    There you go again, different league and different season, do you not accept that Todd was instrumental in our promotion season, and can you show me conflicting stats that say I am wrong about our record so far in this league season with him in and out of the squad?. It is not so much my faith in Todd as it it offering up a possible explanation for two defeats and no goals scored........

    Oh for goodness sake, it’s not all about one player who may or may not have made a difference had he been playing.  It’s about the abject failure that was apparent last season and which is continuing now.

    If only Todd had been playing, two defeats and no goals since he has been left out of the squad........

    Notwithstanding your faith in all things Cantwell, I really doubt that his presence would have made the slightest difference.  After all, he was present for most of last season when we managed to lose almost every week.

    16 defeats from last 18 games is sacking form. Forget covid, forget self funding. No excuses. 

    Absolutely.  But our board has consistently demonstrated a failure to act decisively, preferring to dither until it’s too late.

    I don’t accept failure. Neither do I accept downing tools on my club during a tricky period when the players and all connected could do with seeing a little faith installed in them from the supporters.

    Sorry, but you are clearly demonstrating an acceptance of failure.

    Abuse but no acknowledgement of how much Todd will be missed if he does leave. Two games without him, two defeats, maybe Farke brought the wrong one back into the fold, offered not very much, lucky to stay on the pitch............

    Plenty of games with him, plenty of defeats.

    Teemu doesn’t slip, we win that game - no way would Derby have come back from that. We were dominant. Can’t blame Farke for a slip.

    If Teemu didn’t slip, and that’s how fine it is, this thread wouldn’t even exist today. Nor would half of today’s part time posters.

    One win in 20.  How long are you willing to accept failure?

    He was a one season wonder. He has to go but he won't - too much of a good stooge who sings the boards propaganda for then to get rid. They will never sack him.

    Actually his success was piggy-backed on the one season wonder of Pukki scoring goals, which is something he has spectacularly failed to do before or since.  Time to get rid of both.

    I was there and in my 'bubble of one' I had a clear row in front, a clear row behind and two clear seats either side. That side of things was fine, the main issues were outside of the ground where we were herded into small areas and tight queues. 

    In fairness, despite initially being a little apprehensive, I thought it all went well and that NCFC did an excellent job in sorting it all out at such short notice.  It felt completely safe throughout and the two seats either side plus alternate row arrangement worked extremely well.

    And to accommodate these new toilet restrictions half-time is going to be lengthened to 90 minutes!

    Would it be better to be in the middle of a row and have to squeeze past everyone else to get out for a pee, or at the end of a row and have everyone else squeezing past you?  Neither seems particularly in keeping with social distancing, but so long as no-one shouts, coughs or sneezes then I suppose the risk is low.  Can’t say the same for the handles on the toilet exit doors - distinctly unhygienic even in pre-Covid times.

    even if 8000 are still allowed , who knows with the clown in charge, it would definitely rule out the bubbles of 24 the club is proposing

    Other clubs had already set the family/bubble limit at a maximum of 6 (Ipsh*t, Sunderland), whereas we were intent on attempting to shoehorn as many as possible into the ground on the ludicrous pretext of having up to 24 in your family group.

    12 losses is poor and Farke needs to sort the mess out quick! But my word, why is everyone so bothered about that league cup game? Rubbish cup, would have had Reading away and now we can focus on the league! 

     

    Rubbish cup?  It’s the only cup we’ve ever won so don’t be so eager to ridicule it.

    The run is going to be the thing that people latch on to until we get a draw or a win.  Sincerely hope it will be against Huddersfield, but even if it isn't, it's a long season and results will come.

    I hope you’re right, although the truth is that slow, predictable tippy-tappy Farkeball has failed in two out of three seasons and it certainly didn’t work yesterday against Luton who easily closed us down in the final third throughout the game.

    I didn't persist with anything I said the season was "hideously distorted" - that means that it affected everyone.  I know we were poor, it isn't rocket science, but to pretend covid did not affect the season for everyone is just denial of the obvious.

    Exactly.  It affected every club, so clearly can’t be used as an excuse for the woeful performances our lot produced week after week.

    No genius plan?  It might not be genius, but it is certainly a plan with some merit - and those that refuse to see it are just in denial, presumably because they have blinkers with £ signs on them.  We all know what the plan is and why it was needed - you either accept it or you just go on and on being disatisfied. 

    I would say to anyone who doesn't get it - try and understand it! One day we might get a rich owner but until then what we have is the best we can get - and the present era of Webber/Farke has seen us produce an incredible season of success within strict limits of budget - followed by one that has been hideously distorted by covid - and not helped by injuries to our key defenders - and one that will see us in a much better position financially in the championship to be able to compete at the top again and if we go up again we WILL be in a better position to buy more expensive players and make a better fist of it.

    You still persist with your Covid excuse for our abysmal performances but every team in the country had to cope with exactly the same circumstances.  The plain truth is we were shockingly poor and the reasons for that lie firmly within the Club.

    Nah that doesn't count now, remember how this works. The past is irrelevant. Well, that's what i've been told when bringing up our championship season. But last season, whilst also being in the past, is now relevant. Till they decided it's not relevant, which is whenever suits, really.

    Top trolling.  Well done.
