And re sitters being missed...

That's par for the course playing at a lower level. We are usually guilty of that ourselves. I don't like Martin as a CB but he is definitely better at distribution than our other options. An example of how he adds something to our attacking style but not overall defensive performance.

Ruddy, Josh & Pritchard (10 role) in. Wes, Jacob & McG dropped. (NCFC) - walksie, Oct 20, 09:30:13
- Drop Wes at home to Preston? Seriously? (n/m) (NCFC) - BINMEN8R, Oct 20, 12:15:14
- No way should McGovern be dropped. Or Wes. (n/m) (NCFC) - bird table, Oct 20, 10:05:05
  - We can defend crosses in our area at all!!!! Maybe having Ruddy (bigger physically)... (NCFC) - walksie, Oct 20, 11:18:07
    - Do you remember John Ruddy at all? He's big, but pretty ineffectual moving around his box. (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Oct 20, 11:23:37
      - he was OK when he was brand new - I still think Rudd was better when he came in (n/m) (NCFC) - Jumbo1, Oct 20, 11:46:30
        
        👀 you drunk bro? (NCFC) - Tombs, Oct 20, 11:51:35
        
        yes (n/m) (NCFC) - Jumbo1, Oct 20, 11:55:03
- Agree with Ruddy and Josh... (NCFC) - Darren Eadie, Oct 20, 09:35:23
  - More reason to give Pritchard a game and let him prove what he can do!!! (n/m) (NCFC) - walksie, Oct 20, 11:17:00
  - 8 teams have let in as many, or more, goals as us. Only 3 teams have conceded fewer shots (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Oct 20, 09:58:07
  - Defensive problems more due to attaching style... (NCFC) - loz, Oct 20, 09:40:30
    - I think they are due to a terrible defence. Pinto for example is poor defensively. (NCFC) - Jim, Oct 20, 10:16:58
      - Yup, our international defenders are terrible... (n/m) (NCFC) - avenging canary, Oct 20, 10:23:58
        
        Olsson is not terrible nor is Klose. Martin is ok at full back. Pinto is (NCFC) - Jim, Oct 20, 10:34:16
        
        Our defence as a unit though is poor. (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Oct 20, 10:34:53
        
        Not comparatively at the level were at though... (NCFC) - loz, Oct 20, 10:47:14
        
        Comparative to the rest of our team. Even when we went up under Neil before (NCFC) - Jim, Oct 20, 10:55:41
        
        Don't thing that's backed up... (NCFC) - loz, Oct 20, 11:00:26
        
        And re sitters being missed... (NCFC) - loz, Oct 20, 11:04:21
        
        VMT (n/m) (NCFC) - avenging canary, Oct 20, 10:49:26
    - Agree. Why drop McGovern? (n/m) (NCFC) - avenging canary, Oct 20, 09:59:05
    - Agree... (NCFC) - Darren Eadie, Oct 20, 09:58:52
- And why Wes? (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 20, 09:33:26
  - Wes was completely shot against Fulham. I would give him a break.... (NCFC) - walksie, Oct 20, 11:16:24
    - Preston are better than you think (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 20, 12:54:10
  - Agree (n/m) (NCFC) - Darren Eadie, Oct 20, 09:35:38
    - Should have been to Jumbo's post! (n/m) (NCFC) - Darren Eadie, Oct 20, 09:39:27
  - Wes should have been rested for the Fulham game not Preston (NCFC) - Jumbo1, Oct 20, 09:34:50
    - Agreed. (n/m) (NCFC) - BINMEN8R, Oct 20, 12:18:06
- Why ruddy? (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 20, 09:33:11
  - Very much this. Good luck to JR, but McGovern is a better keeper (n/m) (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Oct 20, 11:03:29
