Yep

Less bite and a smidgen more finesse...

I always get the sense with rupp and mcclean that their role is to mop up and play the simple pass - cycling and recycling the ball. Unglamorous, but necessary work.

I'm a huge fan of Vrancic and Stiepermann (and Dowell looks great too) - but we do run the risk of having a midfield of mostly attack minded players or playmakers.

Skipp/Dowell (and maybe Sorenson) look like they've got a bit of balance on both sides - which is what we'll need to challenge and to survive if we do go up.

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

  - 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

    - 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
