Morris would be a dream to play with - Gee
'Strikers love to feed off a bigger man. He'd be a dream to play with"

Former Derby striker Phil Gee has said the Rams' in-form forward Carlton Morris would be "a dream to play with".
Morris has scored 10 goals in 15 Championship appearances since arriving in the summer from Luton Town.
"When we played Luton last season I said he's the type of the player we need because we're getting the ball up front and it's coming right back where as with Carlton we put the ball up to him and he'll hold it up, he'll hold the defenders off, " Gee told BBC Radio Derby.
"As a striker myself, who used to like to feed off a bigger man, he'd be a dream to play with."
Morris' goals and overall play have been an influential component of a Derby side that has recorded five straight wins to move up to 10th in the Championship table and within two points of the play-off places.

"He's confident. When you're scoring you get confidence," Gee added. "Every time you get a chance in your mind you're going to score because you're confident that that ball is going to go in.
"You get a dry spell and you sort of start snatching at things. You can see with Carlton the confidence is oozing out of him. He's one-on-one with the keeper, you know he's going to score."
