not exactly the same

they started with Wickham, Johnson and Borini - three out and out attacking players. We had one out an out attacking player (Elmander) and one largely attacking player in Snodgrass.

They had a threat on the counter that we generally didn't.

  - Increasing the chance of losing surely means decreasing the chance of winning? (NCFC) - APB, May 5, 08:02:17
    - No, because there is another option (NCFC) - mr carra, May 5, 08:07:08
      - Yes, but by making the draw less likely you're also making us winning less likely. (NCFC) - APB, May 5, 08:10:00
        
        I take it maths isn't your speciality? (NCFC) - mr carra, May 5, 08:15:29
        
        Ok, no need to be insulting. (NCFC) - APB, May 5, 08:17:43

        Well, I'm not into stats much. (NCFC) - APB, May 5, 08:14:46

    - Board violation ^^^^^ logic and reasoning are not permitted on the Wroth. (n/m) (NCFC) - mike_the_sphinx, May 5, 08:06:06
- I'd have thrown Hooper on towards the end (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, May 5, 07:17:57
  - We were putting them under pressure, a bit. (NCFC) - APB, May 5, 07:43:59
  - Bennett was booked for time-wasting, which was harsh. (NCFC) - APB, May 5, 07:42:23
- My view (NCFC) - Tony Martin, May 5, 07:07:08
  - If players had taken chances this season we'd be hailing Hughton as a tactical genius (NCFC) - mr carra, May 5, 07:54:44

        I think Olsson was intended as an attacking player. (NCFC) - APB, May 5, 08:04:15
  - ... and using his (Mourinho's) tactics as well. (n/m) (NCFC) - APB, May 5, 07:08:18
    - That's what I meant by frustrating them with their own gameplan (n/m) (NCFC) - Tony Martin, May 5, 07:10:11
      - Yes. Trying to do several things at once. (n/m) (NCFC) - APB, May 5, 07:10:54
        
        Me, that is. (n/m) (NCFC) - APB, May 5, 07:14:42
