We saw some 'green shoots' of football at the 1st home game under him, but that was it - as if the players just couldn't maintain it. We've now got the situation that apart from a few, most of the players know they could be on their way this month. Probably doesn't bother them either way. Providing we don't go down, I'd say get rid of as many as is possible now, and the same in January. Come August we'll then see whether Harris can do a decent job here.
I think you've summed it up pretty well. These are Warnock's players and whatever Harris does he is not going to get the best out of them. On top of that a good number know their days at CCS are limited.
I am expecting some big names to be gone, if not Jan, certainly June, which will raise eyebrows.
Only then can we truly judge Harris.
Whether the board give him time is another matter. A bad slump in form over the next few weeks could be curtains for him, imo.
