NEIL HARRIS ADMITTED THAT FOLLOWING INTERNATIONAL BREAK CITY

Neil Harris admitted that, following the international break, his side simply have to find that clinical edge if they are to start firing their way back up that table.


NEIL HARRIS:


"The amount of chances we've created there, we've done enough to win two or three games of football.," he added

"We have to find our clinical edge. It's not just about the strikers or wide players, who had chance after chance, it's about us as a team.

"But some of our football was outstanding tonight, the way we opened them up and got into the six-yard box, the amount of knock-downs, it just baffles me how we've not won a game, let alone not got a point."

With just three wins in the first 11 Championship fixtures of the season, Harris believes his team should have more points on the board at this stage.

He conceded that won't happen until his side stop making silly errors, for which they have invariably been punished this season, and find consistency in front of goal at the other end.

It is in both boxes that serious work needs to be done when the season resumes in a couple of weeks, but Harris insisted it is not panic stations just yet.

"For two and a half games we've been really good," he said of his side's recent form. "We created 14 chances in the second half against QPR, 17 tonight, 16 on Tuesday night.

"Performances are there but I want to win games of football.

"I look back at games and think 'where do we improve?' and ask if I need to make changes, personnel-wise, but the majority of the players have played well the last few games.

"There's certainly no panic from me, but I want to win."

6pts from our last 18pts is def not good enough, its relegation stuff.

He's asking where we can improve. Well start with the absolute basics, passing the ball. Bennett gives it away cheaply and 10 seconds later it's in the back of our net. Time and time again this season, passes are going straight to the opposition, or they are making the recieving player alter his run or stride and so the move slows down, or breaks down. This is simple basic football that should be sorted on the training ground every day. After that our strikers need to start practising their shooting, again just basics.

We need a new midfield. Until that happens, not much Harris or any other manager can do.

We don’t have the footballers to play football. We simply can’t pass the ball well enough.

Harris finds himself caught between two stools. He has been told to change the style but he still picks the players who are better suited to route one.
