        Yeah, agree with your Scotland comments (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 15, 13:45:43
        
        The trouble is, apart from Normann, we don't have any Prem quality DCMs (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, Nov 15, 13:50:14
        
        Hard to believe we played four games at the start of the season without any at all (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 15, 14:03:03
        
        at least it worked out well (n/m) (NCFC) - jampersands, Nov 15, 14:17:30
        
        Yeah. Watching the games it was easy to believe we didn't have any. (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, Nov 15, 14:20:55
        
        * still think * (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, Nov 15, 13:31:04
- Billy Gilmour (NCFC) - Pompatus of Creosote, Nov 15, 11:43:28

  - part of me wants him to keep getting splinters (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Nov 15, 11:38:52
    - I am more concerned / interested in Todd's situation tbh (NCFC) - munter, Nov 15, 11:44:00
      - We still just don’t why, do we (NCFC) - jampersands, Nov 15, 11:54:55
        
        Players will be the key, look at the reactions of players like Max to Farke being sacked. (NCFC) - megson, Nov 15, 12:10:49
        
        Aren't Max and Todd best buddies? (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 15, 12:15:14
        
        I wouldn’t underestimate the self interest (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 15, 12:14:30
        
        Yeah I think you're probably right there, they have to start winning (n/m) (NCFC) - megson, Nov 15, 12:16:04
        
        Exactly. I hope the situation resolves soon. Suspect Smith will deal with it pronto (n/m) (NCFC) - munter, Nov 15, 12:09:15
        
        It’s a clean slate (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 15, 12:10:35
        
        What if that pisses 4 or 5 others off though? (NCFC) - megson, Nov 15, 12:12:26
        
        Why would it piss anyone off? (NCFC) - CWC, Nov 15, 12:14:41
        
        Nope, just asking a 'what if' based on what might be the case. (n/m) (NCFC) - megson, Nov 15, 12:17:22
- Smith is fond of a double pivot...so maybe Sorensen will play? (n/m) (NCFC) - BINMEN8R, Nov 15, 11:12:17
  - I wonder if we’ll go for 4-3-3 or 5-3-2? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 15, 11:47:21
4 of our next 6 games are at home. Great opportunity for a new manager bounce (n/m) (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Nov 15, 10:45:15

  - 9 (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 15, 11:01:32
  - 5 points would be a 4 games unbeaten streak. Unheard of for us in the (modern) Prem? (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Nov 15, 10:58:50
    - 2 wins and a defeat would give us '5 points or more' (n/m) (NCFC) - jampersands, Nov 15, 11:58:24
    - We went 10 unbeaten under Hughton (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 15, 11:02:19
      - Jesus, did we?! (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Nov 15, 12:14:09
      - Longest unbeaten run in Europe at the time I believe (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 15, 11:04:27
        
        Didn’t we also have a decent cup run too? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 15, 11:12:03
        
        the run was 10 League unbeaten (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Nov 15, 11:48:03
        
        I know - it was my stat 😂 (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 15, 12:39:39
        
        It looks like the national media knew 'your stat' years ago (NCFC) - Steven_P_Morrissey, Nov 15, 15:42:50
        
        sorry I expanded on "your stat" (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Nov 15, 13:05:48

Legally - and allowing for the fact we'd need to return one - could Emi come back on loan? (NCFC) - camcan, Nov 15, 10:31:03
- Wouldn't want him back. He wanted shot of Norwich and refused to play another game for us. (n/m) (NCFC) - Trent_Canary, Nov 15, 10:40:44
  - Utter nonsense (NCFC) - Munich93, Nov 15, 11:21:17
    - Except he did refuse to play again for us (according to SW) (NCFC) - seminated_woolly, Nov 15, 14:06:25

- I felt the same with Lambert, I really lived that team was at a time I had an ST (NCFC) - megson, Nov 15, 11:25:33
- Are you going to look over your glasses at him ? (n/m) (NCFC) - colincanary, Nov 15, 09:48:59

    - The difference for me is that when lambert left.... (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 15, 10:48:00

      - I disagree (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 15, 10:14:11
        
        It was purely on the emotional side rather than performance I was thinking of (NCFC) - Azteca, Nov 15, 10:16:47
        
        💛💚 Me too (n/m) (NCFC) - Bravo win or die, Nov 15, 10:24:02
    - I feel that this is Hughton post-Lambert, too (NCFC) - camcan, Nov 15, 09:58:11
      - farke was so much part of the club and fans - hard to move on from him leaving (NCFC) - pinkney, Nov 15, 10:09:39

        Farke was a once in a lifetime pretty much (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 15, 10:24:29
        
        Lambert was a pretty horrible person though (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 15, 10:18:27
        
        Haha very true (NCFC) - camcan, Nov 15, 10:29:49
    - Lambert 3 points more but yeah 1 place lower still felt much better (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 15, 09:57:42
      - Thank you - that's what I meant :) (n/m) (NCFC) - Bravo win or die, Nov 15, 10:07:21
