Was there any truth in the rumour that Blackpool were interested in signing him last summer? If so, they must be royally hacked off with yesterday’s goal!

It took an age for him to start scoring, now he’s banging them in.
I think many were wondering if he was ever going to get a goal.
At last he is turning all that hard work into goals.
Credit to him.

I’d rather have Harris as a central striker, and Joseph as a winger.There was some discussion on this forum before the game about whether people would prefer Harris or Joseph.
Joseph looked to be the same player than we saw last season, very hard working, big and strong.
Harris, to me, did far more if the final third. The Blackpool defence seemed terrified of him. He scored, produced the pass for the McGuane chance and caused the defence all kind of problems. His recent goalscoring seems to have given him more confidence in his all round game.
If Harris took our pens (and scores the 6 cam has) he would be on 15 league goals same as colby bishop (scored 6 pens) and 1 behind Alfie may (2 pens) and only 2 goals behind th league top scorer (fair play no pens)
I feel when looking at 20 goal strikers we should consider the pen taker aspect.
I really like Harris, I hope he becomes a branners/moore club stalwart
Well, he took a “lot” of stick from some myopic fans - but many of us actually stuck with him and he’s now showing he’s the player we all hoped he would be.He took a lot of stick during his poor spell following his ban, but really pleased he has worked through that and things are falling into place again.
I like him too.
*cough*Reckon Harris’ two goals on Monday could be really key coming into this next run of games. Don’t think I’ve ever known a player so streaky - those early goals against Carlisle and Derby, then nothing from mid-august to NYD, then 6 in 7 league games to kick off the new year, and then another drought for nearly two months (no goals v Fleetwood would have made it 10 games on the spin).
Seems the epitome of confidence player, and hopefully that brace v Fleetwood sees him kick off another run like January’s.
Murphy and Harris are the 2 that Des seems to have improved significantly since he came in.His best game for the club today, in my honest opinion.
And as good as his first goal was (anticipation, touch, composure, finish) I'm curiously even more delighted by his scrappy 2nd - a proper 'strikers's goal'. He made the run, the ball didn't exactly fall kindly, but he got enough connection, and got the goal (so many times previously he's either been behind play or lacking that killer instinct).
His work-rate and fitness have never been in question, but I think he's now learning how to be a genuine striker (the intricacies - the timings, the placings).
Regardless of how this season ends, I'm genuinely glad that we'll have Mark Harris going into next season. Imagine how good he'll look with a little more support...
Yes we’ve had no one getting those poachers goals, a waste of Murphy’s crosses. If Harris is getting better at that we’ve really got a goal threat.His best game for the club today, in my honest opinion.

including a 4 month droughtWhat is Harris on? Unbelievable stamina and effort.
Oh and 19 goals so far this season.
We have been pretty lucky that he has been so good ( and remained fit) this season with no other strikers available for most of the season.
