  1. Interesting: Twelve of the 20 teams in the Premier League have employed dedicated set piece coaches. Newcastle haven’t yet followed suite but the responsibility is left to assistant coach Jason Tindall and first-team set piece analyst Kieran Taylor.
  2. Looks like we have to build the dynasty on the shoulders of Longstaff and co.
  3. Anyone seen this guy recently? He was ruled out at the end of September due to eczema, but surely that can’t be the reason. I assume he’s still collecting £100k a week
  4. Please don’t appoint anyone decent, Manure being shite is just the best feeling
  5. I’d take that £100m now please
  6. Maybe we need to sacrifice some players on the centre circle just before kick off to lift the curse. Worth a try.
  7. Captain obvious here, but a fit Wilson and we’d easily be top six so far.
  8. It’s not just us, but I really don’t get the lack of innovation in set pieces. They are the perfect opportunity to have direct control over a passage of play and we almost always just do a floated set penis which rarely causes any issues. Maybe it’s why I’m not a football coach, but I’d be trying to vary the runs and positions of the players much more to cause far more confusion and uncertainty to the opposition.
  9. I love Eddie and want more than anything for him to succeed, but I do have these nagging doubts (which I don’t think are unfair), that include: - One dimensional/rigid substitutions - Sticking with out of form players at times - Our considerable drop in intensity - Lack of a tactical plan B - Absolutely woeful set pieces - The form of our purple players being sub-par this season (hopefully this is temporary) - His lack of previous pedigree with managing a big club (yes, everyone has to start somewhere) It’s probably unfair to just list the negatives as his positives far outweigh them, but I guess that fits with the negative vibe on here at the moment. The summer transfer failure(s) obviously cost the club a lot in terms of lost momentum, but hopefully we can catch up in January. I think the injury crisis was a more than reasonable excuse for last seasons issues, now that this has cleared, my expectations are far higher (for the whole club, not just Eddie).
  10. Wood and Anderson hattricks incoming
  11. A half decent performance and we would probably have taken 3 points
  12. Half our squad aren’t premier league standard, so we have to make do
  13. Someone fainted after Longstaff completed a pass
