I argued that Warnock should stay after relegation but now realise I got that wrong. It was such an enjoyable ride and so many good memories (Warnock chapter one) but the summer, winter, summer window before he left on good terms were more bad than good and, especially when you have a reluctance to develop youth, two or three below par windows was not recoverable from. We were left, as most Warnock teams are, with an older squad needing to rebuild and no easy way to do that (Warnock chapter two).
Harris is trying to develop this side and if you think he's struggling then the idea that Eddie Howe could come in with very little money to spend and do it is questionable.
Of course not, that ship has sailed.
Neither do I want the sacking of Neil Harris.
We have not played anywhere near as well as we can, yes there is something not quite right, but we are only 10 games in.
We have some new players trying to bed in and some injuries to key players.
He hasn't got a war chest.
Harris needs time to sort it out and not people calling for his head.
No thanks. Some short memories on here. He did a great job when he was here but left us with an ageing, slowing squad. This is Harris's first squad, he needs time to develop it.
No
We've moved on - As much as I adored Warnock it was a time for a change - the signings of Vassell and Flint were appalling waste of monies - his methods are never long term but are bloody great in turning things around with a them and us attitude - it wears after 2 to 3 years though
Give Harris more time - but christ that was painful in midfield tonight - Ralls and Vaulks were awful and who made Morrison a playmaker
Why do our fans think so much in the here and now.
You can't keep chopping and changing you've got to look at sustainability and a future not a quick fix.
Harris can't change the style of play overnight with the same personnel it's going to take time.
We had a great end to last season and have had an OK start to this season.
A bit of patience wouldn't go a miss but I know we won't get it because so many of our fans have never known real shite.
I also don't understand this argument. We were bloody awful 25 years ago so it's OK to be awful now? We're now a big club by Championship standards. Man United fans don't go, well we got relegated in the mid 70s so it's OK that we're a bit of an also ran now. We've got good players, we've got a great stadium and we've not finished below 12th in the Championship for over a decade. We've been out of the basement divisions for longer than we were in it, it's time to move on.
This time last week people were queuing up to have a pop at Bluebird 23 for having a go at Neil Harris, now, after a couple more games where we came back from a goal down there are those who have switched sides it appears! We're not playing well, not scoring anywhere near enough goals and are a dull team to watch based on what I've seen this season, but I certainly don't want Warnock back - once was enough and we wouldn't have reached the Play Offs with him in charge.
I couldn't watch last night's match, but the radio commentary in the first half especially did not make for easy listening. It seems to me that Neil Harris thinks Pack, Ralls, Vaulks and Bacuna represents a good Championship midfield - all of them have their plus points, but as a quartet we don't have enough technique, invention and ball retention skills. I don't believe that means our manager should go though, after all, the four of them were good enough to help us to fifth place last season. That was with an in form Lee Tomlin though -unfortunately, last night sounded much like I expected it to be when I heard Wilson and Tomlin were not available.
You're right. While his distribution is often lacking I put that down to lack of movement and options in front of him. Since Warnock has left he does try to bring the ball out and look for shorter passes. Pack is usually the one who drops deep and he is a good sideways passer, but when Pack isn't in the team Morrison has few options..
