Carlisle grab a draw! Wooopeee!
Now 13 games to see how Carlisle are doing
P04 W2 D2 L0 08-03 GD of +5 in 04 games (GD + 1.250 per game) 08 Points from 04 games = 2.00 points per game = 92 Point Season 57 goal GD With Harte
P10 W3 D3 L4 11-10 GD of +1 in 10 games (GD + 0.100 per game )12 Points from 10 games = 1.20 points per game = 55 Point Season 04 goal GD W/O Harte
They have dropped a projected 37 points per season and a 53 goal fall in projected GD
Anyone still prepared to say they are doing as well as when Harte was there?

Completely irrelevant. No team maintains their form over a specific 10-game period (or fewer games in some of your posts on this thread) for a full 38-game season such that this extrapolation is relevant.

Victor Meldrew Getting back to the original point of this topic-Harte.
In all my years of watching Reading I can only think of Paul Bodin and Stuart Gray as being worse left-backs than Ian Harte.
His superb free-kick only clouds the issue IMHO.
A left-back is in the side first and foremost to defend and in the last two home games he has been dreadful.
I really do hope that Brian gets a clearer vision of the left-back position as today Harte's contribution comes out at NIL.
He was totally at fault for their 3rd goal and then scored our 3rd so net he has effectively done nothing.

2 world wars, 1 world cup
I'm inclined to agree and I *hate* knocking players.
His goal was phenomenal but it's worrying me a little that we have a striker who can't score goals but who seems to do good non-striker jobs.
And we have a left-back who *might not* be very good at defending (I'm not going to comment on whether or not I agree with this as I don't think I've concentrated on him enough to say to be honest) but can score.
Therefore we're getting our goals from midfield/defence and we must be getting our good defensive record from somewhere else.
Or perhaps there's something far more subtle going on here. Perhaps Brian has moulded a team that's far greater than its individual parts. Everyone is doing everything. Defenders are scoring. Strikers are getting in deep and battling/defending. Whatever it is though the table doesn't lie.... but then again the table can only tell us how good we are, not how good we SHOULD be i.e. yes we're good, but if we fix the left-back situation with, say Armstrong and we fix the Long fiasco with another striker or we go 4-4-2 will we do a lot better?
I'll leave that one to Brian!
