All this talk of passing attacking football

and yet when it comes to the crunch, we let decent technical players like Surman go for peanuts, play a bunch of cloggers in midfield and wonder why we don't look like scoring.

- Surman played at Wolves and looked lightweight in centre mid. (n/m) (NCFC) - trianglepatch, Nov 9, 20:25:59
  - lightweight? Proof England is still in the football equivalent of the stone age (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 9, 20:32:12
  - But yet he's played there for Bournemouth and hasn't. Strange one that... (n/m) (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Nov 9, 20:29:41
- Surman was a slow lightweight, not a winger and not a Wes type (n/m) (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, Nov 9, 20:13:48
  - Letting Surman, Snod and Pilks go and not replacing any of them (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 9, 20:24:37
    - At the end of the day Surman wanted to leave (n/m) (NCFC) - Trent_Canary, Nov 9, 20:33:56
      - Maybe he did but you can replace him (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 9, 21:05:42
      - How do you know that? (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 9, 20:59:08
        
        .... (NCFC) - Trent_Canary, Nov 9, 21:08:31
        
        ... doesn't actually say he wanted to leave, just that his situation was up in the air (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 9, 21:11:58
        
        Do I give a shit? (NCFC) - Trent_Canary, Nov 9, 21:12:39
  - lightweight? no wonder we are dropping like a stone with that attitude. (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 9, 20:22:28
    - yeah no wonder (NCFC) - Charles21, Nov 9, 20:56:18
    - He was shite against Crawley (n/m) (NCFC) - Trent_Canary, Nov 9, 20:34:22
      - Ruddy was shite against Middlesborough (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 9, 20:37:33
        
        but he doesnt want to leave (n/m) (NCFC) - Trent_Canary, Nov 9, 20:42:38
        
        How do you know that? (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 9, 20:57:09
  - Yeah not up to it. Only playing regularly for lowly Bournemouth (n/m) (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Nov 9, 20:15:42
    - They had him last season and signed him up (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 9, 20:24:22
- The best one for me is how some fans still criticise Wes...God we miss him. (n/m) (NCFC) - BINMEN8R, Nov 9, 19:51:58
  - But again I don't think criticism aimed at Wes was actually at Wes (NCFC) - lovely old job, Nov 9, 19:56:37
    - Look at the managers since I have been at the club ;) (NCFC) - hoolahan, Nov 9, 19:59:02
      - swivel on it prima dona (n/m) (NCFC) - Upperjarroldmiddle, Nov 9, 21:31:43
  - I miss you too (n/m) (NCFC) - hoolahan, Nov 9, 19:55:59
- Agree with tge Surman decision, we still lack a midfielder with some real vision (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Nov 9, 19:49:21
  - Surman hadn't played for us for years (NCFC) - Charles21, Nov 9, 19:55:54
    - yes in fairness I saw Surman v Wolves and Crawley and he was playing (NCFC) - lovely old job, Nov 9, 19:57:40
      - well, since Hughton became manager, quite a few players 'didn't want to be here' anymore (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 9, 20:03:04
