A different way to think about it Jim

Other teams are allowed to play well too. They battled very hard, pushed high and made it very hard for us. Yes, we didn’t control the game like we can, but that’s because of their work I think. Same with the Sharp goal. He’s scored a tonne of goals this season, because he’s very hard to mark. Easy to say crap marking, which it might have been, but the mental effort of cocnstantly tracking his movement will grind you down.

That was just two good teams, going hard at each other. Neither bossed it. A draw was pretty fair.

- 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

  - 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

    - 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
