    I haven't fact-checked your 22 in 23 statistic, but I know it's somewhere in that territory. 

    How on earth we thought that Springett and Placheta were better options I cannot begin to understand.

    Webber cut short his loan and bigged him up, so reading between the lines I'd guess Tzolis didn't do what was asked in terms of fitness/training. Managers have to have standards and can't just keep giving chance after chance without losing respect from the group.

    It was a pretty awful thing to say, and let’s be honest will put a lot of future employers off him.  Tbh right up there with his comments about women’s football.  He really should think carefully about whether he is suited to a directors role.  Straight talking / spade is a spade types are great, but not if they don’t care about football played by half their potential customer base nor the feelings of players from a different back ground.

    Were his "comments" on women's football not him just saying he didn't watch it? Or did i miss some?

    Unbelievable. Reported for racist comments? His intention was clearly to reflect the problems young black people have in society - a problem the BBC and other news groups have reported on, multiple times. He was clumsy with what he said, but to me he was highlighting social problems and how these players might have avoided them by being involved in football. That is a good thing.

    Don't get me wrong, I don't like him and think he is egotistical and lacking in humility, but in this case, there is nothing here to get excited about in so far as reporting him.  I think it's ridiculous - he might need to apologise and explain himself a bit more  what he was trying to say, but to villify him nationally is just over the top.

    Exactly. Yet again people are choosing to apply the worst possible interpretation on language which can be interpreted several different ways from a guy with no previous. So the idea that it was racist is based on feelings rather than hard evidence and worse, anyone who points this out is then tarred with the same brush. It's not far off the religious punishment of apostates and rides roughshod over Liberal values.

    As a team, though, we've looked better without him. I know if you compare Rowe and Fassnacht as players in the abstract, there's no contest. But that right-hand side has looked very good recently, with Stacey really shining, and part of the reason for that is probably the quiet work that Fassnacht does and which Rowe doesn't do.

    Also he's made it clear that he wants out. Now, that can work both ways, and if we think his touch of genius will make the difference in the play-off games, we play him and then cash in, just as he'll use us to get the step up he wants. But he shouldn't automatically waltz back into the team when he's fit again just because he's Rowe. IMO, he's nowhere near as important to us as Sargent or Sara, or even Gunn. The team overall must come first.

    Where has he  made it clear he wants out?

    Sad to see so many fellow yellas clutching on hope it all goes wrong over in Suffolk. They clearly have some very astute businessmen over there doing a sterling job. Rather than our own global business experts on here trying to pick holes we should be hoping we can het similar investment and management try build a similarly glorious history.

    We come across as a bit envious, desperate and sour. It's a shame, we're better than this.

    Gunn, Sara, Sainz, Rowe and Sargent (and possibly Nunez) are worth well north of thatmythical "investment" and we have 15+ very highly rated youngsters coming through, plus a state of the art training ground (already paid for) to attract and keep more. Yeah, you're riding a wave at the moment but as a club, you are still way behind.

    I can't recall ever having ever being criticised for chanting nor seen any others criticised for doing so. Are you sure that either you or your mates were not being obnoxious in any way?

    Happened to me and my mates loads at CR. Basically anywhere outside the Barclay and Snakepit. I firmly believe that this is the main reason behind the tame atmosphere at CR as the vast majority will conform to the norms of the people around them.

    EFL player of the week to watch Walsall's Emmanuel Adegboyega, on loan 

    Of all our  CB talent, he's the one (like Omo before him) who ticks every box. Tomkinson's form is encouraging, but he's got a lot to prove being older and not really having the physical attributes of Adegboyega. Similar with Warner.

    Nice to see a centre-half score a header from a corner. Lungi did bloody well with that one - he's running away from goal and flicked it back stick.

    One thing good footballers have is timing. It's not a coincidence that despite Hanley getting his head to hundreds of balls in the box, he'd never score a goal like that. Good, old fashioned stopper but I feel thegame is leaving players like that behind. I hope Sorensen and McCallum are being lined up for new contracts.

    Ultras have a massive say in running clubs in Europe. In fact many of them control the season tickets. Ensuring the right fans get discounts and get to sit together. They also as mentioned above will go to the ground to discuss performance. 
     

    I do feel this is where English football has been behind. We now have the sporting directors to manage the strategy and football decisions. The next step is fan engagement to a deeper level.

    I would welcome players having to explain themselves to the fans and to listen to their perspectives. Football is a community and essentially tribal let’s not pretend it’s not. Bleed for the shirt, show passion at every moment and challenge one another to be better each day.  

    Thing is "the fans" is an incredibly broad and diverse group. Over a million people follow NCFC on Facebook, so how many of those get to give the team their pearls of wisdom to "Just geddit forrard!" or "kick it to the big man and he can score a ghoul"?

    will we miss Rowe, Sargent & Sara after next summer? Who will replace them?

    We've been saying that for decades yet we always find new stars that people tell us will be instant relegation if we sell. Nunez now really looking the part, Kamara raved about at Pompey, Aboh being talked up by Wagner and may break through, Sainz on a free and looking stronger and more consistent by the week etc etc.

  11. When we are confident with most of our best players available, Wagnerball is a better watch than Farkeball. I'd also wager it would be more efficient in the Prem. Main problem is it's so reliant on a Sargent type striker to constantly keep the opposition defence worried and sitting deeper than they would otherwise. 


  12. Someone on YouTube pointed out that had another manager been appointed at the end of our bad run and subsequent results been exactly the same, he'd be hailed a hero. People hung their hats on Wagner being "useless" or whatever and their egos can't take being proven wrong. They are even prepared to sacrifice the chance to humiliate 1p5wich in the play offs to be proven "right". Brain dead.

    Seems a section of the fan base have turned into idiots. We’ve a real chance of getting into the play offs 

    Not only that, but an excellent chance of screwing up our fierce rivals renaissance and keeping the upper hand over them. Seems this doesn't matter to the morons.

    Dave’s got a lot of convincing to do

    Well being on about the best run of form in the division doesn't seem to be enough. Seems he has to be a cross between Mother Teresa and Alex Ferguson to pacify the arrogant clowns in our fanbase. He is right, they are wrong. And they really can't take it.

    **** off! We were doing okay when attacking, Wagner hasn't a clue and creates an air of we've done enpugh and just hold on, we fall apart, he deserves every boo he gets.

    Is this a parody?! We're one of the top form teams in the league after a terrible run of injuries and just beaten play off rivals convincingly. Any nuetral reading this would conclude you've gone nuts.

    An £8m asset, why would we want that in our starting 11?  Sell him of course, it's the most progressive course of action.

    The point is obvious. We got Sainz on a free and he's twice the player we can get £8m for. Yes Tzolis was a gamble which didn't pay off and you have to mark that as a negative against the club. Sainz is a big positive though.
