They aren\u2019t anywhere near good enough and that\u2019s all on Ben Knapper. Only about 20 people remembered that in the away end yesterday. Do not let him off the hook, protests continue on Tuesday in game and afterwards &#8211; @CaptainCanary0\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <img   width=\"100%\"\/>The scoreboard tells the story (Image: Paul Chesterton\/Focus Images Ltd)\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  It\u2019s a squad full of absolute chaff and very little quality whatsoever &#8211; @NCFC_Adam\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  At this rate we&#8217;ll get to January and it won&#8217;t be worth spending any money, season could be over. Knapper should have gone as well, literally no one trusts him in the transfer market and he seems to have no other strategy other than sacking managers to get us out of this mess &#8211; @BangkokCanary\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Oi, Shane Duffy. You might be a better footballer than pretty much all of the people that follow you, but oh my, you won\u2019t put more effort in and have as much class as every single NCFC fan that follows you. Giving up is unforgivable &#8211; @Carra_Rud\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The players were pathetic. Every single one of them &#8211; @JMO_96\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  I don\u2019t think there\u2019s much wrong with NCFC attacking options. Stick Sarge, Kvistgaarden, Makama, Crnac etc in a Farke team and they score plenty. It\u2019s the make-up behind them. If you don\u2019t have solid foundations the rest crumbles. Defence and some sort of forward thinking CM needed &#8211; @mattjohnson333\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  What is going on with Wright? Even the Press guys have stopped asking about him. I thought NCFC team was going to be built around him. Also thought spine Darling, Wright, Sarge looked good before season started\u2026 shows what I know &#8211; @Chazza454\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  I thought Norwich looked much better today. Much better than Newton Flotman &#8211; Kevin Faiers\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  I would go Wright and Forson on Tuesday. Got to try something. Still think there\u2019s a player in Forson. Just hasn\u2019t had the run in the team but also understand he\u2019s injury prone. What a mess. Losing faith in Schwartau. Too light weight. Back four awful. Midfield show nothing. Don\u2019t get stuck in and can\u2019t create &#8211; &#8211; @davidplatten3\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Duffy is a big earning, senior pro. Fans are right to dig him out as he should be a leader to others. However, you can&#8217;t just call him out, the midfield are off the pace, allowing teams to stroll through us, then the entire defence are all over the place. Team failure &#8211; @AndyR543\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  That one is purely on the players. It&#8217;s pretty evident from that, that we need an entirely new back four in January \u2013 Greg Fairweather\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  It\u2019s the players not the manager. Saw them training on TV during the week. They were exhausted laying on the field with their water bottles. New manager was sorting them out &#8211; Eileen Capps\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Wonder what the American and his data team think of that &#8211; Jon Malkin\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  We just need to get rid of Knapper. This squad cannot cope and play at this level right now. I can\u2019t let that man be in charge of the signings we do in January &#8211; if he does we are in a serious relegation battle &#8211; @ashtonbrownie22\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  You\u2019re taking us for mugs. Sack the board. Terminate Duffy\u2019s contract- @kingdomzebedee\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  We are going down if we don&#8217;t beat Oxford on Tuesday night. Cannot believe I am actually saying that &#8211; @TomIves356257\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Two out of our next four games are against direct relegation rivals. I think if we lose them we\u2019re down &#8211; @Camerondownes9\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Does anyone think that Kovacevic should be on the bench for the next game? &#8211; @matt1cork\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Long way to go yet. Six points this week might put a different complexion on things &#8211; Gary Wiseman\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  I know it\u2019s nearly Christmas but anyone who was expecting a miracle needs to pinch themselves &#8211; Kevin Castle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A chance to show the new manager what you are all about &#8211; I&#8217;d be embarrassed to look&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":589708,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7820],"tags":[855,748,393,4884,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-589707","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-birmingham","8":"tag-birmingham","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115601764885281793","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/589707","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=589707"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/589707\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/589708"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=589707"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=589707"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=589707"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
