Spent ages writing a post and i took to long so lost it. (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:04:15
- I do agree something doesn't look right going forward. (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Aug 14, 22:35:38
  - I think Pukki was brought in as a second striker not a 9 (that was Rhodes) but struck gold (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:45:54
- So much no. Wow that is as bad as it gets (n/m) (NCFC) - earlydoors, Aug 14, 22:15:23
  - 10/11 players that started tonight ="Wow that is as bad as it gets"? (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:33:03
- I don't think I've ever disagreed with a post more than this one... (NCFC) - mrleelee, Aug 14, 22:11:41
  - Todd at CM ... what could possibly etc? (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Aug 14, 22:14:07
    - Expand on that... (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:15:08
      - Well ... (NCFC) - paulg, Aug 14, 22:19:03
        
        Did you actually read the article? He specifically says he doesn't want to be a head coach (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:31:26
        
        But he would give no defensive cover? (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Aug 14, 22:36:15
        
        Watch the first two Liverpool goals and notice what Billy offers defensively (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:58:35
        
        In truth we need a genuine skipp replacement (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Aug 14, 23:09:09
        
        Yep. (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 23:18:09
        
        Did Gilmour? (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:49:36
        
        Not sure ... but then again, we conceded 3! (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Aug 14, 22:53:30
        
        😁 We look short of athleticism in midfield without Skipp that is apparent (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 23:01:29
        
        Huh. Weird. It kept a different message title. I'd put "did you actually read my post?" (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:32:23
  - You think Gilmour offered much more defensively in the centre than Todd would? (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:13:41
    - I can't see that line up being anything other than 4-2-4 (NCFC) - mrleelee, Aug 14, 22:35:31
    - I'm afraid he's right... your midfield wouldn't survive 5 mins (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Aug 14, 22:15:19
      - It's literally just Todd for Gilmour (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:16:12
- That's the most wide open team I've ever seen. (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Aug 14, 22:09:39
  - No, against Colchester was probably more open. (n/m) (NCFC) - Men without hats, Aug 14, 23:12:17
  - It's 1 player different to the one that played tonight... (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:12:37
- no idea what you are talking about, not a clue. (n/m) (NCFC) - Malkybarneedledick, Aug 14, 22:08:25
  - Fair. (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:13:59
- Drop Gilmour? Really? He was class today (n/m) (NCFC) - Tier2canary, Aug 14, 22:06:31
  - He was fine. Not sure he was significantly better than PLM. Gave the ball away dangerously (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:10:47
    - He was miles better than Melou. (n/m) (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Aug 14, 22:29:43
      - I wouldn't even have Melou as a starter if we could find (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Aug 14, 22:46:29
        
        Was he? I know very little about Gilmour other than the hype. (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:48:55
