Man City Brighton and Wolves were all similar to last season (In fa t I'd sat we were better at Man City and Wolves than least season). Look at our level of substitutions last season, 2nd most and usually from the attacking 6 players to keep intensity up. Eddie was rotating Isak and Wilson. Barnes started for Gordon when he got injured. Murphy got a few starts, a d we started tge season without Willock and Longstaff. So far the only thing people have came up with is Trippier should gave came off for Tino at Wolves, which even if true wouldn't have made a huge deal of difference given everything else.

We haven't had a bench since West Ham.

The same one I was saying at the time was the pick between him and Botman and the other one who's name I can't remember.

It happened at the Leazes end. Mitrovic against us.

I think that would have happened even if Trips hadn't got injured.

Not just today. He was always looking to, and usually did, make nice passes against Man City. Not sure about him defensively but he has got plenty of time.

Not really. Because we'd used two "sub windows" early we really were worried about any more injuries, otherwise Gordon would have been off as soon as we got the 2nd.

Also done the Trippier pointing where to go.

He emailed Silva last night to say Botman had an outside chance, told him about Gordon's issues as well. Mentioned what we'd be doing on set pieces with Trippier being out.

Swan Hunters got overtime on.

Never thought of that.

I heard they were offering "work for half pay" and they were inundated.

Got to love that half that latter from a Councillor to the Police is a whine that a football club is going to move some fans for a match. What the fuck do they expect the Police to do on that point ? They'll be telling on the owner to his mam next.

Eddie's was shite as well. He made something decent out of it.

False equivalence and all that.

Got to trust that data.

It seems worse with the chances seemingly being costly. I remember Joelinton, Willock and Longstaff missing easier chances and more often but we'd go on to win so missed chances played less on the mind.

They ain't happy on you know where.

Maybe send the opposition a text detailing the tactics we are going to use as well ?

It's like Robsons last full season and Peter Reids second season of finishing 7th, purely looking at the stats and it's not too bad but those that went could see the change and knew it wasn't going to turn round.

Even if 1 was 19 and to be developed, 1 was an understudy to possibly the most productive player in the division and another is coming along nicely in The Netherlands ? I'll make up my mind when the other two have been able to play. If I two years they've helped us to success then it's been a good window, if they been moved on because they've been poor then I'd say its been a poor one.

We have form of playing Fulham just before Christmas, always horrible games .

Next International break is March I think. I was going to call for an alteration to the thread title but might not need to.

Fixture list, archive and the "on this day" bit can be interesting.

We aren't the richest. We have the richest owners but that's not NUFCs money.
