I think it's a real aim if Webber and Farke to be more defensively solid

Not just for this season, but for should we get promoted. As great as we were in the promotion season and as much fun as it was, we did ship a hell of a lot of goals - would be interested to know how many clean sheets we kept, and of course in the Prem it was a hell of a lot worse. I don't think they want to rely on us blazing to victory in games and think they're tinkering with the philosophy, wanting the holy grail of attractive attacking football but offering more protection at the back. I think they'll keep aiming for this.

Let's bring Leitner back! (NCFC) - Timmy_Goat, Oct 19, 00:16:35
- yep, considering he's not been sold, it would be madness not to reintegrate him (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Oct 19, 09:26:47
  - Irrespective of what has happened behind the scences (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Oct 19, 10:33:53
- He's not that good and didn't even play half the games in our promotion season (NCFC) - Azteca, Oct 19, 09:16:31
  - Yeah, this (NCFC) - Cardiff Canary, Oct 19, 10:42:52
- He's just not that good though is he (n/m) (NCFC) - earlydoors, Oct 19, 07:31:33
  - I think there is a lot of revisionism about his performances (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Oct 19, 10:51:37
    - He's a player who has attracted a lot of loyalty (NCFC) - Cardiff Canary, Oct 19, 11:04:21
      - My point is I don't think he's had enough continuous game time for (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Oct 19, 12:32:22
        
        He actually played quite a lot to start the Prem season. (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Oct 19, 13:10:42
      - I think the revisionism is mostly about his defensive work (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Oct 19, 11:08:58
        
        Interesting (NCFC) - Cardiff Canary, Oct 19, 13:34:40
        
        One wonders if measuring how much someone has run about (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Oct 19, 13:38:31
        
        it certainly doesn't in Duda's case as he contributed very very little (n/m) (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Oct 19, 16:40:28
        
        He did a lot of chasing in the game West Ham comfortably beat us two nil. (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Oct 19, 13:08:15
  - Until Vrancic came into the side (after Leitner was injured) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 19, 09:43:47
    - The period were Kenny became "undroppable"... (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Oct 19, 13:31:48
    - I think it's a real aim if Webber and Farke to be more defensively solid (NCFC) - Azteca, Oct 19, 09:56:36
      - You might well be right.... (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 19, 11:01:31
    - Tettey's the only one who will make us more solid (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 19, 09:54:16
      - yep, we haven't really looked any more solid with Rupp or McLean (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Oct 19, 10:12:55
        
        Rupp has looked a lot better last two games than previously (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 19, 10:15:57
        
        I'd be interested in seeing Skipp given a go at that role (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 19, 11:03:00
        
        Rupp looks tidy (NCFC) - Cardiff Canary, Oct 19, 10:44:20
        
        Yes, good shout. Rupp is reminiscent of Three Lungs with a bit less "bite" (n/m) (NCFC) - Old Git, Oct 19, 10:51:24
        
        Yep (NCFC) - Cardiff Canary, Oct 19, 10:59:32
        
        for someone who's meant to play a single passes, he cocks up a lot of 5yd balls (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Oct 19, 16:43:16
        
        I agree (NCFC) - Cardiff Canary, Oct 19, 17:09:16
        
        maybe so now he appears to be our backup CB! (n/m) (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Oct 19, 20:34:04
        
        *simple (n/m) (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Oct 19, 16:43:31
        
        As it stands though, we're neither solid nor particularly effective going forward (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 19, 11:19:30
  - How often has he had a run of games? (n/m) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Oct 19, 08:27:27
    - That's partly because he always gets injured (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, Oct 19, 08:32:02
      - Maybe,but I can remember Buendia getting injured 2 years ago and Leitner (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Oct 19, 08:38:40
        
        1 Assist and 2 goals in his whole Norwich career (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Oct 19, 10:40:21
  - That too- (NCFC) - Captain Bligh, Oct 19, 08:03:00
- I will LOVE IT if that happens (NCFC) - Nelsons final flanel, Oct 19, 06:53:06
- I'm torn on this one (NCFC) - Captain Bligh, Oct 19, 06:44:24
- Yes (n/m) (NCFC) - colincanary, Oct 19, 04:41:48
