You’re not wrong - a bad manager gets sacked, a bad player ends up playing for us (joke) but a bad official has nobody to answer to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 1 minute ago, KaKa said: Willock played a full 90 mins today as a central midfielder, and just look at the state of his ball progression carrying the ball and passing it. That is unbelievably bad. How are his numbers carrying the ball so much lower than Longstaff's who is the holding midfielder of the three?! We cannot afford to continue playing this guy in the first team as a central midfielder man. Horrendous, might have been his worst game for us today Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 West Ham next week too. This means in our opening 7 games this season we'll have played the teams finishing 1st, 2nd, 7th, 9th, 10th and 12th + Forest. It's been a tough opening set of fixtures but we need to be more clinical when we get chances, we're nowhere near good enough to waste chance after chance in game like that today.

I suppose that’s why I asked to what end is it corrupt? If it is corruption then there has to be an agenda against us winning games. Who’s giving the order to give us fuck all in these decisions? Who is compliant? All reasonable questions if we’re running with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Gonna be a frustrating season if we keep getting injuries to creative and attacking players. Won't be as bad as we started last season but probably won't ever have the kind of form that we did in the second half. Overall can envisage a marginal improvement on last year's league finish - getting into the top half. Think it's a lot more calming if you accept the reality of our squad depth now and embrace this as a transition year rather than getting too down about frustrating games like that. I just hope we have a really good crack at both cups. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Magpie Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Disgrace to chalk off our goal, it was sound and should of counted We played well, rested plenty though nothing clear cut. Really missing Bruno ASM Wilson. It's clear our squad depth isn't the best and it's frustrating when we have to bring on Wood/Murphy or play Longstaff but Rome wasn't built in a day. We sit 11th after 6 games with 7 points, aye we should have a couple more on the board but it's early days What happened to we don't expect much but a team that tries? Surely people would be happy with a season Top Ten, no worrying about relegation and a cup run? I'm sure some people expect too much at moment.

I absolutely cannot remember a single one. Trippier's red card maybe, and that's just feeling lucky because it actually went our way for once. Hard to think of one other than that.
