You’re worried we’ll revert to the Manning era?

It has been great form tbf. Obviously very hard to sustain but we’re in a position where we don’t need to. Just not be a total disaster which looks nailed on with how we’ve been playing under Clement.

        I think people under estimate the effect Manning had (NCFC) - SCC 28, Feb 4, 12:39:27

    - You’re worried we’ll revert to the Manning era? (NCFC) - SCC 28, Feb 4, 11:55:10
      - Feb is a great chance to put serious distance between us and the relegation zone (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Feb 4, 12:03:41
        
        Nobody can argue against that (NCFC) - SCC 28, Feb 4, 12:08:31
        
        Yes, agreed - I think it is a big game, but not because I think we'll go down if we lose (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Feb 4, 12:57:24
        
        Tbf clement would definitely say it wasn’t he’s very big… (NCFC) - loz, Feb 4, 12:11:15
        
        Even let’s say we do go down (NCFC) - SCC 28, Feb 4, 12:47:51
        
        100% (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Feb 4, 12:06:41
        
        Yep absolutely this … (NCFC) - loz, Feb 4, 12:06:14
        
        This. It’s a great opportunity. (n/m) (NCFC) - APB, Feb 4, 12:04:07
      - No definitely not… (NCFC) - loz, Feb 4, 11:57:17
    - Yes, this idea that we're not still in a relegation battle is (NCFC) - jamesward, Feb 4, 11:53:53
      - Indeed (n/m) (NCFC) - Legacy Fan, Feb 4, 12:04:57
      - Take the point entirely (NCFC) - norwaay, Feb 4, 12:04:27
      - If you just looked at the table you might think that (NCFC) - SCC 28, Feb 4, 12:01:11
        
        Oxford at home? (NCFC) - jamesward, Feb 4, 12:03:49
        
        There was a helluva lot of sodden bedsheets after that game (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Feb 4, 12:34:34
        
        Details! (NCFC) - SCC 28, Feb 4, 12:42:53
        
        I saw immediate improvement in that game (NCFC) - norwaay, Feb 4, 12:07:27
        
        We should have won it yes (NCFC) - jamesward, Feb 4, 12:28:29
        
        We did seem to be addicted to late sucker punches (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Feb 4, 12:43:42
        
        I felt sickened (NCFC) - norwaay, Feb 4, 12:31:44
        
        We'd created a load of chances and their keeper had a blinder (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Feb 4, 12:48:56
        
        Certainly more than enough chances in these highlights (NCFC) - jamesward, Feb 4, 12:57:19
        
        And the state of the table (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Feb 4, 12:57:57
        
        It was only November. Plenty of games left to catch up (n/m) (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Feb 4, 13:05:35
        
        Psychologically hard to take (NCFC) - SCC 28, Feb 4, 13:09:31
        
        Yep (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Feb 4, 12:59:34
        
        That left us 7 points off safety (NCFC) - SCC 28, Feb 4, 12:52:41
        
        Yep, I was the same - totally gutted and at the time that (NCFC) - jamesward, Feb 4, 12:45:02
        
        Yep you called it (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Feb 4, 12:44:13
        
        True (NCFC) - APB, Feb 4, 12:11:47
      - Win the next two and we are basically safe … (NCFC) - loz, Feb 4, 11:58:04
        
        Should be fairly easy. Those teams are down there for a reason, (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Feb 4, 12:39:22
        
        Pretty much, and I'm confident we will end up safe (NCFC) - jamesward, Feb 4, 12:01:25
