James Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 It’s the same old story whoever the manager is, if the board/club owners do not back the manager then the players will eventually stop playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickthemagpie Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Howey on this "debate" thing on Sky What's he saying? Stick him on the list on the good side Literally everything. Even brought up the St James' bogs Really impressed, even shutting Bellamy up who's trying his best to get some pro-Ashley drivel in Bellamy said nothing of the sort man.

Skeletor Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Our inability to create chances is starting to become a real worry. We don't even seem good enough to keep it tight at the back either this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Our inability to create chances is starting to become a real worry. We don't even seem good enough to keep it tight at the back either this year. With Lejeune out I think a partnership of Lascelles and Fernandez (with Dummett & Yedlin either side) will see our defensive solidity of last season return. We're still okay in that department. Going forward is a concern, but even last season creating chances wasn't the problem, it was Gayle & Joselu's inability to finish them. Getting Shelvey back makes us far more competent in terms of creating chances. Joselu looks much improved which is good, as him & Rondon will be critical.

Critical to what exactly? Coming 17th and keeping Ashley and sports direct on the gravy train. Last season I would of agreed and was desperate to stay up as I stupidly thought we could build. That boat has long gone. I'd argue if relegation meant the start of Ashley leaving it's better than staying up in this zombie state. That's how serious things are now.

HaydnNUFC Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I don't think relegation will spell the end either. I think he'll just "loan" the club more money increasing its debt even further, for transfers etc, have a manager who is an utter mong but ok enough at Championship level bring us back up and the cycle starts again.

In calmer moments the thought of all the mackems and Media etc laughing at us going down annoys me. It just feels there is nothing even to debate now or to progress too other than see if we can come 17th and see what the reaction is towards Ashley if/when Rafa leaves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah definitely that. He will never sell it off his own back either. We can't win. He just has his fat mits round the clubs neck. Why did it have to happen to Newcastle man!

Dave Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Barely even registered with me, this result. Didn't watch or listen to it (I know, what a hero) and don't really care that we lost. Good that Rondon got off the mark I guess. I'm think I'm almost at the point of actually wanting us to lose again, just to see what happens. Just to see some anger from the fans, just to see yet more focus on what's going wrong at this club. However the manager and coaching staff don't deserve that, nor do most of the players that are actually trying their best but simply aren't good enough. And obviously it's not at all fair on those that continue to support the club through thick and thin. It's much easier for me to say this as a non-Geordie; as I've said on lots of occasions I'm not going to pretend I know what many of you feel inside. Sad, sad times. We're a f***ing disgrace.

ohmelads Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Bit surprised at how suddenly gutted people are. We never try in the cups under Ashley, and successive managers know they don't have the squad to give it a go. We're always on the cusp of relegation or promotion. A couple of key injuries would relegate us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
