I think we had a very clearly underperforming squad

I’m not so sure we do now - certainly not to the same degree

  - I think there is value in a mid-season appointment (NCFC) - jamesward, Dec 30, 10:13:13
    - But that is partly the issue. It is much easier to prize someone away in the summer (n/m) (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Dec 30, 10:18:22
      - Depends where they currently work (NCFC) - jamesward, Dec 30, 10:23:26

    - We have a top 6 first team but not a top 6 squad. (n/m) (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Dec 30, 10:10:13
    - Where is the evidence that we have a top 6 squad? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 30, 10:06:42
      - We have been utterly dreadful and playing the wrong formation most of the season (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 30, 10:12:18
        
        Possible, but far from certain (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 30, 10:30:24
    - We've sacked managers mid season for the last two years. (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Dec 30, 10:04:45
      - Alex Neil was midseason. then got us promoted (n/m) (NCFC) - pab, Dec 30, 10:21:29

        One swallow does not a summer make (n/m) (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Dec 30, 10:24:25
        
        Steve Cooper, Carrick (NCFC) - jamesward, Dec 30, 10:45:03
        
        Haha. Touché (n/m) (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Dec 30, 10:47:01
      - Because we chose bad replacements (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 30, 10:12:48
      - We keep picking up dinosaurs rather than … (NCFC) - loz, Dec 30, 10:08:00
        
        It’s very easy to type on WOTB (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 30, 10:28:48
        
        I agree, which is why the next appointment needs to be right and not knee jerk (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Dec 30, 10:09:40
        
        Yep, my thoughts exactly (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 30, 10:13:11
  - "Retard" rather than "imbecile" for Jim! 😀 (n/m) (NCFC) - JD3, Dec 30, 10:02:15
    - It seems to vary between the two 😂😂 (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 30, 10:03:20
      - I’m sorry I will try not to but I just find it so frustrating (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 30, 10:10:53
        
        Yes, fair enough. I must say, last night’s selection seemed bizarre (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 30, 10:37:37
  - I think you have a point (NCFC) - norwaay, Dec 30, 09:59:25
    - Yes, that’s what I think (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 30, 10:01:24
      - Andy Hooves (NCFC) - jamesward, Dec 30, 10:13:58
      - Spanish chap couldn’t be any worse surely ? (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Dec 30, 10:04:39
        
        He probably could. But yes, he might be ok (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 30, 10:08:13
        
        There's nothing to hint that he would be any better (n/m) (NCFC) - Winged Eel Creosote, Dec 30, 10:08:03
- Pretty much spot on (n/m) (NCFC) - DH Yellow, Dec 30, 09:45:46
- Imagine if Pukki or Emi were dropped after one quiet game (NCFC) - jamesward, Dec 30, 09:45:27
  - Its sounds weird but *apart from the goals* Rowe has been poor for several games (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Dec 30, 10:06:17
    - I’d understand it if we had other options capable of scoring (NCFC) - jamesward, Dec 30, 10:16:03
      - Like I say, I think it is a fitness issue they are managing that they want to keep hush (n/m) (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Dec 30, 10:25:26
        
        I'm inclined to agree. Young player, (NCFC) - Azteca, Dec 30, 11:26:35
        
        Exactly this (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Dec 30, 11:51:48
  - Fasnacht is really great though (NCFC) - lurd, Dec 30, 09:47:01
- It’s a good article 👏 (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Dec 30, 09:39:30
- Rowe was dropped but onel and Barnes keep playing 🤔 (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Dec 30, 09:37:29
