (when he's fit) in that position and forcing Scott to play a deeper role, which is unfamiliar to him.

As we've discussed WBRM, it could be simply that something doesn't fit with him & the coaches on the training field. Relationships are formed in training. 

It's not just about training, getting fit & playing games. That's just a small part of a player's football life. 

It's how they make relationships & respond on the training ground, how they train, are they commited, do they want to improve, are they prepared to change the way they play, are they happy?

If Morias is suddenly banging them in at Dagenham, what has changed?

I just don’t think Notts are ready to make it work. If we think Millwall have treated Macca badly, then just imagine how poorly Notts have treated Junior Morias. It’s great to see him scoring, but Notts will probably sell him for less than what we paid for him.

As I've said before @Blake it didn't seem to me Junior had a fair crack of the Whip at Notts, as neither Luke Williams or Stuart Maynard gave him much playing time. Why? Maybe as @Robbie as said maybe he had the wrong attitude in Training or he couldn't form a Relationship with either the Coaching Staff or fellow players? Who knows? I also agree with you I think Notts will sell him in the January Transfer Window.

I do not see Junior Morias being given time. He did when in the spells he featured and scored a very good goal at home. It was a goal out of nowhere. I think he hadn’t long come on. Someone help me out and name the game? I cannot recall it for the life of me.

Junior Morias has pace and the ability to score. His move to Notts seemed bright, but he just didn’t get much chance. He has a good rapport at Dagenham, and they can get the best out of him. I would like to see it work out here, but I also don’t think it’s likely.

He looked good in the games he played in the pre-season. When he left on loan, I felt surprised, but I get the feeling Notts want players who can play elsewhere up top. I don’t know if that is something Junior Morias can do. Good player, I agree. We will miss making it work, I agree on that.

I've always liked him, but for some reason he hasn't been included much at all.

I think he looked lively whenever he did manage to play for us, and whilst National League football is a drop in quality - I honestly felt with Macaulay Langstaff leaving that it would present him more chance to kick on here. I don't know if he requested the loan, or Notts did, but it's a shame it doesn't seem to have worked out. I mean, there's still hope the loan move could see him return to us, but I have the feeling he will go back to them on a permanent basis.

No idea. He should be in our squad and would have resolved the issue we had when the club needed someone up top. Perhaps it’s his size and limited positions, but I do like him. He works hard!
