SUPERTOON

We are playing away and have just been relegated and lost 3 players to injury in this game alone. So much entitlement on here at the moment. Or we are playing Brentford and we should be trying to beat teams likes this if we want to go up?

The good old days. http://4c2lgc59e181vuma1n9bmo1c.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/assets/steve-mcclaren-mouth-open-newcastle-united-nufc-650x400.jpg ?

Our away performances have mimicked this all season tbh, the difference is we have managed to hold on. We score and completely sit back.

Massively concerning, it's not as if we are playing half decent sides, we are more often than not being outplayed by ridiculously poor teams and some of the worst in the division.

?

Who else could go in? Anita, a youth player, anyone who hasn't constantly been our worst player and cost us games.

The starting 11 isn't much better.

The team ?

Mccarthy would be a poor signing, would provide zero creativity and offers nothing but giving free kicks away. Everton fans are pretty desperate to get rid which should tell you everythig. Obviously he is better than Colback but if we are judging a player by that then we could pretty much sign anyone.

That we haven't what we are doing yet even though we are pretty desperate for players.

A little concerning.... George Caulkin 1h George Caulkin ‏@CaulkinTheTimes Plenty of irons in the fire for #Nufc - winger + midfielder the targets - but yet to decide whether loans/fees make most sense this month.

Another poor display without any creativity, unless someone is signed in time, if not cant see us getting a win. 1-0 Brentford.

You've seen all his performances for Bolton this season, I take it? No I saw all his performances for us and that was more than enough. A few decent performances in league one should not make up for how bad he was every time he played for us. eh.. last time he played for us was May 2015 Players improve. In that time he has been rubbish for Cardiff in the championship, and did ok for Bolton in league one. He has proven he isn't good enough for us time and again.

Sammy Ameobi?

He's an absolutely horrific player and should be nowhere near our squad.

What's he actually supposed to do?

Wtf has Benitez been watching to feel Colback deserves a place in the squad. He's cost us this game, subs should have been on 20 minutes ago.

Must be time for a change.

Need Gouffran off asap. We really would transform as a team with a new winger and CM.

Lee Ryder saying Mitrovic being rested today and is not injured. Obviously something going on behind the scenes because he clearly doesn't need resting.

Pretty bad that.

He's barely been given a chance, and have you seen our bench? Hardly filled with attacking options are we? But he's obviously showing nothing in training, same with people moaning about Gouff (not too much on here) when the fact is he's been a strong performer all season. That would go against everything Rafa has said all season about how good he has been in training. If Rafa doesn't dance him and he is leaving then fair enough, but at this moment he should be on the bench and is more deserving of a place in the squad than Perez and Diame.

Decent chance.

Agree with this, hard to see where our goals/chances will come from.
