cookeh Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Just a thought.. and one that'd been in my mind since before we ended up with 1 striker on the books. His pace is obviously frightening for any central defender to deal with, much as we saw Murphy run clear a few times when he drifted inside. He's decent on the ball and already understands how to work an angle for a shot. His finishing isn't actually that bad, he's mostly been restricted to shooting from outside the box, and but for a handful of really good saves he could have been pushing double figures. LWB is not the best use of him as he is very much a forward-minded player. Probably needs to work on his movement as it's a bit different in the middle, and as with any striker, sharpen up the shooting. But given the circumstances and given his attributes, I think we could do a lot worse. Especailly if we're workig on a tight budget and need to being in half a dozen starting players. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WUGGAMONKEY1 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 If we struggle to get players in, I think he could be used to play just behind the striker. In a similar role to what Reach has played in the past. Not ideal, but maybe a necessity! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest domSWFC Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Harris has been at his most effective at LWB. I think him running from deep drives us forward and he can get at the full back whilst in full flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Positives for Harris is his pace, he works hard and can beat a man out wide. Negatives, very poor finishing, and poor delivery when in good positions. We are in big big trouble next year if he is our preferred striker choice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellbeaten-the-owl Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) Only player in squad that could see being effective as an Emergency center forward is Dominic iorfa. Good in air, has bit of pace and had seems confident in front of goal when goes up for set pieces Edited August 14, 2020 by wellbeaten-the-owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 No. Let’s get some players in that are actual strikers. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Nah... Hed get clear through, one on one, with the goal at his mercy...and then try and cross it in on his weaker left foot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have kept Nuhiu and Borukov and this wouldn't even be a consideration. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I like the out of the box thinking, but it’s not a goer for me Don’t really like him at wingback either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danblakemore Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Personally I'd like to see Murphy back in that position if possible 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0114 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Problem is he’s very predictable. One thing that’s not helped our wingers this season is that our full backs don’t go on and overlap to create an overload in a wide area. We have very simply got the ball out wide to Harris/Murphy/Reach and just expect them to beat 2 players and put a cross in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
