Interesting Harewood Statistic!
Everybody has something to say about Harewood's form but I've just noticed that he has not completed 90 minutes for us since the start of the season - the right hand column is the minutes played.
19 Aug 1 CA(H) 3-1 90
22 Aug 2 WA(A) 1-1 65
26 Aug 3 LI(A) 1-2 72
10 Sep 4 AV(H) 1-1 60
17 Sep 5 NU(H) 0-2 45
23 Sep 6 MC(A) 0-2 64
1 Oct 7 RE(H) 0-1 6
14 Oct 8 PO(A) 0-2 21
22 Oct 9 TH(A) 0-1 81
I'm thinking another contributing factor to our decline this season is the fact that we don't have a settled side. How is Harewood meant to find form and hit the back of the net if he's not being given the playing time?? Last season it took him something like 5 games before he hit the back of the net (then he got 5 in 2 games). But the difference was he played 90 minutes in the games that lead up to it and had the time to find his feet so to speak. Also now there is extra pressure on him because nobody else is scoring either.
I really hope he scores tonight!

Agree Dave, surprised at those stats? Top scorer last season you think he'd be playing the full 90? He will score a few, I've no doubt, hopefully he can start a run tonight?
I also think the unsettled aspect of the side is a contributing factor to our current form. Double edge sword for Pards though, stick with a formation that is playing poorly or try to chop and change till you get it right? RE my post yesterday.
Not a bad night at the Roar last night, bumped into several WEST HAM and didn't get any stick for wearing my shirt, which was surprising? Must have been the 'we're bottom of the league and I'm pissed off' look I had on my face.
When is Ashton back? And does anyone know if Tevez is fit to play?

I think Marlon needs to played on the right.In the Championship, he mostly played on the right.Who can forget his cross to Bobby for the second goal against Ipswich in the second leg of the semi final!
I think most defenses have worked us and Marlon out.He hasn't got the skill or class of Ashton to create something out of nothing.For him to get his confidence,he needs time on the ball which he can get playing on the right.

Beggers, you sure it wasn't the "Congrtulations you have just met the ICF" card you were handing out at the Roar game for the reason you were not getting any stick?

Brown's unscripted tale of tragedy and farce could taint Hammers' good reputation
"I have no idea whether Terence Brown is a Woody Allen fan, but it is tempting to picture him as the Melinda character on that fateful day in August as the transfer deadline approached. There he is, the unloved chairman of a homely and upwardly mobile football club, when drama intervenes in the shape of Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano. Brown and his sidekicks on the board are suddenly confronted with two prodigious Argentina stars and an Iranian-born fixer who sounds as if he has big ideas."
