Re: Mark Harris

29 appearances for us (don't know how many starts but Mad Mick played him and so did Neil Harris) and just 4 goals (don't know how many assists). 16 appearances for Newport (under Flynn who I believe didn't start him many times) and other than that it's been Port Vale & Wrexham. 3 Wales caps this year.

I think I'm with you on this but yeah, been a square peg in a round hole for us but not his fault.

11 starts, a lot of his substitute appearances have been fleeting

I think Harris is a decent player and has improved massively since getting his shot in the first team

Re: Mark Harris

He'll be 23 in a couple of months. How many players make it at Championship level without establishing themselves as first-team regulars by that age?

When Kieffer Moore was 24, he was playing for Forest Green in the Conference.

I think he's improved massively too and I'm really pleased for him. I know a lot of his substitute appearances have been fleeting but I didn't realise it had been 11 starts.

I've found myself pendulum swinging over performances over the last couple of seasons though as it's all been so chaotic and it's hard to judge sometimes. There have definitely been times for me when he's felt anonymous but I do appreciate that's hardly surprising with our team performances.

Doesn't that prove my point? Kieffer Moore's career trajectory is a massive outlier.

Re: Mark Harris

It's all about playing them to suit their strengths and we haven't.

He's had to come in at short notice like a last minute boxer..and the only one of them I've seen show up was the Spanish lad who boxed hattons lads head off...in other words it's hard to achieve and quite rare.

Re: Mark Harris

Jamie Vardy was still a non league player at 22 I believe.

In a word, no.

Phil Stant was fighting the Argentines at that age too … I doubt Vardy was playing at this level either. Plenty of others take time to come through.

Think we need a bit of patience with him

Re: Mark Harris

Paul Parry was 23 when he joined City from Conference side Hereford in 2004. He did alright.

Going off topic, but what a lovely man he is. Working in Debenhams warehouse when he got the call. Ely boy, as was Barry jones, both world champions.

He may not come good, but I think he's got a better chance with a manager who plays with a little more freedom..
