Playing Kenny at CB was the only way Wagner could get Nunez in the team

And that combo of having both of them playing made us a lot better.

This years injury hit team vs last years injury hit team… (NCFC) - loz, Nov 11, 09:43:07
- Well. There are only two players who started both games. Coincidence? (n/m) (NCFC) - Legacy Fan, Nov 11, 12:57:48
- Clearly last year's (NCFC) - mr carra, Nov 11, 10:41:16
  - Yes, we'll be rubbish-to-indifferent through Xmas I think (NCFC) - Old Man, Nov 11, 10:42:54
- Kenny was at centre-back wasn't he? (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Nov 11, 09:54:32
  - Think playing Kenny at Cb helped to arrest the decline … (NCFC) - loz, Nov 11, 10:03:27
    - McLean was not at CB until mid-Dec (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Nov 11, 12:41:49
      - Expectations were higher last season (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 11, 12:56:39
        
        Both points have some merit. But we are clearly in a honeymoon period (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Nov 11, 13:27:28
        
        Only time will tell whether it's a honeymoon period or not (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 11, 13:36:46
        
        No. We are clearly in a honeymoon period, both for Knapper & the coaching staff (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Nov 11, 13:56:23
        
        We have different definitions of honeymoon periods, then (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 11, 13:59:58
        
        So you think that Wagner & JHT are being equally judged? (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Nov 11, 14:27:41
        
        Yes, I agree that they are (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 11, 14:49:06
        
        Agreed. (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Nov 11, 15:04:02
        
        Yes, it was bad. Really whipping up the negativity (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 11, 15:20:27
        
        Yes, and Webber was toxic, let's not forget that (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 11, 16:00:02
        
        And even that had similar origins (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Nov 11, 16:14:15
    - Playing Kenny at CB was the only way Wagner could get Nunez in the team (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 11, 10:52:40
    - Sarge didn't play until Jan and still wasn't fit enough to play a full match (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Nov 11, 10:23:13
      - So played an integral part in unbeaten run then glad we agree (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Nov 11, 11:11:01
- Last seasons comfortably (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Nov 11, 09:54:27
  - Was the squad Farke had that bad? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 11, 11:03:07
    - We didn't have a decent striker (NCFC) - Dracula, Nov 11, 12:49:37
      - Oliveira & Jerome were decent strikers per se, but... (NCFC) - mr carra, Nov 11, 12:58:20
        
        Totally forgot we still had Jerome still (NCFC) - Dracula, Nov 11, 13:48:36
    - True it probably wasn't as bad as current one but it underperformed massively (n/m) (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Nov 11, 11:45:55
    - No but then in Farke's first year we were still receiving parachute payments (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, Nov 11, 11:37:06
      - Indeed - just rebutting the suggestion that Farke operated on as meagre rations as this (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 11, 11:44:22
  - Calling Hwang a recognised striker is a bit of a stretch (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Nov 11, 09:58:36
    - Not now anyway (n/m) (NCFC) - Lentil Weaver, Nov 11, 10:56:37
    - TBF 70% of that fee is based on his video collection (n/m) (NCFC) - inutero, Nov 11, 10:00:05
      - Tbf he scored a few (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Nov 11, 10:01:01
        
        He scored 3 (n/m) (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Nov 11, 10:03:23
        
        IIRC he was just starting to show some glimpses and it ended (NCFC) - Old Man, Nov 11, 10:24:29
        
        A few then (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 11, 10:20:54
        
        Very few (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Nov 11, 10:24:50
        
        More than anyone bar Sargent and sainz this year then ? (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Nov 11, 10:05:03
        
        No-one else has played 17 games yet (n/m) (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Nov 11, 10:09:40
        
        True fair few of those must have been sub appearances … (NCFC) - loz, Nov 11, 10:11:18
        
        Certainly a better striker than Marcondes !!! (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Nov 11, 10:05:56
        
        Crnac was signed as someone that can play number 9 (NCFC) - maidstoneyellow, Nov 11, 10:50:54
        
        Schwartau also played that position on occasion for Brondby (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 11, 10:55:59
        
        Shocking that the current regime allowed us to be in the position (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Nov 11, 10:16:18
        
        Please see post about Crnac (n/m) (NCFC) - maidstoneyellow, Nov 11, 10:51:17
        
        Markedly smaller budget this season minus parachutes I guess (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Nov 11, 10:19:18
        
        Or just shit sporting g director?? (NCFC) - ParrotPuncher, Nov 11, 10:41:24
        
        Webber was certainly disrespected by many (not me) (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Nov 11, 11:03:48
