But we'd scored three in the one before

With basically the same team.

The simple (and rather sad - welcome to modern football) truth is that we have won more games this season playing in the more defensive style than we have playing the more attacking one (there's surely a reason managers who have a reputation for never getting relegated - Pulis/Allardyce - almost never play attacking football). Maybe we'd have added one to that total if not for mistakes by two stand-in defenders, which is hardly tactics-related.

It was mentioned last night, but there's been a common denominator the last (NCFC) - BINMEN8R, Apr 19, 10:28:19
- Picking neither Wes nor Redmond was the problem (NCFC) - Chalk Hill Bitter, Apr 19, 12:12:57
  - He also changed things after his initial approach to this league (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Apr 19, 12:17:14
    - That initial approach actually got us points and Wes (and/or) Redmond were part of that (NCFC) - Chalk Hill Bitter, Apr 19, 13:07:00
      - Fair points. Naismith had a good debut and linked up well with Mbok vs Newcastle (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Apr 19, 14:37:33
      - that naive initial approach is arguably the main reason we are in this sh*t (NCFC) - mr carra, Apr 19, 13:18:36
        
        Precisely. AN set us up to not get beat, he did not envisage stupid mistakes for the goals (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Apr 19, 14:38:21
        
        Well, we scored zero goals in the last two games (n/m) (NCFC) - Chalk Hill Bitter, Apr 19, 13:23:42

        Hughton was defensive but carrow road didn't want him. (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Apr 19, 14:38:50
- He passed the ball like a 7 year old when he came on on Saturday. Well weak. (n/m) (NCFC) - MIKEWALKER, Apr 19, 10:29:11
  - He hardly touched the bastard, did he? (NCFC) - Garry Brooke, Apr 19, 10:44:57
  - the game was gone when he came on because of the prior subs (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 19, 10:43:04
    - Wes is finished at Premier League level imho, unless he plays behind 2 (two) (NCFC) - MIKEWALKER, Apr 19, 11:17:53
      - What gargantuan horseshit (NCFC) - duke of york, Apr 19, 14:01:58
      - Wash your mouth out, Mike (n/m) (NCFC) - Old Git, Apr 19, 12:16:59
      - It's all your fault. You made them play WING BACKS at colney. (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Apr 19, 11:21:40
        
        The wingbacks nearly got us a point at Leicester, you heartless swine! (n/m) (NCFC) - MIKEWALKER, Apr 19, 11:23:19
        
        NEARLY. We don't pay McNally + (S)AN to NEARLY win/keep us up (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Apr 19, 11:28:55
        
        Just been down Colney and I can confirm McNallys car park space has been widened.... (n/m) (NCFC) - MIKEWALKER, Apr 19, 11:36:06
        
        For his new motor (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Apr 19, 11:44:50
      - you're finished at this level (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 19, 11:18:42
        
        Oh I'm retiring day after Everton pal. King, aptly, is heir to the City Father throne. (n/m) (NCFC) - MIKEWALKER, Apr 19, 11:22:04

      - Seb should've shielded the ball long enough for Wes to come and weave his magic with it (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Apr 19, 11:12:49
        
        Seb had nobody to pass to all game (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 19, 11:19:37

        He's not the messiah! (NCFC) - APB, Apr 19, 11:33:00
        
        Big time. Surely not a coincidence we lost the last two games without Timmy (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Apr 19, 11:30:14
      - Would have been a different game (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 19, 11:08:33
