Retained list

Re: Retained list

Agree with this. He has pace, works hard, but is not a natural goal scorer. Every squad needs his like. He reminds me a bit of Cohen Griffith

I think more a poor man's Danny Ward. Ward was a competent finisher who prospered when games opened up an defences were stretched and tired but as a starter rarely made a huge impression. Harris runs the channels and pressures defences but not sure he opens them up. An asset if you are 1-0 up with 20 to go but not sure he changes much when, more often than not, we are one down at home as he doesn't have the technical skills to make a difference.

Re: Retained list

Fair enough Bob, good enough reasons, although where i will disagree with you is when you talk about the team not showing up in an attacking sense, or front foot as you put it, in terms of the three players mentioned, but, in my opinion that's an excuse, decent footballers find a way to show us what they're about in my opinion, tney'll get the ball enough times during a game that shows us that they have something, it might not come off, but as supporters i think that we can recognise quality, even in a poor team with crap tactics, Nathan Blake didn't have that problem and he played in some awful City sides, we just knew that he was better than the others.

That has to be the longest sentence in the history of CCMB! :hehe:

Btw: I agree with your assessment of Harris.

:hehe: Do i win a prize? I like Harris, and he'll make a career out of being an honest grafter, But surely we've all seen enough?

League two standard at best, he shouldn’t be anywhere near to a Championship squad never mind the starting lineup

Not until we sign better. An overlooked dynamic.

Re: Retained list

Ben Foster is staying on at Wrexham. Is he any worse than Allsopp or Alnwick?

Re: Retained list

Along the same lines Paul Mullin or Mark Harris ? I don’t think Wrexham would prefer Harris!

More like Derrek Showers.

Signing better players becomes difficult if you’re working within a tight budget but filling your squad with limited grafters.

Neither do I. Forward grafters don't score many goals. Mullin knows the positions to get into and can provide a spark of genius. Harris works hard.

Re: Retained list

Paul Mullin is 28. Hes barely scored a goal above L2.

Lets get a grip.

Foster is an England International and obviously better than our 2.

Would you rather have Mullin up front for us or Harris?

I really dont know. I havent seen enough of Mullin but hes got no record above L2 for scoring goals.

Despite not being supportive of Mullin at Championship level, you're not sure about Harris either. I think that says more about Harris.

I think Harris can do a job in a squad in a Championship club whose realistic aim will be Championship survival.

Ideally we need better. But as we are under embargo ive no issue with him being given a 1 year deal.

I think he will probably leave anyway.
