Neil has no say in any contracts. That is down to Ridsdale. People know my opinion on harrop. He isn’t good enough. Some fans will still be talking about his ‘potential’ at 27.

Who decided to offer Harrop the deal? Ridsdale on his own? Without consulting Neil?

I wouldn’t class 125 mins this season as someone being match fit

You said his first few games, nothing about this season. As it is, he consistently fails to influence games, both when starting and coming on as sub. He isn’t effective off the ball, his movement and positioning is poor, his passing can be good but is inconsistent and he is easily knocked off the ball.
 
I'm pretty sure that we'll get more or less the same out of Harrop for the next three seasons than we've had out of him over the past three if he stays here.

Yeah doesn’t seem the smartest business to offer someone a 3 year ‘prove yourself’ deal at the best of times.

Let alone when they’ve had 4 years to prove it already.

Maybe we are protecting an asset, but if someone wants to spend money on him at this stage I’d be staggered

3 years to "prove it" minus almost a full season due to injury. 2017/18, 2018/19 (injured), 2019/20. Not 4, just for fair balance.

So in reality, he has had 2 seasons of playing time. Obviously, Neal doesn't trust him in his rigid "winning system" this season.

The ability is there but maybe he is playing, when he does do, under the wrong manager.

Time, as always, will tell.

Lastly, there are some sad people heaping all of the blame on one player tonight in the main when the entire team was poor today.

Last few games, Storey has copped it on here yet he didn't play today and we still fuck up numerous times.

It's as if all the fringe players aren't good enough - yet they're the ones we'll be stuck with next season.

Yeah, he’s not match fit

Hardly their fault, that fault lies somewhere off the West Cumbrian coastline.

Sure.

But I'm looking at it right now from the point of view of a PNE fan who watched this shitty stuff today, and potentially has to watch much the same shitty stuff from the same shitty players for the next 3 years.

If these fringe players and assorted stiffs are clearly not good enough, I'm not going to reserve my opinion until Sunday morning when I have time to write a strongly-worded letter to the Isle of Man, because ultimately it's all their fault.

I'm going to post in a PNE forum thread named e.g. "Harrop" instead.
 
Harrop epitomises the leadership regime. Painstakingly scouted players who could offer an immediate improvement to the squad dismissively rejected due to being too expensive.

One kid comes on for Utd in a dead rubber and scores a good goal. Hemmings all over it at more money than he refused for players the manager wanted and were 20 times as good. And despite the fact if he bothered to ask anybody on the inside if Harrop was any good. To which he would have found out that, no, he's a show pony and will do well to have a career at Conference level.

It is simply staggering, I would hate to be a manager working for Hemmings.

I’d love for some of you lot to put a better squad together with our budget. Would be league one level at best

You wouldn't be wrong to compare them at this stage

No other league team picked up Burke, think Harrop will end up in league one at his next club.

Not quite same position but if you're comparing him with player let go in recent times I thought Daryl Horgan was pretty good today and he's had decent games for Wycombe in last few weeks aswell.

Thought he was decent in final Grayson season and was surprised AN gave up on him so quickly given his high energy style fits into that way of playing.

He’s shit

Daryl Horgan was excellent today. Most of Wycombes attack came through him and our defenders were petrified of him. He is absolutely not the same player that left us

I got slaughtered on here back in the day for defending Horgan. Quality player.

One good game and now worth 30 million

Please, find one person that has suggested that



And before you start slagging me off, most on this forum will tell you I’m a massive Harrop fan, so I’m not just bagging on him for no reason
