Agree - the signs are positive

Now we need to get some points on the board.
I'm pleased Hughton is making tactical substitutions nowadays, even if they don't come off. Lambert made lots of game-changing substitutions for us - it takes the initiative and can put the opposition manager and players on the back foot.
The challenge now is to get our goal-scoring department functioning properly. I think the signs are positive, and against our peers and inferiors the Wolf and Hooper can prosper. Would love to see them playing together - for SAS substitute WAHoo !

        For me it's down to the speed of our attacking play. (NCFC) - emmaroyds, Oct 21, 10:20:26
        
        I would disagree about the speed but more likely due to having more options for the pass (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Oct 21, 10:34:39
        
        come to think of it you're probably right (NCFC) - emmaroyds, Oct 21, 10:46:40
        
        Next 5 home games.....11 points minimum (not needed, what we will get) (NCFC) - Johnny Comecardiff, Oct 21, 10:17:29
