Gillingham - The Final Countdown

Bluebirds.tv thought its pleas for some action in the transfer market had fallen on deaf ears as the deadline loomed for the ‘crunch game’ against Gillingham.

Following an injury to Alan Lee, Thorney just coming back from one, Cameron Jerome lacking experience and Andy Campbell just plain lacking, Lennie may have pulled off another loan coup by snapping up Millwall’s Neil Harris.

Excusing a terribly bad taste pun, Neil Harris was the bollocks a few seasons back and regarded as one of the deadliest strikers outside of the Premiership until he was diagnosed with testicular cancer.

He fired in 25 goals during the 1999-2000 season and managed 28 in the 2000-2001 campaign but has struggled for form following his illness.

Harris has scored just once this season, ironically against City in their 2-2 draw back in October, but netted 10 goals last season and 12 the one before that.

In conclusion, even an off-form Neil Harris is better than what we have in attack at the moment.

Bluebirds.tv is delighted he has signed, even if it is only for a month as he will give the team some punch up front in the forthcoming ‘six pointers’ against the Gills, Wolves and Nottingham Forest at Ninian Park.

Harris is seen as something of an icon at the New Den and if he scores the winner against Gillingham tomorrow, he will be equally regarded by the City faithful.

Welcome to Ninian Park.
