Harris has done a pretty good job
Now of course against two relegation sides we have fecked up but there are still 13 games to go
Win a couple on the bounce and we are in with a sniff
Keep on keeping on

Biggest week of the season if we have playoff ambitions. Anything less than 4 points and I fear we can forget it. Our main avenue of creativity has gone and I don't think we have an answer, other than to bludgeon out goals a la Warnock style.Quote:

36, actually. It appears you've reached for that 75% proof homemade rhubarb wine particularly early this evening.
Season's over. Neil Harris has done well. And in such a short time too. I wonder where we would be if he had started the season with us.
I can’t agree with that I’m afraid.Quote:

He deserves some credit for playing Tomlin who has been carrying the team, and FINALLY dropping Flint when everyone else could see it weeks ago.
Beyond that I haven’t seen anything yet to warrant such commendations.
Today’s performance and result only serve to reaffirm to me that this team is nowhere near ready for promotion and is far too reliant on Tomlin.
Well fortunately, as of today they have both managed us for 17 games this season:Quote:

Harris has the better record and yet it was Warnock who had the entire summer to sign and train players.
Harris's defensive stats are skewed somewhat by 1 abysmal performance at QPR. He has made us defensively better, even if that's been at a cost of some poor quality gamesQuote:

He's done OK. But today was a huge step backwards. We didn't play football today and resorted to head tennis, long balls and long throws. And Paterson stayed on the pitch for 90 minutes. It was like Warnock never left. Rubbish.
New manager bounce: phrase to describe short-term upturn in results following change of manager midseason. Not sustained.Quote:

I was going to say judgement should be saved until March onwards when his ideas had been given time to take hold but Tomlin being out now means it's likely to be a sluggish and his impact will be judged from new year to today's date instead. Here's hoping we finally get a good summer window as 0 from 3 would really set us back when coinciding with downgrading of parachute payments.
harris is better thn worncock but the team is shite.
6 points is a lot. 6 more points would have us in the playoffs right now.Quote:
