How can you say that? We have key players missing and Harris hasn't been backed by Tan at all this season. Only one right back in the squad who is injured. Bacuna shifted to right back again where he isn't as comfortable, weakening our centre midfield. Yeah, it's all Harris' fault

Had this conversation until restart how millwall improved and was ahead of us in league but of course it didn't stay that way... after 7 games not sure it matters who's where in league.

What does matter is fight, intensity, enthusiasm, call it what u like it is all missing at the moment.

We still have a winger problem due to how poorly Hoilett plays no idea why Murphy never plays by the way and yeah its a shame. That game was dreadful and hard to watch due to how poor both sides were tonight. Overall I would not rush into anything just yet because Harris done his best work at Millwall so maybe he is still slightly adjusting to life in Cardiff but time could be running out and if we have not improved going into the christmas period then you must look at what is going on.

A bit of an over reaction. A disappointing start to the season and I don't like Harris's tactic of putting Glatzel up front with Moore. They just don't link up together.
We missed Wilson and Tomlin plus Osei Tutu. Those sort of players make a big difference. I think we'll start to gel soon and move up the table.

Are key players missing or did Harris chose not to play them ?
Hasn't been backed by Tan ?
We are in the middle of a pandemic with no idea when fans will be let into the ground and we were still the 4th highest spenders in the league.
2.5mill on a Welsh international striker
500k on a very promising young goalkeeper
Loaned probably the best playmaker in the division on big wages from Liverpool
Loaned a Croatian international centre back from Leicester who will also be on big wages
Plus two other Premier league players on loan
None of that is cheap and Harris has been backed fully this window with some high quality players

we are too good to be involved in a relegation fight... but i agree top 6 playing that crap isnt going to happen.. this season is getting more and more like a Russell Slade effort happy to not be down the bottom .

What is slightly worrying is it's not just tonight performances have been lackluster? What was wrong tonight as been wrong in most if not all games so far and Harris has not been able to or wont change way we are set up especially at home! His mindset is dont lose but with that comes the likelihood of drawing games rather than winning or losing? Drew 16 last season 4 so far this season thats a recipe for missing out on top 6 by narrow margin.

I'm afraid yourself and many others have been blinded by the Moore and Wilson signings. Our transfer activity this season has been:
Osei-Tutu is in for Peltier on far less wages.
Benkovic is in for Flint.
Wilson is in for Paterson on slightly less wages.
Ojo is in for Mendez-Laing.
Dillon Phillips is in for Etheridge on far less wages.
The only occasion Harris has been backed is to bring Moore in, which was around 1.5 million, not 2.5 million. But look at all the wages Harris has saved trimming the squad to help fund the Moore signing - Ward, Bogle, Connolly and Jazz have all left, freeing up I estimate, close to 100k a week.
All the players Harris has brought in has come from him wheeling and dealing and trimming the squad. You can't blame Harris when he hasn't really been backed at all by Tan this season. We really need to be realistic with our expectations.
We only have one right back in our squad and we are currently suffering with Bacuna having to cover that position. A manager properly backed would not be left with only one right back, the reduced depth and being forced to throw a youngster in at the deep end against a team who were in the Premiership last season.
I think a top 6 finish would be a fantastic achievement this season, but if we don't make top 6, Dalman better not say Harris has failed. It's a ridiculous statement from Dalman saying he expects a top 6 finish. Dalman knows full well Harris hasn't really been backed.
