joeyt Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Didn't we lose some stinkers last time? Scunthorpe rings a bell. People forget the tramps lost their first few games with Quinn in the dugout before the dog nonce came and saved their season..... Scunthorpe (a) (2-1) Blackpool (a) (2-1) Derby (a) (3-0) were our only defeats last time. And Forest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I was definitely partly expecting a bad result, it's not a shock. Poor performance but it's basically a completely new team in their first competitive game ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I was definitely partly expecting a bad result, it's not a shock. Poor performance but it's basically a completely new team in their first competitive game ever. In only the manager's 11th(!) proper match in charge. I know we started to turn a bit of a corner at the end of last season but it's going to take time for all of his methods and tactics to sink in. We all know the squad isn't full of outstanding talent, that's why we were relegated in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

louistoon Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Knee jerk reactions after games are hilarious. We have just lost to one of the worst teams in the division like. Who've sold there best 2 players. And its going to be a long season. We can't keep jumping on every manager after they lose a game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had of made the correct decisions regarding the starting line up then we wouldnt be jumping on peoples backs..... - Hanley should not have started, Mbemba was fit; - Gamez should have been integrated into the side over pre-season instead of Dummett; - Colback, we all know should not have played; - Playing Anita RW was pardew/mcclarenesque. Finally we still haven't addressed the creativity issue, the lack of goals yet he has the biggest budget of them all. No excuses, long season or not.

AY Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I think atm there is very little he can do selection wise, Aarons and Armstrong were the only attacking players available for bench and one of them clearly isnt ready. De Jong, Diame and probably 2 wingers or winger and a striker will give a lot more to choose from. And I think Rafa will play very cautious away from home. Lots of 0-0s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 1 game. Honestly not sure what's genuine in here any more. People have been getting themselves too f***ing giddy in the head all summer, that's the problem. Hope for the best, expect the worst - these are the rules. You should all have supported Newcastle long enough to know not to break them. Agree with this, it did feel a lot this summer that people think that if we just turn up and we'll win, as if we were only going to be playing semi-professional teams every week this season. The optimism and hope was refreshing but comments about some of our own players 'should be fine' in this league when they are awful was a bit strange, as if they'd be going from playing in the Premier League to the Northern league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 He'll learn a lot from this, that's the positive. It didn't take him long to figure out Taylor was a fraud, I don't think he'll have much patience for any other wankers who can't step up pretty quickly. Not talking about you specifically Jack.

Mick Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 He said in one of this week's interviews that he thinks it'll take a month or so for us to be at our peak. Pretty honest about it all. The major thing with Rafa, and many level-headed have said this, is he rectifies his mistakes. And he does it quickly. It's going to be a good season, despite last night's rancid performance Pre-season has gone well for us and I don't think he was the problem last night. I didn't like his starting 11 too much but I understand why he played who he did. He made changes during the game which were needed but the problem was that too many players let him down and he couldn't change more than 3 players. He'll have more players available next weekend and we'll have a better first 11 because of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
