Besides, the travelling support have been treated fairly okay this season with 5 wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats. Deserve it for supporting their team give over man. That line up was a piss take if you disagree that's up to you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really pissed off with that starting lineup today. That took the piss out of 4500 fans paying good money today. We’re flying high in the league with a paper thin squad, play a high energy game, going for the big European places and are still in another cup competition. How many games do you expect our first eleven to play? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 The reality is that our reserve team were not match fit and were well off the pace of the game. We all know they are not Prem league standard otherwise we would see them week in week out. I feel that Lewis was trying to be oversafe in everything he did and Anderson just couldn’t get going and seemed a yard off the pace, he deffo needs to go out on loan. No excuses for Chris or Murphy, they have to play better than that… I thought our standout players were Big Jow and Botman. Subs made a difference but just too late Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDog Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 21 minutes ago, LiquidAK said: Well that was actually horrific. Some genuinely terrible individual performances, particularly Lewis & Wood. The 2nd string is a mile off the 1st XI and this has exposed that massively - best time for it I suppose going into January, shows the owners the need for further investment despite our league position. However, this won't be popular but it's a hill I'll die on - none of our players are cunts, none of them deserve abuse. That famous banner said we demand a club and team that tries and we've got that - doesn't mean they're all up to the quality we need going forward. Bravo! A man who makes perfect sense.

Newcastle Fan Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 There has to be some serious reaction to a defeat like this to show what sort of club we are trying to be, this game was the sort we used to see under Ashley and Bruce and expect the same to happen this year, it cannot be allowed to just pass.

King HTT III Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Positives is that, even though most are shite, got some game time which lets face it when you have a squad they need, that and hopefully it reinforces the desperate need to bin most of them and bring in some quality players to replace them, even as squad players. Wanna be a big team, a big boy, win things? You can’t be starting half that shite even in a cup game against L1 level opposition.

Guest reefatoon Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) Not sure what some people saw in Longstaff’s performance mind. Thought he was piss poor. Our midfield was a mess. Edited January 7, 2023 by reefatoon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) Was frustrating to watch - both the game and how glaringly poor some of the players are. But already over it. We had to play a weakened team. This match was meaningless compared to Leicester. And we all know how poor the fringe players are (well Lewis actually reminded us, the others are well known) Cambridge but with TWO far bigger fish to fry. Also thanks to the powers that be for demeaning the cup, really helps at times like this. Edited January 7, 2023 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So three players out of 11 whilst playing 8 others who have hardly played together. instead of having to bring players on to try and rescue the game, maybe you bring those players off after the game is won. As I said if you're happy with today that's your choice, I'm certainly not and I warned the exact thing would happen a couple of days ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who’s turned on Howe? Haven’t seen a single comment suggesting that anyone has. Any NUFC manager should be open to criticism for losing to third tier opposition in the FA Cup. That’s hardly the same as calling for his head. Is not a single word of criticism allowed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
