Annis, I just think we lack that bit of quality - My own opinion is Harris cant get the best out of the players neither

I think there is too much to do now and the gap is too big. We would have to go on a really good run and be lucky with injuries to stand a chance. Injuries to Tomlin, Tutu and Moore have crippled us this season.

I agree Harris does not seem to get the best out of them and that final bit of quality is missing, plus I said back in August when Harris was raving on about squad was big enough , injuries abd winter etc it won’t be.

But I have to praise Harris with hardly any money the loans he has brought in most have been class

Your right the loans are class, but he isn’t getting the best out of them either, why isn’t he playing Wilson in the Tomlin role ?

He has tried but the player can't get himself on the ball enough.One thing I've noticed about Tomlin is that he does demand the ball more than any other.

Do you think that its because he is not vocal enough in demanding the ball ? Or could it be the players haven’t got the same belief in him as they do Tomlin ?

I think he is or definitely could be as good if not better than Tomlin. Plus give him a run of games in that role and I think he will improve.
