Harris got us into the playoffs, Rowett didn't.
Cooper has had a pre season, Harris didn't.
Harris has finished above Steve Cooper's side, which is full of loanees. They've got in because Brewster is amazing, and there is no way he'd come to a football team that plays the same way we do. If the Jacks don't go up, they've got a complete rebuild next season. I'd be amazed if they kept Ayew and Brewster.
We can't just start playing tiki take and be competitive, we've spent the last 3 seasons lumping it. Our fans boo when we pass it round the back as well. We aren't ever going to be that side.
It's absolute tripe that's been written on the back of a defeat because he's spent the last 4 months sulking because Harris has done a bloody good job with a pretty average hand.
The parts in bold are rather telling - does that mean that we are always and forever going to be a team that plays dreadful football and can therefore never attract any decent players? I’d have LOVED Brewster to come here and feel almost embarrassed that he wouldn’t because of the way we play! Now that IS depressing as clearly that style of football is the future (see every other team in the play offs, Man City, Liverpool etc etc)
Have you seen the stuff Rowett's sides play? We are getting better at football but we can't just say to the team, right from tomorrow it's little triangles, pass and move and patterns of play. That stuff takes absolutely ages. It took Guardiola a season with world class players at Man City.
Cooper had a decent reputation for working with young players, and attracted some quality loan signings.
If City had appointed any of the decent available candidates like Hughes, Pulis, Hughton, Jokanovic, they’d have attracted decent players based on what they’ve achieved, and players believing in them.
Harris won’t attract anyone decent, look at his January loan signings. Our better players will leave, to be replaced with journeyman, whereby we become a team competing in the bottom third of the division.
Millwall couldn’t wait to get shot of him, the supporters hated the football. Granted they had a rubbish squad, with arguably only two really decent players. But Rowatt transformed them, with good coaching.
Harris was a cheap option, and the club will go backwards under him.
Did you watch tonight’s game?
We didn’t have a shot on target for the 44 minutes, after they scored their first goal.
As for our football, or rather lack of, it was beyond dire.
But even worse, gutless, and devoid of any passion or fight.
We meekly laid down and rolled over, at home.
Embarrassing.
I'm not sure that starting Pack actually was a negative decision. He's in the team to sit in front of our centre-backs so the rest of our midfield and our full-backs can push higher up the pitch when we have the ball. I doubt that he would have played if Harris knew that we were going to have less than 40% possession.
