Thing is, it really wasn't like the lambert games.

In the Lambert games we were completely outclassed. Today, we played like we didn't give a s**t. Big Difference.

- pathetic (NCFC) - sotoncanary, Nov 3, 07:25:08
- Like when we lost 0-6 to them under Lambert? (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Nov 3, 00:28:15
  - We lost 6-1 and the crowd stayed behind and clapped every player off (NCFC) - wolfio, Nov 3, 00:38:49
    - Exactly, we were well in the game until the final 20 minutes. (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 00:42:31
  - With a newly promoted side, many of who were playing league one and champs football before (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 00:31:17
    - Really? Who of today's players cost a fortune? (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Nov 3, 00:32:52
      - ?30 million net spend, on top of the good players Lambert had. Don't play dumb... (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 00:34:13
        
        To be honest we do have one of the lowest squad values (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Nov 3, 00:38:28
        
        What are these valuations based on? Unless it's what we have spent in the past three years (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 00:41:01
        
        Market transfer valuation (n/m) (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Nov 3, 00:53:23
        
        What's that, some bollcoks website with made up values? Or is it what we've actually spent (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 01:03:31
        
        Transfer valuation of players should they be sold (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Nov 3, 01:07:19
        
        Which means absolutely nothing at all! Just fantasy football esque nonsense. (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 01:11:45
        
        Numbers might be off but amazing how closely market (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Nov 3, 01:14:35
        
        So if we have spent more than teams above us irl, what does that suggest? (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 01:18:12
        
        Means we probably overachieved last year (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Nov 3, 01:26:34
        
        How did last years team overachieve? Lambert's core squad had a previous similar finish (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 01:30:28
        
        Hanging onto our spending as a massive purse, when in reality, it's only the same as the (NCFC) - pants, Nov 3, 00:47:35
        
        Agree to a point, BUT (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 3, 00:52:10
        
        I actually think he deserves to be on thin ice now. 10 games is good a run (NCFC) - pants, Nov 3, 00:56:06
        
        No one is anmgery at the result, or the idea of conceding 4 or 5 (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 01:02:18
        
        Not when one is against the current champions (NCFC) - pants, Nov 3, 01:09:24
        
        Yes because United were brilliant before they played us, wren't they? (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 01:14:30
        
        Lose 1-0, or lose 7-0, it amounts to the same thing (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Nov 3, 01:20:15
        
        No it doesn't. Goal difference is a factor when we're struggling so much (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 01:25:39
        
        Maybe in a purely statistical world, yes. Add emotion and confidence to it? A mile apart. (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 3, 01:22:07
        
        It really is. (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 3, 01:05:54
        
        If we get a point at least next week, it will prove something people should really (NCFC) - pants, Nov 3, 01:10:28
        
        It's worrying if we have to cling onto the idea of drawing vs whu at home (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 01:33:13
        
        We *sometimes* do, based on this season so far... (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 3, 01:12:18
        
        *angry (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 01:02:54
        
        it's the manner of the performance more than anything today (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 00:58:11
        
        I'm surprised this becomes a new thing to some people (NCFC) - pants, Nov 3, 01:02:23
        
        Did you watch the game/highlights. Complete capitulation. (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 01:04:51
        
        fail to beat West Ham and I think that is it. (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 00:56:06
        
        Yes, agreed (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 3, 01:04:22
        
        Lose to West Ham and I agree (NCFC) - pants, Nov 3, 01:00:22
        
        It is when we're in the position we're in currently (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 01:05:47
        
        Draw not good enough pants, we probably need 9-10 (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Nov 3, 01:05:40
        
        I was also pissed of when we failed to beat Cardiff (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 00:51:02
        
        You were pissed off that we didn't beat a team that spent ?40m in the summer (NCFC) - pants, Nov 3, 01:05:29
        
        They spent ?27 million which was a little more than us, plus we had (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 01:20:05
        
        Net spenders really means nothing though does it. Really. (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 3, 00:54:46
        
        It does, because you lose quality and have to replace it. (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 00:59:25
        
