I don't want to hate on the lad but it just felt counter to our strategy

We're absolutely all about improving the squad and creating proper competition now.

Chrisene/Yongwa, Makama/Toure, Maghoma/ ABS etc.

This wasn't that.

Central midfield is an issue for me, especially if PC doesn't trust Wright to play there (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Sep 2, 10:06:47
- There is definitely some revisionist history with recent posts (NCFC) - seminated_woolly, Sep 2, 10:31:14
  - Not sure I'd go as far as no-brainer. It was relatively cheap so made sense financially (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Sep 2, 10:57:58
    - Isn’t Wright McLean’s understudy? (n/m) (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Sep 2, 11:28:11
      - Looks like PC doesnt trust him to fill in for him in games though (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Sep 2, 11:41:42
        
        But if PC continues to favour McLean over his understudy (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Sep 2, 11:50:54
        
        Isn't the point that the understudy should start to put in performances.... (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Sep 2, 13:17:15
        
        But like the Hanley / Malky situation (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Sep 2, 13:38:24
        
        Thats why the Field signing makes no sense (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Sep 2, 11:59:38

    - Quite a lot in favour on that thread, but I never got it (NCFC) - jamesward, Sep 2, 11:01:39

        If people wanted better than Kenny/Mattsson/Wright (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Sep 2, 11:26:40
        
        Last night showed that McLean and Mattson do not have viable competition. (NCFC) - norwaay, Sep 2, 12:46:17
        
        You're right, but where would you have got the money from to sign a CM? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Sep 2, 13:15:25
        
        You’ve highlighted the Sporting D / Hd Coach flaw (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Sep 2, 13:30:40
        
        Got to be a bit of both, hasn't it? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Sep 2, 13:39:35
        
        Yes, exactly (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Sep 2, 11:36:09
