hoppaz Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 My thoughts from last night... Harper - 6. Nothing special. Kicked the ball into touch when and easy pass was on for our right back. Simpson - 6: Got forward well but again did nothing outstanding. Taylor - 7: Looks a difference class Zurab - 6.5: Looks ok and is cool when needed. Remember him pumping up the ball to know one under a bit of pressure instead of passing it across the back. Enrique - 4 : Can defend then spoils it with silly little errors. His woeful pass made their goal. Butt - 3: Supposed to play out left but came into the middle and left Enrique exposed. Out of his depth Smith - 7: Goes for every ball, wins a lot of headers. Good all round play but a silly booking again though. Nolan - 6: Started in the middle then was pushed out left when Butt couldn't do his job. Still did a good job tackling and closing down. Guthrie - 3: He did three things wrong last night for me which were unforgivable. Firstly his penalty was awful, I mean really, really bad. Secondly he was on the break in the oppositions box in the first half and instead of putting the ball across the box he shot at the keepers near post which meant a pretty easy save (this may have been before the penalty). Wasteful. Lastly this was totally unforgivable IMO. We were awarded a free kick near the gallowgate end in the second half when we were chasing the game and I watched him shoot (go for the far post with a lot of power) instead of a cross. All of our tall lads were waiting for a cross. Some people might of thought this was a cross but there was way too much power on it for it to be that and it sailed miles over the bar. Didn't play as a team player tonight IMO. Ranger - 6 pretty quiet, hold up play great. Had a great turn in the first half near the byline but needs to do more than just hold a ball up Carrol - 6. Better than ranger and good in the air. Needs better service. Harewood - 6: Goal was a tap-in. Was ruled offside through on goal moment after when about a mile onside. Looks like he can be useful. Jonas - 8: My MOM. He is our best attacking player and clearly better than anything else we have got. He changed the game and caused all sorts of problems. Lovenkrands - 6: not enough time.

Thespence Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Jose punt may have started the move that the goal came from but the midfield & centre halfs had plenty of time to shut it down & he was the left hand side with Butt & then the uninterested Jonas playing in front of him.

Seeing as all Butt was expected to do yesterday was offer some defensive cover on the left hand side, if he couldn't even do that than what is the point of his existence?

Thespence Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Just looking Routledges profile on Wiki & saw this On 10 July 2008, Routledge was the subject of a scathing verbal attack from Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan. Jordan was giving an interview about now ex-Palace midfielder John Bostock, during which he used Routledge as an example of why he believed the youth player should not leave Palace to join Tottenham. "When Spurs came knocking I told Wayne to stay and learn his trade at Palace, but he went, he grabbed the money, and now he's at Villa not getting in the first team, just like he didn't get in the Spurs team, just like he didn't get in the Portsmouth team and just like he didn't get in the Fulham team." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Routledge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 the singing sections endless renditions of "your support is fucking shit" is as pathetic as it is embarrassing. I was getting sick of this last night like. Far too many rounds of "get out of our club" including once when we were taking a freekick and once when we'd just won a corner (both when 1-0 down). I wish more of our fans would join in with positive songs. Thought QPR played a good game and we were unlucky not to concede more early on when they piled the pressure on. We had no shape in the first half and I was pleased Hughton had the balls to make the obvious sub - had a horrible feeling at half time that he was going to persist with Butt.

I doubt the away fans will go home crying and if they do who gives a ****? Have you never been abused at an away ground? People should grow some thicker skins, half the time this is sung it's right, who cares if they've driving up from London, whoop de ****ing doo. I'm sure other fans would sing it to us at away games more often if it was actually true but our support isn't ****. As for complaining about the amount of songs coming out of L7, bloody hell, start your own songs if you're sick of hearing the same ones. At least the toon ultras try to build up a semblance of an atmosphere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 only one team deserved to win - that was us. football matches are about scoring more goals than the other team. for all their slick passing and movement how many shots did they manage on target? our play wasn't as pretty but it was more effective. on another day it could have been 4-1. and i agree... stop with the "your support is ******* shit".

Gaz Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I actually sit in level 7 and like to join in the singing but I agree with most of the posters on here. Why do the fans sing so much about Ashley and the away fans? If want to sing it, fair enough sing it once or twice but it seems like its every 5mins. The QPR fans were not that bad and were singing and defo were not shit. Its just a shame that the fans seem to sing the Ashley chants a good few times a match but only sing Blaydon Races etc once or twice. It was a decent atmosphere as well just need to sing different songs and not the same ones over and over again! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I am not saying that some knackas in the singing corner who sing "Your support is fucking shit" are doing the right thing, but there are too many people inside St James who sit on their hands, and won't open their gobs at the ground, but come onto sites like this one to complain. Why not start some clever, funny chants that will catch on so we don't have to listen to shite like "Your support is fucking shite", "we hate Sunderland" and the likes.

Guest Roger Kint Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Am confused now, are you suggesting that we have no other songs than those embarassing ones? Wow what did we ever do before Ashley had to 'get out of our club'? Why make up new ones when there are lots to chose from? Its strange that 'your support....' was one of the very few audible from where i sat in the Gallowgate end suggesting either 'some knackers' account for most the singing section or the majority dont sing there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want different songs sang, then start singing them and get the rest of the mute lot in the Gallowgate to join in. Without the singing corner and the actions of the young uns up there St James would be like a morgue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
