The other issue is he's our only attacking threat

so very easy for other teams to mark out of the game.

Last season, we had sainz or dobbin and defenders had to actually worry about them, giving sarge a bit more space.

- 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

- 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

  - 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
