When I look at teams that have been promoted and have done well

Us under Lambert (a while ago, admittedly), Huddersfield, SHeff United, Leeds, Brentford this season, they all have some attributes in common.

The main one being a real intensity to their play. They seemingly understood that they weren't going to out football most premier league teams, as a result, they needed to make sure that as a minimum their intensity outstripped the opposition.

With that in mind, and given our experience last time out in the PL, why the chuff are we not playing with intensity? Looking back at 2 seasons ago, we did play with intensity against Newcastle and Man City and they were our best performances.

I don't see anything to suggest Farke will be able to turn it around this season.

  - That's the worst thing about Farke in the Prem (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 25, 10:47:14
    - It’s like watching our first season under Farke all over again, but against better teams (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 25, 11:57:46
- Give me one reason why you think Farke will keep us up (n/m) (NCFC) - thirsty work, Oct 25, 09:27:15
  - I don’t just don’t see changing coach will make much of a difference … (NCFC) - loz, Oct 25, 09:30:44
- I really don’t think managers think that far ahead (NCFC) - Duck, Oct 25, 09:26:27
  - Yep. Out of work managers just want a job, in particular (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 25, 09:29:12
    - But the chances are we wouldn’t want an out of work manager … (NCFC) - loz, Oct 25, 09:32:01
      - Why wouldn’t we want an out of work manager? (NCFC) - Duck, Oct 25, 09:35:09
        
        Because out of work managers tend to be older and over the hill.. (NCFC) - loz, Oct 25, 09:51:43
        
        Why do they have to be young and dynamic? (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 25, 09:54:00
        
        Because to fit the self funding philosophy… (NCFC) - loz, Oct 25, 09:58:23
        
        For now, it's just about staying up imo (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 25, 10:01:06
        
        We have 0% chance of staying up. (n/m) (NCFC) - munter, Oct 25, 10:02:17
        
        Maybe, but it would be nice to make it look like we're trying (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 25, 10:09:58
        
        Agree. Relegation would not surprise many but at least fight (n/m) (NCFC) - munter, Oct 25, 10:22:06
        
        Just scoring a goal would feel epic right now (n/m) (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Oct 25, 10:18:09
        
        Offer Diego Martinez a £10m staying up bonus (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 25, 09:38:46
- I just want us to actually try and stay up by not delaying a decision (NCFC) - Jim, Oct 25, 08:27:25
- Farke has already binned the philosophy (NCFC) - SCC 28, Oct 25, 08:26:36
  - By philosophy i don’t do much mean playing style … (NCFC) - loz, Oct 25, 08:32:51
    - Farke may fall flat on his face back in the champs too (NCFC) - CWC, Oct 25, 08:44:39
      - Totally but we know he is likely to know the league … (NCFC) - loz, Oct 25, 09:09:30
        
        Yes but the presumption we go straight back up if relegated is dangerous (NCFC) - Jim, Oct 25, 09:46:41
        
        Agree but think that’s likely to be the case whoever is at the helm (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Oct 25, 10:34:15
- I’d like to agree with you, based on Farke (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 25, 08:21:37
  - Ps. Not Mark Robins though… (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 25, 08:24:03
    - Lambert with Holt as assistant (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Oct 25, 08:27:15
- I tend to agree with that. Perhaps another option is an adviser for Farke ie Hodgson. He (NCFC) - Biggles, Oct 25, 08:20:15
  - Agree - we have come into this season again without a seasoned hand (NCFC) - camcan, Oct 25, 09:01:24
    - Yup definitely need attacking play if we are up against tough opposition. It’s the best (NCFC) - Biggles, Oct 25, 10:24:07
- A lot of sense in that (NCFC) - paulg, Oct 25, 08:19:49
  - Watford and Chelsea are quite good at it but that's their model. (NCFC) - Trent_Canary, Oct 25, 09:14:41
    - In theory our set up should make it easy to change the manager whilst (NCFC) - Adster, Oct 25, 09:25:51
      - Interesting tho - I wonder if it is? (NCFC) - paulg, Oct 25, 09:42:26
