James Harper

I thought he played well. He didn't make the same stupid mistakes he has been, he kept it simple and he did his job. So why the **** did everyone cheer when he got subbed, when today is wasn't even deserved?

 

he was at fault for the goal and he looks unfit to me....he cant keep up at the moment and struggles when stretching

 

True, he does look knackered a lot earlier than anyone else.

 

james harper was class when he played for reading. yes he is older now, but, for whatever reason, i dont think we have seen the best of him.......

 

He made the pass of the game and was our best midfield player.

 

I think it's because he's been made to play a different role or at least the fans are expecting him to play in a role he's not used to. In our current tactical approach Harper seems to be playing as a ball winning midfielder, which isn't his natural position. Harper is a box to box midfielder, he loves to make forward runs! Just take a look at some of his videos of him playing for Reading, and you'll see what I mean.

 

People booed because they have the mental capacity of a 2 year old and don't consider the implications their actions might have on the players. Harper played fine yesterday and was unlucky to be taken off, Koren needs one huge rocket up his arse, he was **** yesterday and hasn't been at his best for a few games now. A player of his ability should be dominating games but he just drifts in and out. Ok he might not be in his best position but he isn't performing to his best ability at the moment

 

Lets be right, Harper played a decent game yesterday. The 'fans' who cheered him off should **** off back under the stones they came from. ****in ****ers. Not welcome in my opinion.

 

Totally agree with you JHH. Harper did alright yesterday, it was Koren who let us down. The arseholes in E1 should think about what they are doing to the guys confidence before they start giving him grief. They are probably incapable of constructive thought though, just like the gang of chav ****wits who went looking for trouble near the overhead bridge at full time.Like you said JHH, they should **** off back under the stones they live under.Credit to the West Stand who realised Harps's efforts and gave him good applause.

 

Fans shouldn't boo their own players individually, a collective boo is OK though.

This isn't the main issue though, the main issue is Harper is **** and shouldn't be playing.

 

In all fairness Harper cost us that goal but also Guzan should take some responsibility for being so far off his line.
