Right so today we were s**te... but I think we are a bit ahead of ourselves calling for th

is early especially as most of the players that people have been calling for to in the team missing through injury for the most part.

Fox play midweek to get match fit.
Bennett and Pilks both injured.
Wes I believe was dropped to make us more solid (something which I believe our esteemed previous manager did on his arrival too) but now is being brought back in.

I agree to some extent to the complaints about rigidity and turgidity but isn't that just because we are used to Lambert's tactics we have to forget that he was a one off. Most managers are like Hoots believe in the system, play the system....stick to the system.

Last season we got very lucky with regards to injuries as most of realised at the time with no cover for holt and wes. This time we haven't been lucky.

- havent been lucky? Holt and Wes have been injury free? (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Sep 29, 22:58:51
- lol at dropping Wes to be more solid, that really worked against Fulham and today! (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Sep 29, 22:14:25
  - I'm not saying it worked...and before today most people would have agreed (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Sep 29, 22:18:39
    - The idea that playing Wes makes us less solid is a bit of a myth (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Sep 29, 22:33:10
      - not wes's fault but by not playing him means we play a midfielder (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Sep 29, 22:44:57
        
        We've concentrated on defense and have 3 points from 18, conceeding 13 goals (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Sep 29, 22:52:22
        
        Last season, Lambert had the team he wanted... (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Sep 29, 23:03:21
        
        Lambert dropped Wes because he inherited a shit team from Gunn/Roeder (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Sep 29, 23:11:12
        
        Surely last season's team needed a little more solidity? (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Sep 29, 23:34:39
        
        Solidity in the terms of personel, yes. Not a wholesale change in tactical philosophy. (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Sep 29, 23:48:14
        
        Bassong was an excellent signing, I think we had the tactics right last season (NCFC) - phrankin, Sep 29, 23:06:47
        
        Pleased with Bassong, best thing Hughton's done. Same approach as last season (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Sep 29, 23:13:17
      - again brilliant. (n/m) (NCFC) - Malkybarneedledick, Sep 29, 22:38:45
- oh fuck it ... calling for the manager's head this... (n/m) (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Sep 29, 22:10:21
  - don't worry old chap not much of that made sense anyway. (n/m) (NCFC) - Malkybarneedledick, Sep 29, 22:11:34
