MY VIEW: FOR ME ONE OF NEIL HARRIS WORST GAMES IN

Sat Feb 22, 2020 4:50 pm

My View/ Opinion:

For me one of Neil Harris worst games in charge and against a very very poor Stoke City.

STAR CARDIFF PLAYER LEE TOMLIN WAS OUT INJURED AS CARDIFF CITY CRASH TO A DEFEAT TO 4TH FROM BOTTOM STOKE CITY.


Cardiff had been before today 7 games undefeated.

It is thought Tomlin will be out for at least 4 weeks. :cry:

Harris looked lost today with no ideas.

Also the players let the club and themselves down, awful .


First-half: once again Cardiff had a terrible first-half and had no urgency, but so were Stoke not much better.

For me this was a terrible performance by Cardiff and showed Harris is by no where near a promotion team manager.

Harris continually says this squad is quality, promotion material and if they play his way they will be feared and will get there.
I honestly do not see it.



Stoke had lost 3 of their last 4 league games including a hammering by Derby County 4-0.
Stoke were 21st in the Championship before today.




STOKE CITY 2 CARDIFF CITY 0 :cry: :cry:
Crowd 25,436
Away Support 1,405


Cardiff City: Smithies; Richards, Morrison, Nelson, Bennett; Adomah, Pack, Vaulks, Murphy; Ward, Paterson.

Subs: Neil Etheridge, Aden Flint,Leandro Bacuna,Joe Ralls,Gavin Whyte,Junior Hoilett ,Robert Glatzel.




There was no urgency from Cardiff and so far back to playing a bad first-half

Stoke no better

Then 25th min corner in from Stoke and hits Callum Paterson’s leg and bang 1-0
Stoke :cry:



As the game went on there was woeful defending from Cardiff Morrison and Nelson letting Stoke nearly score.



Over all An awful first-half by Cardiff.


H/T 1-0 :cry:


Double Substitution Glatzel and Hoilett came on for Ward and Murphy.


Stoke striker Campbell, son of ex Cardiff striker Kevin, has pace which was causing some concern for Nelson and Morrison


72nd min Smitthies saved, Nelson failed to clear it and bang Joe Allen made it 2-0 :cry: :cry:


Cardiff did come alive for a few minutes, but nothing much really.

Very disappointing.

Get him out a brief flirt with being near the playoffs but never really in the playoff picture

Season is over I think, not because of this result but depending on how long we are without tomlin. :(

That was a shocking performance..for me on par.with QPR away. Stoke were.such a poor side and for me vaulks only one for credit. No creativity, passion or desire...what worries me most is Harris love of jazz. He again was very poor today and Harris wants to offer a contract?

We are miles away from getting into playoffs....somehow table says we are.not

Harris will never be a winner,have said this since we gave him the job.
Awful today and never looked like scoring.
Tomlin has rescued us all season.
Even if we managed to go up can you imagine this Manager competing in the Premier league, not a cat in hells chance.
One of the worst performances of the season.

If it's a bad injury with tomlin seasons over we have no where enough quality in the team we dont have anyone who can come close to replacing Tomlin

Better off with Keith Harris and Orville.

I stand by what I said in a post a few weeks ago, we simply aren’t good enough for a play off spot this season,,, nowhere near good enough, in my opinion. We need a major overhaul this summer, in order to kick on next season,,, but when I hear NH talk about Certain players, with such esteem and confidence, I wonder, I really do,,, because what we need is a lot better than that,,, a lot lot better!

Harris is doing himself no favours what he says in the press
" we have so much quality in this squad"

Well clearly then they should be doing better or your tactically not capable to deal with quality u have. Or our both r failing

Think Harris record is half decent and hes bit of a scapegoat for our fans when a few players should really be looking at themselves too. Season is over for me tho 1 point from 6 when we really should of been looking at 4 minimum

Time to move on many of the players, we are in reality very little threat in many games with just Tomlin providing a threat with his goals and assists.
Players we can likely move on:
Ward
Jazz
Bamba
Junior
Day
Pack
Flint

We don’t have the quality despite what Warnock and Harris have both said.
How can we make the playoffs without a goalscorer in the side and simply we don’t have one.
Everyone has known this since a couple of games in.

1 point from 6 against the bottom 4 sums it up really

Lol this makes me laugh many dont comment when harris wins yet as soon as a defeat it's all on a nd kick fk out off him.
Look above at the players who ' should " leave. Mostly warnock's signing last 2 years and not harris had no money. Give him a chance ffs

Re: MY VIEW: FOR ME ONE OF NEIL HARRIS WORST GAMES IN

Sat Feb 22, 2020 5:50 pm

we were awful today, and losing our only in form player was a huge blow. I still think Neil Harris deserves a transfer window and a bit of time

I put it in my comments.

I pay my money to watch games home and away so should not have to justify my opinions to anyone.

Re: MY VIEW: FOR ME ONE OF NEIL HARRIS WORST GAMES IN

Sat Feb 22, 2020 5:58 pm

We have nothing on the bench that could change things and the boards january dealings where a joke 3 players not playing regular was hardly a push for the play offs
No ambition from board equals less fans next season.

Re: MY VIEW: FOR ME ONE OF NEIL HARRIS WORST GAMES IN

Sat Feb 22, 2020 6:04 pm

I also believe the players need to look at themselves as not so long ago many were playing in the Premier.
But I don’t believe Harris knows how to get the best out of them.

In fairness, there's not a manager in the whole league gonna come out and say his players are crap. We are a mid table side and nothing more.

Unfortunately you are right Don. At least there's no relegation battle. Somehow.

Re: MY VIEW: FOR ME ONE OF NEIL HARRIS WORST GAMES IN

There will be a relegation battle next season with him charge I really hope I am wrong.

The whole championship has been poor this season why do you think we are still within touching distance, that said it make it interesting for a lot of supporters
