I think Huddersfield played much more in a Lambert style last season

than the possession based style we've seen Farke try to implement so far. They play with loads of spirit, work really hard, play on the transitions and attack with pace an incision. We have done none of those things this season.

The only similarity is that they also signed a load of players from the German second division. But it seems that either their signings are better players, or their manager has worked out how to play to their strengths better than ours has.

How much longer before we have to consider that Farke is a dud? (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Aug 26, 18:08:44
- I'd be very sad if he was a dud. And a bit surprised. But he needs to do what no Norwich (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Aug 26, 18:30:26

        I'm not against a particular style of play, though there isn't just one best style. (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Aug 26, 19:22:22
  - Well,the fact that 10 of the players are his should help in that respect. (n/m) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Aug 26, 18:38:28
    - Lambert's players were his, eventually. Same applies to Worthy, and others who were around (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Aug 26, 18:43:17
