Ah, yes.

Makes you think.

There are quite a lot of scenarios possible. Defending every game and losing all three would be 0 points. Scraping a win all three times with negative tactics would be 9 points. Playing 4 strikers and giving it the old G-Pump to the max and drawing three times would also be 3 points. Or many combinations if those.

It's all what ifs and maybes isn't it? In what actually transpired, we have 3 points. Isn't that what matters?

I'd go further than that Jim. Carry on like that and we will lose 4 or 5 straight (NCFC) - elk, Nov 11, 09:58:06

        I have no idea how they played against the other teams (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 11, 12:10:03
        
        That said I agree with you was important not to lose (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 11, 12:13:46
- Heritic burn him (NCFC) - ghostof barry butler, Nov 11, 10:03:03

  - Go out in a blaze of glory. Yes. Every time. (n/m) (NCFC) - APB, Nov 11, 10:05:39
    - people say that (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Nov 11, 10:10:44
      - Well then they'd be idiots using simple hindsight. You go down over 38 games, not one. (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 11, 10:19:21
        
        point is all very good and noble now saying win or bust (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Nov 11, 10:22:49
        
        Yes. (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 11, 10:25:32
        
        He is doing a good job. Hughton's unwillingness to go for the 3 points against poor sides (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 11, 10:22:16
        
        i don't disagree with this and it may be that things evolve over the season (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Nov 11, 10:25:05
        
        thats a understatement (n/m) (NCFC) - ghostof barry butler, Nov 11, 10:23:17
    - win = 3 points; draw = 1 point; lose = 0 points (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 11, 10:09:52
      - Although our close rivals would have gotten 3 points for the game we lost going for it... (n/m) (NCFC) - Vivid Data Shark, Nov 11, 14:23:21
        
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ (n/m) (NCFC) - Chris Peacock, Nov 11, 14:26:10
      - Ah, yes. (NCFC) - APB, Nov 11, 10:15:13
        
        *of* (NCFC) - APB, Nov 11, 10:18:40
        
        3 points for a win gives an advantage to teams that win games. (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 11, 10:19:48
        
        Genius. (NCFC) - Arizona Bay, Nov 11, 11:19:42
        
        ROFL (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 11, 11:31:02
        
        Good point. (n/m) (NCFC) - APB, Nov 11, 10:20:53
      - IF (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Nov 11, 10:13:02
        
        IF? I hardly think anyone would be crying if we played 2 for 30 mins against Reading..... (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 11, 10:15:09
        
        yes IF. (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Nov 11, 10:21:51
        
        It was one-way traffic against Villa, wasn't it? (NCFC) - APB, Nov 11, 10:17:04
        
        Took him till 70 minutes before we had two strikers on the field (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 11, 10:18:55
        
        Since when does having two strikers mean more attacking? (NCFC) - APB, Nov 11, 10:24:25
        
        to be fair we battered them for the entire half. How positive do (NCFC) - Pixelman, Nov 11, 10:23:14
        
        whatever you think...... I am sure our goals tally will coincide with this positive play (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 11, 10:27:26
        
        we had lots of possesion but (NCFC) - ghostof barry butler, Nov 11, 10:26:32
        
        Did you watch the game? Did you see how many saves their keeper made? (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 11, 10:29:08
        
        And I am assuming there were plenty in the box to take advantadge (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 11, 10:30:56
        
        Two or three normally, yes. I'd say that was enough for an away game. (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 11, 10:33:36
        
        Different mindsets. Lambert would see 0-0 at 60 mins vs poor side and think we can win (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 11, 10:38:57
        
        Isn't that the thing though. Lambert did differently to almost ALL managers, not just Hoot (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 11, 10:43:41
        
        Good point lee,lambert was abit of a one off,probably tinkered too much at times as he (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Nov 11, 10:55:36
        
        The mindset is different, simple as that. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 11, 10:50:39
        
        The last shot of the game was Ryan Bennett's. (NCFC) - APB, Nov 11, 10:27:45
        
        Ryan Bennett lashed it from just inside the area. (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 11, 10:29:16
      - finally someone is doing the Maths (n/m) (NCFC) - ghostof barry butler, Nov 11, 10:11:01
