He played well in all his 18 games for us last season and was a big part of us pulling away from trouble, including his four goals. In a team playing more passing football he could flourish even more and do even better. Harris is not Championship standard I would agree and has been given enough of a chance and I would keep Watters over him any day. A player that is continually slagged off by a section of fans is hardly going to get any confidence. He is better suited to playing in a two up front and hasn’t really been tried in that role so far.
You're right about Etete but why oh why did we sign him? He should be playing in L1 and be a regular starter rather than hanging around with us. I just posted that Hugill can't leave Norwich because they are effectively a main striker down so I think it's pointless to keep going back to talking about him and we should have done better in the summer.

I think he played alright and pressed the way Morison wanted him to and had the energy levels to do the job for 70-80 mins but for me, faded after I'd watched his first 4 or 5 matches and wasn't the prolific scorer I wanted him to be plus...well...he was OK and I'd quite like us to have a main striker that is better than that. You're right though, he would do better in this squad but there's a striker down at Grangetown Harlequins that would do well in this squad too.
