What an absolute shitshow of a sporting weekend that was. Fuck off.

I disagree. Most of the problems this season are down to three or four factors in my opinion. - only two stikers in the squad, both with iffy fitness records. - our big summer signing getting banned for betting. - freak injuries to key players leaving him with a fatigued squad and limited choices. - not changing things that aren't working. - some of the squad simply aren't good enough. How many of those factors are purely down to Howe? Should he carry the can for decisions that he has no control over?

Given the players available, what do you think he could have done to remedy it? Not being facetious, just interested to hear some suggestions.

I agree with this. The midfield is clearly the issue, but I genuinely don't see how he does anything with the players available atm. We literally don't have a single player who can tackle, and zero pace in there. Hopefully Willock can get up to speed and stay fit.

Who?

You'd like to think that the people running the club have more faith than some of our 'supporters'.

Be very careful what you wish for.

The season was over pretty much the minute Pope got injured, sadly.

He didn't track back, man. ?

This is fucking garbage mind.

Who would you bring on to 'change it'?

Youre an idiot son, step away from your console.

He can give himself a slap on the back, epic stuff.

List the assists or chances he has created?

You stupid, stupid cunt.

No, it's just the reality of an extreme situation.

This. Be careful what you wish for.

Agreed. Sometimes you have to take a step back to move forwards. Hopefully we can jettison some of the utter fannies who no longer want tickets anymore because we're not winng every week.

Well done you, nearly 50 for me. All I've ever wanted was to us to show ambition and realise our potential, and I'm old enough to know the gap to the big clubs has never been bigger. Perspective and reflection is needed.

Probably not, and nor should we be based on our income and wages. We'll get there in the next 2 or 3 years though, I'm sure of that. Have you got the patience?

Again, absolutely zero context. The clubs you talk about have had years head start on us, have spent much more on their squads, have much higher wage bills and 2 or 3 times the amount of revenue. We massively over achieved last season and are paying the price a bit this time around. It's going to take a few more seasons to be in that bracket, I suggest you grow a pair or take up another team/sport.

There's still the common denominator of half a squad missing and playing 8 or 9 games more than most sides.

We don't have any other midfielders, or do you think trialling a new system againat the World Champions was the call?

Because there's no context to your 'we're shite' argument, none at all. Shite sides don't run Man City close. How many top 10 top flight finishes have you seen as an NUFC fan, if you want some historical context?

Nothing to do with having half a squad missing or the number of games we've played. No, we're just shite. Genuinely embarrassed we have ignorant berks like you among our 'support'.
