Flying Dutchman 744 Posted November 23, 2019 One of the (many) benefits of this is hopefully all the 'woodwork fans' who will now disappear... Great result, nobody goes down in November.ย OTBCย 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Rufus 56 Posted November 25, 2019 Spot on mate, amazing how all the "idiots" never feature when we win, you would hope the board would be busier after a great victory. I suppose the problem is that many of the scapegoats (potential or otherwise) played well, e.g. Krul, Kenny and Todd no thecwind up merchants have nothing to moan about. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cornish sam 951 Posted November 25, 2019 I am not trying to defend them, and some are clearly WUMs, the board will always be busier following a defeat because there'sย more to debate and a greater difference of opinion. When we win well then all there really is to do is to fawn and say well done, if people try to be critical (in the original sense) then they get shouted down for not enjoying the victory. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,654 Posted November 25, 2019 Itโs about playing players in their โproperโ positions - at this level you can certainlyย fill-in short-term for the odd game here and there but youโll quickly get found out. I am hoping Amadou will soonย get a run-out in CM, he could be a key player for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted November 25, 2019 All about the old cliche of one game at a time. And it was something to celebrate and give hope. Then it is Arsenal and hopefully more of the same. And then the Saints etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do agree with that. There's a big difference between the one's who only have interest in any downfall of NCFC despite being apparent fans, and those who wish to discuss criticisms and problems within the team properly. And there has been some great talking points this season. It was just frustrating that certain people went from "the injuries are an understandable problem" to "we cant use the injuries as an excuse anymore" even though the injury situation hadn't really changed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Bristol Nest 513 Posted November 25, 2019 Often people are more motivated by anger on message boards. Injuries are why we are so low in the table not Delia or Farke. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He hasn't played in that DM position for us yet so it's a bit dificult to say how key he might be. But he's already proven his adaptability and shown he'll give his all for the team, even if in an unfamiliar position. Fingers crossed we'll see him in that DM position soon but Tettey and Trybull seem to be getting the nod at the moment and we all know that Farke keeps a settled team wherever possible after a win. Have to say though, I think Tettey has been brilliant, so the fact we can play two defensively minded players in the CM positions now (combination of Tettey and Trybull, Tettey and Amadou or Amadou and Trybull) is quite reassuring!

PHILIP COOK 13 Posted November 26, 2019 Think its safe to say we would be much higher in the league with a full squad of players, gives a option of giving players a rest and keeps the rest of the players happy.Nobody could see the defence wiped out like that . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The main thing with the injuries was 1. The momentum was lost 2. The defensive injuries meant we could no longer attack without fear as there was not the confidence that if we gave the ball away there would be somebody to stop the opposing team.

Big Vince 318 Posted November 27, 2019 Do you really suppose that Zimmermann on his own is going to stop Delia going for a new club record 5th relegation? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now Vince, even for you , that sounds ridiculously stupid, as you may or may not know,ย a managerย can playย eleven playersย on the pitch atย once. So why onย earth would they play with just oneย player.... even if that player was the mighty Zimbo. Even your bird brain must grasp that concept.ย I suppose it would save on appearance bonusesย for the rest of the squad but I feel even Cristiano Ronaldoย would struggle on his own, every week , against eleven men, cretin. Either that or make whateverย point it is you're making,ย unpi$$takeable.....but I know that is beyond you. Toodke pip, run along now, fine result for ye last night eh?
