It was never put together to win the possession stats and play through the thirds.
I thought we played a mugs game today and managed to make Wednesday look like the old Cardiff. If you are willing to make mistakes we'll capitalise from them....Thank you.

I think everyone sees that - surely Harris has to see that.
I was very disappointed with his comments after the game - he literally admitted we have to go for 0-0s if Tomlin isn't in the side - at home! Crazy.
Sadly, our attacking players are going to have to feed off scraps from long throws and set pieces unless we get some guile and flair in the middle other than Tomlin

Reading between the lines I think he meant if we have trouble scoring / creating we have to make sure we don’t concede stupid goals and take a draw.

Tolgay arslan (remember that rumour? ) has been released by fenerbahce, is a crafty midfielder,who has great passing range.trouble is it looks likely he will join bochum? In German 2nd division! ! People are already posting about Harris being happy with his squad etc,the same posters who said he was sh@t when he joined.I don't believe that this his anywhere near his squad yet,but what is he supposed to do,covid has put paid to any real cash splashing,not just for us either.
But apart from the loan players, he has only been able to add moore to the squad on a contract.not saying I disagree with what you are saying regards a crafty midfielder being needed,I'd also like to see another winger come in,and at least a nailed on starter right back,and maybe another 2 to add to the squad depth and quality.
