Darth Crooks Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 'Truth' that's proven to be wrong is more commonly known as false/horse s*** btw. Calling your daft opinion the truth doesn't make it so, nor does adding 'end of' at the end, just to save me posting that later on. You think Rafa got us relegated, I'm sure you can understand why everyone thinks you're risible. For me he had a "chance " of saving us, as no doubt did you,;we in truth thought he would. I admit the mind set of the club seems to have changed with his introduction but ultimately results will like every manager around these days decide if he is successful. Rafa seems to be beyond any dissent..why? Because it's taken us years to finally sign a proper manager so we don't want rid of him after two games into the season. It's not fucking rocket science. And the results he presided last season we indicative of consistent form - McClarens results did us not him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Would put Darlow back in personally. Any reason? Sels hasn't stood a chance for any of the goals he's let in. His positioning for the 2nd was poor and I can't see what Darlow has done wrong either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 How much are tickets? Nufc website is awful. Think they're a couple of quid cheaper than they were for Huddersfield so £23 for adults in the Leazes and Gallowgate obviously cheaper for concessions. Easiest way to find out is go on nufc.com and click on the online box office link on the right hand side of the page then on event details for Reading and you'll get a full price list.

TRon Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 We need an early goal to take the pressure off and that will mean that Reading have to come out which should mean more gaps. I've got a feeling it will be a scrappy win in the end though, but that would be a start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1964 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 We are 2 games into the season and whilst they haven't gone well it is far to early to get your boxers in a bundle. I'm the eternal pessimist and even I am not too worried. We need more leaders and time to bed in but I am confident we can get it right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Five o Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 We seem to lack movement in the midfield. None of the players make those deep runs into the box, and it leaves Gayle isolated up front. We need to get a CM who will make those runs, and both wingers need to hug the line and bomb the fullbacks so we get some more space. At the moment we are just standing still ,passing the ball around and it looks like we have no space at all when we get the ball over the half way line. Ritchie is the only one who really attaches the space, hope Diame gets going. Its the one thing i miss about Sissoko, he will make those runs.

Wallsendmag Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I think I'd give Aarons a bit more time. He's a young lad and needs a proper run in the team. He's showed flashes of brilliance on occasions but mainly through injury hasn't had a chance to get a proper run in the team. Perennial failures like Colback and Anita have had plenty of opportunities in the past, only fair Aarons gets a fair crack of the whip as well.

He looks scared of getting hurt imo and lacking in a bit of strength. Was very easily dispossessed and brushed aside on Saturday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I think he'll benefit just being played on the opposite wing to Ritchie as opposed to Anita, who the opposition know won't be much of a threat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budgie Smuggler Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Sels Janmaat Mbemba Lascelles Gamez Anita Diame Ritchie Perez Aarons Gayle Not sure why Jesus hasn't been playing. He was a real coup when we managed to sign him yet he's been sat on the bench watching Paul Dummett. Ritchie & Aarons haven't had the chance to play opposite each other yet. I think everyone would agree they're our best two wingers currently. We need craft & guile in behind the striker. Diame is not that man. Although he's been poor so far Ayoze had a really good preseason and needs to be given time to prove he is one of the best players in the division. All of Anita's best games for us have been when he's allowed to do what we signed him to do. Sit in front of the back 4, high work-rate & energy. Move the ball on quickly. He only struggles in there when he's played alongside someone similar and feels the need to become more adventurous which is simply not his game. We all said the same about Tiote. 3/4 years ago when he was a beast, he played so incredibly simple but it was really effective. Like others have said, an early goal would be a god send. Confidence will flow and should Reading need to come out at us, we should be seen at our best going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Are you serious regarding Anita? Only looked decent at right back. Been fucking hideous in central midfield, and hope we never have to see him in there ever again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
