The little bit of form we got out of Morton was with him partnering Vadaine Oliver up front, I'm taking from that he's not as one dimensional as Oliver was?Love Eaves, he was fantastic for us across two seasons. Yes he can win a lot aerially and a back post header is a regular occurrence, but you'd be surprised how many of his goals were just technically really good. He's physical, a willing runner though lacks a bit of pace, a proper 'team' player who just comes across as a really good bloke that you want to do well.
He deserved a crack at the Championship after his form with us and though it hasn't quite worked out for him up there he's still plenty young enough to be a problem in League One. I'm actually going down to the Northampton friendly against Norwich this weekend so it'll be good to see him.
I'll leave you with this - Eaves with the opener in our win at Portsmouth a few years ago. Not bad.
Glad to know he we was well loved, Brady certainly values attackers who are willing to put in hard yards up front.
