Harrop

[Mancunian White]

One good game and now worth 30 million

Who said that?

He's looking like a decent championship player, nothing more, nothing less. Better than when he left us.

Ridiculous hyperbole here.

 

[Mancunian White]

I used to think he was all energy no end product but he looks to have really worked on himself

The thing with energy and end product is that sometimes you can develop the latter, and rarely the latter. Going to Scotland has clearly worked out for him. I don't want him back but he's clearly an improved player.

 

[prestonnefc]

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

Horgan is not at the standard, hence why he’s playing for Wycombe. GA is working wonders with that squad.. some managers work well with lesser squads and he’s doing exactly that. Horgan isn’t good. Will never move outside a team of that standard. Harrop is twice the player of Horgan

 

[Former Member]

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

Not by me.

He was a bit raw, but really busy and was a threat. Two good feet. The fact we got rid of him yet still have Bodin on our books is a real shame.

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

He’s been here for over 3 years, surely you should be able to work out why he doesn’t get any game time. If you don’t try and get your head around the fact he’s not very good.

so what are Harrops qualities and why should he be in the team?

Then enlighten us with your advanced knowledge as to why you think he is better than he actually is. Prey tell.

I will have a bet with any of you he’s atleast playing in the championship or better until he reaches 30

 

[Kitman]

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

Need I say, AN regressed his playing ability. Or drove the confidence out of him?...

 

[OB1]

Harrop has been here 3/4 years, and has not really developed. Argument to be made he’s regressed. For whatever reason, as I don’t think it’s as simple as one point

But he seems unable or unwilling to develop his game. He’s got natural talent, in the way Callum Robinson did. But Robinson spent every year developing on his weakness, epitomised by the season he came back after pre season very bulked up, to the point you could see the difference in the stands. Harrop hasn’t done that

 

[OB1]

I just don’t think he was good enough at the time. His end product was poor, but in a league as bad as Scotland you can develop that if you have the other attributes

 

[john2321]

If he does, and it’s a big if , I guarantee you it will be at a club like Preston, poor players, stagnating and going nowhere. That’s his only hope.

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.

I’m not sure you watch games. How can you say 2 years of, on the whole, anonymous and poor games.

Kevin O’Connor didn’t just ‘need a run in the side’ Graham Burke didn’t just ‘need a run in the side’ they were quite rightly shipped out when it become apparent they were miles off the standard

If Harrop came from the League of Ireland he would be long gone and everyone would be saying good riddance.

Just haven’t seen any evidence that the ability is there.

It’s quite obvious he isn’t match fit

Ahhh, twisting what I said.

Good work chief. 👍

For the record, I seen and attended more North End games than you've had wanks.

Yeah and you’d think that many games would have given you a decent perspective on evaluating players.

He’s not good, not even worth having the conversation

My perspective is fine.

Just because it differs from yours does not make mine wrong.

It just makes it an opinion. We can all find faults and plusses with players.

I could have a field day with your boy at RB, even though he is decent, I could still equally rip him apart by exposing his many flaws.

Yeah but Fisher is a top championship defender who has started 100 odd games at right back. Should have been Player of the season last year as well.

You’re welcome to try and ‘rip him apart’ but most people agree on his quality.

You might be the last man left willing to die on Harrop Hill.

Tell me about some good things he did today in probably his most favourable opportunity this season?

 

[deepdaledreamer]

There's undoubtedly some talent in there but he really has to harness it now, we had Players in the past Macken, Basham to name but two who took a while for the penny to drop that they had to go out each week and prove that they were good Players and that having talent alone wasn't enough, they did it and he needs too and soon otherwise he will go the way of loads of others who should have had much better careers.
