Taxi for Harris......

Re: Taxi for Harris......

We need to have realistic expectations and in the current financial climate only a fool would do anything rash. It is what it is and disappointing as it is when we lose we're gonna have to take it on the chin for a while. We've had some recent successes and we're operating on a paper thin squad with shortfalls in many areas but these aren't gonna be filled until we can get back to filling the CCS and bringing some £££ into the coffers.

Re: Taxi for Harris.....

Who wasted the money? Warnock pissed our chances of bouncing back up the wall. Harris has recruited well and we are well short all over the pitch in terms of players

I said the CLUB has wasted the parachute payments not necessarily Harris !
But has Recruited well !! Really !! Are you watching the games ?? Against the better teams we look well off the pace , hoping for a breakaway or set pieces , have only 1 right back on the books who is on loan and injured ,no creativity in midfield!!

Re: Taxi for Harris......

so last season when we were floundering around then put a run together to get us into the play offs , what was your analysis ?

And whats different this time ?

We have moore to come back , an average squad with a front man who scores goals always has a chance

Everything to play for , I don't understand what people expect

When we returned from lockdown, we hit the ground running, beat Leeds and Preston comfortably, while others started shabbily. We were difficult to beat, particularly under Harris. We were able to recover situations in games.

This season we've lost 8 already after 21 games. We'd only lost 9 after 37 by the time we went into lockdown. Much of our problem was the high number of draws we'd managed, but most of those draws were games where we were behind.

We beat the two automatically promoted sides. We got draws at home to Fulham and Brentford, who competed in the playoff final. We also beat Forest, Preston and Bristol City, sides above us at the time of lockdown. This season we've been comfortably beaten by 4 of the top 5 and looked off the pace in all of those games.

That's it. I don't think many are expecting anything this season. I'd be very surprised if we finished in the top 6 and feel that overall we haven't performed as well this season as we did last. We've got to find a way of getting results against teams above us to stand any chance at all.

Against the current top 6 we've scored 4 goals, 2 from set pieces, one decent team goal and a 70 yarder. We have struggled to break down the better sides, though that could just be that the better sides in the division are better than they were last season.

Re: Taxi for Harris......

You don't get promoted by chopping and changing the manager every season

On here , some want heads to roll every other week

Actually that’s not true, just look at our recent history, we sacked Ole and got into the play offs in Malky’s first season and promoted the next.

We sacked Paul Trollope and Warnock kept us up and then got us promoted the following season

So in recent history sacking the manager got us promoted the season after

Lots of clubs sack the manager and then get promoted, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t but to say sticking with a manager when it’s clearly not working doesn’t always make sense, we were going down under Trollope before Warnock turned it around

Moore, Wilson, Ojo, JOT are all starters for us. Harris has bought well, it's not his fault our budget is stretched and wasted on dross like Vassell, Flint and Whyte.

I would have been very much in the yes camp a season ago. The winless run with Schalke was as bad as I've seen and his expressionless face on the sidelines reminded me a lot of Ole in his pomp here. Schalke are still in a tail spin and if they don't win in the next few are in line to take the all time winless top division record from Tasmania Berlin which takes some doing.
