Elliottman Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Still think he needs more time. But then again, me and my friends that I go to the games with seem to be in the minority who thought we actually played pretty well last night. Only mistake was the Ben Arfa sub really, and the poor opening 20 mins. The rest of the game we did pretty well I thought. Anyhow, if we're still in this position come mid-January, and there's no signs of any players coming in, I'll start to lose patience. As things stand though, he's still got time from me. Dunno what it is as well, but every NUFC fan I speak to at work (or anyone who's not on this forum mainly) thinks he deserves a lot more time. Don't know how relevent that is, but my 2p's worth anyway. I'd pretty much agree with all that. I didnt think we played too bad yesterday either. Had the majority of the ball certainly in the second half, they just seemed to get behind our midfield far to easily when they came forward. As for Pardew, I think you're right. Despite our plight I dont find myself wanting rid of him right now. (Maybe due to having zero confidence in them replacing him with anyone decent). If we dont get a centre half in January then thats when I'll start losing faith. As it stands, with Williamson in there we are always going to leak goals.

Parky Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Sky Sports seemed to be starting it last night. Long shot of him walking off the pitch at the end followed by the 27 years stat. Yeah there have been one or two stealthily critical articles in the papers lately as well. Thing is with Pards there are plenty getting ready to take piece of him.

Dokko Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Sky Sports seemed to be starting it last night. Long shot of him walking off the pitch at the end followed by the 27 years stat. It's starting then. They'll be right on him by the end of the month, and everyone's tune will have changed. Sky have been busy though, with Rafa and stirring that pot, but it looks like he might get enough results to keep them at arms length and why they've been buzzing round MoNg. Really Sky will want one of them sacked before the end of Jan, and can play each manager off against each other till one cracks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really Sky will want one of them sacked before the end of Jan, and can play each manager off against each other till one cracks. What? Sky love a good sacking man. There's the build up, the stat off, the fans opinion, former players opinion, then the chairman giving his backing, then the event itself. They then have one clubs supporters tuned in 24-7 while they interview everyone they can, put forward their own candidates, unsettle other clubs fans and then they get to the appointment where they can ask questions the fans want to hear, usually with Jim White asking you to get in contact with him personally at u2us@skysports, tell us what you think... They love it. to miss out on that, during a transfer window where they can speculate more about players coming and going, well, probably a stackable offence for their producer or something. To then have two local rival clubs struggling together, I imagine sky sports office is buzzing. Double Xmas bonus this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon as Sky sports etc starts twisting the knife the sheep aka general public will sharp change their tune. Nah, I don't think my family and friends are that swayed by the media. That's based off knowing them, and going to matches with them, for the last ~20 years. I just think there's a lot less knee-jerking going on amongst your 'regular' fans. The internet (Twitter, forums etc) gives people a platform to behave in this way and face little actual scrutiny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sugoinufc Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Game was over after Shola came on for HBA. He should have but Marveux on at that stage. Hoofing the ball to Hangelands head was sad to watch really. Especially, when our forwards did not make any efforts to win the ball. I dont think we won any headers in their box. And all this after we played (= HBA played) some nice football in the second half. Jonas playing full 90 mins I would not mind him getting the sack, but Ashley porbably would just hire someone like Kinnear.. this especially stands out imo. 20 min. left. marveaux could have been able to continue what arfa started. Shola is done in the PL. Colo was so so. Maybe more competition would do him good as well....none should be sure of a starting place. Think we should still go for 4-3-3. central midfield of Anita and tiote behind cabaye. New: RB or LB if santon moves to RB...think he might be better there actually. New: CB: real quality needed New: LW. pacey, tricky with and eye for assists and goals. Striker: depends. if Ba leaves obviously. But i think we should play only play one of cisse and ba....if we have arfa and a new quality LW. its only three new players if ba stays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that I'm not the only one to have posted that the mood between supporters they know personally is in stark contrast to this place, Twitter and others. If you know differently, I'm happy to be proved wrong. I've not heard one person at the match, or in social interactions, say that they want Pardew out now.

Legacy Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I think one of the most annoying things about us is the way we attack, every game we barely create anything unless it's a moment of brilliance from one of our better players yet constantly other teams (pretty much every team we play) carve us open and play dangerous balls into our box. We may survive this season under Pardew, but if we want to improve as a team we need a better manager (anyone who can get us playing decent football tbf).
