They need to realise you can't change things overnight.

Inspiring stuff as always.

Would recommend everyone reads the replies to that tweet. They are great after a shit performance today.

20th in the form table since the day he took over 9 games ago.

Remember when their chairman appointed him saying the biggest reason was his ability to have an instant impact?

You read his comments about them today and it's cut and paste from his time here. Talk of his own frustration, felt both teams lacked quality (always a favourite of his), awful game of football, neither keeper had a save to make.

Disagree, I don't think with Gayle up top we'd have seen that run of form. That's not to say Wood has been good, or that we might not have still got out of the relegation zone had we signed someone else instead of him, but I really don't think we'd have had a chance with Gayle up front. The fact Wood is struggling and Gayle still doesn't get a kick tells its own story.

Everton are at Burnley next which is a massive game. Would love to see Everton relegated, but if they win that the bottom three suddenly look a long way adrift.

Had forgotten about Hendrick. I think we'll be able to move Almiron on.

Couldn't even convince the likes of Lewis to go out on loan and prove himself. I don't rate Murphy, but at least he was willing to go away and try and improve at a lower level.

Only Longstaff, Schar and Dummett have deals expiring this summer I think too. The challenge will be moving on the likes of Ritchie, Gayle, Hayden, Murphy, Lewis and Krafth, most of whom will be on money they'll be unlikely to get elsewhere.

Most of the side still picks itself, which is part of the problem. Can understand Bruno not starting today after getting back relatively late, but he has to start next time. Joelinton has enough credit to be persisted with, as does Fraser with Murphy being a significant downgrade. Burn has been poor today and made costly errors recently but I'm not sure taking him out for Lascelles is the answer. Same goes for Schar. Thought Manquillo was bad today too, but is the answer bringing Krafth back in? Probably not.

Impacts on the players who are struggling too. Wood needs taken out of the side, but he can't be really. It's difficult to solve the problem too because you can't backfill with too many players and tell them they won't be playing often as they walk through the door.

I know I've singled Burn out on his thread, but they were all awful today. At least we know Joelinton is the type to come back from it.

And without writing off what we've done since mid January too. Spurs front three are absolutely miles ahead of our back four and they showed it today. The way we collapsed second half made it ten times worse.

Was absolutely terrible today. Far from the only one obviously, but definitely one of the worst. Needs to calm down.

Eh? He made an arse of it today - don't see anyone suggesting otherwise? Totally ignoring the period and changes he's made since the Cambridge game because "today". Yes mate he definitely hasn't rebuilt anyone's confidence, joelinton, Fraser, anybody. You just have to listen to them to hear how he hasn't done it. We've had a hiding today, but at least you've got something out of it. I'll leave it there because you're clearly as thick as a castle wall.

Posting to complain about him listening to the players and rebuilding their confidence which has given us the chance to stay up. You call that support? Have a word with yourself. Agenda driven nonsense is what it is.

Some can't.

Good to see you back posting about him. Been a tough time for you since Christmas up until the last few weeks. Snide stuff like your first paragraph shows your agenda for what it is. Pathetic. If you can't see how much he's lifted them and that without that we'd be down already maybe you need to spend your weekends watching something other than nufc. The club doesn't need "supporters" like you.

Wish one of them would knock up one of those threads with a joint north east premier league team.

What are the American lads on here going to do after the first ten days of the tournament to keep themselves entertained then?

Just reading that thread, whoever Mad Cyril is he hasn't done himself any favours confusing the words condemn and condone.

I wonder if one of the bidders is low balling.
