Bad day all round,Fulham back in the hunt fair play to them but Huddersfield winning and game in hand which could go to only a 3 point lead,better not put my adult nappies away just yet!
That was beyond the pale for me. Fair enough, I expected defeat, but we were defeated before the whistle blew. Rafa saying "we expect them to have more of the ball" is downright ridiculous. Then go and get the fcking ball, you idiot. Fulham did what has been so easy to do - attack us at home, get a goal and the rest is easy. Only Bristol and Norwich have fcked it up, imagine where we'd be without those 4 points. As it stands, our away form and run looks like being enough to get us over the line. If we had 9 home games left, I'd have us nailed on for the play-offs. Honestly, I don't know what Benitez is doing or even trying to do. Help me out, I can't even make a semblance of sense of playing a long ball at home against a team who set up with a high line. This has to be Colback's last season at Newcastle. He's beyond worthless, just brings absolutely nothing to the game apart from getting in Shelvey's way. Lascelles fannying around at 0-3 down is a huge indictment of the decision to make him captain as well. Really highlighted the hopelessness of this group of players even achieving promotion. We'll be where Sunderland are without a massive overhaul. If, that is, we even get promoted because this week's performances have been nothing short of shambolic.
We won't be top 2 for long with performances like that. Arthritic defence. Non existent midfield. Attrocious. Murphy showed he shouldn't have been dropped either
Obviously you guys know more about your team than I do, but I feel I should say: Fulham are not a bad team, in fact we're the in-form team in this division. I'm sure there's room for criticism and self-reflection, but acting like you just lost at home to Rotherham seems like something of an overreaction.
On my part mate it's a joke, I've predicted 3-1 wins every match for the last 6 years and only been right 4 times... Well done today you deserved it and hope you can get into the play offs. I wish we could play all our matches away because we've been poor at home for most of the season.
You guys 100% deserved to win today. You played like the home side and passed the ball around very well indeed.
Think I had some out of date muesli today as my arse is literally bubbling.... it's times like this I wish I had my mustard chinos on.
We won away at the league leaders, Wednesday & Reading lost, England dominated Scotland at Twickenham... I'm clearly as sober as a judge!
Rafa cost us at home again. Rafa - You get it spot on away from home but come on, you do not play that ****e negative crap at home. You want to find a solution for our home form then play two ****ing strikers and attack teams. We could have been miles clear by now.
It's not so much about today. It;s the fact that we have played so badly at home for so long now. We don't have any adventure and don't even seem to be setting up to try and win. No complaints about a team turning up and being better on the day. But we want to at least make them need to play well. I only listened on the radio (with a really ****e stream) but it sounded like you did play well. The annoying part is that we didn't make you NEED to play well. You would probably have won even if you hadn't.
