NEIL HARRIS: “ FUMING / SLATES THE TEAM “

Sat Oct 31, 2020 5:16 pm

AFTER ANOTHER DREADFUL PERFORMANCE:



NEIL HARRIS:


Neil Harris absolutely furious in his post-match press conference. "First half was the worst I've seen during my time in charge."


Harris: "It's their jobs to represent this football club to the best of their ability and at the moment they're not doing it.

"If they're not going to do it, they're not going to be in my team."



Harris on HT: "I left them in no uncertain terms where they are falling short, who is falling short and what I expect moving forward."


Harris: "I said in my interview on my first day I took the job, at Hensol Castle, and I said it after the play-off semi-final, I've come here to be successful and win games of football.

If my players don't want to do that then they don't play. It's as simple as that."

He can't get the team motivated and competing from the start. He is trying to evolve the playing style but its clearly not working. I can forgive that but I can't forgive surrendering possession and losing second ball all over the park. He needs a vote of confidence from the board or out.

Has to go, performances are insipid.

Players look totally lost.

Prediction he will go by next weekend.

Even SEAL team 6 would struggle to rescue Harris.

Wow.. Strong words from Neil Harris.

A huge gamble to say things like that about the players.

In cases like these, it goes one of two ways - they respond to it and start performing much better, or Harris has lost them forever.


High risk press conference from the manager.

To be fair that is a good statement from him.

Hopefully that has embarrassed the players and will give them the kick up the backsides they need. If they don't respond to that them bring in some of the youth who want to give it a go. That would be the ultimate insult and if that does not do the trick then its goodbye.

He's lost the dressing room
They are not together
Simple as that

If you want to win games, setup and pick a team that is capable of doing and stop waiting until we go behind before having a go.

Good on Harris coming out a calling out the teams performance after that first half. He obviously had words at half time and changed it up and we played a lot better. How on earth can people say he’s lost the dressing room if after a half time team talk we come out and pull back a 2-0 deficit. Yes I know we ended up losing to a world class strike in added on time.

Words, words, words with the odd cliche

I expect major changes on Tuesday. Anything else is bollox, drop three or four big names, place the onus onto them.
But, i'll expect the usual "i saw a great response from the boys"

The players must shoulder the blame but so should he. He now sounds frustrated and desperate. The first half against Derby was equally poor so why did they not get the rocket for today? The Barnsley game is his last chance in my view. Nothing but an emphatic win will do. Sadly though, even he does win, I don't think hes the man to take the club forward now.

He just trots out the old rubbish....then the old rubbish trots onto the pitch.

Re: NEIL HARRIS: “ FUMING / SLATES THE TEAM “

Says the same thing after every game we don’t win.

If after a year in charge the players STILL aren’t playing to your standards, the problem is you, not them.

There are loads of negatives from that performance and the buck stops with the manager.
He's lost the dressing room because Tomlin and Moore have a few words over the former's stupid tackle??? Slight overreaction to say the least :roll:
Should he go? I'd imagine that will be a lot clearer by this time next week - anything less than 3 points he could and in my opinion should, be off.
This would give the new guy a chance to assess what he has before making any moves (which will probably be minimum) in January.

Excuses excuses excuses. You’re the boss so you take the blame

Plus it wasn’t the worse performance- there have been plenty as bad including the last trip to QPR.

Be interested to see the starting line up for Tuesday now after Harris has slated a few. Based on that I'd like (assuming Tomlin won't start) -

Smithies

Nelson Morrisson Croatian Bagan

Ralls Pack

Ojo Wilson Hoillett

Moore

not really though.. sounded more like B/S to me . its not like he has replacements ? and was so incensed by that terrible 1st half he did a jose at half time ? oh no, he just brought 1 on...another 20 odd minutes another...and finally the worlds most stupid substitution... 5 minutes into injury time , does he think you get points for 2-3 :?

The injury time substitution was the final straw in his clueless tenure

Re: NEIL HARRIS: “ FUMING / SLATES THE TEAM “

Sat Oct 31, 2020 7:03 pm

Smithies

Nelson Morrison Benkovic Bagan

Bacuna Ralls

Ojo Wilson Murphy

I wouldn't necessarily disagree with your side mate, it was a toss up between Bacuna / Pack and I based my choice on today's performance which in hindsight was a little unfair on Bacuna as he was out of position and targetted by QPR today.

Why is Bennett playing?
Why is Morrison and/or Nelson playing?
Why is Vaulks playing?
Why is Hoilett playing?

Bagan, Whyte, Harris should be playing

this from the dick head who plays players out of position, plays the same players who give the ball away in midfield and try to hide them in defense, the same man who play one of the sulkiest and worst players at the club in Murphy because they stopped his move last year, the same man who every club he goes to is a yes man and loses the confidence of his players - he needs to spend time in the national league or division 2 and learn about man management.

The only good news is my bet on us getting relegated is getting closer and closer and £250 smackers are winking at me :laughing6: :laughing6: :laughing6:
