The club members are hoping that County will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the match against Blackburn Rovers (placed 4th). The gifted forward Morrison outperformed all the other footballers in that game and was awarded a match rating of 8.05 out of 10. Morrison scored one goal, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 24 successful passes (of 29 total).

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting AFC Bournemouth (0-2).
