McCormick Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Lets be honest, we were dismal. Sam need to sort out his mentality if we want to stop dropping easy points on the road, wheter its down to complacency on the back of a win or travelling with negative attitudes- its a problem that needs to be rectified if we want a decent league position.

Its a Newcastle football forum mate, we've been playing poor away from home. Is it complaining to want to more from our away performances, remember some unlucky fans paid to watch that.

It's a big issue that's been building though. Far from kneejerk, we are terrible on the road and it needs to be addressed, and quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gggg Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 It's all down to Sam's mentality of valuing a clean sheet more than a goal Thats bullshit How is it? he said himself '0-0 would be the prefect result, if we nick a goal then so be it but i want a clean sheet' or something similar to that. You can't put that much enphasis on the defence and not concede at this level and you arent likely to score either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it is man, the statement was that he valued a clean sheet more than a goal which is bullshit. Yes he places value on not letting goals in, which is something we are struggling with, whats wrong with that. Its a problem that needs to be adressed, so he's tried to address it. But to suggest that its more important than scoring goals is a complete joke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great point Sam can't not see this (excellent grammar there) so if we can take anything from this game its the assumption that sam has learned his lesson......................hopefully Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmelads Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 It's a disgrace to the travelling fans that we line up with such a negative team and keep playing for the point. Again, we got what we deserved because we played for the point and they played for three. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We played Reading today, a team who were struggling before they played us yet we changed our team to stop them from scoring. Getting beat away from home is the main problem, not letting in a goal.

Skeletor Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 The main problem away from home are Sam's bizarre team selections and the fact that we always play with a lack of width meaning everything gets congested. Playing narrower makes keeping posession harder as you haven't got the opportunity to spread the play out wide and make the other team work to get the ball back. This causes more pressure on the defence as they get very little rest and have to work constantly which inevitably causes lapses of concentration or mishaps. Further more our defenders can't deal with balls over the top. It's always been the case and it doesn't look like getting sorted out any time soon. As most people have said, if we set out to beat the home team then we will most of the time. You shouldn't go to Reading and Derby with fear and praying for a point as you'll get nothing. It's all about having a positive approach to these matches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
