😁 We look short of athleticism in midfield without Skipp that is apparent

I hate to say physicality because you need more than a brute but it's energy a bit of grit. Skipp wasn't huge and muscular but he went into challenges as if his bones were made of concrete. Hopefully his injury hasn't changed that.

        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

        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
      - Go check out the stats... (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:42:49
