ste_ne24 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 On way now for what is only my third ever away game. In the home end with the Forest fans again. Was actually quite proud of myself last season with the restraint I had to show for an injury time winning penalty. Got some proper hacky looks at the end I wonder if they remember me ? It was an incredible atmosphere like last season so looking forward to it ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc123 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Dont think we will see the frantic Luton approach. Probably something similar to the Fulham cup game (hopefully without the sloppiness). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 (edited) It doesn't matter how good we get, there'll always be a player for the permanently miserable element within our support to focus their impotent anger at. Burn came in as one of the best defenders we'd seen at Newcastle in years. Now for them he's the scapegoat. If we continue to push on, the players we love now will take his place, it's inevitable.

If he plays badly tonight or is at fault like last week, the criticism will be more aimed at Howe than Burn himself imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoot Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Hopefully a few chants of "he's from Blyth" tonight from the away end. Get behind him. I'll start the bugger... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burn gives 100% every game and its on Howe not to play him against pacy wingers, booing players or groaning when he's even on the pitch just goes to prove to the other supporters their theory that we are fickle.

nemtizz Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Would like to see Burn dropped but also think it's unlikely he stinks it up that badly again. Obviously he'll knock it straight out of play from a basic pass at least 3/4 times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 4 hours ago, Optimistic Nut said: We played wing-backs and wingers/wide forwards with two CMs under Rafa for 5 months, and it was probably the spell with the most easy on the eye football played in between Robson and Howe. The biggest plus of that formation is that it closes the space where Dan Burn would get exposed in a 4-3-3. Midfield wise we don't have the players fit who can press effectively anyway, and it also means we don't have to play at 100mph when we don't have a squad with enough fit players to implement it over 90mins.

I agree - hugely thankful for what he’s done here obviously but repeatedly making the same mistakes over and over then saying he picks on performances is getting to me now.

The Prophet Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 At least Burn has actually hit a bit of bad form, so the scapegoating of him appears to have done justification. Plus it's taken the heat of Miggy for a bit, small mercies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 (edited) The thing with whether Burn plays or not (personally today I'd play Tino) isn't as straightforward. We've looked better since Longstaff went back on the right but playing Tino with Miley on the left, possibly with Barnes leaves a leadership and experience gap on that side, Miley seems to need a lot of help off the ball,being told where to be etc. It may need to be a weakening in midfield (Longstaff back on the left in order to Trips to help Miley Edited February 10 by madras Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn’t get personal, but the fewm will be elevated to greater levels. Ironically, He'll go and have a stormer, score and we'll all be changin our minds.

You can give 100% but it means nothing when you're constantly getting undone in the same ways, every single game he's getting ran past and embarrassed - when he's not conceding penalties.
