        Classic burn. Roasted. You deaded him. (General Chat) - norwaay, Aug 14, 23:02:49
        
        Aw. Thanks for noticing anyway. (n/m) (General Chat) - paulg, Aug 14, 22:55:22
        
        I've read a few of your posts to provide a baseline for general stupidity. (General Chat) - Larrikin, Aug 14, 22:57:48
        
        May be you could name the scale after me? (General Chat) - paulg, Aug 14, 23:06:34
        
        I fear you are getting ideas above your lowly station. (n/m) (General Chat) - Larrikin, Aug 14, 23:23:47

Spent ages writing a post and i took to long so lost it. (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:04:15
- I do agree something doesn't look right going forward. (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Aug 14, 22:35:38
  - I think Pukki was brought in as a second striker not a 9 (that was Rhodes) but struck gold (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:45:54
- So much no. Wow that is as bad as it gets (n/m) (NCFC) - earlydoors, Aug 14, 22:15:23
  - 10/11 players that started tonight ="Wow that is as bad as it gets"? (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:33:03
- I don't think I've ever disagreed with a post more than this one... (NCFC) - mrleelee, Aug 14, 22:11:41
  - Todd at CM ... what could possibly etc? (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Aug 14, 22:14:07
    - Expand on that... (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:15:08
      - Well ... (NCFC) - paulg, Aug 14, 22:19:03
        
        Did you actually read the article? He specifically says he doesn't want to be a head coach (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:31:26
        
        But he would give no defensive cover? (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Aug 14, 22:36:15
        
        Watch the first two Liverpool goals and notice what Billy offers defensively (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:58:35
        
        In truth we need a genuine skipp replacement (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Aug 14, 23:09:09
        
        Yep. (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 23:18:09
        
        Did Gilmour? (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:49:36
        
        Not sure ... but then again, we conceded 3! (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Aug 14, 22:53:30
        
        😁 We look short of athleticism in midfield without Skipp that is apparent (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 23:01:29
        
        Huh. Weird. It kept a different message title. I'd put "did you actually read my post?" (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:32:23
  - You think Gilmour offered much more defensively in the centre than Todd would? (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:13:41
    - I can't see that line up being anything other than 4-2-4 (NCFC) - mrleelee, Aug 14, 22:35:31
    - I'm afraid he's right... your midfield wouldn't survive 5 mins (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Aug 14, 22:15:19
      - It's literally just Todd for Gilmour (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:16:12
- That's the most wide open team I've ever seen. (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Aug 14, 22:09:39
  - No, against Colchester was probably more open. (n/m) (NCFC) - Men without hats, Aug 14, 23:12:17
  - It's 1 player different to the one that played tonight... (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:12:37
- no idea what you are talking about, not a clue. (n/m) (NCFC) - Malkybarneedledick, Aug 14, 22:08:25
  - Fair. (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:13:59
- Drop Gilmour? Really? He was class today (n/m) (NCFC) - Tier2canary, Aug 14, 22:06:31
  - He was fine. Not sure he was significantly better than PLM. Gave the ball away dangerously (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:10:47
    - He was miles better than Melou. (n/m) (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Aug 14, 22:29:43
      - I wouldn't even have Melou as a starter if we could find (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Aug 14, 22:46:29
        
        Was he? I know very little about Gilmour other than the hype. (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:48:55
      - Go check out the stats... (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:42:49
Love Farke but why are his subs so late? (n/m) (NCFC) - Joe Strimmer, Aug 14, 21:58:22
- Did you see that fan near Farke going mad at not making subs (n/m) (NCFC) - ingi, Aug 14, 22:33:41
- very poor use of subs. (n/m) (NCFC) - Malkybarneedledick, Aug 14, 22:08:43
- Really not sure it was like he was trying … (NCFC) - loz, Aug 14, 22:01:53
  - It's incredibly frustrating. (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:08:13
    - The dynamics badly need to change around 60 agreed (NCFC) - ingi, Aug 14, 22:35:11
    - Yes, that's what I thought (NCFC) - paulg, Aug 14, 22:10:46
  - Oooh that explains it. Using the Liverpool game as a practice match. Great idea. (n/m) (NCFC) - Larrikin, Aug 14, 22:04:29
    - Hi there. Did you think the Burton penalty was the right decision? (n/m) (NCFC) - Tier2canary, Aug 14, 22:07:40

    - Yeah, Liverpool were there for the taking (NCFC) - paulg, Aug 14, 21:59:44
      - Liverpool were there to take points off and we couldn't get close. They strolled it.' (n/m) (NCFC) - Larrikin, Aug 14, 22:17:17
        
        Why do you bother? (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Aug 14, 22:43:20
        
        Because its a football message board where views are expressed. (NCFC) - Larrikin, Aug 14, 23:19:00
  - Ywah] (n/m) (NCFC) - Larrikin, Aug 14, 21:46:33
  - Relaxed about the season or the reaction? (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Aug 14, 21:13:01
    - Relaxed about what happened today and not determined to place it any wider context. (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Aug 14, 21:24:39
      - The wider context though is surely inclusive of our last premier league season (NCFC) - Jim, Aug 14, 21:32:51
        
        It may well have been a priority (NCFC) - paulg, Aug 14, 21:39:26
      - I'm more confident of staying up than I was before the game (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Aug 14, 21:30:45
  - Didn’t we absolutely murder Derby? (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Aug 14, 21:11:35

- I agree with you! (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Aug 14, 20:44:20
- One good ball from Todd to put Pukki away (NCFC) - jamesward, Aug 14, 20:39:57
  - Did anyone else spot Todd's red pants? I thought they all wore regulation black (n/m) (NCFC) - Bravo win or die, Aug 14, 20:41:35
Have to say Dimim was mile better than their Greek fullback (n/m) (NCFC) - Trent_Canary, Aug 14, 20:12:54
- He was good but he doesn’t mark at times (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Aug 14, 20:19:59
- Dimi was good! Dealt with Salah well a couple of times after some nervy early moments. (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 20:14:49
  - I think his passing and ball control are first rate (NCFC) - paulg, Aug 14, 20:17:23
    - I doubt he's played against this level before. (NCFC) - Men without hats, Aug 14, 20:18:07
- Their left back was bloody awful (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Aug 14, 20:14:28
