Expectations have sunk so low that a half where

we press quite well and force some turnovers is hailed as a turning point.

Teams do that to us most weeks.

- McKenna is a decent manager & this is the team he built. (NCFC) - derbyshire canary, Oct 6, 09:20:49
  - Agree. My point: Manning isn’t as good as McK, not at the moment. (NCFC) - derbyshire canary, Oct 6, 09:51:53
  - They were pretty ordinary. They are a bit kick and rush to be honest, Philogene won't keep (NCFC) - Jim, Oct 6, 09:24:39
    - If you can’t see past this way of thinking then you’ll never be at peace with anything (NCFC) - Yuller69, Oct 6, 09:56:49

      - It stinks of relegation (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 6, 09:33:10
    - VMT (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 6, 09:23:20
- I thought we looked pretty good for significant periods (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Oct 6, 09:00:42
- I feel the same to some extent (NCFC) - Brom, Oct 6, 08:15:20
  - What would playing to his strengths look like? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 6, 09:13:23
    - Also don’t think he’s making very good runs atm (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 6, 09:29:47
    - Putting a ball in to the box would be a start (NCFC) - 51eve, Oct 6, 09:22:18
      - The other issue is he's our only attacking threat (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 6, 09:34:58
  - Yeah the Sarge thing is a concern I agree. Not playing to his strengths. (n/m) (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Oct 6, 08:19:37
- Utter drivel sorry (NCFC) - SCC 28, Oct 6, 07:45:35
  - Fuck me, trolling again. It wasn't a howler. (n/m) (NCFC) - Men without hats, Oct 6, 10:52:29
    - You weird fucker yes it was (NCFC) - SCC 28, Oct 6, 14:22:49
  - It wasn’t a howler but he should have saved it (n/m) (NCFC) - Hertscanary, Oct 6, 09:02:07
  - There’s no way that can be called a GK howler … (NCFC) - loz, Oct 6, 07:58:22
    - Just watch it back (NCFC) - SCC 28, Oct 6, 08:07:38
      - Misjudgemenr is not the same as a howler (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Oct 6, 08:08:33
        
        Inexcusable for a pro keeper to misjudge it (NCFC) - SCC 28, Oct 6, 08:23:27
        
        Manning undone by individual blunders? (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Oct 6, 08:34:15
        
        Must be very frustrated (NCFC) - SCC 28, Oct 6, 08:37:51
  - You said yesterday that there was a chance of relegation (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Oct 6, 07:50:00
    - Why is it an over reaction? We’re bottom six, no points (NCFC) - Chopper, Oct 6, 08:10:31
      - Yeah, its not great I agree. But having been at most of those games I think we are (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Oct 6, 08:16:57
        
        The same WBA that we limped to a defeat to .. (NCFC) - loz, Oct 6, 08:21:11
        
        We didn't limp to defeat. It was a complete smash and grab. (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Oct 6, 08:27:18
        
        lol what? (NCFC) - SCC 28, Oct 6, 09:16:09
    - We look a bottom 6 side so far (NCFC) - SCC 28, Oct 6, 07:57:03
      - I dont think it is a complete overreaction (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 6, 09:09:25
      - I agree about Sarge. If he went that would be a worry (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Oct 6, 08:01:15
    - Certainly a chance just look at the results / form (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Oct 6, 07:51:27
- Don’t think anyone had said Ipswich are crap… (NCFC) - loz, Oct 6, 07:36:44
  - Lots have teams have had good possession and looked ok… (NCFC) - loz, Oct 6, 07:39:14
    - That Pompey game was one way traffic in the first half (NCFC) - Yuller69, Oct 6, 07:59:45
      - “16 years, you’ll never sing that” (NCFC) - Yuller69, Oct 6, 09:59:34
      - SIXTEEN (n/m) (NCFC) - Chris Peacock, Oct 6, 08:51:43
    - Do you want to take the bet that they won't be in the top 6? (n/m) (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Oct 6, 07:40:55
      - I think comfortably top 6 not top 2 (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Oct 6, 07:42:46
        
        So you therefore agree they are one of the better teams in the division (n/m) (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Oct 6, 07:43:46
        
        Yes based on individual quality … (NCFC) - loz, Oct 6, 07:52:45
        
        2nd best GD and 2nd best goals scored with a game in hand on most teams (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Oct 6, 07:59:08
        
        They were likely going to lose at Blackburn (NCFC) - SCC 28, Oct 6, 08:29:53
        
        Feel free to take the bet if you don't think they'll finish top 6 (n/m) (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Oct 6, 08:35:23
        
        It’s not really saying much (NCFC) - SCC 28, Oct 6, 07:46:44
