The returning front man, by his own admission, is behind the rest of the squad in terms of fitness but still has hopes of featuring next week against Dagenham & Redbridge.

Morrison came on for the last 30 minutes against Rovers on Saturday and came close to scoring on a number of occasions - including with his first touch from a Wednesday corner.

He told Wednesday Player: "I'm obviously a few weeks behind the rest of the lads but that's not going to stop me going to the gaffer and saying I want to start on Saturday because I know if I get half a chance I can put it in the net.

"Everyone wants to be in with a shout because Saturday is what counts now."

The 30-year-old has had some minor injuries that have kept him out of featuring in pre-season but the striker felt good after Saturday's match at the Keepmoat.

He went on: "I've had this groin and back problem for the last two weeks but I've been training these last four days, trying to do catch up running. It's hard but I felt good at Doncaster and better than I thought I would when I got on the pitch."

Focus is now on the opening League One fixture next week and Morrison will be confident going into the all-important clash at Hillsborough.

He added: "If we create chances like we did against Doncaster, then we'll definitely score goals.

"The most important thing is to get it right when the league games start, obviously you want to get it right in pre-season but the most important thing is next Saturday."
