Pilko

It wasn't going in anyway, looked to be hitting the post or going wide to me. Should fucking bury it. He's getting flak because he's jogging about like an old man who's just smoked fifty tabs.

Jogging about contributing absolutely fuck all again, and the one time a chance fell to him in the six yard box he fucks it up yet again. Absolutely chronic.

Second half: We'll have loads of possession but create no more than a couple of half chances in the entire half. Elanga for Murphy, Woltemade for Wissa and Ramsey for Tonali on 60-65 mins. Like for like. Brentford will score a third late on.

This has been the softest, flattest, limp dick of a performance from both team and crowd so far. Tired or not, this hasn't been anywhere near good enough.

They'll give it. Referees call.

We are the softest, shittest touch on the planet.

It's not fair on him at this point. If he was a horse they'd be getting the green screens out. Talk of winning titles in 2030 but in 2026 the club won't even go out and get some kind of defensive relief for our relic right-back who's being ran into the ground and costing us every game.

Yep. We deserve that.

Get in! The most muted reaction to a goal I've heard at SJP since COVID that

2-2. Think we'll struggle with Thiago.

Has this pretty novel approach of getting in the box, moving about and getting on the end of things. It'll never catch on.

Deary me, Forest's defending Gruev allowed to take three touches on the edge of the box without anyone anywhere close.

That goal away at Boro was a peach. Never seems to make it onto top NUFC goals lists but it's an absolute howitzer.

Feels like we get one of these every 5-6 weeks but "just win" - crap performance and a nob end in the 90th minute, doesn't matter.

Come on, tongue partially in cheek.

Last two games have been rough but both expected defeats and with a lack of options in the midfield and at the back. Two displays which had their faults and plenty of them, but I don't really see what else he could have done that much differently to suddenly end two massive away hoodoos against the best two teams in the land in the space of five days. We could do with a win against Brentford desperately on Saturday, mind. He needs to get the set-up right but some of these lads (Wissa, Woltemade, Tonali, Thiaw, Elanga - all players he put his bet on) need to up their games and pull a result out for their manager.

Currently in second place on the league table of old men who chew loads of gum and infuriate Newcastle fans behind Sir Alex Ferguson.

Can't believe we've spent as much as we have on two strikers who look so ineffective. Doubtless Nick will eventually be added to the long list of players who go on to achieve great things in the game but looked largely shit in a black and white shirt.

Still don't rate him but he made some good saves second half, stopped it turning into a really bad drubbing on the night.

Seem to remember him actually breaking into a sweat once or twice.

Wissa and Woltemade must be having a secret competition on who can be the least effective.

On his heels whilst the ball is flashed across the box perfectly for him to convert. A lazy bag of shit.

Goal must have give him that pesky confidence he needed to miss the second chance.

Oh no hold on, he's crap again.

Wissa drifting offside like a Sunday morning player.
