Yes they should react better but players need to play the percentages more

If Cantwell puts that ball out for a throw near the halfway line the whole side would have reset.

And yes I know that’s how we sometimes beat the press etc but he gives the ball away in those really dangerous areas one or two times a game.

Against Villa at home virtually every goal (and about 5 other chances) came from it. It’s about decision making really and knowing when to take a risk and when not to.

        Turn of phrase, I don't mean we could have won the games easily but (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 23, 10:15:19
        
        That's incredibly harsh on Krul (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 23, 10:19:35
        
        Don't agree. He's good on penalties, I don;t feel he saves much else but (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 23, 10:22:19
        
        I think he's partly the reason our scorelines have looked competitive (NCFC) - CWC, Jan 23, 11:22:32
        
        I think Krul has been very good this season and potential POTS IMHO (NCFC) - maidstoneyellow, Jan 23, 10:47:55
        
        Not easily, but we could definitely realistically have another 8-10 points (NCFC) - duke of york, Jan 23, 09:49:53
    - You say that after most games but I never see opposition fans saying how lucky they were. (NCFC) - lurd, Jan 23, 08:30:44
      - I’m not crying about it but it’s frustrating the way it’s gone (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 23, 08:57:15

        and as to the view of neutrals - this from the telegraph (NCFC) - paulg, Jan 23, 09:58:36

  - WE CANT DEFEND (n/m) (NCFC) - lurd, Jan 23, 07:41:31
    - Or we lose to bizarre deflections, VAR etc. (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 23, 08:18:09
    - In fairness to the defenders (who should still react better) they are (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 23, 07:51:14
      - Have a look at Zimmerman for Alli’s goal, he was clueless. (NCFC) - lurd, Jan 23, 08:28:37
        
        fail to stop the cross and good players will eventually score (NCFC) - paulg, Jan 23, 10:02:09
        
        Hanley had already cut out several of those crosses (NCFC) - duke of york, Jan 23, 10:05:15
        
        I don;t really agree with continuing to play Byram ahead of Lewis. I think (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 23, 10:18:13
        
        Agree (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, Jan 23, 11:24:21
        
        yes- but one will get thru eventually (NCFC) - paulg, Jan 23, 10:07:01

        Yes they should react better but players need to play the percentages more (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 23, 08:59:58
