Took the ball on the half turn, second touch to set himself up and what a finish. Real quality. The best thing about that goal was that he knew that he had the space to turn into, he's had a little look, that's the difference, most players would've taken a touch then turned, and defender upon them. That was real class.
He's always had the class he just didn't always apply himself, perhaps we should credit Harris with bringing him to the fore once again .
Indeed ,well done tomlin , well done harrisQuote:

Harris has inherited a squad and is still trying to work out his best side.
Become hard to beat and you always have a chance of winning the game with a player like Tomlin.
That pass he made over to Murphy (i think) during the first half, from right to left, about 40 yards and squeezed between two Luton defenders . Good grief, that was world class, the ball could only go one place and the defenders would've known that but they still couldn't get to the ball. He's got a wand of a right foot and the vision of a Hawk. The rest of his game isn't brilliant, but that pass and his goal were the stuff that we should be talking about on here. I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned already. I don't think people realise how good and rare moments like that are.Quote:

The man is a joy to watch.
When he signed for us I was so pleased, because against us he always looked so dangerous - then Warnock never played him. Well done Harris.
:ayatollah:
He’s a class act when he’s on it. Hes making Warnock look like a right **** with every passing week.Quote:

I remember noticing him (and I rarely notice players on the opposing team) when he played against us for the Wurzels and disliking him intensely as he was really mouthy and always in everyone’s face.Quote:

Sad thing is hes at the twilight of his career , real shameQuote:

But hey a win's a win!
Blooobirdsss!
You are right. It WAS the only piece of decent football in the whole game :-0Quote:
