Why did we concede more goals though? Because our full backs attacked a lot

which led to FAR BETTER RESULTS.

You also have to consider the poor center halves we had and the lack of a quality CDM.

Our BETTER defence this season isn't all down to personnel either, we set up to keep clean sheets now and the expense of winning games.

You have to consider the greater tactical reasoning's before even making such dumb statements.

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
        
        Because we're playing a different style of football these days (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 30, 19:01:33
        
        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
