The thing I found odd yesterday was that we didn't hit it long to him yesterday

Surely the point of bringing him on was to give us another option, i.e. pump it a bit longer and have him hold it up / knock it down for Emi / Pukki. But we didn't do that, we continued to play it short.

    - I was quite surprised last night be the long throw tactic from Brentford (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 28, 09:58:15
      - Agree. They play good football but can also mix it up (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 28, 09:59:53
        
        Yes, quite right, makes the exclusion of Trybull and Leitner more strange (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 28, 10:02:14
        
        Despite a percieved weak midfield last night, we never seemed out muscled though! (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Oct 28, 10:09:31
        
        Yes, that's a valid point (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 28, 10:12:55
        
        We're missing Godfrey's calmness on the ball and passing range, that's for sure (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 28, 10:17:06
        
        Definitely this! We have to remember the new boys are still finding their rhythm. (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Oct 28, 10:23:50
- Todd looks *far* from engaged... (n/m) (NCFC) - Brom, Oct 28, 09:45:00

    - I think we was caught between two places, (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Oct 28, 10:11:20
    - I think so, he's always looked like this (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 28, 09:47:29
- I don't really see how Hugill fits into our team (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 28, 09:42:27
  - The thing I found odd yesterday was that we didn't hit it long to him yesterday (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 28, 09:48:28
    - Square pegs round holes... (n/m) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Oct 28, 10:38:26
    - yes we didn;t get a single cross in. When you want them to cross it they cut back and (NCFC) - Jim, Oct 28, 09:54:06
- Agree. Think it will click soon. Striker(s) need to find confidence/form.. (n/m) (NCFC) - derbyshire canary, Oct 28, 09:42:02
  - It's not like Pukki and Hugill are missing chances though, is it? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 28, 09:50:12
    - I'm a bit disappointed in what i've seen with Hugill so far (NCFC) - Jim, Oct 28, 09:53:22
      - I agree, Jim, but worth remembering that Toney cost about 3x what we paid for Hugill (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 28, 09:54:37
        
        We could have afforded him though. He was clearly the best option out there in the (NCFC) - Jim, Oct 28, 09:56:35
        
        I don't know enough about our finances to be able to say (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 28, 10:00:27
