    The players are not playing well individually, they seem to be all well below what we know they are capable of. The same goes for them all as a team, woeful performances. A team can have a player or tow having a poor time, but when 10 or 11 are playing well below expectation these are the results we get.

    Add in Harris' team selection and recruitment and we have a problem. Ojo and Wilson add benefits to the squad, but we lost Paterson so we are really only one player better off. Add in the loss off Bogle, Ward, Connolly, and Richards and the squad becomes depleted as these were not great and a drain on resources have not fully been replaced. Then we have the injuries and illness to Osei-Tutu, Morrison, Flint, Bamba, Moore, and Tomlin and we end up seeing some kids on the bench to make up the numbers.

    The lack of recruitment of a right back and a midfielder last summer has cost us dearly, While he did sign Ojo and Wilson to play out wide we already had Murphy, Hoilett and Whyte, so we ended up with 5 die players, 3 left backs and no right back. The tactics do not seem to be working, if there are indeed tactics? Players who are usually stalwarts of the team like Morrison, are way off the mark this year, We look devoid of any competence to defend, attack or play any sort of football.

    A good comparison was when I watched highlights of games from last season and the contrast is stark, even more so when you see some of the highlights from the Chopra, Bothroyd, Whittingham era. Like chalk and cheese.

    And last night was weird. We signed a full back and put him in and he played well apparently. And then he picks Watters to start, ahead of more experience players who normally play in that position . And when he decides to hook him, he puts Harris on. What must Holiett, Murphy and Ojo think about that? And what formation were we playing in the end? No right back, and three up front, and long balls.

    It looks like the players have lost faith in the manager, as have all the fans. I did take a peek at the other board and the comments from the rabble over there are laughable, a load nonsensical tosh. We have to have a quick turn around in form and if we can doing that we might finish 9th or 10th this year, if n to we will get dragged down with the relegation strugglers. So sadly it is time for change. Harris talks a good talk but it is now clear he cannot deliver a decent footballing side when he has very good footballers in his squad. Next season will be worse when we have no parachute payment coming in a fire sale in the summer.
    5 dead players? No wonder we are hurtling towards relegation :hehe:

      Bellamy summed it up perfectly in his interview with Scott Johnson recently. He would want 3-5 years to change it but the fans are too impatient they want instant success.
      Harris is a professional and making a pretty decent wedge. And he's been in the game long enough to not worry what fans think. It's the club hierarchy that will fire him. The club and Harris have been very fortunate that the fans have been unable to vote with their feet this season. And Harris has been given time and has been able to bring in new players. Instead of improving on last season, we have regressed. If we could see where this is going it might be different. I think the players have had enough, I think Harris has had enough.

      As for him being honest, if he was honest he could at least tell us what he's trying to do. Saying "I'm trying to win games, it's up to the club if they want to sack me" is factual. (and stating the obvious) It's not what I'd call honest.

          Was he also mentioning how Matondo was playing? :hehe:

          In fairness, the football is woeful and we didn't create anything until we went behind, as per bloody usual.

              So just because its stating the obvious hes not being honest? :hehe:

              What are you suggesting? That he is purposely trying to lose?

              Harris may not be everyones cup of tea but one thing he isnt is false. He doesnt piss down your back and tell you its raining, unlike the man who come before him.

                Tony Pulis would be quite funny. The usual suspects wont have time to sharpen their knives.

                  Unfortunately Harris is now sounding like a broken record. I wouldn't call his ramblings dignified, just a last ditch desperate attempt to stay in a job.

                  Until last night, I thought it best for him to stay until the end of the season, safe in the knowledge that we would muddle through, picking up some wins and draws on the way. But, I think it's now evident that he doesn't have a cogent plan of how he can effect an upturn in results in either the short or medium term.

                  Unlike Warnock he is not a motivator, so coupled with his lack of tactical nous, I really don't see him being able to put a halt to this disastrous run of results.

                    Pulis would be a disaster of an option.

                            Cardiff city job would be a great job in football for most managers.

                            I doubt Pep or Jose have Cardiff in their sights , there wont be many others who wouldn't like the job though, especially those without a job or the up and coming in the lower leagues..

                            Harris has had a go , he is failing . Its modern football , we sack the manager

                              Why?

                              He couldn’t be any way worse than Harris.

                              He’s a ‘local’ boy who used to support City, not one of the modern day mercenaries.

                              Plus, he has an excellent CV, and is one of the few non legendary managers, to win the Premier League manager of the season.

                              I’d be more than happy with that ‘disaster’ of an option.

                                I agree about the time however we are not seeing the start to any plan of change.
                                This is basically Warnockball but with players with less motivation
