Personally great news. Really delighted with that.

he was definitely better than evans, and i think bentley will be a decent back up (and cheap)

 

[WESTY_SUFC]

Pleased with that and also happy that we are using Bentley as cover. Will allow for Evans wages to be invested in positions which need improving (i hope)

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

No surprise but good news nevertheless.

 

[TrueBlue]

Yes its nice to see we are doing things early!

 

[easton8]

Good to sign players early, so you know whats left in the pot (not a lot) to make offers to potential new signings

 

[BaileytheQuitter]

Morris is a fairly decent keeper so good news. I do wonder who would sign Evans, what with clubs now moving towards only having one pro keeper.

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Good news. I think he's solid enough and much better than Evans but was this ever really in doubt? He's probably fairly local due to his Orient days with a young family and I can't imagine clubs were queueing up for him.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

I think that's the biggest statement so far about our ambition for next season.

Oh well.

....Evans has had about 10 clubs to impress already......just aint got it!

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Great news, best keeper weve had since Bart.

Slow news day. I think this was a formality as his contract last season was due to automatically extend should he play a certain number of games, which he did.

Interesting it true, and I wonder if it was a factor when Evans was preferred to Morris on a couple of occasions last year.

The pen will run out ink at this rate...

Great news as Morris was clearly number 1, though I would have been happy to have kept Evans as a backup, as he was needed this season. But with money being an issue, hopefully we will have enough support if needed next season with the young ones!

 

[Southend Neil]

Cant say I'm overly delighted at him being our number 1, was hoping he would be the no 2 and we would get someone better in. Then again I guess thats being greedy in the current climate.

Average for league 2 I would suggest but doesn't command his box enough for me.

 

[Shrimpergonzo]

Article on OS about Morris signing also says that Bentley has agreed a 2 year pro deal as GK cover.

Morris probably had to bring his own pen.
