Harris must be doing a lot of soul searching at the moment.If theres one thing that MM has achieved its making Harris look a bit silly and a few fans apparently.:hehe:

I almost feel sorry for Harris - Unlikely he'll be getting a championship level job again any time soon IMO.

Underwhelmed at first, and then thought it might be the way for us to plan for the future. Well, the future is Mick :hehe:

Doing an absolutely unbelievable job, getting a tune out of everyone and playing to our strengths, while also being exciting. He's also made our long throws half decent :hehe:

Re: Come on. Hands up. Whos willing to admit they were wrong

I was very underwhelmed but he's been great. Comes across must more forward thinking than Warnock too.

exactly this

100% me. Can't remember exactly what I posted but something as blunt as "I don't want him as manager". Lovely.

I'm always prepared to give people the benefit of doubt and a chance to prove themselves. Writing someone off, with his experience, before hes even looked at the squad list is daft and (so far) have been proved wrong.
So many people always want a young progressive, ambitious manager, but our most successful appointments again and again have been older experienced heads.

Re: Come on. Hands up. Whos willing to admit they were wrong

I wasn’t sure what to expect but would not have believed what has been achieved to be possible.

Most of us believed that our players were better than their performances and it’s been great to see the improvement in individuals.
To see the tactics change, the confidence build.

I always thought that the guys put in a reasonable shift even if not effective but the work rate now is phenomenal and to see the guys hunting the ball in all parts of the pitch, the pressing, the running has been great.

The other noticeable change over the last few matches has been our ability to retain the ball and reduced times of giving the ball away although we can still be better at that and certainly when playing out of defence.

Re: Come on. Hands up. Whos willing to admit they were wrong

It’s clearly been brilliant so far. The team looks energised snd they are playing with purpose.

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, though. He didn’t have much of an act to follow in terms of first team performance and although he’s done a fantastic job, some of that is down to having a generally decent squad that was massively underachieving, which needed tweaking.

Sterner tests await, which will inform us as to where we are, but he’s delivered in spades, so far.

I still doubt he’s the long term answer, but this being Cardiff City, he’ll probably get a two year deal and be sacked in January 2022.

Don’t forget, at the end of last season, there was a similar thread about Neil Harris and that didn’t turn out too well.

As an aside, I’m starting a new job on Monday at a company called McKarthy!

Re: Come on. Hands up. Whos willing to admit they were wrong

He's proved everyone wrong hasn't he? No one could have foreseen this. I always thought our squad was better, and was perplexed as to how they looked so awful, and about what could be one to change it. I was not enthused by MM's appointment. But you have to say that so far, he has not put a foot wrong. He's got everyone in the team playing better as individuals, the shape of the team looks better, you can't fault the effort and drive. I didn't think Vaulks and Pack worked together, but they do. I didn't think we had the right players for a back three, but we do. And finally, Aden Flint? What can I say? He's playing like a captain. I was definitely wrong about him.

Re: Come on. Hands up. Whos willing to admit they were wrong

I never liked MMc, it was always a big joke between me and my dad that he was just constantly dour and miserable whenever I saw him on tv. That coupled with the need for a proper change meant I was hugely underwhelmed when he came onboard. Early days but I feel like an idiot now, he's been brilliant, can't fault him

Dave Jones was 48 when he came to Cardiff.

Re: Come on. Hands up. Whos willing to admit they were wrong

Happy to admit that i called for Mick in a thread all the way back on the 23/10/19 before Harris joined. Also backed him up as the rumours started and when he was hired. :thumbup:

Re: Come on. Hands up. Whos willing to admit they were wrong

I have seen lots of posts, that see Ipswich as a bad stain in his CV.

But I have always been under the impression he did really well at Ipswich? Didn't they refuse to spend money for years and years, the fact he kept them a mid table championship side for so long under terrible conditions was a good achievement.
Proven by what has consequently happened to them as soon as he left.

I also remember MM's Ipswich being a very difficult game for Cardiff whenever we travelled there.
