And yet he is a regular under successive managers and was wanted by other teams before signing his new contract.

Maybe managers see what fans don't, and you need all types of player to make a balanced side.

He was our top scorer last season  and I think the goals will start to come again if he stays as a regular in this team with it's more attacking mindset.

He may well give the ball away  but they all do and he hardly ever does it in really dangerous areas. If his passing was as good as the rest of his game  he wouldn't be here probably.

I've thought for a long time right back or right wing back might well be his best position.

I think that Harry needs to be allowed to run at the opposition midfielders and defenders to get space for the likes of Hunt to have more time for forward seeking passes.

I like the idea of all of the squad having to raise their game to their full potentials to get into the side under Artell, and using training sessions to improve any required skills that will benefit the team.

Harry is no different to any other player - get in the side and then make it hard for the manager to drop you.

Better players using better skills = better results and happier fans and management.

No names ., but I can think of 5 players who could improve certain skills by only 10 % to make a a far better team effort.

We also need to have players who don't drop out to continual niggles.

Is there any conditioning work needed for these players, whose skill attributes would be useful if more available?

Not sure that’s really his strength. Doesn’t have the pace to roast someone nor the technical ability to beat someone one-on-one with a trick or guile. Once he gets beyond the defender, he’s very one footed and lacks end product. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him get offered 12 months in January but think we need better.

The fact that anyone wants to even debate this is outrageous.

He's been such a good player for us since getting into the team, he sweats blood for the club and he deserves us being patient if he's searching for form.

Artell should be working with him to get the best out of him for the team.

For several seasons, Harry has been the best of a bad bunch. Recent games have shown that we’ve got more gifted players who might suit how DA wants to play. Our midfield needs a balance between attacking threat and defensive cover, maybe Harry provides both.

Comfortably our best player last year. What he lacks technically he makes up for in athleticism and attitude.

He's our only player that is capable of getting up and down into both boxes and is completely different to our other options.

When he leaves he will be missed and he will eventually play higher up, but hopefully that is with us.  

He had a good game yesterday, the best of the 3 starting midfielders and he created the best chance of the day for Holohan.
He's absolutely tireless and if you watch him he's always trying to do the right thing, not the easy thing.  
I genuinely think he'll thrive under Artell.
