NEIL HARRIS: “ PRAISES THE CARDIFF TEAM & FANS “

Thu Jan 16, 2020 11:12 am

NEIL HARRIS:




The City boss praised his side's resilience as they secured their place in Round Four of the competition.

"That was a good test of character," he began. "I said to the boys after the Swansea match – I can't wait to see them in these circumstances.

"We needed that winning mentality and individual characteristics to be in the hat for the next round, and we got that. It's disappointing to concede three goals, hugely, but I'm really pleased with the four we scored."

“I played a strong team, a team I felt I could rely on and they never let me down.”

Harris went on to give full credit to the Cumbrians as he praised the 348 Bluebirds that made the long trip up to Brunton Park.

"They were two proper cup ties," he said. "That's what the FA Cup is all about and nights like that are why the competition is so special. It could have been an upset – I would have liked to have seen us be a little bit more comfortable in defence.

"But I'd like to place on record our thanks to the fans that travelled. I can't quite believe the amount that were here – it's a long old drive. But we're really pleased for everyone."

He’d better wake up and smell the coffee.

Quite obvious no signings coming in, not even loans!

I’m still unsure of Harris just seems like a yes man brought in not to upset apple cart?

As for Tan, yes he has put a load of money in and has done very well in business. Owning a football club hmmm he’s way off it. Why buy into 3 other clubs when one could have put that money to get the right players in and manager here.

It’s all part of following Cardiff City I suppose.

We’ve become a “Cinderella” club always playing at it!!!!

At least we won a Cup tie with Harris in charge! Did we win any Cup ties in Warnock’s three years, I remember losing to Gillingham, Burton, and Norwich reserves when in Prem?

It’s a completely made up stat.

Nobody remembers playing Man City in the fourth round of the FA Cup in our promotion season?

We also beat Portsmouth in the EFL Cup that season.

yes we did..personally though I was more concerned with getting away from the relegation zone in yr1, going up in year 2 and trying to stay in the prem in the third year.. looking at the attendances 80% of our fans felt the same....
