I wouldn’t underestimate the self interest

They’ll want to be playing, to play they’ll need to impress smith, they’ll be working hard this week.

I can’t imagine any player wants to be part of a losing team, I think the challenge comes further down the line if our results don’t improve and they preferred farke

        YES! (n/m) (NCFC) - Adster, Nov 15, 12:57:24
        
        Perhaps Farke has contributed to his own downfall by unreasonably snubbing players (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 15, 12:27:35
        
        while I agree he freezes players out (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Nov 15, 12:50:49
        
        I'm not automatically assuming anything (NCFC) - jampersands, Nov 15, 12:34:33
        
        I didn't say you were, but there seems to be an assumption by some that Todd being (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 15, 12:41:27
        
        I think everyone's just saying - we don't know (NCFC) - jampersands, Nov 15, 12:45:32
        
        Exactly this. (n/m) (NCFC) - megson, Nov 15, 13:01:48
        
        Its a cliche, but football really is results based (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 15, 12:16:48
        
        Yep agree with that. Any reason that might have existed exits with Farke (NCFC) - megson, Nov 15, 12:18:15
        
        Its an easy early win for him to bring Todd back in. And Gilmour. (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 15, 12:28:58
        
        Devil's Advocate. We've just won a game. Without Cantwell. (NCFC) - mr carra, Nov 15, 13:24:31
        
        The only thing I'd say about the Brentford game and team selection (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 15, 13:26:26
        
        I think think they should be competing for the same position (NCFC) - mr carra, Nov 15, 13:30:45
        
        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
- Gilmour will be fascinating (NCFC) - Duck, Nov 15, 11:33:45
  - 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
