He seems the kind of player we could have done with.

And seen him take some difficult ones?

Whilst you’re here, please can you find me a L1 striker who doesn’t miss easy chances?

Alfie may , Sam Hoskins

just a thought, maybe Perkins is smashing it in training and our interest is for a winger instead?

They never miss easy chances?

You would think they would play at a higher level than league one then?

Hasn't Hoskins scored a significant majority of his goals in L2?

The chance May missed when Brannagan put him through on Saturday was worse than anything Harris has missed. I don't think he even got a shot away despite having time in the area.

Quite often when I read your funny posts, I'd like to add a response like -

Realistically swapping Wildschut for Edwards is a good deal either way you look at it

But May missed an easy chance against us?

If Harris gets the ball with is right foot in and around the box, he's likely to get a goal. Notsomuch with his left foot. But he at least he has a shot.

God MY and GuK are a right couple of moaners , trying to be super negative about anything that they can be as we are looking in the best state for years !
If you cannot be impressed by the great strides made now over one transfer window then I have no ideas of their expectations.
Except to look for dark clouds.

I've actually been very positive about our dealings and position.

There's lots to be happy about.

Our depth up front isn't one of them.

Similar to the other season when we limped to January with Taylor as our sole striker, who luckily remained fit whilst scoring goals putting us in an excellent position to gain promotion, but we then know the rest in terms of that particular transfer window and the others that followed.

Fingers crossed Harris can do the same.

Rumour has it, Edwards is a done deal. Photos done a couple of hours ago

Nothing like a transfer deadline day to help us rediscover the ignore button.

Thanks Theo, Mellow, it's been a reet blast like.

That's the thing that's impressed me most about Harris. The first time I saw him was against Carlisle and there were a couple of occasions when he should have shot but didn't and I had my doubts about how many he'd score being that reticent to shoot. Then in his post match interview he acknowledged it off his own back and the next game against Derby he took a couple of chances quickly and decisively.

I'm still not sure he's a natural goalscorer in terms of sniffing out chances like Taylor used to with anticipation and positioning but if he can get anywhere around 15 then he'll have done us well because he offers a lot aside from goals.

Depends if he is a left sided winger.

played most of his games for Ipswich on the left hand side.

We could well be in for another
