Neil Harris on the season so far



NEIL HARRIS:

I certainly wouldn’t use the word disaster. It’s not been the start I wanted or I probably expected.

I certainly think expectation levels grew, and rightly so, because of what we achieved last season.

But we’ve not been consistent enough, that’s the bottom line. You can talk about a short turnaround, amount of games we’ve got compared to everyone else in a short space of time, players we have got missing, are all valid reasons but we should have had a better start. I’m the first to admit that.

I expect better performances, consistent performances and results to improve because of that.

NEIL HARRIS:

Everybody will have their opinion. You’ve all got your opinion, the fans have. Mine is probably a mix of everyone else’s.

I probably underestimated the disappointment at losing to Fulham, the short turnaround.

The mix of players going and coming in. Settling the group as quickly as possible in the short turnaround.

I can’t say exactly why we’ve gone behind in so many games, it’s certainly a mentality one.

It’s a great group of lads here, I love working with them every day. You won’t find many people who have a bad word to say about many of my players, but it’s just that mentality going on to the pitch.

We certainly had that concentration and focus from June, July onwards to the end of the players.

We have to regain that quickly and that’s my job to find that within the changing room and pick the right team selection and tactics to win games.
