        Yes, right wing (NCFC) - norway, Dec 27, 13:28:08
- The problem isn't team selection or formation its the approach (NCFC) - Ben, Dec 27, 13:15:57
  - THAT, and isn't it handy that Hoops can score goals pretty much unassisted (NCFC) - Sugbad The Bad, Dec 27, 13:23:16
- that's basically the team that finished against Fulham (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Dec 27, 12:50:50

      - Redmond will do well, cutting inside and blazing away (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 27, 13:00:04
        
        I thought yesterday in the first half he put in more first time crosses than usual (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Dec 27, 13:01:48
        
        yep he failed to find a norwich player in 10 crosses. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 27, 13:02:44
        
        yeah, I guess that shows that Hooper needs a rest (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Dec 27, 13:04:17
        
        Did you watch the game, clearly not. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 27, 13:04:47

  - Point is, we have players that can play in different positions (NCFC) - hoolahan, Dec 27, 12:49:27
    - agreed (n/m) (NCFC) - strap_on sally, Dec 27, 12:56:28
I think we should rest our in form striker for the visit of Man United (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 27, 12:35:45
- Just my opinion mate... (NCFC) - loz, Dec 27, 12:41:35

    - What's the point of having a squad if we don't use it... (NCFC) - loz, Dec 27, 12:47:51
      - Hooper doesn't look knackered to me. He looks raring to go. (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 27, 12:51:41
        
        Let's keep him that way... (NCFC) - loz, Dec 27, 12:53:46
        
        he can have a rest for the cup game (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, Dec 27, 13:01:14
        
        joke innit. Drop our in form striker... (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 27, 13:03:41
        
        Resting for a more important game ... (NCFC) - loz, Dec 27, 13:07:05
        
        I don't see Suarez taking a rest. Hooper looked as fit in the last minute as the first. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 27, 13:08:23
        
        Jeez it's no big deal managers call... (NCFC) - loz, Dec 27, 13:13:06

- no (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Dec 27, 14:58:47
- I imagine he would do ok if we were desperate, he seems quite versatile (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 27, 12:37:00
  - With everyone fit, I'd play him in Elmander's role for a game, see how he does (n/m) (NCFC) - Sugbad The Bad, Dec 27, 12:39:08
    - We tried that beginning of last season... (NCFC) - loz, Dec 27, 12:43:11
      - I'm not sure we did. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 27, 12:47:28
        
        We definitely did and in a few friendlies too.. (NCFC) - loz, Dec 27, 12:49:23
        
        erm... no, having looked at a few lineups. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 27, 13:01:28

        I can't remember mate... (NCFC) - loz, Dec 27, 12:55:19
        
        OK, maybe he did, tho I don't recall. But if he did play there, it'd have been with Holt (NCFC) - Sugbad The Bad, Dec 27, 13:00:49
        
        No harm trying him certainly more of a goal threat ... (NCFC) - loz, Dec 27, 13:02:34
- A bad one perhaps (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Dec 27, 12:22:22

    - Can't think of anyone in the bottom half who's good to watch (NCFC) - duke of york, Dec 27, 11:55:04
    - A little bit more creativity going forward would be nice on my pie-munching eye though.. (NCFC) - wayne, Dec 27, 11:54:14
      - that's easy to say but difficult to achieve (NCFC) - mr carra, Dec 27, 11:58:15
- Redmond does well at cutting inside and shooting (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 27, 11:35:28
  - the wrong foot other wing plan is daft. (NCFC) - bobble, Dec 27, 13:23:02
I am nowhere near an outer but what has really annoyed me with CH is (NCFC) - BINMEN8R, Dec 27, 10:48:15

      - he plays further forward than Wes (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 27, 12:38:33
        
        because he's not as mobile, we've sacrifriced inventiveness, and mbility (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Dec 27, 12:45:47
    - Agreed (n/m) (NCFC) - BINMEN8R, Dec 27, 11:57:48

    - It's not though is it I mean... (NCFC) - loz, Dec 27, 09:29:48
      - We were overrun because Fer had a bad game and BJ isn't very good these days. And we (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Dec 27, 10:46:22
      - Well if we were overrun in midfield, WHY DIDN"T HUGHTON CHANGE IT? (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 27, 09:55:34
        
        I will answer that... (NCFC) - loz, Dec 27, 09:57:42
        
        Well then he is a weak manager and should be fired. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 27, 09:58:11
        
        Taking off Elmander for Wes is not negative (NCFC) - norway, Dec 27, 10:02:01
        
        Still an attacking midfielder for a striker... (NCFC) - loz, Dec 27, 10:09:05
        
        Not working is not working. who cares what the fans think. (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 27, 10:12:04

        Again point taken but.... (NCFC) - loz, Dec 27, 10:07:06
        
        Point taken about injuries. But Wes fit and available on the bench. (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 27, 10:11:03

- He left us... the reason he gets mentioned is because Hughton made us so defeatist. (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 26, 23:00:39
  - Do you think we'd be doing any better if he was still our manager? (NCFC) - lurd, Dec 26, 23:06:33

    - did put in one triffic cross first half. right through 6 yard box and no one took a chance (n/m) (NCFC) - wolfio, Dec 26, 23:21:29

        Sure they would. but how does that make us 'safe', or 'decent' exactly? (NCFC) - norway, Dec 26, 19:44:15
        
        in one games time, they could have our points tally. (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 26, 19:23:36
        
        And the same for about 3-4 teams above us (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Dec 26, 19:31:03

      - Wes in the middle, no, but on the wing coming in yes (NCFC) - Kar1, Dec 26, 17:47:30
        
        He's played most of his games for us in the middle (NCFC) - duke of york, Dec 26, 17:50:21
        
        I'm yhinking he may be a bit on the light side, seems to get knocked off the ball easily? (n/m) (NCFC) - Kar1, Dec 26, 17:56:20
        
        Yes he does get knocked off the ball sometimes. (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 26, 18:03:36

  - I was thinking that far too many players played below their usual standard (n/m) (NCFC) - Kar1, Dec 26, 17:44:21
    - Know what you mean but ultimately his responsibility (n/m) (NCFC) - Only1Doherty, Dec 26, 17:44:54
