Turning to football, I watched the highlights of Brentford v Swansea yesterday

and Swansea look little a bit like us. A bit ropey and will give you chances at the back if you get at them but real handful going forward, perhaps more counter attack based than us but with loads of pace.

I really feel quite strongly that we need a proper holding midfielder in this game (either Tettey or Sorensen is Xavi is back) and hope that Farke is considering a tweak to the team because I think if we lose the ball in dangrous areas and just let them run at an unguarded defence then they could cause us quite a few problems. If he's not going to change it then Skipp needs to play a bit deeper.

- Tettey allows the creative players more freedom to play to their strengths (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, Nov 6, 10:03:49
  - Most chances come from us doing something bad in possession (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 6, 10:30:24
    - Yep (NCFC) - Cardiff Canary, Nov 6, 11:46:05
      - I also think that Farke has tweaked his tactics a bit (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Nov 6, 12:25:24
  - Skipp and Rupp are there to try and control midfield in front of the back four (NCFC) - Cardiff Canary, Nov 6, 10:21:31
  - I’m like that at work, I allow my more creative and productive members of staff play to (NCFC) - Augustus Pablo, Nov 6, 10:17:23
  - Sorensen is match fit, so of the two I'd give him a go if we're resting Skipp (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 6, 10:06:10
- We’ve only conceded 8 in 10 games (n/m) (NCFC) - Adster, Nov 6, 09:48:35
  - Yes but in 3 or 4 of those games teams parked the bus and in the others (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 6, 10:16:19
    - Agreed (n/m) (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, Nov 6, 15:50:12
    - I expect Swansea will defend in good numbers (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 6, 10:28:36
      - Agreed. hence my view that we could do with a deeper lying CM. Maybe Skipp will just (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 6, 10:29:29
  - but that's not a reflection of the number of good chances missed against us (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 6, 09:57:59
- I’m not totally convinced by that approach (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 6, 09:47:18
  - Fair enough. What would make us more solid do you think. 3 at the back? Or (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 6, 10:17:36
    - I don't think we'll ever be solid under Farke (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Nov 6, 10:26:29
      - I agree but the attackers are also championship standard! (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Nov 6, 11:45:31
      - Most of the top teams still concede loads though. (NCFC) - lurd, Nov 6, 10:29:25
      - Fair point. Yes i think we've improved a bit from set pieces, certainly against Millwall (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 6, 10:28:55
    - I think a change in playing style would be required (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 6, 10:25:24
      - *So to answer the question, I wouldn't really change anything (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 6, 10:26:30
