Jimburst Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Think we will win but the wheels will come off next game. The narrative will either be 'Fickle Geordies, look he's got you challenging for the Champions League spots' or 'Deluded Geordies, expecting to challenge for the Champions League spots. Be grateful for what you've got' depending on how things go. So sickeningly true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpie Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 The prospect of Dummett (who admittedly has done quite well alongside Colo) and Williamson at the centre of the defence petrifies me, be like the blind leading the blind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is our centre back paring then the king wont be playing front foot football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I dread to think what would be said about Dummett if he hadn't defended well all season, like. Some incredibly blinkered people on here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 He has been absolutely fine defensively from the first game against City. Let's not re-write history because he's playing well now. We shipped in 2 goals in games against City, Palace, Hull and Swansea and didn't give a particularly good defensive performance in any of those games, him included. I think he's a decent player but let's not pretend he's been good since the start of the season when clearly he hasn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were shambolic defensively until the start of last month. None of the back 4 were playing well at the start of the season with the exception of Janmaat who was decent and now looks like a great signing. Anyone who watched us over the first half dozen games knows this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't play particularly well in any of the 4 games I mentioned and he certainly hasn't defended well all season as you said earlier. That's clearly a load of rubbish and anyone who attended any of those games mentioned would agree. Anyway I'm bored with you now so goodbye. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 So clearly is it a load of rubbish that 'didn't play particularly well in 4 games' is the harshest criticism. Vicious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Agree with Ron. I think hes been sound defensively since day one, hes never looked dodgy. Its unfashionable to like the local lads for some reason. He may never become Maldini but with more experience he may become a very good defender indeed. He deserves to be in the team over Taylor and Williamson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He deserves to be in the team over Taylor and Williamson. What evidence do you have to back this up? From day one people said he's poor on the ball but a competent defender. It's nothing to do with where he is from. I take everyone didn't like Carroll then? Colback played for sunderland. People were on here raving about that Calumn Roberts kid. It's total bollocks. The only thing it has to do with is his play style. Hes certainly developed his defensive game alot over the last season, however hes awkward on the ball and not technically fantastic. These are two attributes that we as Newcastle fans value alot in a player, perhaps because we have been treated to players like Robert, Beardsley, Ginola, Cabaye Ben Arfa etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Evidence? Its not a courtroom FFS. Some people on this forum are unfair on young local players. This is my opinion.

They can't both be true, really. I feel that people criticise all our players when we play like shit, Gouffran and Cisse are foreigners who have taken a lot of shit on here, recently. You play badly (like everyone has been) and you're gonna get criticism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negative on Dummett, Taylor and Colback because they are not very good, has fuck all to do with the fact they are local. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
