Yeah and he’s crap.I would like to see Mark Harris run around a bit more. He's too lazy.
@dickwalton1964 you had your big serving of humble pie yet?
Hope they have him on a long contract. There would be interest in him I would have thought.
Decent enough playerForget stats, my eyes don’t deceive me. Harris is missing gilt edged chances. He’s had chances he’s fluffed and there have been chances where he’s just not there. I can’t remember the game at home a few weeks back where four balls were put across the face of goal, an out and out goal scorer helps himself to two of those at least. Decent enough player With a great work ethic but a goal scorer he isn’t.
To be fair, he wrote that in November when Short was caretaker before Des was appointed. And at the time Harris last scored a league goal at Derby on 15th August, three months before.Decent enough player
Great work ethic
Goalscorer
I don’t think Harris is a ‘natural’ finisher, a poacher, a ‘fox in the box’ type. He can however score goals, is quick, powerful, athletic, works incredibly hard and scores goals. He’s a very decent League One striker, as he’s shown.
Couldn't hit a barn door at the beginning of the season, I think the team set up now, suits him better. But what do I knowHaha …. You have though since missed a post (maybe more than one actually) of mine - back in February I think it was - where I’ve already back tracked and admitted I might have got my initial assessment wrong. He’s been brilliant and is certainly one of our very best players. I still maintain he’s not a natural poacher in the mould of say a John Aldridge at Oxford type, but if you’re getting 20 goals, allied with that work rate and all round game, then that’s one hell of a player. Can’t fault him
He had a great start to the season. Where he struggled was the middle. Bu the never gave up, and seldom had a game where he didn't contribute.Couldn't hit a barn door at the beginning of the season, I think the team set up now, suits him better. But what do I know
Yes, just goes to show you can't write off a striker's goalscoring ability so easilyTo be fair, he wrote that in November when Short was caretaker before Des was appointed. And at the time Harris last scored a league goal at Derby on 15th August, three months before.
That is a very long time for a striker to go without a goal.
What has happened since Des has come in is he has got Harris playing more central and getting into positions centrally around the area, Scotchers has mentioned this earlier . The supply from the wings has also improved. These changes have improved him as a striker without doubt. I still don't think he's a 'natural' striker but one who has to work for his goals and boy does he work hard, no question about that.
I like him a lot and he's a valued member of the team
Wrong, that was Elliott Moore and Cam BranPlayer of the season for me.
