gbandit Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 He’s right in what he says, there are fans that jump on all three of those players without taking a breath. They are also three of our weakest players, certainly that get a lot of first team football. So it’s a tricky one, the fans get out of line at times and the players (mainly Sean and Miggy) get some fair stick for performances. I love Miggy but agree that going forward we can’t have him getting serious minutes this season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timnufc22 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 On one hand I understand where he's coming from when vitriol can come down from the stands after a miss etc but on the other it's like the many moments fans belt out the names of himself, Dan Burn & Almiron are just forgotten. We had similar with the England players in the Euro's. How many times has "he's from Blyth", "he's one of our own" "na na na Miggy Almiron" been heard ringing around SJP? Plenty. It feels like there's a mentality from some players these days to focus solely on negative noises and ignore the positive ones. If the argument is the internet then again I kind of understand but at the same time you're a grown man and it's up to you not to be looking at unfiltered comments... like, you have all the money in the world, surely you can find something better to do than scrolling along twitter reading inevitable negative comments if you've played poorly? It's not to say that I agree with unnecessary negativity towards the players, we know there's moaners at every football ground and I'll never approve of it unless a player is taking the piss.

Big River Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 I like Sean, but it's no coincidence the "easy targets" are typically our worst performers it never seems to be personal (I can't speak for what he sees/reads on social media, obviously) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without getting too deep, each situation is slightly different. You’ve just got to focus on yourself and whatever happens, happens.” The midfielder is referring to late June, when the financial year was ending and the club scrambled to avoid breaching the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules (PSR). With homegrown players representing pure profit under PSR, Longstaff was vulnerable but, in the end, Newcastle sold Elliot Anderson to Nottingham Forest (as well as Yankuba Minteh, who had not played a game for the club, to Brighton & Hove Albion). Over the summer break, Sean Longstaff made the most of his time off with some unique experiences. He tried frog legs for the first time and quite liked them, commenting that they tasted a bit like chicken. In addition to expanding his culinary horizons, he also kept up with his interests in sports entertainment. Longstaff watched WWE SummerSlam and was particularly impressed with Logan Paul's performance, noting that Paul has a high ceiling in the wrestling world. Beyond his new gastronomic and entertainment experiences, Longstaff also indulged in some television. He watched a lot of "Motorway Cops" and mused that he might have joined the police force if he hadn't become a professional footballer. This interest in law enforcement shows a different side of the midfielder's personality, one that appreciates the structure and challenges of a career in policing. Longstaff's summer wasn't just about new experiences; it was also about family time. He visited his brother Matty in Toronto, where they clocked Streets of Rage 2 together, enjoying some nostalgic gaming. This trip allowed him to relax and recharge, spending quality time with his brother before the start of the new season. Looking ahead to the upcoming season, Longstaff is filled with anticipation and ambition. He is aiming for five goal contributions, a target that reflects his determination to improve and make a significant impact on the field. His summer break has provided a balance of relaxation, new experiences, and family bonding, setting the stage for what he hopes will be a successful season ahead.
