cambridgeshire canary 6,701 Posted January 15, 2021 Strange mentality I must say, starting out saying that his teams match against us is 'not a must win game' before ending it with 'it's a game we can win'. Bit of a Contradiction Must be a rather odd thing for your players to be told.. 'Don;t worry lads, we don;t have to win this match. I mean, we can win it, but hey it's not a must win it's a whatever who cares' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petriix 2,834 Posted January 15, 2021 It seems perfectly sensible. We're top of the league. No one is expecting them to beat us so it's a free hit, but he thinks they might be able to edge it. A draw would probably suit both teams, but I expect a result either way depending on who scores first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mason 47 1,376 Posted January 15, 2021 Kieffer Moore might be able to get a few minutes on the pitch, which is a boost for them. But in turn, their monster CB that caused us no end of problems in the first game Morrison won't make the squad. I'd much rather face Cardiff with a half-fit Moore against Hanley and Gibson & Pukki against back up centre halves, than with Morrison. We have to be confident.

Chelm Canary 404 Posted January 15, 2021 Mind games, don't take it as flattery. He knows what he's doing. I'm expecting they turn up to make a game of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete 318 Posted January 15, 2021 It has been stated two games to save his job, needs 4 points from Norwich and QPR minimum. Not a must win certainly mustn't lose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,218 Posted January 16, 2021 Perhaps just trying to take the pressure off his players. They won't expect much going into the game but if they feel like they've got nothing to lose it might give them a mental boost Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Completely agree, Morrison is a real threat and more so that Moore. Would be surprised if Moore got minuntes, it's better for them to have him fully fit for what Harris clearly sees as winnable games than risk a reoccurrence of whatever injury he had by bringing him in early. Guess if it's still a draw with 10 to go he'll be chucked on to try and nick the points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair given our poor defending from corners and set pieces any player who can head a ball well and is tall poses a major threat to us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,165 Posted January 16, 2021 Based on what we saw from the first game, really wouldn’t be surprised if we put 4 past them today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
