Exactly, the Villa lineup was so negative compared to today.

Hopefully Jerome is upfront from now on, as well as Redmond wide right. We need to play to our strengths. Also like the idea of Naismith cutting in from the left. It's the balance in midfield that's going to be interesting. If Tettey comes in for either GON or Howson. The problem with AN is he seems to want Howson in his eleven so ends up with him wide right when Tettey/O'Neil play. I think he's wasted there really.

        No, there was no better squad in the Champs last season than the one we had (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Feb 13, 21:22:22
        
        Disagree. We've been vastly overrated over the last few years. (NCFC) - lurd, Feb 13, 21:26:59
        
        Who had a better squad then? (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Feb 13, 21:55:40
        
        Bournemouth and Watford (n/m) (NCFC) - lurd, Feb 13, 22:06:26

        Ah yeah you're probably right (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Feb 13, 21:25:01
      - Do we have any stats on promoted teams upgrading managers after promotion? (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Feb 13, 20:59:26
        
        Watford upon promotion (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Feb 13, 21:03:41
        
        It's only an upgrade if it works though, and that's not guaranteed (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Feb 13, 21:05:27
        
        Errr Mark Hughes *was* an upgrade (NCFC) - norway, Feb 13, 21:20:43
        
        He is at least an ok prem manager (NCFC) - SCC 28, Feb 13, 21:07:50
        
        My worry with Norwich is that we'd search the whole of Europe like last time! (n/m) (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Feb 13, 21:10:55
        
        Palace another recent one (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Feb 13, 21:00:17
        
        But those changes came when the team was rock bottom (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Feb 13, 21:03:34
- AN interview suggested to me he is trying defensive (NCFC) - Charles21, Feb 13, 20:46:02
  - He said he wanted to be on the front foot against Villa. O'Neil backed that up. (n/m) (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Feb 13, 21:52:03
  - Which was a bit silly against such a poorly defensive team (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Feb 13, 20:49:40
