If Wikipedia is accurate, then it doesn’t make for pretty reading. These are players who, by and large, should be in their pomp. Yet with many I find myself hoping that they will improve under Harris’ tutelage. I know that the youngsters haven’t had a look under Warnock but I just didn’t realise how concerned I should really be.

Etheridge - 29
Richards - 28
Flint - 30
Nelson - 26
Peltier - 33
Pack - 28
Bacuna - 28
Mendez-Laing - 27
Murphy - 24
Tomlin - 30
Glatzel - 25

Paterson - 25
Madine - 29
Ward - 28

Age aside, Murphy is the biggest concern. I don’t think he is bereft of confidence, I think he has a real attitude problem and will have done nothing to show Harris he should be retained next month. But how can we even begin to hope to recoup a large portion of the outlay?
