The CCFC regulars

The likes Marlon Pack, Curtis Nelson, Lee Tomlin and Leandro Bacuna have all been mainstays since the new manager's arrival.

Tomlin has certainly caught the eye under Harris with a huge upturn in fortunes, as he struggled to nail down a permanent spot in the lineup under Neil Warnock, but now he is a key player for the Bluebirds, contributing with five goals and six assists and adding more creativity to the attack.

Other players such as Neil Etheridge and Aden Flint have played the majority of the games under Harris, but have recently been omitted, having been replaced by Alex Smithies and Sean Morrison respectively.

Flint has struggled to gain the approval of some Cardiff fans, but he is a player that Harris has spoken highly of at times and has favoured for many of the games that he has been in charge of. Lest we forget he also cost £6m last summer.

Joe Bennett, Lee Peltier, Junior Hoilett and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing are players that have been injured recently, the latter suffered a long-term injury against Sheffield Wednesday.

However, when fit these players have been regulars under Harris, as shown by the number of minutes that they have played.

Marlon Pack= 1,165
Curtis Nelson= 1,124
Lee Tomlin= 1,064
Leandro Bacuna= 1,001
Neil Etheridge= 973
Aden Flint= 918
Joe Bennett= 907

Lee Peltier= 862 (injured against Millwall, missed Sheffield Wednesday)

Junior Hoilett= 805 (injured against Brentford, back against Millwall on 26/12)

Nathaniel Mendez-Laing= 734 (injured against Sheffield Wednesday, 29/12)
