And on the RARE occasion when DF did play a 2nd striker, Josh was played there and it lessened Josh's effectiveness and did zilch to help Basil.

From DDF at today's presser - 'Rhodes taking a pay cut to be here as one of players who wants to be at [HASHTAG]#NCFC[/HASHTAG]'
Shame Naismith didn't do the same but yes that speaks volumes in today's money orientated game
Good line from Webber, [HASHTAG]#NCFC[/HASHTAG] will attack the Barclay second half where possible at Carrow Rd this season so that fans can play a part in driving the team forwards in home games.
Instead of just sitting here and being paid his full salary - as he was entitled to do - didn't Naismith take a 25% cut in salary to facilitate his latest loan move or was that just a rumour I read somewhere?
That was my understanding, 1950. Like the others, he also took a pay cut after relegation.
Yeah, and he took a work-rate cut to match it
Anyway, all water under the bridge. Well, 25% water under the bridge.
I couldn't find a source for his 25% pay cut but don't doubt he took one.
From £50k plus a week he is still doing ok out of us .

'Sporting director Stuart Webber is determined to trim the wage bill at Carrow Road and with Steven Naismith earning in excess of £50,000 a week, there is a big saving to be made.'
Fair enough DD, but that article is from August 2017,
so not a recent development as I first thought.
Nobody really knew how much Naismith was on and whenever I posted Naismith is on about £40k a week that figure was called an exaggeration.
The EDP seem to think it's North of £50k which seems mental for his age and contribution.
His agent must laugh his head off on a daily basis at our Jack and the beanstalkesque negotiating team.
I've always worked on £40 k - which in itself is insanity personified.
Anything north of that is sheer lunacy!!
Well DD, looks like we'll just have to have 2 free pints at stake - both Marriott and Rhodes are 1-10 to score more than 10 in the Championship this season. 
Remind me again it's total goals scored in all competitions at the end of the season ?Well DD, looks like we'll just have to have 2 free pints at stake - both Marriott and Rhodes are 1-10 to score more than 10 in the Championship this season.
If Rhodes outscores Marriott I will happily buy you a beer or two Alek.
Yes, that's the bet.Remind me again it's total goals scored in all competitions at the end of the season ?
