Scary that you believe we have the quality of Given waiting in the wings
The FACTS would tend to back me up.
Last season's records league records.
HARPER Played 19 Points gained 26 Goals for 26 Goals against 23. Average goals conceded per game 1.21 - record extrapolated over full season - 52 points - i.e 10th in league.
GIVEN Played 19 Points gained 17 Goals for 19 Goals against 42. Average goals conceded per game 2,21 - record extrapolated over full season - 34 points - i.e 19th in league (relegation)
That's a neat thing you're doing comparing Given's worst ever season (due to injury,) to what's probably Harper's best.
