But it’s the same as how we finished the prem

campaign behind closed doors

We won the title again last season because we were brilliant at beating average to crap teams again which appears to be Farke’s speciality

I only had one doubt last season. One worry. One concern that wouldn't go away (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Sep 25, 21:01:39
- I'm sure you were raving about us, end of last season / close season (NCFC) - Azteca, Sep 25, 21:50:57
- I genuinely try to be half pint full about us and clap as happily as possible. (NCFC) - norwaay, Sep 25, 21:24:24
  - Yeah, we're shit at the moment but I don't think it's beyond us (NCFC) - Azteca, Sep 25, 22:09:40
  - hard to disagree with that. (NCFC) - shoddy, Sep 25, 21:41:16
    - Maybe there isn’t one (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 25, 21:42:16
      - There's a best 11 to be found but whether it's good enough to stay up is another matter (n/m) (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Sep 25, 21:54:34
      - it would seem that way at the moment!! (n/m) (NCFC) - shoddy, Sep 25, 21:46:41
  - Sums it up. Biggest disappointment is the lack of any clear style this season (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Sep 25, 21:36:02
  - Also, where are the characters in the squad? The big personalities? Who any side need in (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Sep 25, 21:27:29
    - I thought this, but then wondered who the 'big characters' we lost were? (NCFC) - Azteca, Sep 25, 22:12:55
      - Sir Alex of Tettey (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Sep 26, 00:16:11
      - Agree; we didn't really have them last year, either. (n/m) (NCFC) - AstroCanary, Sep 25, 22:15:58
        
        No, probably only Kenny and Hanley. Todd, maybe? (n/m) (NCFC) - Azteca, Sep 25, 22:16:52
        
        Well Kenny is definitely a character of sorts! Todd? Pass. (NCFC) - AstroCanary, Sep 25, 22:20:35
        
        But then we were good enough for the competition to get by without them. (n/m) (NCFC) - AstroCanary, Sep 25, 22:16:30
    - The fans need those characters, too. (n/m) (NCFC) - AstroCanary, Sep 25, 21:30:51
      - Fans? Not sure where that came from. But you know what I mean. (n/m) (NCFC) - AstroCanary, Sep 25, 21:31:28
    - It's the most beige squad ever. (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Sep 25, 21:29:26
      - You don’t think they need more time ?… (NCFC) - loz, Sep 25, 21:31:37
        
        I know how this ends. It never, ever ends differently. (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Sep 25, 21:34:13
        
        Yes. We are Sisyphus. But we can't get the boulder anywhere up the mountain at all now. (n/m) (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Sep 25, 21:39:26
        
        But that’s the limitations of our owners and the self funding model… (NCFC) - loz, Sep 25, 21:36:40
        
        You don't win the Championship at a canter and then lose six straight games (NCFC) - norwaay, Sep 25, 21:46:55
        
        Even if the reason you win the champ at a canter .. (NCFC) - loz, Sep 25, 21:51:26
        
        So it wasn’t Farke who got us up then? It was Emi? (NCFC) - jamesward, Sep 25, 22:03:41
        
        No it was coach and team … (NCFC) - loz, Sep 25, 22:06:10
        
        Loads of teams have lost their best player over the years (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 25, 22:12:19
        
        All (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Sep 25, 23:11:16
        
        Much wealthier clubs than ours and able to tool up effectively (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Sep 25, 23:11:41
        
        Yep. Farke should probably have left when Emi left tbh (NCFC) - jamesward, Sep 25, 22:11:18
        
        I think Lambert would have (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 25, 22:26:00
- Last season we had Emi and Skipp. (NCFC) - AstroCanary, Sep 25, 21:16:26
- But it’s the same as how we finished the prem (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 25, 21:07:28
  - I know. And if I'm honest, I dismissed the restart period as irrelevant (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Sep 25, 21:09:58
    - Watford, Leicester and Everton all beatable tbh (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Sep 25, 21:24:30
      - Leicester and Everton both carried a lot of injuries (NCFC) - phrankin, Sep 25, 21:31:52
