City 2nd 191 Posted February 25, 2022 What an embarrassing side NCFC are to watch, just awful, and Southampton were not much better. NCFC need the championship and it won’t be too long coming playing like that. Generous of the club to pay coach fares for this farce of a match, now perhaps they would like to reimburse the ticket fees. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mengo 822 Posted February 25, 2022 3 minutes ago, (Hoola)Han Solo said: Pukki has been great for us and deserves our respect, but the fact that a 32 year old with limited mobility is our only striker sums it up.

The setup was wrong, I know nothing compared to Smith but thought we should stick with formation that got us some improvement and results. Also the tactics early on were bizarre as it was neither high press of counter attacking football. Awful performance and a worry as to where we go from here.

Spillay 180 Posted February 25, 2022 Gunn, Hanley and possibly Gibbo can hold their heads high,. the rest should be ashamed of their "performances". We are so woefully short of quality, Southampton are a good side but they wont have an easier 3 points all season, we just didnt compete, or show any fight thats the basic requirement. Difficult to take 😞 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 3,300 Posted February 25, 2022 I can’t get my head round the subs! McLean utterly useless jogging round and doing nothing staying on the pitch! We needed a win and we subbed as if we’re winning one nil! Very poor by Smith had that been Farke he’d be crucified by the pink un! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted February 25, 2022 I dunno why Giannoulis can’t get 20 mins, he was the only option in the bench who might’ve given us some attacking impetus. Not advocating him to start but he would be a great super sub option (see Newcastle away). He’s had several decent games this season but doesn’t even get a look in anymore. He can probably count himself the most unfortunately player in the team to have featured as little as he has done considering the mediocrity in the central midfield that start week after week. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty13 2,234 Posted February 25, 2022 2 minutes ago, Christoph Stiepermann said: It's unlikely. This is a side that finishes in or just below the play off and that's before sales. We've lost the few key ingredients we had for success in the last two times, we still have a good Championship side, but we've lost what made us almost unplayable at that level Other than Fulham the Championship is dire this year. Our fully fit squad should walk promotion, that’s the gulf in class we are trying to bridge in the PL. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keeping neither was suicidal. This team finishes just outside the playoffs for me How do you keep a player you don’t own or a player who made it clear he would get us up but would expect to leave if a sizeable offer is made?

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,749 Posted February 25, 2022 Dreadful...dreadful bench...and dreadful substitutions Taking Rashica off when losing 1-0?? With Cantwell shipped out and Tzolis not even on the bench, surely Hernandez would have been preferable to anything we had on the bench tonight ...as for the midfield...scandalous that McLean is seemingly bulletproof With Sorenson back fit, McLean should be 6th choice in a list of Normann Lees Melou Sorenson Gilmour Rupp McLean ....but still he gets picked and just as 2 seasons ago where he was continously picked , we will go down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This. Much as there is a lot to blame Webber for those two are not our fault.

ron obvious 1,502 Posted February 25, 2022 Game changed completely when PLM & Rupp came on. If we'd have started with the energy levels & commitment those 2 showed from the start it would've been a much closer game. Normann & Rashica were both so lethargic it looked to me they were ill. I wonder if they were? I must say that i think Williams was under the weather too; he looked like he was trying to force the pace but his legs weren't having it.
