If you know a player is decent is his favoured position, and particularly a striker, let’s see how he reacts if he is asked to play in a position he’s not familiar is and see how he reacts. Will he do the defending if we need him to in a match that actually matters.
If he’s mentioning it now, 12 months later I would be confident in betting a tenner he made if known at the time he wasn’t happy playing there. Ergo, attitude isn’t up to standard.
This is good. Harvie didn't start too well, but has improved as the season has gone on, many tactical wafflers online point out that he's not the best in defence. For me, both full back spots are our weakest in the squad, so it's good to see we're going for more options there.
His first 2 games against opposition that are considered the 2nd and 3rd best in the league was a baptism of fire and he certainly looked wanting in those games. But he has grown immensely in defending and attacking. I'm more than content with our left back now.

Very interesting.
Jake Tabor is the prolific Amersham Town goalscorer. If he is to be believed, then we have been testing options for left (wing) back. Good.
Based on nothing more than the fact he's a left-back named Cole, I think he's going to be world class.
The Tabor trial was around this time last year I think
Would make sense assuming he's talking about Kone when he refers to Richard
Lomtadze's billions making themselves felt.
This looks like another good bit of business. Very impressive recruitment this season. Well done all involved 👍👍.
Out of interest how have you formed a judgement on a player you presumably had not heard of until today?
Feels like effectively a development player initially. Most don't make it. A small number do. He may (or may not ) be the good one.
He's a non-league hot shot Dev!
Well MB needs someone to talk to on his drive in
Sounds like a bit of a knob to be honest.
Tabor I mean
We are desperate to have left backs be top goal scorer for eternity. JJ would be proud.
I think that Dave Tarpey has quite the left foot on him as well
If only he can turn out to be a JJ with pace.
To me that sounds like a test that he failed.

Interesting. I think Harvie is one of our players of the season and absolutely crucial to how we play.
For all our strength in depth I'd probably be most worried about him getting injured

I think he’s fantastic at defending. The best left back since JJ. Aerially superb too, which is fairly rare for full backs nowadays.
