hard to disagree with that.

The coach doesnt know his best team.

that is his job, isn't it?

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
