I would love to know why Farke abandoned the double pivot

It tightened us up last year and if we’d replaced Skipp with a similar player we could have carried on with it. West Ham are third with a similar system.

He did need a plan B but to tear up plan A was weird and too drastic imho. Sexy B did say we missed out on some targets due to that guy leaving for Boro so maybe that was part of the story.

- I don't buy that we missed out on targets because KS left. (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Nov 9, 10:28:30
  - Also, none of those players is the Skipp replacement. (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Nov 9, 10:29:20
    - Yeah agree that we maybe needed 2 new CMs (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Nov 9, 10:40:30
      - Yeah, can't disagree. PLM as Stiepi in the 10 feels like it makes good sense tho (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Nov 9, 10:46:02
        
        Also don't you think that Gilmour might have been to allay the 'no effort' fears (NCFC) - camcan, Nov 9, 10:48:53
        
        Agree with Simon he should be written off yet... But I've not a clue why we signed him (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Nov 9, 11:12:58
        
        Hopefully we'll find out soon (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 9, 11:19:26

        I don't think he should be written off just yet (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 9, 10:49:35
