Because we're playing a different style of football these days

which is pretty clear to see I think.

Solid from the back as opposed to gung-ho attack

I would like to see us bring in players who can compliment our new solid(ish) base who can provide better quality when they are going forward/creating space etc

Last season there were a lot more attacks, under this management setup I think we need to have more quality rather than expect quantity (just a thought)

My desperate solution for swansea (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Mar 30, 18:30:00
- Personally I think the biggest problem is movement. (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 30, 18:35:25
  - I think Kei pulled a few defenders away from Wes in one attack (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 30, 18:40:59
    - That's not enough though, is it? (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 30, 18:46:41
      - Agree (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 30, 18:53:56
        
        So why did we manage it last season with a worse squad? (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 30, 18:56:09

        Which just highlights poor management, change the system when you don't have the right (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 30, 19:14:03
        
        Not sure I agree with that tbh (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 30, 22:39:12
  - agree - full backs overlapping much less than last season, and even earlier this year (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 30, 18:40:45
    - Garrido overlapped well today & once got in a great position before a heavy touch. (n/m) (NCFC) - Malkybarneedledick, Mar 30, 18:42:16
      - true.. he should do it more often, because he's better at that than defending (n/m) (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 30, 18:43:22
  - You're right and I think Garrido and Tierney (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Mar 30, 18:39:56
- Tierney left midfield? (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 30, 18:33:22
  - I wouldn't play him left midfield, but that's another player that as been frozen out (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 30, 18:43:28
    - He's just a bit shit (n/m) (NCFC) - Huge Small, Mar 30, 18:47:41
      - Based on what? One game? (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 30, 18:51:15
        
        He's a clogger ffs (NCFC) - Huge Small, Mar 30, 19:00:16
        
        Garrido had three good months, been poor ever since. (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 30, 19:09:05
        
        Yep. They're both quality (n/m) (NCFC) - Huge Small, Mar 30, 19:14:51
        
        Lol, lost all respect for you as a footy poster. (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 30, 19:22:07
        
        Same here (NCFC) - Huge Small, Mar 30, 19:28:26
    - no reason to change our defence really (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 30, 18:44:11
      - ...but you have complained about a lack of threat from the overlap (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 30, 18:49:51
        
        because i think Garrido is better defensively and better going forward than Tierney (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 30, 18:55:05
        
        Garrido has been going forwards for ages though (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 30, 19:11:07
        
        *been poor going forwards (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 30, 19:16:00
        
        Other than that he is a bit shit? (NCFC) - Huge Small, Mar 30, 18:53:48
        
        So when he was one of our best players at the start of last season he was "a bit shit"? (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 30, 18:59:13
        
        He was never one of our best players (NCFC) - Huge Small, Mar 30, 19:01:18
        
        Oh shit, I must have imagined it when he came into the team (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 30, 19:07:14
        
        this (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 30, 19:02:22
        
        Why did we concede more goals though? Because our full backs attacked a lot (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 30, 19:27:13
        
        yep (NCFC) - Huge Small, Mar 30, 19:13:06
        
        No, you're just clueless. (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 30, 19:19:06
        
        Oh ok (NCFC) - Huge Small, Mar 30, 19:24:37
        
        I would respect your argument if you answered the points about tactics/personnel (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 30, 19:30:57
        
        In that sense your point is equally invalid (NCFC) - Huge Small, Mar 30, 19:40:10
        
        Well done, excellent job at avoiding answering the question! (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 30, 19:48:17
        
        In my opinion starting him instead of Garrido would have been a massive mistake (NCFC) - Huge Small, Mar 30, 19:58:56
        
        Which is a garbage argument. "In my opinion" doesn't mean anything at all. (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 30, 20:06:32
        
        "All Hughton has based his opinion on is one league game and a couple of cup games" (NCFC) - Huge Small, Mar 30, 20:15:00
        
        Yeah, the same Hughton who froze out Fox. (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 30, 20:17:40
        
        Also, here'a a relative comparison...Russell Martin. (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 30, 19:56:35
        
        Well I didn't think "He was utter s**te at right back last season (NCFC) - Huge Small, Mar 30, 20:02:12
        
        Fucking hell, he was widely regarded as being poor there. (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 30, 20:09:02
        
        Naughton was quality (NCFC) - Huge Small, Mar 30, 20:17:29
        
        He's just not good enough though - Garrido is a different level (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 30, 19:23:13
        
        In what sense? Terrible defensively, been poor for months (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 30, 19:29:34
        
        Would like to see Whittaker/Garrido playing with Barnett, Ward, Whitbred and co. (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 30, 19:12:48
  - He's very good at getting balls in the box (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Mar 30, 18:37:55
    - It's a bold move (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 30, 18:42:31
- are you ok? (n/m) (NCFC) - Huge Small, Mar 30, 18:32:12
