    I was going to post 0-2

    I just can't see us scoring at all. Just really hope it isn't a draw, that's probably worst case scenario as we'd just lose in Blackburn and have to play another midweek game for the privilege.

    Armstrong and/or Graham to score.

    Christ we're boring.
    This isn't a knee jerk reaction but I haven't enjoyed watching us for a while

    Drab, dire and depressing to watch.

    Know our players are **** and I don't quite believe Joselu is at the club (who evers decision that was needs torturing) but for me this is down to the manager. Utter garbage served up week after week. If staying in the league means watching this any more I hope we get relegated and Rafa ****s off.

    A selection of Joselu comments from BBC

    Joselu is back up and running again after his earlier knock and fires a tame shot that deflects out for a corner.

    Joselu's follow-up is deflected wide for a corner. The Spanish striker has had two good chances in this match

    If Joselu could shoot he would be a world beater.

    Newcastle striker Joselu fires another shot, this time from distance, which David Raya saves. He was flagged offside, but the replay showed that he wasn't. He still missed though, to be fair.


    For anyone working under he misconception that Joselu is PL standard striker, he’s not. He tries and for that he shouldn’t be criticised but it simply highlights Ashley’s mismanagement of the Club that Joselu is still around to get a game even if it is in the Cup.

    My post above was being typed prior to my seeing your comment but as I’ve stated it demonstrates Ashley’s mismanagement not Rafa’s. Link this in with the post on another thread where in 3 transfer windows we have made a £2M profit. Hardly what Rafa would want to have spent, or not spent.

    ****ing sack Rafa off, this is ****. Why is ****ing Joselu here and Sorensen, who unsurprisingly won’t sign a contract as he feels he won’t get developed, is playing in the reserves?

    Manager needs to go with Ashley.

    Playing the same ****ing formation, one useless striker, the same plodding bollocks, as if all of a sudden it’s going to magically work? Sod off. We had less possession at home than Blackburn bloody Rovers.

    Who do you propose as a better manager for our pathetic club? We're lucky to have such a proven and succesful manager and you need to give yourself a shake .

    By rights we deserve to go down this season. I look at the teams below us and although they don't have particularly better players I honestly don't think they're notably worse. We aren't doing anything in the Premiership, we should just step aside and let someone else have a go who's actually going to try and get results all season. We're terrible to watch and quite frankly I've stopped doing so. If the FA Cup game was on tv right now I'd probably grab a torch and do some gardening instead, or sleep. Yeah maybe sleep.

    A half blind man with an eye patch on the wrong eye should be able to work out the root cause of our problems.

    We ALL know it’s Ashley but Rafa is having an abysmal season and should be sacked.
