Good thing for him they didn’t get all 3 points tonight!

I think Carrow Road would cheer a tonsure.

Imagine if they’d picked a different game, though

1980’s video games would be my answer to the 2nd.

I had exactly the same thought. TBF at least Dean Smith’s Champ team had a lot of experienced players, but our squad this season is incredibly young. Just not all that sensible to say to a bunch of 20 year olds & guys who’ve never played together before, “You figure it out.”

If you haven’t seen it yet, think you might enjoy Valley Girl, Andrew. A sweet film from early in his career where he plays an LA punk (!) who falls for a middle-class girl from the suburbs.

I’m fond of Peggy Sue Got Married, too.

Maybe LM meant not much would’ve changed if they’d only sacked him and not bothered replacing him? #ncfc

He’s been playing like Tom Trybull at Elland Road #ncfc

Evidently, the little girls do NOT understand.

Is sole AI company doing g a marketing campaign with that “Hamnet” movie?

Plus Gibbs and Schlupp off the bench

I have no idea why all the internal HoF committees keep refusing to enshrine Lou Whitaker. It’s absolutely ridiculous.

No one is happy about being 23rd right now, but we’re 6 points from safety with 27 matches left. We could draw at home against Blackburn/Derby and still finish 15th or something. Obviously the players need a sense of urgency, & to his credit I think PC has got them playing hard and confidently.

IIRC Ruland was kinda Sabonish.

Leeds fans are at least as bad as us 😅

I haven’t watched them playing this 3-5-2, but I do remember DF using 3 CB’s in 17-18 (Zimbo, Klose, Hanley). I wonder if it’s the same formation now at Leeds?

I suppose one counterargument might be that Schwartau is really a 10 and Makama a 9, and having pacier, natural wingers might relieve pressure on our FB’s by forcing opposing FBs and MF’s to play more defensively. #ncfc

Makama played well, though. I wonder if he’ll start next match ahead of Forson. #ncfc
December 6, 2025 at 2:38 PM
Yeah, Wright had one good moment - the pass to get Makama in for the shot that led to Sargent’s shot that got blocked - but other than that, lost the ball a few times and passed inaccurately. #ncfc
