I grew up watching KK's side. So it's not like I haven't seen good players for us. My argument is they are "reasonable" players which ASP said we only had three

 

Compared to KK's side, only Dubravka would get a game.  The others wouldn't even get onto the bench.

 

Dubravka > Hislop

Yedlin << Barton

Fernandez << Albert

Lascelles < Howey

Dummett << Beresford

Kenedy <<<< Gilespie

Diame << Batty

Shelvey << Lee

Ritchie <<<< Ginola

Perez <<<<<<< Ferdinand

Rondon <<<< Shearer

What makes you think Dubravka is better than Shaka was??  id have to say no he isn't its just since Shay left weve been left with shit goalkeepers Dubravka is good but how shit the previous ones have been has made him look so much better

Lee was substantially better than Voldemort. No question.

[Fugazi]

Overrating Shaka somewhat there.

Shaka made a few mistakes especially in his early days where he was like Dracula (afraid of crosses) but overall he was a decent keeper

That's what I said.

I know, but that wasn't what you or I was arguing.

 

Wasn't arguing, I just enjoy torturing us all by making us remember just how good we were, and just how shit we are now.  Personally, I think Dalgleish is an utter cunt for taking that team apart and drafting in his old mates who were shit.  I (and I bet he) wish that KK never left too.

[Colos Short and Curlies]

Not even the best 11 that Keegan put on the pitch for is there. Which kinda proves the point all the more.

 

I'd maybe have Fernandez partnering Albert though, as much as I liked Howey and Peacock was unfairly maligned at times we did miss someone who just put themselves between ball and goal at times

 

 

[geordiedean]

Lee only 2x better than shelvey??...come on man

Shearer only 4x better than Rondon....wtf and Keith Gillespie was light years ahead of Kenedy probably a 6 or 7x needed there

I haven't done it mathematically accurately, man.  Just rough > or <

 

For argument's sake, if I used numbers (out of 10):

 

6 Hislop

7 Barton

8 Albert

7 Howey

7 Gilespie

7 Batty

8 Lee

8 Ginola

9 Ferdinand

10 Shearer

 

6 Dubravka

4 Scharr

4 Dummett

5 Shelvey

1 Diame

3 Ritchie

0 Kenedy

Giving Perez a 1 is very Generous and Dummet a 4 is just plain silly and where is Johnny B from Keegans team

How could I forget Berry - 7

[TRon]

Very hard to pick up wins without goals. I don't know how we are clear tbh, we struggle to score barely a goal a game.

15 goals in 20 games you need to score goals to win games. At this rate we will be lucky to get 25 to 30 goals all season

[astraguy]

This is gonna be a shit 2019 looking at the teams below and knowing they'll invest, 18th place looks our fighting battle

[toon25]

Will be interesting to see what happens to squad morale at the end of Jan seeing other clubs invest.

[Guest covmag]

Still at defcon  5

[Optimistic Nut]

Went from 8 points to 4 points within 10 minutes. Basically relying on Rondon getting to between 12-15 goals to keep us up. Good thing is I think he will manage it:

[Ketsbaia]

You know how we have 4 huge teams in the next 5?

 

In the meantime:

 

Huddersfield v Burnley

Burnley v Fulham

Cardiff v Huddersfield

Southampton v C Palace

Fulham v Brighton

Burnley v Southampton

C Palace v Fulham

 

Think we need Huddersfield to start chipping in, as they all need to take points off each other. Nervous!

[samptime29]

Away form isn't bad (our 3 losses are to Top 6 teams), we're picking up points consistently elsewhere.

 

Cardiff, Palace, Burnley, Huddersfield, Southampton at home - these games will decide.

[triggs]

3

[sbnufc]

0.

[David Edgar]

1-1.

[HaydnNUFC]

We may drop into the bottom 3 in the next month or so because of the fixtures, but we have an okayish run from the Wolves away game onwards to the end of the season.
