Ruel Fox wants a word but Hucks and Wessi left and right would suit very nicely

In which case Chippy and Tettey I guess, though hard to argue against any of several others...

    - Don’t think so (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Jun 6, 17:55:00

- Emi surely RW rather than central midfielder? Hopefully 2 x "forwards" as need Wes! (n/m) (NCFC) - JD3, Jun 6, 14:25:39
  - Emi is just as much a midfielder as Wessi isn’t he? (n/m) (NCFC) - Old Git, Jun 6, 14:36:59
    - Wessi is going in as one of the forward 2 with a striker, for me Clive. (n/m) (NCFC) - JD3, Jun 6, 14:40:14
- Martin Peters Todd Cantwell (n/m) (NCFC) - KevinBond, Jun 6, 14:24:29

  - Sorry, you've said that already.... (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jun 6, 13:41:19
- Howson and Tettey were huge for us. Dave Philips too. Townsend. (n/m) (NCFC) - Thegelman, Jun 6, 13:35:25
  - Philips played on the left wing didn't he? (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, Jun 6, 13:52:34
    - Sure did. Amazing with Bowen at left back too. (n/m) (NCFC) - Thegelman, Jun 6, 15:20:57
  - Vote for 2 Gellers (n/m) (NCFC) - strap_on sally, Jun 6, 13:35:59

    - iS THE CORRECT ANSWER (n/m) (NCFC) - KevinBond, Jun 6, 14:21:50
  - Martin O'Neill deserves a mention, but not sure where? (NCFC) - mr carra, Jun 6, 13:50:23
    - I remember him playing as midfielder for us and I remember thinking he was decent (n/m) (NCFC) - strap_on sally, Jun 6, 13:52:36
      - Drove us almost single handedly to promotion in 81/82 (NCFC) - mr carra, Jun 6, 13:55:00
        
        I was only 8/9 years old so even though I was a regular in the River (NCFC) - strap_on sally, Jun 6, 13:57:51
  - Could we play wessi off the right? (NCFC) - strap_on sally, Jun 6, 13:34:21
    - Ruel Fox wants a word but Hucks and Wessi left and right would suit very nicely (NCFC) - Old Man, Jun 6, 13:38:00
      - Imagine, Hucks, Emi and Wessi playing behind Pukki and Holt (NCFC) - strap_on sally, Jun 6, 13:40:26
        
        That would leak so many goals (n/m) (NCFC) - Old Git, Jun 6, 14:12:12
        
        I'm ok with that (n/m) (NCFC) - strap_on sally, Jun 6, 14:19:51
        
        We do need a DCCDMDF though and Tettey is it I think (NCFC) - Old Man, Jun 6, 13:44:07
        
        Andy Townsend for me (sadly as he's a twat) (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, Jun 6, 13:47:18
        
        Fair (NCFC) - Old Man, Jun 6, 13:48:41
        
        Its a 9 player bench with 5 subs allowed so plenty of opportunity (NCFC) - strap_on sally, Jun 6, 13:45:43
