        I was looking for a reverse sweep for 2. Maybe next week. (n/m) (NCFC) - munter, Nov 17, 15:45:58
        
        Frankly I’d accept a streaky edge through the covers (NCFC) - APB, Nov 17, 15:48:59
So, VER didn't turn into HAM then (Other Sports) - NxNW, Nov 16, 13:46:54
- Merc have appealed to have it reviewed again (Other Sports) - jamesward, Nov 16, 15:54:09
  - I guess they're hoping for a 5 second penalty (Other Sports) - SimonOTBC, Nov 16, 16:46:10
    - Yes, I doubt it will happen, though it's obvious he pushed him wide (n/m) (Other Sports) - jamesward, Nov 16, 16:49:30
  - Interesting... (n/m) (Other Sports) - NxNW, Nov 16, 15:57:11
- lol (Other Sports) - SimonOTBC, Nov 16, 13:52:12
  - I like to see racing so I'm not keen on penalties for the sake of it, so wasn't too (Other Sports) - megson, Nov 16, 14:36:29
    - A time penalty isn't exciting for the audience (Other Sports) - Ben, Nov 16, 16:19:16
      - Yep, and so did we to be fair, a 5 secs would have meant Ham had no need to pass (n/m) (Other Sports) - megson, Nov 16, 16:34:42
        
        Yes, kept the race exciting (Other Sports) - jamesward, Nov 16, 17:00:28
    - I see both sides, but it's the lack of consistency that's the issue for me (Other Sports) - NxNW, Nov 16, 15:03:29
      - Same here, and it shouldn't be decided by whether they crash our or not (Other Sports) - megson, Nov 16, 16:35:46
      - Yeah this (Other Sports) - CWC, Nov 16, 16:10:17
    - I'm keen on seeing them race too (Other Sports) - SimonOTBC, Nov 16, 14:43:26
fringe players & Smith (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Nov 15, 11:07:05
- Pretty sure Gilmour will still be on the bench, Todd will be more interesting (NCFC) - Kangol Canary, Nov 15, 12:05:45
  - Why would smith have a harsh word with Todd? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 15, 12:10:01
    - PLM, Normann, Gilmour (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 15, 12:14:34
      - Yes, fair enough (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 15, 12:14:54
    - smith will maybe talk to a few senior people at the club (NCFC) - jampersands, Nov 15, 12:13:00
      - Possibly, I think he’ll be back (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 15, 12:15:44
      - Eitehr way it needs resolving, so Simon probably right. Smith can say its a clean slate (NCFC) - megson, Nov 15, 12:15:11
        
        ALARM! ALARM! MASSIVE EXPLOSION SOUND! BANG! BANG! THE MIGHTY FALL. BANG! BANG! WHEN LOVE (NCFC) - tehwatch, Nov 15, 12:51:57
        
        Nice to see you (n/m) (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Nov 15, 14:06:01
        
        Seven goons (n/m) (NCFC) - APB, Nov 15, 13:01:45
        
        Good to have you back! (n/m) (NCFC) - megson, Nov 15, 13:01:01
        
        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

  - 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
Legally - and allowing for the fact we'd need to return one - could Emi come back on loan? (NCFC) - camcan, Nov 15, 10:31:03
- Wouldn't want him back. He wanted shot of Norwich and refused to play another game for us. (n/m) (NCFC) - Trent_Canary, Nov 15, 10:40:44
  - Utter nonsense (NCFC) - Munich93, Nov 15, 11:21:17
    - Except he did refuse to play again for us (according to SW) (NCFC) - seminated_woolly, Nov 15, 14:06:25
  - He owes us nothing. Three brilliant seasons, loads of goals, what more do you want? (NCFC) - APB, Nov 15, 10:54:30
    - ✅ (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 15, 11:03:12
  - For all we know… (NCFC) - CWC, Nov 15, 10:46:21
    - Not sure he'd have played under Farke for 3 seasons if he had a big issue with him (NCFC) - megson, Nov 15, 11:19:41
      - Things change (NCFC) - CWC, Nov 15, 12:07:49

  - stiepi what a player! (n/m) (NCFC) - pinkney, Nov 15, 10:38:09

      - Still think Onel looked decent in the Prem to start with (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 15, 10:44:07
        
        He did (n/m) (NCFC) - APB, Nov 15, 10:45:58
- "one of"... In a league of its own isn't it? (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Nov 15, 10:27:51
  - Pukki redeems it pretty well (NCFC) - APB, Nov 15, 10:44:35

- How does villa fans not being happy with smith sacking (NCFC) - IG88, Nov 15, 17:40:15
- You might have something there, Gerrard is a gamble. (n/m) (NCFC) - megson, Nov 15, 10:43:18
- Actually, that's an interesting point. I think I'd pick Smith over Stevie G any day (NCFC) - Bravo win or die, Nov 15, 10:23:13
  - & SG has it all to prove as far as I'm concerned (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 15, 10:27:44
  - exactly - the shuffle has (maybe ...) not worked in AV's favour (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 15, 10:25:52
- There’s certainly a possibility of Gerrard not succeeding at Villa. (NCFC) - DH Yellow, Nov 15, 10:22:21
Sigh! I'd had this fantasy/dream that post covid I could follow the team on one of their (NCFC) - Bravo win or die, Nov 15, 09:46:11
- I felt the same with Lambert, I really lived that team was at a time I had an ST (NCFC) - megson, Nov 15, 11:25:33
- Are you going to look over your glasses at him ? (n/m) (NCFC) - colincanary, Nov 15, 09:48:59

      - I disagree (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 15, 10:14:11

        Farke was a once in a lifetime pretty much (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 15, 10:24:29
