I think most people are just disappointed.
Disappointed that our "marquee" signing prior to the start of the 2013/14 season hasn't lived up to expectations.
Disappointed that he seems to have lost his way fitness wise - albeit through an unfortunate shoulder injury.
Disappointed that he's managed to get himself embroiled in Twitter "controversy". I mean, who at the age of 31 should be getting involved with a teenager like this anyway? Back. Duck. Water.
Disappointed that he's undoubtedly one of the higher earners at Argyle, yet contributed less than Jake Cole, Rommy Boco, Andres Gurrieri, Durrell Berry, Luke Young, Maxime Blanchard and Neal Trotman all year, yet retains payment for another year whilst the aforementioned are in, or are seeking alternative employment due to a perceived lack of quality/product.
One thing's for certain - Marvin Morgan has declined as a footballer in the last 18 months.
The question is; can he get himself up for the fight and turn it around? I'm not sure at this stage, but I'll support him whilst he wears a Green shirt.

Storm in a teacup, footballers will always get stick if they are not trying or are woeful. Are they such little lambs that they get affected by a few words FFS let's be honest they get paid well enough. A cross section here like or dislike him, I have yet to see him have a major impact but I hope he does.

Was that the shaven headed Peter Distin who used to be involved in local football? Think he was on the coaching staff at Argyle as well come to think of it,didn't realise he was involved with the first team though.

Good post, very disappointed to date with Marvin's performances, he came to us with a good reputation and League 1 interest and yet has failed to put in performances anywhere near to the level I'd expect from a player with his reputation coming to our club.
Sunday was a story of two halves for me, the team as a whole sparked into life in the second half but Morgan more so than most seemed to be a completely different player. For the first time he actually looked like a player who was putting something into his game which gave us an extra option going forward. I think it helped that he was pushed out wide as he went from a big man up front to lump the ball towards to an outlet on the wing who ended up making some good runs into the area.
As for the Twitter controversy, both sides are as bad as each other IMO. Pie Face for having a pop in the first place and Marvin for getting involved in petty squabbles on the internet despite supposedly being a professional with a vast amount of experience in the game with previous in this sort of social media silliness.

I have met him, at the PASALB Christmas shindig last year. He arrived reasonably early, sat through a presentation on an Argyle team from the 1950s, took part in a Q&A, and then hung around for quite some time afterwards talking to supporters individually. Must have been there for a good couple of hours, chatting to a bunch of strangers with whom he has very little in common, when he could have been at home with his family a week or so before Christmas. Before leaving, he made a point of going round the room and shaking hands with everybody still present.
I'd suggest that that's probably a better reflection of his character and regard for the fans than anything you might discern from twitter. This thread is depressing, not because of any judgement it casts on Marvin Morgan, but because it shows so many young fans would rather spend their time poring over the utterances of lower league footballers on the internet when they should be out chatting up girls or occupying government buildings or whatever. You're completely wasting your lives.
I don't like the moaning at fans for voicing their opinions, but the ONE thing I have to admit does grate is the way one player is always singled out for abuse. First noticed it with Steve Adams, then Luke Summerfield got ridiculous stick. I'm not on about the internet trolls; it the abuse from the crowd after a misplaced pass I don't like. Players should not be made afraid to try things.
Thought Marvin looked ok on Sunday... he could possibly be a bit of a cult hero in a winning team this season.
Cannot judge a player accurately against a Premier League side! He showed enough in the second half to suggest he could be a decent player for us. Morgan was involved in the game more than Reid.. surprisingly no negative comments towards him! I hope Morgan proves a lot of people wrong this season.
Anyone who's saying Morgan has had a good pre-season wasn't there at either Tavistock or Torquay.
