Isn't the point that we had a settled looking team which was performing its socks off

Roeder had done miracles, everything looked rosy. Some uber-optimists were even talking of the play-offs.

Then we get in load of loan players from Prem reserves, play them (whether because we had to under the terms of the loans or not, we play them), and suddenly go back to being s**t.

I have to say that it has made my faith in GR wobble a bit

        cos Roeder's a BASTARD (NCFC) - pants, Jun 12, 14:51:48
        
        precisely, meaning we were exposed down the left far too easily (n/m) (NCFC) - Tony Martin, Jun 12, 13:35:48
        
        when the successful formation Roeder had created (NCFC) - phrankin, Jun 12, 13:38:51

        That is true (NCFC) - Old Git, Jun 12, 13:26:53

        Oh f*ck off! You really are showing up the fact you don't watch us here (NCFC) - Jim, Jun 12, 13:49:03
