I'm sorry but Harley is Gash

[Shanker45]

Thought he was much better today just slightly concerned about his lack of pace but very early for some of you to completely write him off. Give him a break.

 

[Biscuit]

What a bunch of tools you are: Harley had a decent game today (apart from ONE bad pass in the first half) and if you can't see that then you're blinded by his previous performances.

Navarro did bugger all in the second half, but I don't see any threads telling everyone how useless he was.

Let's be fair to the bloke, FFS.

This is why you are, if you don't mind me saying, the best poster of this forum by a long shot.

To everyone I put right last week - I'd just like to say a massive;

I TOLD YOU SO YOU STUPID TWATS

Harley has a touch of class and a great finish. Everyone who wrote him off as lazy and not up to it I hope will take a massive slice of humble pie tonight.

Harley was excellent for us and very creative, topping a great performance with a goal.

The people on here who dislike a player after a handful of games (most or all of which in some cases they've never watched) are bellends of the highest nature who can add nothing to a footballing debate because they know NOTHING about football.

So you thought Navaro was good and Noone was poor?

No I thought Navaro played well and Nooney was not at his best that we have seen in previous games.

 

[LamieRobertson]

what a crap player has a so lazy i can't be bothered attitude, everyone will probably have a go at be because he scored a tap in but, imagine having s hammond or an oatway or carpenter in there

i would say he's a big reason why we are not playing like we were before

..i'm sorry but u havent a clue

 

[LamieRobertson]

No I thought Navaro played well and Nooney was not at his best that we have seen in previous games.

I thought Nooney had a decent first half..not quite the same 2nd half..maybe picked up a knock after being clattered into ?

Every thread that has been started about Harley I have defended him because I can see one of the best passers of the ball at the club. He is not a ball winner but a creative player who can finish and he put in a good shift of work today. I came back to Kent thinking my earlier view had been vindicated and that nobody would be criticising him tonight.
How wrong I was when I came on here and read some of the drivel that has been written by a few posters criticising him.
Of course it is about opinions but they have to be based on reality rather than bigoted and ill informed bias.

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

bigoted bias.

Because he's ginger?

 

[Meade's Ball]

For me, Harley was ok. He seems though, to spend an awful lot of time in a hall of mirrors, practicing with an invisible ball and having his every imaginary pass photographed to add to his scrapbook called SHAZAM. He obviously has come class to him, but he's yet to devastate or play much beyond a carefully-weighted sideways ball. I hope he finds his place in the team and starts to show what he's all about as part of a team.

Nooney was splendiferous. He was looking at the bench from 65 mins on, exhausted from rounding their right-back again and again in the second half and simply expecting to get a break. For long periods our only threat and beautiful to watch.

He was fine today, what's the problem? I knew as soon as he was subbed that people would take that as the cue to launch into him again with their preconceived criticism. In that sense, I wished Gus would leave him on for the full 90. I assume he was only taken off as Barnes offers more defensively too, especially in the air. Judging by the way Gus embraced him as he came off it was nothing to do with his performance, just a case of attacking job done, now let us see it through. To me he looks potentially a very decent player. Getting on his back won't help him achieve that potential.

I'd agree with that. Life's getting tougher for Nooney as teams recognise that he's been head and shoulders our best player all season. But great to have him.

From where i was watching he had their right back at it all game. It's weird how people have such different opinions. Thought Noone and Harley done well.

Noone does a lot of good work but has a woeful final ball. People might be entertained by his running fullbacks ragged but his final ball is appalling.

What r u talking about? CMS was brilliant 2nd half.............and you want him dropped! This site never ceases to amaze me.

Brilliant! Jesus, if you are entertained by someone running around a lot then I hope you got tickets to se Mo Farah next year. CMS is lacking confidence. He wasn't unlucky not to score, he missed when one on one with the keeper, admittedly after some good work having had the ball flicked through by Paynter. Everything else was tirelessly running around like a headless chicken failing to control any ball that came at him. Still, if you find that entertaining then you must be a very happy person tonight.

Ok. I accept your constructive criticism, but I disagree. He was very unlucky not to score and he ran his socks off all game. (Off to put kettle on).

 

[Rookie]

Navarro poor? Noone poor? Game of opinions I suppose but wow, thankfully Gus doesn't/didn't agree

 

[e77]

Much better today. Nice to see a midfielder getting in the box to score, which we have missed since Hammond left.

 

[marshy68]

Weird, I thought CMS played well today.

.

poor first half agree with drew about his touch - second half was class awesome the boy needs a goal.

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Much better today. Nice to see a midfielder getting in the box to score, which we have missed since Hammond left.

Indeed, CMS was through like a scalded cat & Harley did very well to get where he did to score, Bridcutt, Sparrow, navarro & dicker would have still been in the centre circle

 

[ChilternGull]

Ryan Harley is winning me over! Watched him at Leicester and he looked as if he could not be bothered to roll his sleeves up and put in a shift. However, against Barnsley he was behind some of our better moves and (priceless) he is our only midfielder capable of scoring a goal. He is very much an attacking midfielder and clearly needs cover from a defending midfielder. Think we should keep going with him as I suspect he will only get better and contribute more and more offensively - something we badly need. Would like to see Bridcutt and Reyes provding the cover though.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

he needs to be a little bit more precise with his passing, and not hold on to the ball to long. I do honestly think Harley can be a good player in the future, if we can get him to do the basics. But I'm glad he was in the right place at the right time on Sunday, with the second goal.
