Mark Harris rumour

[Former Labour leader]

Off on loan to Div 1 club.
May or not be true but I cant make my mind up about him. If he does go, though we will definitely need a replacement as really he is our no3 striker.

For his development, it's probably best if he goes and plays week in, week out. If he does go, we need to replace him. I think if we can replace him with someone better (now him and Whyte have gone), it should be a positive for him and the club.

Re: Mark Harris rumour

Can he play wide ?

Re: Mark Harris rumour

He seemed to have established himself as a squad player, he's certainly 3rd choice as Vasell is unreliable. Be an odd one if he goes and will need replacing unless Mick fancies Zimba/Davies?

Re: Mark Harris rumour

Good for club and player BUT we can’t afford it unless there’s another striker coming in.

He would hopefully get more playing time at Rotherham or Fleetwood - but as you say he is our third striker now (until Bale turns up!)

The second article quotes Tomlin and Vassell as striker options, meaning we can afford Harris to go out on loan. If only!

I suppose Murphy, Davies and Colwill are also in the mix, but I think Mark Harris would get a fair bit of game time for us this season.

Murphy through the middle would be worth a shot

The younger lads can probably afford more time being around the squad. Harris is a bit older now and maybe can't afford another season playing bench warmer/part player.

Could be a good thing all round, as said above, and now 2 have gone out maybe we can afford one in.

Re: Mark Harris rumour

I dont think this is a good idea. I think he should stay. Think he will get some decent game time with us.

Re: Mark Harris rumour

Sometimes I watch him play and think wow he’s our most promising youngster.

Sometimes I watch him play and think wow didn’t know he was playing.

Re: Mark Harris rumour

He offers something different. Collins runs his socks off but he’s a work horse and isn’t going to stretch the defence. Ok the level of opposition wasn’t great yesterday but Harris looked very lively.

So what if he’s 3rd in the pecking order. Moore and Collins will get injuries / need a rest and we need options off the bench.

Unless we’ve got someone lined up I just don’t see it.

Re: Mark Harris rumour

Should anything be read into Harris being, not for the first time, mentioned almost as an afterthought when he listed his striking options after yesterday’s game? Harris seems to be behind only Moore and Collins in the striking pecking order to me and, as such, would not be a candidate to be loaned surely? However, another thing our manager heavily hinted at was that he sees little need for wingers, so is Josh Murphy going to be used primarily through the middle when he’s fit?

Re: Mark Harris rumour

Loaning out Harris would be a mistake as he has proven he can score goals at this level and as we look like we may often play a front two with someone like Tomlin just behind instead of wingers this season we'd need 4 players battling for the front two spots not three and an occasionally fit Vassell.

Re: Mark Harris rumour

I'm wary of keeping a player "just in case" especially when he could get a good run of games elsewhere. If Moore or Collins are ahead of him he's only going to get 10 minutes here and there. If either of those get injured he could still be on the bench and if both are out we could try Davies or Zimba for a while, or recall Harris if needs be.
