And only ever when we start losing. any manager can do that. A robot could.

        ^^^Now regrets this comment^^^ (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 7, 18:18:13
        
        Your point is, Hoot's negative tactics may be getting the best points we can manage (NCFC) - phrankin, May 7, 13:59:59
        
        isn't adding more strikers a general managerial recation to being behind? (NCFC) - mr carra, May 7, 14:06:30
        
        yes exactly. That is the only in-game tactical change I have seen from Hoot all season (NCFC) - phrankin, May 7, 14:07:51
        
        Incredible isn't it? (NCFC) - duke of york, May 7, 13:32:05
        
        Loads, yes, one or two today if you can be bothered to look (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, May 7, 13:30:32
        
        Good balanced post. I admire your patience! (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, May 7, 13:25:08
        
        I am sorry, but that home game to Newcastle where we settled for a point (NCFC) - phrankin, May 7, 13:22:11
        
        did we settle for a point? (NCFC) - mr carra, May 7, 13:32:30
        
        If you cannot see Hoot's negative approach both in initial tactics (NCFC) - phrankin, May 7, 13:57:34
        
        I have stated quite clearly that I think our tactics are defensive (NCFC) - mr carra, May 7, 14:03:33
      - mutterings and concerns about crap tactics, poor subs started as far back as QPR at home. (NCFC) - phrankin, May 7, 12:52:13
        
        so what? (NCFC) - mr carra, May 7, 12:56:25
        
        Worse than the negative tactics and outlook. Is the play for a draw attitude. (NCFC) - phrankin, May 7, 13:00:09
        
        West ham was even more of a shocker (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 7, 12:53:58
      - Totally, what ^^^ he says. (NCFC) - Mozzer, May 7, 12:48:37
        
        And that's why we'll go down (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 7, 12:49:42
        
        I haven't seen us give up (NCFC) - mr carra, May 7, 12:53:40
        
        we don't score.... We looked ok against a Villa side with a dreadful defence (NCFC) - phrankin, May 7, 12:55:48
        
        because our attacking players are to be honest poor by Prem standards (NCFC) - mr carra, May 7, 12:58:02
        
        They did fine last season. Hoot plays a defensive game (NCFC) - phrankin, May 7, 13:06:05
        
        history is littered with players who have had one exceptional Prem season (NCFC) - mr carra, May 7, 13:09:57
        
        Holt has had far far less shots on goal this season to last (NCFC) - phrankin, May 7, 13:12:39
        
        The effort is there (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 7, 12:54:53
        
        why? because I have (NCFC) - Mozzer, May 7, 12:51:19
        
        No because you've settled for mediocrity (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 7, 12:53:25
        
        I have no settled for mediocrity - haven't (NCFC) - Mozzer, May 7, 13:39:16
        
        no-one has settled for mediocrity (NCFC) - mr carra, May 7, 13:06:26
        
        Progress? Better players, less possession worse passing (NCFC) - phrankin, May 7, 13:10:15
        
        funny the people whingeing about not going back to the unbeaten run team (NCFC) - mr carra, May 7, 13:27:40
        
        He could have played the unbeaton run side. He chose not to. (NCFC) - phrankin, May 7, 14:11:47
        
        how many times has he had the chance to? (NCFC) - mr carra, May 7, 14:15:23
        
        Aside from Ruddy, plenty. In fact Whittaker was an integral part of that side (NCFC) - phrankin, May 7, 14:34:17
        
        I am a bit surprised Whittaker hasn't been back earlier (he started at arsenal) (NCFC) - mr carra, May 7, 14:54:06
        
        I have, I always do - it's much less hard work (n/m) (NCFC) - CB41, May 7, 13:10:07
      - Excuses (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 7, 12:47:52
      - Quite a few of us have given failry detailed arguments (NCFC) - duke of york, May 7, 12:47:03
        
        recently i have seen posts blaming our relegation on referees... embarrassing (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, May 7, 12:53:10
        
        I haven't seen anyone blaming our possible relegation entirely on referees (NCFC) - mr carra, May 7, 13:57:21
        
        There is a whole thread on the pinkun about it started by Chicken (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, May 7, 14:00:35
        
        Oh, I don't go on there. (NCFC) - mr carra, May 7, 14:13:10
