djchapsticks Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 15 hours ago, Sonny said: When asked what Saints fans can expect to see from him, Harry said: "My strongest point is my reading of the game. I've played a lot of games so hopefully I should have a good bit of experience. You'll just have to find out when you see me play." Exactly what we miss. MacKenzie can read a game but is made of glass. The rest? Not so much. If he can vocally and effectively organise a defence then I'm sure we'll be very happy with him indeed. Certainly, on paper at least, a back four of Eckersley, Davis, MacKenzie and Irvine looks like it should bring an air of calm and solidity to the side. I get that most folk are very down on Irvine but he played OK last week IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Pityme Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Harry's quote is interesting, considering his first game will likely be at Dumbarton... "I've always known St Mirren to be a big club so hopefully we can get ourselves out of this situation that we're in." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Aye Away to Dumbarton then Away to East Fife. He will think he has joined non-League football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougJamie Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Used to work in Crewe, went to some games and similar club to ours in many ways.............

I am being harsh. He is not a left back. Maybe at right back he could be more effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way he'll still be LB tomorrow though but I'd shift him across to the right and play him ahead of Stelios, purely because I don't fancy 3 of our back 4 making their debuts at the same time.

I am one of his biggest detractors but did give him credit last week much to the amazement of the guys I sit with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 IN PRAISE OF 'ARRY I think 'Arry has been a bit of an unsung hero since he arrived. The difference in our central defence is night and day. He wins most high balls, reads the game well and is a leader at the back. But mostly he just clears his lines - no fannying about. And of course he is a goal threat at dead ball situations scoring 2 in the short time he has been with us (better than most of the strikers we have had this season). Thought he was great today against a £50M strikeforce. Well done 'Arry and I'll raise a glass to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 I've been a massive fan of both Harry and Adam Eckersley. Amazing how two guys can just make a defence look so much more at ease. Harry certainly wasn't kidding when he said he was good at reading a game and if we do stay up this season, I'd love to see him staying on.

BuddieinEK Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 a real defender who knows how to defend! If at all possible, I would build the defence around him and keep him for as long as possible! Also noticed the improved communication throughout the team, with players talking to one another throughout the game... none moreso than Davis.

Tommy Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Is he out of contract at the end of the season and if so it could depend if he had a family to uproot. Need to be in this league for any chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
