has there been a more perfect match to describe this season (NCFC) - big member, Mar 16, 08:30:48

    - It is much better! (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Mar 16, 09:27:17
    - Better, mostly because of sara... (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 16, 09:27:15
  - Think you're right and this is why I'd be fine not going up. (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Mar 16, 09:18:24
- I thought Huddersfield were the better team from the goal so not even 45 mins ok (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Mar 16, 08:50:27

      - Sorry I posted that in the wrong place, I was replying to myself (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 16, 09:06:41
        
        Agreed (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Mar 16, 09:20:15
  - Huddersfield were the worst championship side I’ve ever seen (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 16, 09:03:43
    - Worse than the Hudds side we beat 7-0? (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Mar 16, 09:10:31
      - Yes (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 16, 09:14:24
        
        Yes. That Cantwell, Emi and Dowell trio was humming and would have shredded anyone (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Mar 16, 09:25:46
        
        And spanked the crossbar with a freekick! (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 16, 10:29:02
- Listened to the Huddersfield comms. They immediately started laughing when they saw and (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Mar 16, 08:45:44
  - No I think it IS how we should play, but when the time calls, get the fucking ball out of (NCFC) - Augustus Pablo, Mar 16, 08:48:01
    - That's also how I'd like to see us play however I don't believe we currently have the (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Mar 16, 08:52:56
    - Think that's because going mid or long hadn't stuck at any point in the game (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Mar 16, 08:52:33
      - Mind you the build up to our goal I’d say was a mid range pass out to Idah initially (n/m) (NCFC) - Augustus Pablo, Mar 16, 09:00:39
        
        I've just watched it again, it starts from their attacking throw in on the wing! (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Mar 16, 11:28:37
        
        Might be the exception that proves the rule (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Mar 16, 09:09:25
- Oh and 6 minutes injury time and we still flick Fanny fart about from a goal kick. (n/m) (NCFC) - Augustus Pablo, Mar 16, 08:34:35
  - Loz is correct further down, think of the Millwall goal under Farke (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Mar 16, 09:10:20
  - That was fucking ridiculous (n/m) (NCFC) - DH Yellow, Mar 16, 09:04:54
  - 100% this. It really pissed me off. (n/m) (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Mar 16, 08:40:22
    - Don’t get me wrong, I think its the way to play for the majority of the game but not then! (n/m) (NCFC) - Augustus Pablo, Mar 16, 08:45:04
      - Agreed. To me it was clear there was no one on the pitch taking the initiative or (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Mar 16, 08:48:41
        
        There never is. Hanley doesn’t lead. Kenny tries at least. But there is nobody (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 16, 09:05:29
        
        This^^ (n/m) (NCFC) - Augustus Pablo, Mar 16, 08:49:51
        
        That's because after losing Wes and Buendia we haven't got a player (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Mar 16, 09:49:33
        
        Yep, Madders did that too (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 16, 09:53:49
        
        Yep,plus 8n retrospect teams had to double up on those 3 (n/m) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Mar 16, 09:58:37
        
        Which obviously created space for others (n/m) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Mar 16, 09:59:01
        
        Sticking to a philosophy works though when you are good at it … (NCFC) - loz, Mar 16, 09:02:52
        
        The important caveat being 'when you are good at it' (n/m) (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Mar 16, 09:21:49
        
        Trouble is you get good at it by doing it … (NCFC) - loz, Mar 16, 09:22:58
        
        Not if you're limited by the technical ability of the players you're using. (n/m) (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Mar 16, 09:27:57
        
        Many of the players are the same that managed to play this way under Farke (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Mar 16, 09:31:20
        
        No they're not. We had Emi, Skipp, Godfrey, and a host of Germans who were technically (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Mar 16, 09:42:37
        
        Unless you’re bad at it. Ie “I’ve been driving for 50 years” , yeah, badly for 50 years (n/m) (NCFC) - Augustus Pablo, Mar 16, 09:26:32
