I think that is mainly due to the fact we got our main targets very late in the window

I think in an ideal world we'd have had a settled squad by the start of the season but due to costs we had to wait to get in Normann, Tzolis and Kabak. As you say our disastrous pre-season has also left us way behind in terms of preparation. Lets hope we gel very soon.

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

      - 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
      - Apart for those many, many times I haven't been (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Sep 20, 11:57:32
  - Its very easy to overreact although we can all understand the fans frustrations (NCFC) - strap_on sally, Sep 20, 11:43:49
