Little bit of hyperbole from Harris there. Fact is, both Bristol and Millwall did a job on us. Down to Harris to get our tactics right and players performing.
Which he can do by bringing in Benkovic or even Bamba to replace either Mozzer or Nelson. Too many early goals conceded by mistakes from our centre backs. Also, put Bacuna back in midfield and try Bagan, maybe Benkovic or Cunningham (supposedly fit) at right back.
I wouldn't go as far as excellent, but we've been worth a lot more than 6 points from the last 6 games.
Bournemouth outplayed us and we were lucky to get anything from that game, every game since we probably could have done better

I can think of lots of ways to describe the performances but none of them are anywhere NEAR excellent - this is truly worrying if this is Harris' idea of 'excellent' :yikes:
With some l better luck we could have won both games, in particular the Millwall games , watched it again and we had so many chances a great save by the keeper at the death
Excellent means winning ten from twelve, with two draws. That's excellent.
He also said this. Remove the obvious hyperbole (excellent twice, dominating once) and his assessment seems fair.Quote:
"I don’t think you can reassure fans, not in the modern society. It’s all about yesterday and tomorrow, not next week.
"What I’d say is, I’m frustrated and I understand the fans’ frustration because ultimately, over the last eight years, this club has been successful.
"Fans want success and we have had a spell of games where we have not won as many as we should have done and that’s what the fans feel, they want to see their team win.
"The majority accept that we’ve played well. I accept that playing well against Bristol City and not winning might not cut it in a local derby and I accept that. I’m not saying that’s acceptable.
"Dominating the game at the weekend and being as good as we were, I have to expect my teams to win more games than not, playing like that.
"The team is playing well at the moment and results will come off the back of that.
"Everyone watching sees a good team but it’s down to my players to get the result."
There's a difference between performances and resultsQuote:

'Could have done better' is always more problematic than 'gave it their best', that feeling that we could be doing better than we actually are.
Here's the beef, could be a little harsh, but the last 15 against Millwall was a reaction, not a performance.Quote:

As for the points we could have got, sadly the league is decided by points obtained in reality not ones we felt we could have.
