I know it was a must not lose but I’m a bit disappointed by that performance

At times lovely stuff but we never really had control of the game and our usual horrifically bad marking from crosses has cost us.

Perhaps with Leitner we would have had more composure and controlled the game better but I don’t think we were at our best today against decent but ultimately quite basic opponents. An opportunity missed for me but we live to fight another day and we go again. The big winners today Leeds and West Brom.

- Defensively we were a complete mess (NCFC) - Ben, Jan 26, 17:41:24
- yep, poor performance but a good result not to lose (n/m) (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 26, 17:07:07
- yeah, totally agree on Leitner. We really need him for game management (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Jan 26, 17:05:53
- Sometimes you have to acknowledge the role of the opposition (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 26, 17:05:45
  - I think we went a bit more direct and as a result lacked a bit of patience in possession (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 26, 17:08:11
    - Possibly, but they press high up the pitch and so there is danger (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 26, 17:09:19
      - Don’t disagree - still hope (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 26, 17:11:01
        
        Mo might make a surprise appearance at Leeds (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 26, 17:11:21
        
        Yes - he was instrumental in our run pre christmas (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 26, 17:38:34
- A different way to think about it Jim (NCFC) - Under soil heating, Jan 26, 17:05:39
  - Course they are. I just feel we had that game in our grasp twice and let it slip (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 26, 17:07:23
- They are an excellent side jim tbf (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Jan 26, 17:04:06
  - They aren’t. They are a good side but pretty limited. (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 26, 17:05:49
    - I sort of agree on that. They look very solid all over the pitch, but really aren't *that* (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Jan 26, 17:09:39
      - That’s exactly what they are and why they grind out results and don’t have many slip ups (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 26, 17:12:08
  - Created loads more chances than at Swansea (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 26, 17:05:35
    - eh? Krul only made one save all game. I wasn't particularly worried about them scoring at (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Jan 26, 17:11:06
      - They had loads of great chances (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 26, 17:15:24
        
        I don't agree, they had very few chances. Yes, some good positions but bugger all real (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Jan 26, 17:46:32
    - Look how young our defence is not really a surprise is it? (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Jan 26, 17:08:48
- 2 great goals but not much else (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 26, 17:03:53
  - tbf we had a couple of other great chances first half (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Jan 26, 17:06:32
  - As we always do, especially without Klose. (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 26, 17:04:57
