Went a bit more direct today and he looked better for it. At least a cross hit it’s mark today, which is better than recent months I saw something a couple of weeks ago which stated Harris had created the most scoring opportunities in the league( clear by 7 from the 2nd) He’s become a bit predictable though and teams often double up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Murphy is ahead of him now, I'd play Reach on left and Murphy on right next game with Wickham and Forestieri up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigblueowl Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 This type of player needs the ball passing down the channels or angled behind their full backs. If Bannan etc did this Harris would have a field day! Yesterday and over the last few games he's had the ball played square and straight at him pretty much on the half way line! He then has to try and beat their midfielder and full back with the ball rather than using his pace to run on to the ball. His main attribute is pace not trickery!

He does not run into space for that ball to happen - he stays back to goal wanting ball to feet to turn and run at the defender literally never runs past the defender wanting the ball played over / into space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 16 hours ago, prowl said: He's a decent winger with a few tricks. He was the only one presenting a threat at times this season so he got double teamed. if we get more players presenting a threat he will get more space. Simple as this Harris is one of the few modern looking, technical footballers we have. Getting double marked (even triple at times) is hurting him. He’s one of the few who looks forward every time, most of the team play facing our own goal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he first came we played to his strengths now we don't. Whether that's down to Harris, Bannan, Fox or Monk I don't know. All I know is that's how we need to get the best out of him!

ZicoSterland2 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Needs work on his final ball but has the pace that scares defenders to death. As some have already said may need a bit of a rest to get back to his best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggests to me the problem lies else where not with Harris. Would agree may need a few games on bench to recharge batteries but far from a failure.

ZicoSterland2 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Just now, gurujuan said: Three assists isn’t great, his final ball is generally poor Already stated needs work on his final ball but assists only covers the ball hitting net not the amount of chances he has made. We have been wasteful all season in front of goal. Fletchers injury has compounded this. Lets hope the new signings bring clinical finishing to the team. You have been right preseason we needed a pacey forward /fox in the box as we have no forward without Fletcher who frightens the opposition.

SiJ Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Also...he is right footed, but prefers to use his weaker left foot. Only Wednesday could sign a player like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris Murphy Reach De Cruz Windass Forestieri Can all rotate through the 2/3 attacking midfield positions.

Miffed Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Bruce wanted quick players to close the opposition down deep in their own half, give them no time on the ball and get in their faces. This suits the kind of players that Bruce brought in. Its a dangerous game and while it looked great and got the fans excited in the first few games, you could see how the better teams could pick us off. Monk doesn’t want to play that style that Bruce had been developing since January last year and has had to try and change it with the limited time and resources that he has had. Maybe players like Harris are still adapting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I hadn’t seen that stat. With only three assists, that’s pretty wasteful from the people ahead. Who has been missing all these chances then, Nuhiu, Rhodes, Winnall and Forestieri, have only had peripheral roles, so maybe Fletcher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I like Harris. He's an honest player. I just wish he could shoot. His finishing is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s because we give him the ball and hope he can work some magic. He was doing very well earlier on in the season, but now he looks a bit knackered. Expected to be fair when you give him the ball near the half way line every week and expect him to take on three players, get to the byline and whip in a perfect ball. Even harder when he’s not particularly tricky, he’s just fast. Edited February 2, 2020 by SallyCinnamon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnsleyOwl96 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) Be interesting to see a video of the 27 missed chances to see how good the service was from Harris Edited February 2, 2020 by BarnsleyOwl96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Is he even that fast? Quicker than average, but imo he doesn't have the lightening pace of a JJ, Antonio etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
