oldowl67 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 For the first goal Huddersfield allow a one on one and Harris skins his man before delivering a perfect cross for Fletch. At half time I imagine Cowley stresses the importance of preventing this happening again so the fullback must be supported by midfielders when Harris has the ball out wide. Job done, .... oh bugger who’s tracking Bannan ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRightSide Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Love him. Proper winger, stands his man up, tries a trick and then invariably puts a quality ball into the box. Would like to see Nuhiu instead of Fletcher so we can take advantage of his quality more often. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s the type of player we needed in Carlos’ second season when Wallace was starting to have less effect in matches and we were lacking pace. Hopefully Monk can form a starting eleven that will challenge the top 6 this season We should have kept Wallace until we found a replacement a better player than he was given credit for.

Some even (imho) have international caps! The worst example we had (for people of a certain age) being Franz Carr on loan in the '80s, pace to burn but terrible footballer. This kid is something different, he could be the difference between nowhere and a top six spot Different league to Jeremy Helan, remember one of the coaches telling him to put a cross somewhere in the box, if you can, during the warm-up. Not seen that since the U9's, real speedboat no driver. Edited September 16, 2019 by glynnb 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what a coup! Involved in both goals yesterday and he tracks back too. Extraordinary free signing. think hes been involved some way or another in most of our goals this season, breath of fresh air to see him skin the full backs.

I guess it's because in that sort of position he often flies the ball over the net, but... they haven't taken into account he can also choose to cross the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando_Trustful Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 A very good player. Crazy Cardiff didn't do everything to keep him after getting relegated. Well done Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwellOwl Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 A player we have needed for 3 years. Only worry is relying too much and making sure he stays fit. so far, a top signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our best players have been free transfers, Westwood, Lees, Hutch, Bannan, Harris and Fletcher. That's not bad by any stretch, get your scouting right and identify the areas you want to strengthen and there are some bargains to be had.

Philb125 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Posted this before but when I asked a die hard Cardiff fan on his thoughts his response was along lines of: he’s a great player, got injured and on his return our wingers playing were doing great so struggled to get back into the team. He had a falling out with warnock regarding this and struggled for game time ever since. Played well when he got a chance including MoM vs Fulham. He still thought they had better first choice options, but was upset to lose him. So to surmise, quality player that doesn’t like Colin. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I remembered from when we signed him, he just wasn't being picked often while at Cardiff, not due to injuries. I could be misremembering though. Someone on here will know. I thought Warnock had stated his disappointment that he chose to leave Cardiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
