Yes, I think that's fair

The acid test for my view on Farke's future will be the response to the weekend.

If we come out and show some balls and make some big improvements, then he's got a good chance of turning it around. He's got plenty of goodwill to draw on.

If we continue to play in the manner we did against Watford, or worse, then that goodwill will evaporate quickly and it's going to be hard to defend his position.

Fortunately, I think there will be a significant response to Saturday's debacle. The only thing is whether it will yield many points.....

My thoughts on Daniel Farke and our current situation FWIW (NCFC) - strap_on sally, Sep 20, 11:28:32
- After Burnley (game 7) or after Brentford (game 11) are the timings that make sense. (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Sep 20, 12:50:42
- Yep, pretty much agree with all of that. And did you manage to spot Tombs?? (n/m) (NCFC) - Azteca, Sep 20, 12:42:11
  - To be honest I forgot to look out for Tombs (n/m) (NCFC) - strap_on sally, Sep 20, 12:47:00
- My overwhelming feeling, other than massive disappointment (NCFC) - camcan, Sep 20, 12:18:09
  - waiting to see any evidence that these players are better (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Sep 20, 13:33:49
    - I am absolutely certain we are going down. (NCFC) - norwaay, Sep 20, 13:45:16
      - haha (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Sep 20, 15:30:41
  - Oh yes, I agree, very little sense of identity and a plan at the moment (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Sep 20, 12:21:35
    - Thats Farke becoming more pragmatic isn't it? We definitely had a plan to go longer quick (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Sep 20, 12:45:19
      - Beyond that one Aarons hit too hard cross early on (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Sep 20, 12:52:30
        
        Well I remember numerous attacks down the left kind of just petering because of Williams (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Sep 20, 13:07:22
  - I'm massively disappointed twice. (n/m) (NCFC) - camcan, Sep 20, 12:18:28
- My overwhelming feeling, other than massive disappointment (NCFC) - camcan, Sep 20, 12:17:56
  - I think that is mainly due to the fact we got our main targets very late in the window (NCFC) - strap_on sally, Sep 20, 12:25:24
- I'd give Pukki a rest - but pretty much full strength everywhere else (n/m) (NCFC) - seminated_woolly, Sep 20, 11:54:01
  - We simply have to play our first choice back 5 for me (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Sep 20, 11:56:44
    - For me it’s more a case of the 4-3-3 not working … (NCFC) - loz, Sep 20, 12:01:04
      - I agree that's an issue (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Sep 20, 12:02:55
      - Are you saying Farke's got it wrong? ;) (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Sep 20, 12:01:38
        
        I’m saying for whatever reason it’s not working… (NCFC) - loz, Sep 20, 12:06:59
        
        Neither am I (NCFC) - jamesward, Sep 20, 12:09:17
- DO you think though that that squad depth makes it more difficult (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Sep 20, 11:42:44
  - I think its difficult for players like Dowell and Gibson etc (NCFC) - strap_on sally, Sep 20, 11:53:10
  - You'd hope that the people that put the squad together have a plan in mind (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Sep 20, 11:51:27
- Yes, I think that's fair (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Sep 20, 11:33:31
  - It really is small margins though isn't it? (NCFC) - strap_on sally, Sep 20, 11:48:09
    - It is small margins, but Sarr had a couple of great chances in the first half (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Sep 20, 11:50:32
      - I think if Omobamidele would've started Watford he'd have headed their first (NCFC) - strap_on sally, Sep 20, 12:02:04
        
        Yes, the good thing is that there is SO much room for improvement (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Sep 20, 12:10:04
  - I’ve been shocked/astonished even at the lack of goodwill he seems to have … (NCFC) - loz, Sep 20, 11:44:06
    - Unfortunately, that seems to be the way of the world these days (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Sep 20, 11:48:20
      - If listen too much to fans (NCFC) - paulg, Sep 20, 11:52:03
- I've only ever once posted Farke Out online. (NCFC) - jamesward, Sep 20, 11:32:44
  - you did last season, too, a handful of games in (n/m) (NCFC) - jampersands, Sep 20, 11:44:20
    - I don't remember saying "Farke out" (NCFC) - jamesward, Sep 20, 11:55:33
    - sorry, meant to post link (NCFC) - jampersands, Sep 20, 11:55:11
      - Fair enough, not "Farke out" though! (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Sep 20, 11:56:08
        
        'Farke should be sacked' is fairly similar to 'Farke out' (NCFC) - jampersands, Sep 20, 12:04:14
        
        I'm not really calling for him to be sacked now... (NCFC) - jamesward, Sep 20, 12:08:38
        
        you’ve undone the magic now (n/m) (NCFC) - jampersands, Sep 20, 12:27:27

        Anyway, that's twice, and look what happened... (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Sep 20, 11:59:36
    - Yea always negative about Farke several others as well (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Sep 20, 11:45:04
