The Merse Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Thought the midfield selection was a little gung ho - could have done with Haydn in there - played some good stuff and if we could have held that 1-0 lead for more than five seconds we maybe could have built on it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Just so gutted we didn't get 3 points. Worse so many other teams did. Really believed we would get it. The knee jerk and gut is that we will go down but the heart thinks we can turn it around and will. We saw lots of that heart today. It will be a ride either way and there are lots of games. We have a good draw in us imo but getting those wins is elusive. Once we do I think we will push on big. Hopefully that doesn't happen too late. It is going to be hugely difficult for us to attract players in January that can truly help. Loans will be our lifeline but beyond that it will be a gamble with players asking for relegation release clauses. We will likely take the gamble but that gamble will likely include players with a bit of baggage. Big test in our recruiting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit mad that Norgaard got a yellow for injuring ASM yet ASM still had to go off for treatemnt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 That was class in so many ways. We looked much better going forward but some brainless moments. Thought they were poor in the second half and we deserved it from there, but that's not the way it works obvs. Atmosphere was brilliant as well. Was bursting with pride on a few occasions. The change in performances was more stark than I was expecting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 I was absolutely glued to the tele today, so animated, leaping up and down. Honestly thought it would take me longer cos it was miles away during the Spurs and Chelsea games, but the new manager has changed everything for me. Feels so, so good to be back.

Keggy_Keagal Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 I'm a Newcastle United supporter that doesn't change if we're a Championship club. After what Ashley did to Keegan I couldn't bring myself to love what the club then became. Who wouldn't have taken relegation to get rid of him ? We've a club that wants to go forwards with a manager who in two weeks has already undone some of the dross of the Bruce era. Those players kept fighting, they didn't fold and they deserve our support. We've still a chance it's going to be difficult and against the odds but we've never done anything the easy way have we ?

Chris_R Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 The overall performance today was very good. Repeat that to the end of the season and we'll get wins. Howe showed at Bournemouth that he can get points off big teams too. We're not down and out, not by a long way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackyboy Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Didn't win but most enjoyable performance for over 2 years. Joelinton, apart from not even managing to get a shot away with that opportunity, was the best I've seen from him. Darlow was the only reason we lost. Shelvey a massive improvement in performance and attitude. Tough days ahead but I think we can survive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OoOGazOoO Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 The fact we actually had more than 30% possession, and more possession than the opposing team, is astonishing!!! Who knew! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 As the fitness levels improve we'll be picking up more and more points. That first half is how we'll be playing all 90. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Pilgrim Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 I think there is the bones of something decent there today but we are like 9 points worse off cos of darlow and woodman than we should be. Start dubravka or go down, simple as that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Breeze Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 11 months ago we lost 1-0 to Championship Brentford without barely even crossing into their half. Since then, they’ve got promoted and strengthened whilst we’ve stood still. What a difference a competent manager makes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWN Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Just got in from the game , a few bullet points to sum it up how I saw it . Joelinton was magnificent, shame he didn’t get the winner Darlow is a bastard Willock was influential in nothing Shelvey had a good game We still looked so uncomfortable in our play Wilson never got a sniff They got soooooo lucky on the third goal point was about right . Atmosphere was better . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbers Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Todays game (after 10 days of coaching) and our style of play was night and day from what we have seen under Bruce. I think more time and more coaching along with bringing players in January and we will be good. Oh and fuck Steve Bruce and "you can't just change things overnight", that fat cunts lies were blown out of the water today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
