        I don’t know but I am sure Jim will have a theory … (NCFC) - loz, Nov 3, 19:16:25

        That’s michal Bailey’s comment not Farke isn’t it? (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Nov 3, 19:26:31
        
        Sorry just re read your comment … (NCFC) - loz, Nov 3, 19:33:19
        
        If you think that’s what farke has done and why, I can’t help you (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 3, 19:22:37
        
        I think there has been a falling out and people are being stubborn to the (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 3, 19:24:53

    - If it's true that he's playing silly buggars, when we actually really need him, (NCFC) - Azteca, Nov 3, 17:22:33
    - Todd Cantwell is Todd Cantwell (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 3, 17:21:46
- He's contributed nothing and doesn't train or play. Get rid and save the club his wedge. (n/m) (NCFC) - Larrikin, Nov 3, 16:42:13
  - Welcome to the forum Mr Farke.... (n/m) (NCFC) - usacanary, Nov 3, 17:09:20
  - I think we should burn him too. That'll learn him. (n/m) (NCFC) - Under soil heating, Nov 3, 16:46:42

        What doesn't add up? (NCFC) - Garry Brooke, Nov 3, 16:39:25
        
        As I said, not apportioning blame at all (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 3, 16:42:08
        
        Where's the bullshit from, then? (NCFC) - Garry Brooke, Nov 3, 16:47:47

        This is exactly what it feels like to me. Others play after missing as there's more trust (NCFC) - megson, Nov 3, 17:01:20
        
        Indeed. (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 3, 16:54:18

        It was an international break …. (NCFC) - loz, Nov 3, 16:32:29

    - A week and a couple of months are a big difference to conditioning (n/m) (NCFC) - Ken Breadstick, Nov 3, 16:05:15
      - Normann can barely last 70 mins every game tbf (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 3, 16:18:33
        
        It's never been in question that it's more than fitness, has it? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 3, 16:25:51
        
        I read the piece and it doesn't mention attitude (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 3, 16:27:15
        
        Fair enough, I've not read it (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 3, 16:30:47
        
        The attitude is around his willingness to train every day … (NCFC) - loz, Nov 3, 16:29:49
        
        does Farke want people to train through minor injuries and risk aggravating them then? (NCFC) - CWC, Nov 3, 16:43:58
        
        There must have been some kind of falling out (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 3, 16:50:12
        
        Be interesting to know if he's training with the U23s (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 3, 16:49:36
        
        Yet others miss sessions and play (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 3, 16:31:41
        
        If that's the case, the insinuation must be.... (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 3, 16:40:38
        
        Yeah, it may be that Todd's being a fuckwit (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 3, 16:43:16
        
        Agreed - can't be fitness (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 3, 16:43:55
        
        Yes but he had t already missed a bank of training through personal issues had he? (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Nov 3, 16:33:16
        
        Two weeks. Absolutely nothing for a super fit pro (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 3, 16:35:35
        
        Well suspect there is more to it than meets the eye but… (NCFC) - loz, Nov 3, 16:40:53
        
        Yes. Which is all I said all along but you love to argue (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 3, 16:43:47
        
        I don't think jamesward is saying anything contrary to that (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 3, 16:43:17
        
        👍 (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Nov 3, 17:54:53
