Tbf that poor first season looks less so in retrospect...

because it is clear looking back how he was building the blocks for last season, introducing the new style and discovering which players could and couldn't play it. It was a very necessary stage to enable what actually happened last season.

    - if that's the plan then it sounds ludicrously complacent (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jul 15, 09:31:18
      - you are assuming that they will play (NCFC) - ghostof barry butler, Jul 15, 10:03:43
        
        not assuming anything, I just think it would be stupid (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jul 15, 10:06:11
        
        I think getting the right mix between freshening it up and changing it too much... (NCFC) - mr carra, Jul 15, 10:35:26
      - vmt (NCFC) - CWC, Jul 15, 09:59:19
      - Maybe it was because previous times we retained too many of the players? (NCFC) - mr carra, Jul 15, 09:50:57
        
        I think the main reason was that we retained the manager who took us down for too long (n/m) (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jul 15, 09:51:44
        
        That's the laziest and most complacent view of all (NCFC) - mr carra, Jul 15, 10:30:44
        
        well, you've hit the nail on the head (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jul 15, 10:34:09
        
        Is it that the players lose faith in the manager or vice versa? (NCFC) - mr carra, Jul 15, 10:39:24
        
        I imagine both, but it's like you said (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jul 15, 10:49:16
        
        yeah this (NCFC) - CWC, Jul 15, 10:06:57
        
        yeah, it's such a tough one with Farke (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jul 15, 10:15:56
        
        Tbf that poor first season looks less so in retrospect... (NCFC) - mr carra, Jul 15, 10:32:54
        
        perhaps it was, perhaps it wasn't (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jul 15, 10:36:40
        
        But even when we were doing badly at the start of the second season.. (NCFC) - mr carra, Jul 15, 10:40:58
        
        that's true, I'm genuinely not sure whether it (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jul 15, 10:44:08
        
        Like that West Brom game (NCFC) - jamesward, Jul 15, 10:43:29
        
        We were actually outplaying Leeds until we chucked in two goals in about two minutes (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, Jul 15, 10:44:22
        
        True, then we lost belief (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Jul 15, 11:22:14
        
        And part of his role has been to develop youth... (NCFC) - loz, Jul 15, 10:36:31
        
        Alex Neil was also excellent before (NCFC) - jamesward, Jul 15, 10:11:38
        
        First few games so important (NCFC) - Tombs, Jul 15, 10:21:01
        
        And it will be harder than ever (NCFC) - BungysPie, Jul 15, 11:10:34
        
        Has a team that's been relegated *this* badly ever come straight back up? (NCFC) - jamesward, Jul 15, 10:42:14
        
        New season is so close as well, going to take a huge turnaround (NCFC) - Tombs, Jul 15, 10:53:54
        
        I'm hoping they've just thrown in the towel and mentally switched to FIFA/new clubs (NCFC) - CWC, Jul 15, 11:09:39
      - Two of them may stay Leitner definitely won’t (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Jul 15, 09:39:40
    - First things first,build a squad that will get us up,if we can improve (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Jul 15, 09:30:34
      - vmt - every single time we go down (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jul 15, 09:33:29
        
        Literally nobody thinks we will walk that league it’s a nightmare (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Jul 15, 09:44:54
        
        seems a bit risky then to build a relegation into a five year plan (n/m) (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jul 15, 09:51:07
        
        And seems massively unrealistic to not build a relegation into a 5 year plan (n/m) (NCFC) - Duck, Jul 15, 10:12:18
        
        It would be unrealistic, but I think there is a difference between building it (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jul 15, 10:19:53
        
        Sure there were different versions of the plan depending on whether we stayed up or not (NCFC) - mr carra, Jul 15, 10:43:33
        
        Sure you’d do better than Webber you seem to know it all (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Jul 15, 10:22:42
        
        not sure why you are being so sensitive to any criticism of 'the plan' (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jul 15, 10:24:29
        
        Isn’t that precisely what Webber is doing .... (NCFC) - loz, Jul 15, 10:30:33
