Guest reefatoon Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Our lack of creativity and lack of being able to break a team down who sit back is alarming. At no point did I think we were going to score or even look like it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Players looked a little used to losing. Very fatigued mentally as well as physically. They'll be very disappointed. We need to be supporters not just fans. It's easy to get emotional and reactive after a bad few weeks. Let's see how we are come the end of January.

Conjo Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Probably the absolute worst time to face Luton who is playing for their captain, at home with fresh legs against a tired Newcastle who's poor away from home and licking its wounds after rapidly getting eliminated from the league cup and europe. Luton were great. Rarely seen a team battle as hard as they did and thoroghly deserved all the points today. I hope we'd come back against Forest in three days but without players coming back fresh from injury we are limited in what we can do. Put the players on ice until then and pray for an early goal.

LionOfGosforth Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 It wasn't good today, and the away form is poor but it doesn't take much critical thinking to see why it's like this.

Novocastrian Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 4 minutes ago, Armchair Pundit said: They can fuck off with this shit. There was always the worry that peaking too early last season when the squad wasn't ready would lead to this. The long term demotivation and weakening of the mental strength of the team being shredded is now what worries me. To go from the way the players played last season to their current plight is abysmal and at this point in time I'm really not sure who to blame. Injuries are one thing, but we should still be able to work a result against a team like Luton, even if we were using half the youth team! We go again in 4 days and Gordon, who was probably carrying a knock, and Almiron have just played another 180 mins. What’s the answer? I would have lined Gordon to have been rested midweek. The wide players have the hardest job in Howe’s system. We are breaking them at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouldy_uk Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 If we were putting in these performances with the likes of Tonali, Barnes, Wilock, Pope, Joe, etc.. all available, then I’d be worried. The next few weeks are going to nasty, but I think we will bounce back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAK Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Not getting CL this season unless PIF chuck some serious money at the winter window and everyone seems to reckon we don’t have the FFP wiggle room. Really need a right sided winger, attacking midfielder who can thread a pass, striker, and centre back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will improve, might be a while yet though. We’ve played half a season of away games without many tough fixtures in that run and have five points from it. This isn’t a rough spell, they have been poor away for half a season. There is clearly something wrong - that doesn’t mean Howe isn’t the man to fix it; but it’s a bit more than a spell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Been an absolute disaster of a past month. We have to be better, we DESPERATELY need two outfield signings to buoy the squad. but to compile everything we are also shit out of luck. - PSG VAR debacle - constant injuries - lack of VaR being a difference maker at Chelsea. - Facing Luton turbo charged after last week's incident. - mackems with a new manager Can't rely on the excused but fuck we have been unlucky too. Ultimately we still don't offer enough up top and aren't consistently clinical enough (not a new problem) to be a top 6 team. Fine margins but we could be sat 2nd right now had we been better finishing or had that luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UncleBingo Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 7 minutes ago, Tiotes Witch Doctor said: We are back sliding massively, Howe has a lot of credit in the bank but this feels like we've been figured out to me, last season it was disappointing draws and we've regressed and moved into very disappointing losses, we are very easy to play against away from home, the more worrying part is that we can't seem to keep possession for dear life, our midfield has been absolutely shambolic. Aye, nowt to do with having half a squad missing or key players running on empty/playing when not fully fit. Have a bit of context at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not finding that way too often to claim to be a good team right now. Questions to answer for manager, squad and club in January. Petrified of the mackems match now. "We're a highly physical side who have a severely depleted squad, who have been playing in the most conjested point of the season in 2 extra competitions" Eddie Howe probably.
