NEIL HARRIS REACTION TO BRISTOL ROVERS PRE-SEASON RUNOUT

Neil Harris | Let's carry our momentum on


BRISTOL ROVERS REACTION | HARRIS

Neil Harris spoke after the Bluebirds continued their pre-season preparations with victory in a a 4x35-minute clash with Bristol Rovers.

"The match was always going to be about minutes in the legs, not so much about performances," said the City boss at the Memorial Stadium.

"Both teams played 35 minutes each half and it was about getting through with no injuries.

"We played 40 minutes last Saturday against ourselves, 50 minutes against Newport and 70 against Bristol Rovers, so we're really pleased with the minutes that we got in the group."

Harris went on to call for his men to continue their momentum into the 2020/21 campaign, as he finished with a special mention for Greg Cunningham's return from the sidelines.


"The message to the players is that we had a fantastic post-lockdown, and from February onwards really. Let's carry our momentum on and use it with the quality that we've got in the side.

"The lads are fit; they are getting the rhythm back in their play and we've brought the young lads into things, learning the patterns."

The boss added: "A special mention to Greg for his first minutes back. There was a round of applause in the changing room from the players for him."

Whisper it if you dare, but the positivity surrounding the Cardiff City squad right now is impressive

The manager and his coaching staff appear to have got the squad together with both an inclusive and want to win mentality ahead of what will be another new but strange season

Positivity is what we need right now and it's hard not to admire the work of all involved

Whisper? Nah

We storming to promotion

Very impressed with the way he seems to be moulding a very good team mentality and with some new signing, a few players back into the fold who were for whatever reason, disregarded and hopefully a couple of academy lads getting a breakthrough.





A personal wish would be adding a young version of Gavin Rae and think we would be sorted .

Does anyone know if he played any of our youth team against Bristol Rovers ? All the names I have seen mentioned were the usual first team regulars.
