Sadly, a sign of the times where many players are 'happy' to sit on their contracts rather than put a shift in and play football

A bit of tongue in cheek just be careful what you wish for harris on about trimming the sqaud but with players dropping like flies we are 4 players down and we don' t know how long they will be out.

Didn't you predict 3-0 to Wednesday ?
Fans need to believe a little more and support the team and manager

I did, as did the bookies. Never saw that one coming, but in my defence, I have never criticised our manager, or any individual players with the exception of Zohore. I have no problems with us not being good enough providing people are making an effort. My gripe is with people who have a bit of ability, but do not appear to take pride in wearing the shirt. Whatever I feel about the appointment of Harris, he will have my backing unless it becomes blatantly obvious he is not able to hack it here. Performances may have been below par, but it is a results business, and so far he is doing ok as far as I am concerned.

I will. Just wish Bristol had lost. Be nice to see us higher up the table than them. Maybe next time.

Etheridge and NML are in their 3rd season with us while Hoilett, Richards, Bamba and Bennet have been here over 3 years. Morrison for 6 years and Connolly for 7 years and Ralls for about the same period. Not a problem with that but when we factor in the money Warnock wasted on players who have failed to perform, like Murphy, Reid, Glatzel, Bogle, Madine, Ward, Vassell, Whyte, Vaulks, Bacuna at the same time some of the others like Ralls, Morrison and NML had a drop in form it's no wonder we are having a difficult time. But after today's result we are 10th and 2 points off the Play Offs so it does show we do have talent, even in this year's poor Championship.
But as stated above it is difficult to unload players who are under contract, if they decide to stay and pick up their money. But the squad does need to turnover. Somebody at the club, Warnock?, was instrumental in giving Connolly, Richards and Bamba longer contracts. And still we see no youngsters coming through, except a few who played in he League Cup game.
Again, we don't know what goes on behind the scenes and how many deals have ben arranged prior to the window opening.
We can but hope that Harris' recruitment policy is better than Warnock's.
