Newcastle United vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers: 12/03/2023 @ 4.30pm (Sky)

Great result for wolves today. Downside they will be boosted in confidence while we are increasingly frustrated and trending down. Upside someone is going to take a paddling from us sooner or later and I'm glad it's at home not away. Given our run to season end, it's really in our hands how high we finish. I hope we can stay top 7. -
It must have started prior to the WC but maybe we gave him the benefit of the doubt. He was noticeably by in possession for give aways in the WC though and its just kept on from there. Also compounded with his sub par set pieces by his standards. He is clocking on and can't play this many games without a rest. Hope ashby is ready.

Oops. Joe needs a break like most of the others. So it's a big loss but will likely be beneficial to him .

I was wondering the same lol. Get Grealish Joe. I think they just extend the ban.

It's long built frustration from being so close the past few months and luck not being in our favour for finishing or moments in play going against us. Combine that with the false sense of reality and hope to where we are with how far up the table we were prior to January. We just aren't there yet. It's coming. Doesn't stop it being frustrating we are close but not close enough but needs perspective.

The football is becoming like kryptonite to us in 2023. Thin margins but so many sloppy errors and toothless upfront.

Fucking pap. We are so sloppy today.

I thought this picture was a parody when it popped up on my fb feed just now. I am so confused. Was it a fan competition to draw it?

Jammy scousers of course.

Didn't those quotes come from the chronicle the other day? I read them yesterday or the day before is all my hazy brain remembers. Your point still stands.

Feck! Don't feel so bad reading the posts here. I'd no idea they were up next. No rest for the wicked I guess. On the upside I'd rather they win the league than Arsenal. -
Allan Saint-Maximin (now playing for Fenerbahce, on loan from Al-Ahli)

He needs to start but in that free role off Isak in a front 2. Not sure Isak is best suited to that though. There is too much pressure on Burn playing the formation we do and ASM not tracking back as much as needed. -
Hope he vanquished some of his demons today. Given the circumstances, the gravity of the game, his background and lack of match sharpness, he was immense today. Well done lad.

Also feel this will just further motivate our ownership. They saw and felt the hunger today, the bitter disappointment. Impossible they weren't dragged deeper into this infectious addiction that comes with this club. -

It's the story of the season really. So close but ultimately not there....yet. Came into the season hoping we could get into Europe and that 7th spot. Going to be frustrating if we don't manage that now. Good times are coming, I just hope this isn't a negative watershed moment for Howe and the team. It could be either way. I hope we don't see fans slowly turn, it was a fully committed performance from players and fans but on the pitch we lack the game changing quality and clinical finishing. ASM looked great coming forward but was a gamble playing higher and leaving Burn under pressure. Glad Karius got some redemption. Could he have done better on the goals? Maybe but that would be harsh on a keeper that hasn't played in a year and lacks match sharpness. I hope he can build himself from here. Clear to see where we need to improve and upgrade players. Hopefully this is the start of Isaks starting run from next week. Almiron has needed resting for two months now. Bruno was great and Joe was sadly off the pace. Nothing really we didn't know for next summer. We still need: - a RCB - a DM and likely another CM - Another creative wide player - a Wilson replacement. Jonathon David please. - potentially a LB too. I was a bit surprised to see Eddie be possibly a bit less ruthless and more compassionate with his subs and giving people a go. If a goal was coming it was through ASM and Brunos creativity. I feel sorry for targett, I think he needs to get more minutes going forward to change things up. For quite a few of these squad players it will be their last likely chance to win something with us. I'm glad the likes of Murphy and Burn got their occasion but we are so limited depth wise. Again, It's only the start. Dissapointed, a bit gutted but our slump, gk situation and Manures purple patch always left us severe underdogs. We will be back. -

Joe and BDB have been off the pace today. Great save from Karius. -
