Foo observations from the highlights

Would be interesting to hear from those who went if this all tallies with their views.

1. Murph and Wes looked on great form. The former has his tail up and should hopefully be a real threat in our very winnable next few games.

2. That header they missed at 2-1 down is exactly the sort of chance we cannot keep giving teams. Bit of a Jim concern.

3. Tettey looked heavily involved in the build up to several of our better chances and s couple of the goals. Really feel that playing him and Reed together behind Wes, Madders and Murphy is a good option for the next few games to give us a bit more strength and presence through the muddle.

4. Tidy finish from Trybull who could be the surprise package given he was a very low profile signing and there are little or no expectations of him.

- They missed one or two shocking defense lapses but overall... (NCFC) - John in Texas, Aug 23, 10:12:39
  - Naismith is a puzzle. His main drawback is his pace - never seen an attacking player so (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Aug 23, 10:36:07

  - Some positional shiteness, I thought. (NCFC) - APB, Aug 23, 09:30:39
    - I'm warming to him, based solely on the fact he is mediocre but tries hard. (n/m) (NCFC) - MIKEWALKER, Aug 23, 09:41:33
      - Bit harsh to judge someone as mediocre so soon... (NCFC) - loz, Aug 23, 09:42:36
        
        He didn't play for us last season, mate (n/m) (NCFC) - MIKEWALKER, Aug 23, 09:44:34

        I can not believe they're moaning! ^^^ Tremendous effort loz (n/m) (NCFC) - Tombs, Aug 23, 11:12:52
    - Seems a useful squad player to me, useful to have as cover for all the front 4 positions (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Aug 23, 09:35:06
      - Good to stretch a game when we need pace... (NCFC) - loz, Aug 23, 09:38:33
- Tettey played ok and certainly better in midfield than Naismith (NCFC) - ruudyforcity, Aug 23, 09:20:01
  - We all thought Naismith was poor. (NCFC) - APB, Aug 23, 09:33:54
    - He really was a panic buy who's gone on, to well prove - just that. (n/m) (NCFC) - DrDublin, Aug 23, 11:04:58
      - I think 90% plus of us offofonhere wanted him - Now 90% plus of us don't! (n/m) (NCFC) - Jumbo1, Aug 23, 11:08:06
        
        Yup, agree with that too!! :) (n/m) (NCFC) - DrDublin, Aug 23, 11:17:51
- Ok, I was there. (NCFC) - APB, Aug 23, 09:17:51
  - Re point 3 I would drop Naismith/Vrancic/Stiepermann and (NCFC) - Jim, Aug 23, 09:33:41
    - We only need two DMs because our back 4 is fragile, and if we play 2 DMs we sacrifice too (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Aug 23, 09:58:34
      - Stiepermann in for Husband if you ask me. (NCFC) - APB, Aug 23, 10:20:05
    - Well, Naismith. Yeah, he's not on it at the moment based on the last couple of games. (NCFC) - APB, Aug 23, 09:42:18
      - They might but i wouldn't play either ahead of Wes, Maddison or Murphy and (NCFC) - Jim, Aug 23, 09:46:23
        
        How can Vrancic get used to the pace and physicality of English football (NCFC) - Bravo win or die, Aug 23, 10:05:42
        
        Vrancic should play at the expense of at least one of those ... (NCFC) - loz, Aug 23, 10:09:36
    - Be Interesting what happens after the window ... (NCFC) - loz, Aug 23, 09:40:25
