I very much so wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, but 18 games in I'm just not sure what he does?I don't think anyone disagrees we need better upfront, but there are a lot (me included) who don't agree that he's a bad player or offers nothing
Whenever I see a defence of him it's almost always that he has good movement and work ethic. From what I see, his pressing is largely ineffective and very much side to side - he rarely forces defenders into difficult positions or mistakes. Movement wise, I can't think of another striker who is so often not where you need him to be. We regularly put good quality balls into the box and he's nowhere to be found.
Imo, he's the weak-link in the team right now. A good striker in this squad has scored at least triple Harris' total so far and we're probably comfortably in the automatics.
The concern has to be that if we bring in a good striker (and I pray we do), what is Harris' role? He doesn't start out wide over any of our wingers, so does he just play second fiddle to whoever we bring in?
