Yeah, I was right by that corner today, I hate to say it, but I was shocked at his apparent lack of commitment, totally bottled it!

Hear ! Hear!
Your description of those two events just about matches mine.
Other than that I thought he had a good solid performance indeed chasing the ball almost to say 'that' to our doubters.
I have never attacked nor ridiculed him on this forum and it is time that some 'us' got a grip.

Agree he took a little time to settle but got better as the game went on. Not my favourite player and should'nt start in my opinion, but hopefully he will prove a good buy as the season progresses and prove most people wrong. Some people on here will slate him no matter how he plays.

how can anyone moan about harley? yer he lost the ball once when there where 3 toon players around him, but he put in some decent corners/crosses and had a decent game all round. He isnt the sort of player to crunch into tackles but good on the ball. If its not moaning about Barnes(whos been class the last few games esp peterbourough) its about Harley, absolute joke some of the albion fans are.

Harley was miles better than JFC today...and Barnes was also excellent. All the haters at least save the stick for when we lose. Unreal
Threads like this really make me worry about our fans. Harley came on and made a few mistakes, but overall we played much better after he came on. He played well, some of you are so blinkered it is embarrassing, you make your minds up after a few performances and pick on every mistake. He was much better than JFC today but there is no thread slating him (not that there should be).

It's a free world with free speech that we live in isn't it? In which case my view is that the fella is way out of his league ... even Barnes was giving him verbals today. Not seen anything from him at all (apart from the goal) and today no better - gives ball away, bottles it and not making space

You don't have to be a misery-guts to make some observations. In the time he was on the pitch today, you can see that he still needs too much time on the ball (possibly because the opposition know that he's worth closing down quickly, possibly because he's still at lower league pace) and if there's a 50/50 ball, he is still VERY unlikely to win it, partly because he bottles it.

It was when the last thing we needed was for them to get possession, break away and score.

No pleasing some people a fantastic team performance against a top side and all some can do in moan about one missed tackle. Jake was ok but Gus made the right substitution by replacing him with Harley.
Harley bought other midfielders into the game and I felt Buckley and Barnes saw more of the ball with the introduction of Harley. First half Bridcutt and Sparrow worked thier socks off and second half Bridcutt and Navarro where outstanding.
FFS get off Harley's like the rest of the side it's work in progress but the progess is all positive.

Harley pisses me off at times too, I often feel he's a bit of a luxury as he can be so lightweight. Then sure enough quite soon after coming on he gets caught in possession in a fairly dangerous area and I was thinking here we go again. But then to be fair I thought he played quite well after that. As others have said, he held the ball up well and consistently brought others into play nicely I thought. I've seen him play a lot lot worse than he did today that's for sure.

Relax people. Have some faith. I reckon it will come. He is a good player that is not a midfield destroyer,

The incident that people are refering to when he lost he ball after being closed down came just after he'd come on and immediately you could hear people getting on his back. As I've said in another thread his confidence looks shot and people getting straight on his back won't help. Ok so he's not as hard working as CMS or as quick as Buckley but let's see what he can do. It seems that people are looking out for every single mistake so that they can jump on his back
