You said it'd be a stretch to get in the top 10, we're in the top 10. 

Right now, our season numbers have been bottom half. Struggling for top ten is a stretch, but that outcome is probably more likely than top four.

Thought the first half was probably the best we’ve played this season.
 

Got more and more frustrating as it went on of course, and we continue to make some amateur mistakes and baffling decisions. 

 

Didn’t really deserve to lose but couldn’t get it done.

League Cup game will be huge, if we’re to have a weak season (which is looking very likely) we must be winning a cup. Not sure how Howe stays otherwise, unless club are content with being a top 10 side and don’t need to push.

Due course won’t cut it though. The window is 2 1/2 months away and I’ve little faith in us doing much business to improve the first Xl. You know where we need to finish to hold on to our best players and I think we all know it’s going to take a minor miracle now. We needed a great start. Instead we’ve regressed - again.

Our best players haven’t looked too great this season. Villa moved on their “best player” Grealish and never looked back. Maybe we need to come round to this idea as a fan base, unpalatable as it may seem.

I'm just really disappointed with how this season is going.

 

The problems of last season with the mass injuries and fixture pile-up haven’t been a factor. We've got Bruno, Tonali and Bruno fit and ready to go. Barnes, Isak, Gordon, the attacking full backs we all wanted. I hoped this could be a great, exciting season but aside from small spells here and there we've been poor.

 

You can make the argument that it was "just one of those games" but you lose that right when you have put together a string of largely uninspiring performances.

Hmm, I get your point but we did play very well in the first half. Which is what everyone was waiting for. Just let in a soft goal and then the second half became very frustrating. 
 

Said before this game that the next week or so had the potential to very grim. Get knocked out the cup by Chelsea and lose to Arsenal is very possible.

It’s not knee jerk but it’s going to take a big change to see the season changing much based on the trajectory so far.

 

It’s been a hard watch all season 

I expected 8th or thereabouts, everything so far has been 8th or thereabouts, its easy to predict but a lot harder to stomach the details of what that means - a lot of frustrating games and poor performances.  Season's dragging like f*ck.

Anyways...away from my attempts to bait a response. My largest concern for Newcastle at the moment is around our confidence. I think it's shot to be honest.

 

It has been since we got dropped out the Champions League. We've lost all swagger and faith in our ability both on and off the pitch. Like some form of dementor has sucked the soul out of us. Need a catalyst of sorts to get that back I think.

Really disappointed with this and the Everton result. The subs at the end was just pure desperation stuff.

 

1 point out of these two games isn't good enough and if this is what we're going to be like this year I feel it's going to be a bang average season and we will see huge changes in the club over the summer.

Can you trust our recruitment to properly replace them. The problem is if Bruno keeps playing poorly it will start to get noticed by other teams and he will be sold for nout. Which player would actually make that much of a profit if we keep playing poorly. Unless we sell Miley.

If Isak and Gordon had been in form things would have looked completely different. But they arent and we looked toothless like we have done all season sadly. Other than finishing we looked good before their goal though, so thats a small thing to take with us.

 

Like I have said before, if Eddie deserves credit for making players overperform then he also deserves criticism when players underperform. I think its to easy to say things like he cant put the ball in the net himself. 

 

9 goals in 10 games now, thats shockingly bad. Eddie has a big job getting the players confident infront of goal. The way things look now i wouldnt be surprised to see us bottom half this season.
