sbnufc Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Pretty hard stat to find and I'm 99% sure the answer is no, but I'd love to know if Pardew ever won us a game from behind at HT with the sub(s) scoring the goals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Absolutely. Doesn't panic when we lose. Doesn't over do it when we win. Unlike Alan "that's for the owner" Pardew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that was the only time we ever came back from being behind at half time when he was here. One of the scorers was sub in that game (Sammy).

Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I admit I don't like the way we are playing at the moment but it has produced two surprising results. Do we lack the players to play possession/passing football or is it a case of having zero confidence to play such football? Hopefully with these two results we will see more football being played and continue to pick up points. My own personal opinion, however, is that we lack the right kind of players and that if McClaren is to succeed, he needs players better suited to how he wants us to play. If this isn't a fluke, it does bode well that he can set the team up to play a different game to how he sees things long-term, to grind out short-term results. It is the kind of stuff that can keep a team up. Again I dont think he is the right man for us and ideally a relegation would be good to help with the AO movement, but I cannot dislike McClaren and I'm happy for him. His pre and post match interview was totally different to Pardew. He's an honest, thoughtful guy who doesn't get carried away or becomes too despondent. Hard work, spirit etc. has been his mantra for a few weeks now and as cliched as it is, hard work and commitment can go a long way in any form of business, sport or otherwise. We obviously improved when Mitorvic and Perez came on, but I'd stick with the same starting 11 against Villa at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Massive two results for him. After this there should be enough confidence for this lot to go on and pick up points regularly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Massive two results for him. After this there should be enough confidence for this lot to go on and pick up points regularly. I wouldn't say that, like. We're still massively short at CB and CM and we won't get much consistency until that's rectified, IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current style is far away from how we started the season and he seems to have just gone for something more short-term, not that we were playing any different when we last looked competent 6 weeks back or so. I'm not that bothered about a philosophy, for now, our players are too mish-mash and any longevity in style is going to take some smart recruiting (HA).

lovejoy Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 massive result for him today, as big as last weeks in many ways because he had to show last weeks wasnt a fluke. I like him and want him to do well but still think the next two will show as much as the last two. here's hoping we do the business against villa and everton.

But we've got goals in us so the confidence boost should at least help us on that score. At least now if we go behind our heads shouldn't drop and that's been a big issue for us all year.

Next week is a huge test. We're usually absolutely awful when we open up our shape a bit due to our lack of athleticism and I'm not expecting much from the winnable fixtures we've got coming up.

sixx Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Happy for him. Somehow he's also managed to create a little bit of competition between Cisse/de Jong and Mitro/Perez which is nice as there hasn't been a real competition for a place in the team for years.

Klaus Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I hope this isnt just the beginning, of one of Pardew style 'get out of jail' runs. Where we would perhaps be unbeaten in 6/7 games, but then go on a run of 1 win in 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where I have far more faith in McClaren than I ever did with Pardew. With Pardew, this was it. This was his Newcastle and it was never going to improve. With McClaren though, there's been points this season where we have tried to play a possession based, passing style. Gives a bit of hope that once the results continue to pick up, players continue to grow in confidence, that we'll see more of that again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinho lad Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I think today is a case of the manager getting too much credit and, in the past, a bit too much criticism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Either by design or by fluke he got it right today, I think Mitro and Perez needed to know they weren't undrinkable, if we had the options there's a few others that could do with the same message. We play great on the break, the first half wasn't great, it was about soaking up the pressure and we let a sloppy goal in, the second half we really turned the screw. I definitely think it won't be as easy as we hope next week against Villa unless they come at us, if they park the bus and make us break them down they'll do to us what we've done in the last 2 games. Hopefully McClaren can mix it up and get another result, how long since we last did 3 in a row? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
