Like I've said in the past , it can only be due to some sort of pay clause in the loan contract. We obviously pay more of his wages if he plays. Absolutely no other reason for him not even getting a few minutes.

Then its a waste of a place,someone who would actually play could have been given his place??

I will always maintain this is a really good bunch of characters who will dig in and scrap, this still has the Warnock DNA. The Jack manager simply won the tactics game and i just accept it as that.
I said a few month ago I didn't think Harris is any better than Slade and if I have shifted in that opinion it is I think Slade was probably a bit better.
A more savvy manager may be able to get us into 5th or 6th but the likelihood is we'll be 10th ~ 12th. Harris is predictable and the team dug him out last night through character and Harry Wilsons ability.
The board have a big decision soon. Have they found their next recruit and is he available ? Otherwise Harris will be here to the summer.

Automatic promotion form too though we are not going to catch the top two. The Benkovic thing is beyond imcomprehensible. Leicester paid £13 million for him. He is a Croation International. Bristol City and Celtic fans say he was outstanding for them on loan and yet even Bamba is preferred as a sub. We could do with some squad rotation and he has not played for a minute. It's just completely bizarre. Has there been any explanation from Harris? Morrisson and Nelson are not going to play the whole season uninjured and he looks the ideal replacement but Leicester will rightly recall him in January and the only cover we will have is Bamba who is knocking on a bit.

i think people are swayed by what Leicester paid mate... maybe Harris doesnt think he is as good as what we have and is hardly going to come out and say that any more than saying it about other players he has chosen to not play....... yes he played 20 games and did ok for Celtic ,but how stretched are Celtic CBs in that division...?

I think its more of a case of fans being fed up of conceding soft goals, fed up of the football we play and seeing Nelson and morrison smashing everything long when we've got a pretty highly rated ball playing CB sat on the bench.
Murphy cost us £11mill. I dont think the price tag is the reason people want to see benkovic play.

You comment on most threads, I am sure you are aware of what the general opinion is on Harris and our style of play.
I'm all for playing to the teams strengths and think that the result is more important than the performance. But I am under no illusion of how we play-its horrible to watch and is only made bearable if we win. Its the reason warnock went and why Harris was probably one game away from going. Even after winning a lot of people are still complaining about it.

harris nearly went because of over cautious nonsense football.....this division is awash with it..take a look at our first goal against birmigham , they were in safe possession...their defence was not set a stupid pass and bang 1 nil... every week youll see half a dozen of those in highlights all by teams/ coaches that think they can pass better than they can.. ..and thats exactly what we were doing and why our pretty good goals against column is not the best in the division... . personally i thought we scored 3 good goals last night and thats what i want...its about winning football matches..
