he found himself in a rift with Manager Peter Taylor that saw him placed on the substitute bench. But Crystal Palace's chairman Simon Jordan responded to the claims that the pair had not fallen out, with Taylor having dealt with Morrison over their differences. He then managed to regain his first team place, making a number of starts as the club's first choice striker for the rest of the 2006. Morrison then added four more goals by the end of the year. This lasted until January when he found himself placed on the substitute bench, appearing in the club's four out of the club's six matches during the month. By February, Morrison regained his first team place as Crystal Palace's first choice striker once again. Towards the end of the 2006–07 season, Morrison scored six more goals, including three goals in two consecutive matches against Luton Town and Burnley. Despite failing to help the club reach the play–offs, he expressed his desire to stay at Crystal Palace. At the end of the 2006–07 season, Morrison went on to make forty–four appearances and scoring twelve times in all competitions, making him as the club's top scorer for the fifth time in his Crystal Palace's career. Ahead of the 2007–08 season, Morrison was given a number ten shirt at the club once again, having wore the number shirt in his first career at the club. He started the season brightly scoring twice in the first three games, taking himself to 99 goals in his Palace career. However, Morrison's target to score his 100th goal in his Crystal Palace's career became an albatross round his neck, and manager Peter Taylor dropped him from the starting line-up for several games. It was under new manager Neil Warnock that Morrison eventually scored his 100th Crystal Palace goal in the London derby against Queens Park Rangers (a club he has a knack for scoring against) on 10 November 2007, with an 88th-minute equaliser, making him the eighth player in the club's history to reach this milestone. Two years ago, Morrison said his aim was to score 100 goals for Crystal Palace. He was given a Special Achievement Award to mark this feat at the end of the season's "Player of the Year" ceremony. Despite suffering a knee injury, Morrison quickly recovered and scored a brace, in a 2–1 win against Colchester United on 24 November 2007.