        Yeah it's strikers I'm thinking about really. We've recouped nothing from (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 3, 01:03:46
        
        The players that Swansea lost had a big impact... (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 01:22:05
        
        10, 15... (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 3, 01:29:10
        
        ...and who decided to swap Becchio for Morison? (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 01:34:41
        
        Man City squad value around 450 million, us about 80 (n/m) (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Nov 3, 00:57:24
        
        You just implied that today's players were nothing like the ones under Lambert (NCFC) - pants, Nov 3, 00:35:56
        
        Also i don't know what the fuck you're going on about... (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 00:42:00
        
        Lambert's squad was a team of relatively young players from the lower leagues (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 00:37:32
        
        Yeah they're nothing like Lambert's players, they had some character at least! (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 00:37:24
        
        not really, Hughton actually has closer games than Lambert against Man City (NCFC) - pants, Nov 3, 00:44:12
        
        That's a ridiculous stance to take. Are you suggesting that Man City are better now (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 00:48:28
        
        Because they had a new manager coming in who was implementing his ideas (NCFC) - pants, Nov 3, 00:51:55
        
        Only the end of the season will prove whether you're correct on that (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 00:55:48
        
        Thing is, it really wasn't like the lambert games. (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 00:46:30
        
        Exactly. (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 00:48:48
        
        Yeah, today was like Lambert v Sunderland (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 3, 00:48:18
        
        very true, he looked ill that day, and the team played that way. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 00:51:13
- Agreed (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 00:22:51
  - Utter Tosh.......... (n/m) (NCFC) - usacanary, Nov 3, 00:47:54
    - Explain (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 01:06:48
      - Yellalee already did........ (n/m) (NCFC) - usacanary, Nov 3, 01:12:36
        
        ...and I put that argument straight to bed. Don't take the conversation out of context. (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 01:16:11
  - 'Given Infinite patience' - by whom? (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 3, 00:31:43
    - A particular group of fans who think he can do no wrong and blame other circumstances (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 00:36:03
      - But this is it, I don't think they think everything is fine... (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 3, 00:41:19
        
        Eh? SCC made a point about some people being annoying in that way (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 01:08:04
    - Wasn't that a Delia comment about Worthington? (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 00:32:35
      - Yes indeed, and we all know that Worthy was here too long... (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 00:37:59
- Will you want McNally out if he doesn't sack hughton? (NCFC) - Chris Peacock, Nov 3, 00:21:31
  - If they both lead us to relegation (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 3, 00:28:15
  - At least McNally has credit in the bank from saving the club from administration (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 00:24:59
    - he also helped us towards staying in the prem with his choice of Hughton as manager. (n/m) (NCFC) - Chris Peacock, Nov 3, 00:30:20
      - Well we stayed up so definitely, hence why he hasn't fucked up yet. (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 01:08:39
    - Harsh to call Hughton a mistake... (NCFC) - mr chimp, Nov 3, 00:27:11
      - Did I say he has made a mistake yet? (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 00:29:02
        
        Fair enough. Not trying to pick a fight. (n/m) (NCFC) - mr chimp, Nov 3, 00:33:46
      - Yeah, was manager of the year iirc. (n/m) (NCFC) - lurd, Nov 3, 00:28:24
- I saw enough in the last few games (not today) to warrant a chance for Hughton (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 00:21:04
  - Isn't that the bare minimum you would expect with the money invested this season? (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 00:23:40
    - Lots of teams have invested big cash. Somehow beat the hammers and newcastle (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 00:27:34
      - We have the fifteenth biggest net spend in Europe, apparently. (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Nov 3, 00:30:24
        
        and if we win next weekend at home to the hammers we are mid table (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 00:31:51
      - or not top half actually. But still, we are not cut adrift by any stretch (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 00:29:30
  - Rubbish, Cardiff and Stoke aside we've been fucking useless (n/m) (NCFC) - Hulk Rules, Nov 3, 00:23:29
    - and southampton and everton.... That is 4 of the 10 teams (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 3, 00:26:42
      - so you think scoring precisely 0 goals (NCFC) - Ghost Ship Belly, Nov 3, 01:59:54
