NEIL HARRIS:OTHER CLUBS HAVE BIGGER BUDGETS /BIGGER SQUADS

NEIL HARRIS:


Strength of squad, better prepared for what’s coming?

"I hope so. When we look at squad size, I like to think we have got quality. There are a lot of clubs with bigger budgets and bigger squad sizes out there to compete with the Championship, we have had to trim ours,where some clubs have not."

"I do think we have got that quality with games coming thick and fast. In the short term, though, it’s about being in the position to accelerate.

"It’s about winning games now."

It’s going to come together?

NEIL HARRIS:

"I hope so! I think when you’re not getting results, you can say the team doesn’t look organised or can’t see where a goal is coming from.

"I think any manager who watches us says we are majorly organised, a major threat on the ball, different ways of playing.

"We are a good team on paper, but we are starting to show it now (on the pitch).

"We have the potential to be the finished article."

NEIL HARRIS: PERFORMANCES HAVE BEEN EXCELLENT SO I DO NOT FEAR FOR MY JOB


REPORTER ASKED TODAY IF HE FEELS UNDER PRESSURE


NEIL HARRIS:


"What you’re really asking, do I fear for my job? No. Because I love my job and performances have been excellent.


"Yeah. Let’s be honest, you asked the question for a reason, because we’ve not won enough games of football. I fully accept the question.

"I feel the pressure because I want to succeed, I’m always talking about wanting to be a winner and being successful as Cardiff City manager.

"We are a club we feel should be in the top 10, fighting for the top six. We have earned that right this year after what we achieved last year, from November onwards. So, pressure in that sense, yes.

"What you’re really asking, do I fear for my job? No. Because I love my job and performances have been excellent.

"But I’m also acutely aware that football is a results business and I want to win games."

We have' nt got the squad to cope that's why bacuna is filling in at right back
and is a better in midfield
and we are not playing well at all look where we are in the table neil

Everybody knew we had 3 weaknesses in the squad before the season started .

Right back
Midfield
Striker

He addressed the striker problem by buying Kieffer Moore but pretty much ignored the other two other than a kid from Arsenal who was never going to play a whole championship season and said he was happy with his options

I also don't think many clubs other than those who have been recently relegated will have bigger budgets wage wise and transfer fee wise.

We were the 5th highest spenders in the window and the club allowed him to sign 4 premier league players, a £2.5million International striker and a very good young goalkeeper from a championship club.

He is trying to deflect the blame away from himself

He is also wrong with the top 10 club idea . We made the play offs last year and have spent over £20million since relegation . We should be a top 6 club going for top 2 .

Slowly digging a hole for himself each and every time he speaks

Getting boring now hearing same old thing and excuses every game

I argee.Warnock Malky and Jonesseemed to get by ok

"It's about being in a position to accelerate"

That one made me chuckle.

It does sound like a load of excuse making but I really want NH to succeed and prove everyone (including me) wrong. So come on Neil stop waffling and address what is going wrong.

In fairness to NH it is true that 20 championship teams have bigger squad than Cardiff, in fact only 1 QPR has a smaller squad. Having said that there are only 3 clubs with squads of higher value.

On that basis 18th place in the League after 12 games is simply unacceptable. I think these next 2 games are MUST wins for NH or it's bye bye.

I think those will be sentiments that the majority might agree with, Tony

I would agree. Last year we had a bigger squad but it was filled with the likes of Connelly and Jazz Richards who hardly ever played for one reason or another.

So it's the old adage Quality over Quantity. We have quality if not quantity and NH is failing to get the best out of it.

really is down to him to convince the board if he thought we were light in numbers...
he kept saying otherwise...

the right back situ in particular defies reason...
