No the lad tried but no sorry !!
I know I'm going to get slated for this but I want to know what others think. Harley gets a huge amount of stick from fans (some wrong, some right) despite the fact he's never had an extended run in the team. The modern football formation is to play 2 holding midfielders and one other attacking, free role midfielder. Bridcutt is always going to be one of our holding midfielders alongside either Hammond, Dicker or Crofts and in recent games Crofts hasn't looked his usual self (maybe getting fitness back after injury). I don't want this to become another thread about how rubbish we are (we're not) but we have looked a bit sluggish going forward from midfield recently compared to Sheffield Wednesday and Barnsley games for example.
In my opinion Ryan Harley is our only central midfielder who looks to make runs forward and tries to make that pass to unlock defences (not always 'unlocking' admittedly). Essentially he is our only CM with that trait and to be fair he did look promising around October time last year (Coventry at home springs to mind).
Thoughts?
Harley NO, however what about JFC?
putting JFC out on loan was another massive mistake by Gus,Jake is a quality young attacking midkielder who came of age in the stains game, opening up the scoring and giving the team confidence when we were in a losing run,and then what does the dictator do,loanout our only decent attacking midfielder
We need physicality, pace and aggression .... Harley's got none of those
No we don't, we need craft and guile
But let's be honest, we are arnt we...
Sadly Harley is a league above his level
We must be if we're a top 10 championship team......
Like a few of our players
I would be interested to see this, i think there may be legs to it - defensive stability but with enough going forward.
no hes crap and a waste of time
