Not good enough today, as much as it pains me to say. We have to pick ourselves up and go again Wednesday!

Have to agree. Its pretty poor state of affairs when you are 2 down and you drag of a striker and replace him with Pack

Terrible decision to play him in such an important match. He looked spent on Tuesday. Glatzel should have started. In every department Neil Harris got it wrong. Dreadful, dreadful management.

Not down to him entirely Annis, no service from anybody today. The whole team was abysmal. Changes needed and will have to be made with no Moore and thank god Ralls, makes you realise how paper thin our squad is mind.

Re: MARK HARRIS:

Think he has been poor for last three games unfortunately No doubt Moore needs a man up with him to get the most out of him
but many players today looked tied and below par

He should been subbed at halftime totally ineffective 1st half not really his fault though... and rolls needed to come off because obviously Harris told players to get in their faces 2and half and rolls did so but made 4 fouls before his rash challenge Harris should known he would get 2nd yellow playing like that.... overall poor management by Harris on several fronts.

Gotta play Wilson in No 10 role

Really?

When winning and five subs coming on our squad strength is put as a positive.

Fickle fans.

For me the whole team needs overhauling and that will take a couple of windows...we were abysmal at stoke..we got out of jail 1.-0 down and they hit the bar and missed a pen
..
Bennett has been poor most of the season
no recognised rt back..is cunningham and Bagan the answer?

Centre Defence

Making errors and poor distribution
Need a footballing Centre Half with Pace...Benkovic?

Centre midfield is poor no pace Ralls Vaulks Pack and Bacuna all too similar ..Pack and Vaulks need to go
Unfortunately Wilson and ojo suffer playing alongside our midfield
Need a goal poacher...Harris needs to be used off the bench
Another strong winger needed
Whyte and Murphy not good enough

Just my opinion

That poll that was run last week asking whether Harris should stay or go...i voted go ..because i dont think he can take us much further...i am not convinced by his tactics or his motivation

The bench isn't strong though is it? Bamba passed it, Whyte and Pack not good enough, Murphy biggest waste of 10 million quid we are ever likely to make. Benkovic never gonna play, Cunningham poor. Where is the strength on that bench?

Re: MARK HARRIS:

Cannot judge him on the game today because none of our forwards had any decent support. Lets not throw the baby out with the bath water because our Manager was made to look a fool today. Having said that I don't believe he should have started today because Swansea were always going to pass us to death today and the way NH set us up we were nothing but lambs to the slaughter.

I do wonder why we have Harry Wilson in the team, a fantastic player at this level but playing with both hands tied behind his back by the way NH has the team set up. Giving a player like HW to NH is a complete waste of his undoubted talent and if we are to get anywhere near the playoffs we need a manager who can get a tune out of Harry, and it's not NH.

With ralls out I'd switch Nelson to right back and give benkovich a start.

I said a few days back,all well and good not breaking up a winning team,but with games as thick and fast,players would get tired/jaded,and I thought a few changes would happen.too late now though! We arent a million miles away from play off birth,but glatzel and benkovic should start the next game,give moore a rest,perhaps push nelson to right back? And get bacuna back into our pedestrian midfield!

Problem with Harris is it's difficult to know what type of player he is as a striker. He doesn't appear to be a fox in the box type like say Chopra he is not a target man he does not combine very well with Moore neither combine well with each other. He is quite skilful and occasionally find a a good pass. He is maybe a bit like a sub par Tomlin. I doubt very much if he will solve any problems up front. Overall I prefer Glatzel though he can be equally as ineffective he can finish well to. What we really need is a Chopra or McCormack up front with Mooore. Don't think Harris will ever be that.

All that said we were rubbish today and really bad for much of the match against Stoke so maybe he needs a few more games before judging to harshly.

I think Mark Harris is probably an all round modern day striker. A bit like a frazier Campbell, at what level I have no idea.

Re: MARK HARRIS:

Sat Dec 12, 2020 6:05 pm

Harris was naive to start with Harris.
I would have started wth Pack in front of the back four.
Murphy out wide and Wilson in the no 10 role.

People are screaming for home grown talent to be brought through,Harris today was non exsistent,fine lines in football,but desire and the want to win are massive

you dont have to imagine, just read the board... all those banging on about managers not taking it seriously enough and players not putting effort in would be saying the exact same thing no matter what 11 and what tactics.. its the default setting if we lose...

Re: MARK HARRIS:

Ridiculous to pick on our only Academy player and least experienced player when the whole team were rubbish! Harris should have changed the formation after half time and used all 5 subs in the second half.We must have the most expensive and experienced bench in the Championship but Harris won’t use them ? Leicester centre half£13m,Murphy £11m,Cunningham £4m,Pack £2m,Whyte 2m,Phillips £1m, vastly experienced Bamba whereas the Jacks had a few Academy kids!

Completely agree. Harris bottled it by not changing a winning side. Harris has previously rotated for rotations sake implying certain players looked jaded in training and now doesn't want to change anything. Moores loss didn't help in fairness but system didn't change even though we were over run.
Harris is a young lad trying to play at championship level. He's been deemed a better bet, albeit different style, to Glatzel and Paterson, and a foil for Moore in the system. Didn't help him one bit that Moore went off and he was in a new partnership no one would have thought would play together amongst our striking options.

Yep, I make that point in another post.
