‘Extraordinary’ puts me in mind of a proper ridiculous FM-style marquee signing. The type of player we’ve avoided thus far. I can think of a few names but to even commit them to text feels daft. Tbh I quite enjoy the approach we’ve taken thus far. Younger, highly rated players who are going to be the backbone of the team for years to come. I’m not desperate for us to start chucking silly money around at big names.

Our fans and this place in particular are bad for it. Sure it happens with other clubs too, but some of the nonsense spouted on here is beyond belief at times. Could forgive it if there was a lack of application or effort, but that’s evidently not the case for any of our lot right now. I also can’t abide the steadfast refusal of some to accept a player who is not flavour of the month (Murphy, Willock, Wood etc) can ever contribute positively in any way whatsoever. Murphy played well on Saturday. Absolutely indisputable. I saw it with my own eyes. He had help because they were a man down, but what are you going to do? Lad did exactly what was asked of him and he did it well. And you’ve got certifiable cretins trying to dismiss reality lest they have to eat a tiny slice of humble pie online.

Glad it’s not just me that thinks Pod on the Tyne is unlistenable. The ‘banter’ is fucking minging.

His stock has fallen since he left us, no doubt. There’s only a finite number of Prem jobs and he’s not getting anything towards the top end of the table. Forest make sense in that regard.

No brainer. Guarantees goals when he’s on the pitch. Now we just need to sort out a better chant for him.

I haven’t seen anyone getting carried away, just enjoying an impressive win away from home where we played well despite missing some key personnel.

Fraser has in the past. Not this season. Miggy is just shit.

I reckon him just as much as Miggy and Fraser.

Don’t fully understand that selection (other than Burn for Targett, which I assume is about height) but we’re not leaving anything outstanding on the bench. Murphy over any of our other players is a much of muchness.

Likewise. Blood pressure can’t cope with Almiron killing every attack stone dead.

If he’s getting out of breath doing a simple press conference I don’t think he’s fit.

We have been spectacularly shit at doing either like. Look at Toney. Considered a relative success because we had a sell on clause but in reality letting him go for what we did - or even at all - was a massive fuck up.

Anger squared because of the pipes in our support that insist he’s a decent player.

There is a degree of perspective required. We haven’t been bested by anyone we’ve played against really. Even Liverpool has a massive asterisk attached. These are missed opportunities though.

Yep. We’ve had to rejig the entire midfield to make up for his absence.

He is properly shit. The number of people on here who were fooled by him after preseason too

I don’t know how you forge a career in professional football and end up as one footed as Miggy is.

Our lack of quality out wide really being exposed now teams are coming to SJP and sitting back. Need ASM and Wilson back urgently.

I’ve seen similar in North Korea, so unique might be pushing it.

Ah well, it was nice while it lasted.

I don’t think Adam P has done anything wrong here like. He defended himself. Whatever is going on with Lowes he can’t go around bullying people. On the other hand Wraith is a fucking tit.

You’re getting wound up by something you’ve imagined in your own head.

It could work quite well at a home cup tie (if we get one).

That’s the flip side aye. Give a new meaning to the term Royal Rumble.

The other consideration - unmentioned so far I think - is some stadium-wide activity backfiring because some fans get pissed off with those who aren’t minded to take part.
