Newcastle United 1-3 Notts Forest (26/12/23)

[dcmk]

It's like some fans only support the team when we are winning. And just need/want to blame individuals.  It's 1-1. They have had two counter attacks, if we tighten that up and not over commit, should win comfortably imo, well based on that first half that is.

Ergh if Isak goes near post with that late header it's in.

 

There's easily still goals in this for both teams like. 2-2 seems a likely outcome.

He really had to leap for it looked like to me from me a standing position so was hard to direct.

Bollocks he's getting the stick he deserves was a ridiculous pass after we'd committed men forward. He constantly makes the wrong decision in the final third and people have had enough of him. 

He never had the angle to shoot, if he did and never scored and they broke away and scored, you would be saying the same thing.

At the end of the day we had 3 players back who were weak and failed to deal with a situation that they should have comfortably dealt with.

 

We all know Miggy has his limitation, like many in the squad. It’s why he’s here, if he was a compete winger then he would have been here for 6-12months before being sold to a club further up the table after we bought him. It’s why we need to build our squad out. We all know that we can’t do that overnight due to FFP.

Almiron seems to be constantly second-guessing himself. Needs to be more decisive like he was during that spell of form

The constant cutting back onto his left is infuriating

Schar looking poor for that goal mind if he holds his ground he would have had a chance to intercept it. Burn looks like he's carrying christmas presents on his back. 

Agreed. 
 

But also why does Botman stop running back?

[clintdempsey]

We haven’t been awful. A few sloppy moments both in attack and defense. 1-1 probably fair but we’ll do these in the second half.

Are half us watching a different match? 

Nope, I think half just loving being negative and half try to be overly positive to stem the tide.

Give them time. They'll turn on him at some point as well. 

Gordon gets goals and assists. It’s en vogue for attackers to do as such. 

[gbandit]

Burn needs to come off, he’s getting beat every time 

[OoOGazOoO]

Man alive that is a big chance! Burn getting rinsed again.

[Mattoon]

Tino needs to come on Burn is getting rinsed

[Aiston]

Should be 2-1 down.

[Miggys First Goal]

Burn…

[McCormick]

We look okay but poor in the final third and suspect defensively. Could go either way second half.

For the 100th time my arse.  Only mention of it I can see was briefly in the prematch thread an hour ago and that wasn't official either. 

It has been mentioned multiple times. Do your research before spouting off at the manager

Longstaff has been abysmal. Been caught on the ball, falling over and just not getting involved.

 

Gordon isn’t creating, Almiron and Longstaff never do and we are leaving it to a 17 year old who is the one putting a shift in. Some players need to step up.

 

You been happy with Longstaff and Almirons shift? Yeah they run about, but what else have they done today. We need more than they offer.

 

 

 

 

I'm not saying you're wrong man. You're right about today. Just interesting they also get those comments and moments.

[Ikon]

Why is burn still on…

[OoOGazOoO]

What happened to the Longstaff that we thought was half decent? Get Jo on!

Gerard Houllier looking down and enjoying seeing an attacker being blamed for a goal being conceded when there’s a whole load game after the incident. 

Thought the very same thing.

Goalkeeper beaten at the near post, defenders and forwards strolling around as if qualification for a world cup wasn't on the line, not laying a glove on the opponent.....definitely the fault of a bloke putting a cross into the box.

[Unbelievable]

What a start to the second half from Burn and Longstaff

[clintdempsey]

That is what happens when Burn gets to close. 

[KaKa]

Elanga cost next to nothing. Would have gladly had him as a right side option. 

 

What a run and cross that was.

[SiLvOR]

Yeah Burn isn't the one for this game, getting rinsed

[Jilted Generator]

Get Tino on man ffs

[Aiston]

They could have scored 3 today and we'd have no complaints so far
