Neil Harris says he has got the players for a promotion charge this season, but added he won't be promising anything at this stage.



NEIL HARRIS:


Transfers

"I’d like to lean on Under 23s but only if they’re good enough. James McCarthy has great work ethic and wants players to come through. I’m trying to avoid questions on the January window as we’ve got three games this week. We might be a bit light in a few areas but we need to give players like Jazz Richards the opportunity to get fit.

"We have 40 days between now and January, the first 15 days are so important. Then we’re looking at 30 days where we have to get the right balance and right numbers in the squad."


"We have a good enough squad without having to spend."




"No promises that we’ll be in the top six, we want to be. Have I got the players? Yes. Got good individual abilities, it might take six games to get them back together."

"I came here to get team back to the Premier League. I want to include young players a chance like Coxe and Brown."

Which actually means "I've been told there's no money available to buy new players and that I'll have to make do with what I've got but the board are still expecting me to get promotion as soon as possible".

Good luck Neil!

Wouldn't look at it like that while he has my full support this is what happens when you give managers like Harris who been at Millwall for years a chance here because he will look at the squad and the ability some of them possess and think 'Wow' and assume he won't need to sign in January because he hasn't had a squad with quality like ours.

Same with Slade, when they've been managing at the level they have it must be a culture shock when they came to us.

Doubt if there is anything much to come from the youth team for at least a couple of years but I think the first team players should be doing far better than they are. We have massively underachieved this season and that is ultimately why Warnock got the push.Don't forget we were one of three or four favourites at the start of the season with Leeds,Fulham,and WBA and we are be far the worst.
